“I am my beloved’s” (Song of Solomon vii. 10).
If you want power you must compress. It is the shutting in of the steam
that moves the engine. The amount of powder on a flat surface that sends a
ball to its destination when shut up in a gun only makes a flash. If you
want to carry the electric current you must be insulated. Stand a man on a
glass platform and turn a battery on him and he will be filled with
electricity. Let him step off the glass, and the moment he touches earth
he loses power.
We must be inclosed by His everlasting Covenant. That holds us and keeps
us from falling. He will be a wall of fire round about us. He comes
Himself and envelops us round about with the old Shekinah glory, and will
be the glory in the midst. He wants us inclosed—by a distinct act of
consecration dedicated wholly to Him. Are you inclosed by His fences, His
commandments, His promises, His covenant? Is your heart really and only
for the Lord?
If not, come to Him now and let Him separate you from all the things that
take your life, and let Him separate you unto Himself, the Life Giver.
