Cautions - 4

There are five concluding cautions for the bringing forth of the inner life of faith. If we pay attention to these cautions, the result will be a life of holy joy and peace.

4. Be sure of God.

  • If you desire spiritual gifts, not for your own gratification, but for the glory of Christ;
  • if, so far as you know, your heart is rid of evil, and your life of sinful habit;
  • if you perceive that the promise is for you, because you are not only a son, but an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ;
  • if you feel an eager desire that God has instilled to lead you to this very point
- then
  • open your mouth wide, and believe that God fills it;
  • unshutter every window in your spirit, and believe that the light enters;
  • throw wide every aperture of your being, and believe that you have received what you needed and sought.
According to your faith, it shall be unto you.
In some moment of need, or when you least expect it,
  • some glad consciousness of joy,
  • or peace,
  • or nearness to Christ,
  • or new influence over others,

will be the evidence that you did receive.

Father,
thank You for answering my prayer;
thank You for giving me the desires of my heart,
in Jesus' name,
Amen.
