Resolved, Never To Count That A Prayer,

The Spirit Of God Is Given To The True Saints To Dwell In Them As His Proper Lasting Abode To Dwell In Them And To Influence Their Hearts As A Principle Of New Nature Or As A Divine Supernatural Spring Of Life And Action.

Nothing Sets A Person So Much Out Of The Devil's Reach As Humility.

Resolved, Never To Count That A Prayer, Nor To Let That Pass As A Prayer, Nor That As A Petition Of A Prayer, Which Is So Made, That I Cannot Hope That God Will Answer It; Nor That As A Confession, Which I Cannot Hope God Will Accept.

If I Murmur In The Least At Affliction, If I Am In Any Way Uncharitable, If I Revenge My Own Case, If I Do Anything Purely To Please Myself Or Omit Anything Because It Is A Great Denial, If I Trust Myself, If I Take Any Praise For Any Good Which Christ Does By Me, Or If I Am In Any Way Proud, I Shall Act As My Own And Not God’s.

Christ Is Like A River In Another Respect. A River Is Continually Flowing, There Are Fresh Supplies Of Water Coming From The Fountain-head Continually, So That A Man May Live By It, And Be Supplied With Water All His Life. So Christ Is An Ever-flowing Fountain; He Is Continually Supplying His People, And The Fountain Is Not Spent. They Who Live Upon Christ, May Have Fresh Supplies From Him To All Eternity; They May Have An Increase Of Blessedness That Is New, And New Still, And Which Never Will Come To An End.
