not a touch of power upon our body which restores and then leaves it to
the mere resources of natural strength and life for the future; but it is
the vital and actual union of our mortal body with the risen body of our
Lord Jesus Christ, so that His own very life comes into our frame and He
is Himself made unto us strength, health and full physical redemption.

He is alive forevermore and condescends to live in these houses of clay.
They who thus receive Him may know Him as none ever can who exclude Him
from the bodies which He has made for Himself. This is one of the deep and
precious mysteries of the Gospel. "The body is for the Lord, and the Lord
for the body." "Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost, which is in you, and ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a
price; therefore, glorify God in your body, which is God's." (R. V.)

"I will put My Spirit within you" (Ez. xxxvi. 27).

"I will put My Spirit within you, and I will cause you to walk in My
statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments." "I will put My fear in your
hearts, and ye shall not turn away from Me." Oh, friend, would not that be
blessed, would not that be such a rest for you, all worn out with this
strife in your own strength? Do you not want a strong man to conquer the
strong man of self and sin? Do you not want a leader? Do you not want God
Himself to be with you, to be your occupant? Do you not want rest? Are you
not conscious of this need? Oh, this sense of being beaten back, longing,
wanting, but not accomplishing. That is what He comes to do; "Ye shall
receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you." Better than
that, "Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you." That
is the true version, and really it is immensely different from the other.
You shall not receive power yourself, so that people shall say: "How much
power that man has. You shall not have any power whatever, but you shall
receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, He having the power,
that is all."

"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child" (Matt.
xviii. 4).

You will never get a humble heart until it is born from above, from the
heart of Christ. For man has lost his own humanity and alas, too often has
a demon heart. God wants us, as Christians, to be simple, human,
approachable and childlike. The Christians that we know and love best, and
that are neare
