There shall not be within thee anything that would withdraw from all that the Lord would set before thee. It is a time that the Lord would remove from thee even thy fears—not the fear of facing the enemy, but the fear of the deep dealings of the Lord, the fear of what you would find in your own heart. None of these things should cause you to draw back, for behold, thou art destined in the plan of God to be conformed to the image of His dear Son. Yea, He shall bring many sons to glory. He shall work in thee a deep work. Yea, He shall not rest until He hath completed it. He shall bring it forth in His righteousness and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, that He’s both the author and the finisher of your faith. Having begun this work within thee, He is able to perform it unto the day of the Lord.
Let your heart rejoice. God hath covenanted with thee by His precious blood that He shall present thee in His own nature, in His own likeness, in His own holiness, in His own eternity, in His own love. You shall rejoice that the hand of the Lord bringeth it to pass. Do not fear nor draw back, for thou art but the clay in the hand of the potter. Submit thyself unto the Lord. Rejoice in Him. Worship Him. Hath He not done all things well within thy life? Hath He not put an end to that which should be ended? Hath He not blessed and smiled upon that which should be brought forth? Doth He not treat thee like a tender plant and bring thee forth? Yea, thou art even the husbandry of God, the garden of the Lord. Thou art His planting. He doth nourish thee and rain upon thee. He doth prune thee. He doth delight in thee and ordain that thou shalt bring forth much fruit, in the name of the Lord. Let there be that within thine heart which says, “Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be God whose hand faileth me not, who shall not cast me down, but shall perform all His will within my life.” Amen.
