For you may live in a crowd, but you meet God and face eternity alone.

Unless we are really trusting Him, where does the praise come in? This peace the Savior gives is not an artificial one. It is so deep that even the devil can't disturb it. You can't hear things in the Spirit while you have any turmoil or fear in you. You can't take a shade of fear into the presence of God.

Rees Howells

The man who has only God to look to can do all things and never fail.

The man broke down and cried. He was a stranger to the grace of God, but, as Mr. Howells said, "He saw God's love making him equal to a rich man. I thought it was worth it all if only to reach him."

"So I gave the enemy one hit," Rees said, "and told him that I wasn't going to pray a single prayer for money until the end of the month. I never doubted that the people I was working for would pay me on Saturdays, so why should I doubt God? I didn't pray a single prayer again, but lived to worship my heavenly Bridegroom."

The place of intercession gained at that time holds good today. There was no need for the Lord to test it over again, unless there had been indifference or backsliding. From that gained position, one can continually pray for the orphans, and ask the Lord to be a Father to them even through others, because one only asks Him to do through another what he is willing for the Lord to do through him. That is the law of intercession on every level of life, that only so far as we have been tested and proved willing to do a thing ourselves, can we intercede for others. Christ is an Intercessor, because He took the place of each one prayed for. We are never called to intercede for sin, that has been done once and for all; but we are often called to intercede for sinners and their needs, and the Holy Ghost can never 'bind the strong man' through us on a higher level than that in which He has first had victory in us.
