[Integrity]

Faith is the least self-regarding of the virtues. It is by its very nature scarcely
conscious of its own existence. Like the eye which sees everything in front of it
and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and
pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God we do not see
ourselves—blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and
has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops
tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One. While he looks at
Christ the very things he has so long been trying to do will be getting done
within him. It will be God working in him to will and to do.

@Thebrownblob I remember talking to you about Jesus Is King a while back

An album was just posthumously released by DMX called Let us pray: chapter x, that is a small collection of prayers over cool beats, I think it’s worth checking out

IS THIS BLESSING FOR YOU?

I have spoken of those who suppose that the full blessing of Pentecost was only for the first Christian community. Others are willing to acknowledge that it was intended also for the church of later times but still think that all are not entitled to expect it. They might quite reasonably say, ―My unfavorable circumstances, my unfortunate disposition, my lack of real ability, and similar difficulties make it impossible for me to realize this ideal. God will not expect this of me. He has not destined me to obtain it.

Do not permit yourself to be deceived by such shallow views. All the members of a body, even to the very least, must be healthy before the body as a whole can be healthy. The indwelling, the fullness of the Spirit is the health of the entire body of Christ. Even if you are the most insignificant member of it,the blessing is for you. In this the Father makes no exceptions.

A great distinction prevails regarding gifts, callings, and circumstances. But there can be no distinction in the love of the Father and His desire to see every one of His children in full health and in the full enjoyment of the Spirit of adoption.

Learn, then, to express and to repeat over again the conviction, “This blessing is for me. My Father desires to have me filled with His Spirit.” The blessing lies before me, to be taken with my full consent. I will no longer refuse by unbelief what falls to me as my birthright. With my whole heart, I will say: ‘This blessing is for me.’”

When we lift our inward eyes to gaze upon God we are sure to meet friendly eyes gazing back at us, for it is written that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout all the earth. The sweet language of experience is "Thou God seest
me." When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in,
heaven has begun right here on this earth.
