The Ministry of Health and Healing
can do for and through us. You are not engaged in your own work;
you are doing the work of God. Surrender your will and way to Him.
Hold nothing back. Make not a single compromise with self. Know
what it is to be free in Christ.
The mere hearing of sermons Sabbath after Sabbath, the reading
of the Bible through and through, or the explanation of it verse by
verse, will not benefit us or those who hear us, unless we bring the
truths of the Bible into our individual experience. The understanding,
the will, the affections, must be yielded to the control of the Word
of God. Then through the work of the Holy Spirit the precepts of
the Word will become the principles of the life.
As you ask the Lord to help you, honor your Savior by believing
that you do receive His blessing. All power, all wisdom, are at our
command. We have only to ask.
Walk continually in the light of God. Meditate day and night
upon His character. Then you will see His beauty and rejoice in His
[303]
goodness. Your heart will glow with a sense of His love. You will
be uplifted as if borne by everlasting arms. With the power and light
that God imparts, you can comprehend more and accomplish more
than you ever before thought possible.
“Abide in Me”
Christ bids us, “‘Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless
you abide in Me. ... He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much
fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. ... If you abide in Me, and
My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall
be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much
fruit; so you will be My disciples. As the Father loved Me, I also
have loved you; abide in My love. ... You did not choose Me, but I
chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and
that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in
My name He may give you.’”
John 15:4-16

“‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My
voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him,
and he with Me.’”
Revelation 3:20
