My Utmost For His Highest

Faith Defenders

  • KEEP YOURSELF IN THE LOVE OF GOD September 3, 2010
    Years ago, God put it on my heart to start a boys’ home on Long Island. I truly sensed the Lord was behind this work. Yet, after just eighteen months, state officials imposed such stringent regulations on the operation of the home that we had no option but to close it down. We’d taken in four boys during the brief time we were open. After we closed down, I l […]

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.

My Mirror – a video

A very dear brother from the other ministry site that I am involved with called Faith Defenders, put this video together with a poem  My Mirror,  that the Lord gave me a while back.

Thanks Andy!

I trust you will be blessed by it as much as I am.

‘The Curse Motif’ by RC Sproul and ‘Not faith, but Christ’ by Horatius Bonar

Two incredibly good pieces on the Cross of Christ.  First a video by RC Sproul and then a written message by Horatius Bonar.

Be so blessed by them both.

Not faith, but Christ — Horatius Bonar

OUR justification is the direct result of our believing the gospel; our knowledge of our own justification comes from believing God’s promise of justification to every one who believes these [...]

Again, can you hear the still, small voice?

Reading David Wilkerson’s Daily blog today,  (and please do go and read it ) I was reminded of a post I wrote in September of 2008, most part of which is the title above.

It is one of those posts that is still very much a part of my life and I have learned with slow, awkward steps and many  scraped knees from falling down,  to wait upon the Lord and to listen for His voice a little better than I did at the time of writing it.

I came through a personal crisis last year, that [...]

Update on brother Mike Ratliff

A couple of posts ago, I shared  that Mike Ratliff had had a seizure. This is an update on his condition and also a link to a most wonderful posting that he has written.

Come to Me and I Will Give You Rest

My brethren, I do not know why God has brought back a very old illness to torment me at this time. I suffered several seizures in the late 1970’s, but have had none since then until a few weeks ago. I have had two over a period of 10 days. They were very severe and I am in a lot [...]

My Utmost For His Highest – Oswald Chambers

September 6th.

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 uttermost parts of the earth. We have nothing to do with the outflow – “This is the work of God that ye believe. . . .” God rarely allows a soul to see how great a blessing he is.

A river is victoriously persistent, it overcomes [...]

“I Indeed… But He”

August 22nd. My Utmost for His Highest – Oswald Chambers

“I INDEED… BUT HE”

I indeed baptize you with water . . but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.” Matthew 3:11

Have I ever come to a place in my experience where I can say – “I indeed – but He”? Until that moment does come, I will never know what the baptism of the Holy Ghost means. I indeed am at an end, I cannot do a thing: but He begins just there – He does the things no one else can ever do. Am I prepared for [...]

Sanctification – Death and Life

What is Sanctification? How does it take place. What do I have to do to have this happen in my life? Know this: all who belong to the Lord are all going to go through it His way.

In the first writing, Oswald Chambers explains the Death side of Sanctification. Then He looks at the Life side.

Be so encouraged to reach all the more beyond your grasp for  the Lord, as you learn to die to yourself and allow Him to form Christ in you. ( and I include myself fully here too )

Bless you

Fellowship In The Gospel

FELLOWSHIP IN THE GOSPEL

“Fellow labourer in the gospel of Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 3:2

After sanctification it is difficult to state what your aim in life is, because God has taken you up into His purpose by the Holy Ghost; He is using you now for His purposes throughout the world as He used His Son for the purpose of our salvation. If you seek great things for yourself – God has called me for this and that; you are putting a barrier to God’s use of you. As long as you have a personal interest in your own [...]

All I once Held Dear – Knowing You, Jesus

This audio track of All I Once Held Dear, is by one of my favourite singers – Robin Mark. I heard some of his music for the first time about 5 years ago when the Lord started ‘undoing’ me and taking me into the very painful process of ‘more of Him and less of me’.

I am from Scotland, so the instruments he uses and the Celtic style of his music, has always drawn me. I don’t know anything about him, but I simply love his music ministry.

The first time I sang this song, or rather, blubbered my way [...]
