STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN
The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out.
Mark 9:26
Evil never surrenders its grasp without a tremendous fight.
We never arrive at any spiritual inheritance through the enjoyment of a picnic but always through the fierce conflicts
of the battlefield. And it is the same in the deep recesses of
the soul. Every human capacity that wins its spiritual freedom does so at the cost of blood. Satan is not put to flight by our courteous request. He completely blocks our way, and our progress must be recorded in blood and tears.
We need to remember this, or else we will be held responsible for the arrogance of misinterpretation. When
we are born again, it is not into a soft and protected nursery
but into the open countryside, where we actually draw our strength from the distress of the storm. "We must go through
many hardships to enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22).
(John Henry Jowett)
Faith of our Fathers! living still,In spite of dungeon, fire and sword:
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy Whene'er we hear that glorious word.
Faith of our Fathers! Holy Faith! We will be true to Thee till death!
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart of conscience free;
How sweet would be their children's fate If they, like them, could die for Thee!
Good Morning Mel!!
This is Tracy. Happy to hear of your coming move to a beautiful area! How exciting that is!! I am praying for you!!
I would like to know if you can attach this video/movie to the devotional?
It's perfect for this. I had never watched The Pilgrim's Progress until last night.
It's awesome! And as I was reading the devotion to post, it goes hand in hand!!!
