Enjoying the Trip

"Joy, which is the small publicity of the pagan," said Chesterton, "is the gigantic secret of the Christian."

"I want to bring this to a point. Remember, dear friend, what we need is to come to decision and
action. There are in Scripture two very different sorts of Christians. The Bible speaks in Romans,
Corinthians and Galatians about yielding to the flesh; and that is the life of tens of thousands of
believers. All their lack of joy in the Holy Ghost, and their lack of the liberty He gives, is just
owing to the flesh. The Spirit is within them, but the flesh rules the life. To be led by the Spirit of
God is what they need. Would God that I could make every child of His realize what it means
that the everlasting God has given His dear Son, Christ Jesus, to watch over you every day, and
that what you have to do is to trust; and that the work of the Holy Spirit is to enable you. every
moment to remember Jesus, and to trust Him! The Spirit has come to keep the link with Him
unbroken every moment. Praise God for the Holy Ghost! We are so accustomed to think of the
Holy Spirit as a luxury, for special times, or for special ministers and men. But the Holy Spirit is
necessary for every believer, every moment of the day. Praise God you have Him, and that He
gives you the full experience of the deliverance in Christ, as He makes you free from the power
of sin."
