  • THE BENT OF REGENERATION

    My Utmost For His Highest When it pleased God, … to reveal His son in me. Gal. 1:15, 16. If Jesus Christ is to regenerate me, what is the problem He is up against? I have a heredity I had no say in; I am not holy, nor likely to be; and if all Jesus…

  • THE BIAS OF DEGENERATION

    My Utmost For His Highest Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Romans 5:12. The Bible does not say that God punished the human race for one man’s sin; but that the disposition of sin, viz.,…

  • THE VISION AND THE VERITY

    My Utmost For His Highest Called to be saints. 1 Cor. 1:2. Thank God for the sight of all you have never yet been. You have had the vision, but you are not there yet by any means. It is when we are in the valley, where we prove whether we will be the choice…

  • THE SPHERE OF MINISTRATION

    My Utmost For His Highest This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Mark 9:29. “Why could not we cast him out?” The answer lies in a personal relationship to Jesus Christ. This kind can come forth by nothing but by concentration and redoubled concentration on Him. We can ever remain…

  • THE SPHERE OF HUMILIATION

    My Utmost For His Highest If Thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Mark 9:22.

  • THE SPHERE OF EXALTATION

    My Utmost For His Highest Jesus leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves. Mark 9:2. We have all had times on the mount, when we have seen things from God’s standpoint and have wanted to stay there; but God will never allow us to stay there. The test of our spiritual life…

  • THE COMMISSION OF THE CALL

    My Utmost For His Highest Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body’s sake. Col. 1:24. We make calls out of our own spiritual consecration, but when we get right with God He brushes all these aside,…

  • THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE CALL

    My Utmost For His Highest For necessity is laid upon me: yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1 Cor. 9:16. We are apt to forget the mystical, supernatural touch of God. If you can tell where you got the call of God and all about it, I question whether you…

  • THE “GO” OF UNCONDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION

    My Utmost For His Highest One thing thou lackest.… come, take up the cross, and follow Me. Mark 10:21. The rich young ruler had the master passion to be perfect. When he saw Jesus Christ, he wanted to be like Him. Our Lord never puts personal holiness to the fore when He calls a disciple;…

  • THE “GO” OF RENUNCIATION

    My Utmost For His Highest Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest. Luke 9:57. Our Lord’s attitude to this man is one of severe discouragement because He knew what was in man. We would have said—‘Fancy losing the opportunity of winning that man!’ ‘Fancy bringing about a north wind that froze him and turned…
