Seek guidance for outer action, but be even more concerned with the desires of the heart, that they be consistent with the character of the Lord Jesus Christ. Never did He call upon men for protection, nor even upon angels, although they were sent to minister to Him. It was His own inner unification with the Fathers heart that effected His preservation against all evil that was directed against Him. Even so your own heart purity determines the extent of your personal preservation. 


In the biblical account (2 Kings 6:17) Gehazi owed his own safety to Elisha. for God was with Elisha, the man of God in the form of an angelic host that filled the mountains, and Gehazi the servant, benefited by being in his company. So shall it be for those who journey with you, as God, seeing your confidence in Him and desire to please Him and do His will, moves in your behalf.

My protection is all you need, My child. The help of man is vain, for he who would protect another is himself never beyond the reach of danger. He who looks to the Almighty for aid will not be tempted to seek elsewhere for strength or shelter.

Information man may supply, but bring this to Me, and let Me give you wisdom as to the right use of knowledge.  All will fall into place beautifully as you rest in My hands. Fear not that any can harm you. Fear only the potential treachery of your own heart, for often in the midst of what seems a holy action, there suddenly appears a traitorous motive.

It is by My Spirit that you overcome, because My Spirit is the spirit of love, for God is love; and love will give tolerance for hardship. He who knows he is loved can be content with a piece of bread, while all the luxuries of the world cannot satisfy the craving of the lonely. 

You need never be that one deprived of comfort as long as your desires are fulfilled in Me; for as it is written, I satisfy the hungry with good things, while the rich go empty away (Luke 1:53). He who goes away will always be empty in spite of his riches. He who seeks Me will never be unhappy or poor.

taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"

Through many bewildering experiences I deal with the soul of a man. When there is submission of spirit, all things work together for good. This is why I said all things work together for good to them that love Me (Romans 8:28). The soul that submits to My disciplines is the soul that loves Me. 

Love will hold a man steady beneath the chastening rod because love believes and hopes in all things (1 Cor. 13:7). Love will never fail. It will endure whatever comes because it rests in Me rather than in the circumstance .
