  • GOD FIRST

    My Utmost For His Highest Put God First in Trust. Jesus did not commit Himself unto them, … for He knew what was in man. John 2:24–25 . Our Lord trusted no man; yet He was never suspicious, never bitter, never in despair about any man because He put God first in trust; He trusted…

  • Yes – But …!

    My Utmost For His Highest Lord, I will follow Thee; but … Luke 9:61. Supposing God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense, what are you going to do? Hang back? If you get into the habit of doing a thing in the physical domain, you will do…

  • UNDISTURBED RELATIONSHIP

    My Utmost For His Highest At that day ye shall ask in My name … The Father Himself loveth you. John 16:26, 27. “At that day ye shall ask in My name,” i.e., in My nature. Not—‘You shall use My name as a magic word,’ but—‘You will be so intimate with Me that you will…

    My Utmost For His Highest And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. John 16:23. When is “that day”? When the Ascended Lord makes you one with the Father. In that day you will be one with the Father as Jesus is, and “in that day,” Jesus says, “ye shall ask Me nothing.” Until…

    My Utmost For His Highest Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49.

    My Utmost For His Highest Pray without ceasing. 1 Thess. 5:17. We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing…

  • THE TEST OF SELF-INTEREST

    My Utmost For His Highest If thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. Genesis 13:9. As soon as you begin to live the life of faith in God, fascinating and luxurious prospects will open…

  • THE DELIGHT OF DEPAIR

    May 24, 2025 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. Rev. 1:17. It may be that like the apostle John you know Jesus Christ intimately, when suddenly He appears with no familiar characteristic at all, and the only thing you can do is to fall at His feet as dead.…

  • CAREFUL INFIDELITY

    My Utmost For His Highest Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25. Jesus sums up commonsense carefulness in a disciple as infidelity. If we have received the Spirit of God, He will press through and…

  • NOW THIS EXPLAINS IT

    My Utmost For His Highest That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us. John 17:21. If you are going through a solitary way, read John 17, it will explain exactly why you are where you are—Jesus has prayed that…
