My Utmost For His Highest

Faith Defenders

  • A DRY SPELL March 5, 2010
    I preach to thousands, yet there are times I feel so very dry—so far away from the presence of God. In such moments, I have no great yearning to read the Word. The reading of the Bible, in times of dryness, is done mostly through a sense of obligation. When I’m dry and empty, I feel little compulsion to pray even though I know my faith is intact, and my love […]

David Wilkerson Today

The Solas

Sola Scriptura
The Bible is the sole written divine revelation and alone can bind the conscience of believers absolutely.

Sola Fide
Justification is by faith alone. The merit of Christ imputed to us by faith is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are remitted.

Solus Christus
Christ is the only mediator through whose work we are redeemed.

Sola Gratia
Our salvation rests solely on the work of God’s grace for us and in us.

Soli Deo Gloria
To God alone belongs the glory.

Supernaturally brought to Life

Some thoughts I have been having today.

Until a few years ago when  asked about the Lord, after I got my wits about me after frantically trying to work out how exactly to word myself, I usually ended up having very little to say, if anything at all and would be left with a feeling of [...]

Would we have been marked with an X, by the Angel in Ezekiel?

Sometimes the Lord asks us difficult things. The reason they are deemed difficult, is that we are faced with ourselves, whilst looking into His ‘mrror’.

This message below, by Pastor Larry De Bruin from Herescope blog is one such message that holds up just that, the Lord’s ‘mirror’. It s a sobering [...]

Some of Oswald Chambers’ quotes on prayer

Perhaps you have never thought of prayer in any other way other than “you need, you ask and God delivers…” Whether this is how you understand prayer or not, I  would really encourage you to read on,  and be blessed by them and learn  from someone who walked close to the Lord and who through [...]

All of you.

I visited a site this morning that I belonged to a few years ago and came across this posting that I wrote back  in 2006 of which the main thrust was to become the title for this blog, Surrender All.
We are now almost in 2010 and my relationship in the Lord has certainly grown, and [...]

After Surrender – What?

September 13th. My Utmost for His Highest – Oswald Chambers

“I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” John 17:4

Surrender is not the surrender of the external life, but of the will; when that is done, all is done. There are very few crises in life; the great crisis is the surrender of [...]

“To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal?”

There is a burning desire in many to bring about a unification of all faiths and that we can all now worship together because of this. That is of course, if you are not a Spirit-filled child of God.

We also know that this is part of the times we are living in -that the Lord’s [...]

Before The Throne of God Above

I feel very overwhelmed in my heart tonight. I am full of worship and awe but It feels like I have lips that are lame.  Sometimes there are just no words to express what one feels.  This old Hymn does it much better than I can. I will add the audio shortly.

DIFFUSIVENESS OF LIFE

“Rivers of living water.” John 7:38

A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus says if we have received of His fulness, however small the visible measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless to the [...]

Please pray for Mike Ratliff

This is a request for prayer for a very dear brother in the Lord – Mike Ratliff who is a fellow-blogger and has the blog – Possessing the Treasure.  I have been so incredibly blessed by the Lord connecting me with him. A couple of weeks ago, he  thought he had tick-bite fever, but it [...]
