Our Assistants

ANGEL hands cast down the walls of Jericho, when the signal was given; and the same angels are sent forth still to do service for those who shall be heirs of salvation. Heb. 1:14. Our instructions are: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life.” 1 Tim. 6:12. Jesus Christ is one with us, in our flesh, a merciful and faithful High Priest, to make reconciliation for our sins, and to succor us when we are tried by mighty foes; and he delivers us by “the power of an endless life.” Heb. 2:17, 18; 7:16.
Vain imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God are cast down by the power of the eternal Spirit; and every thought is brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. That means that we may have the perfect knowledge of God, which comes only by personal experience of his powerful presence in us; for to know God is life eternal.
“He that cometh to God must believe that he is.” To know the nature and character of God, and to believe that he is,—that he is everywhere present, filling all in all,—is the one thing essential to perfect victory over every enemy,—over the carnal mind and the lust of the flesh.—Selected.
