“When a soul has advanced so far on the spiritual road as to be lost to all the natural methods of communing with God; when it seeks Him no longer by meditation, images, impressions, nor by any other created ways, or representations of sense, but only by rising above them all, in the joyful communion with Him by faith and love, then it may be said to have found God of a truth, because it has truly lost itself as to all that is not God, and also as to its own self.” WayMaySaidSoulSelfSpiritualFoundLostNaturalMeditationTruth IsAnd LoveMethodImpressionRisingJoyfulRepresentationCommunionRise AboveFaith And Love Author:John of the Cross

“The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.” ThinkingMenWorldFeelsFirstsEarthSpiritualSpiritLeftHeavenBornChurchCompanyGoneWrittenHolyJudgmentAngelFlowEternityOperationsHoly SpiritRise AboveAssemblyFree SpiritGeneral Assembly Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“I believe the message in the hymn "Rise Up, O Men of God" (Hymns, no. 324) is a plea, a call, a divine invitation for us to rise above the telestial tinsel of our time; to deny ourselves of ungodliness and clothe ourselves in the mantle of holiness; to reach and stretch and grasp for that spiritual direction and sacred empowerment promised to the Lord's agents, to those charged to act in the name of our Principal, Jesus Christ; and to point the way to salvation and deliverance and peace in a world that finds itself enshrouded in darkness, a world that yearns for spiritual leadership.” MenWorldWayBelieveSpiritualJesusNamesI BelieveChristLordDarknessDivineMessagesJesus ChristEmpowermentSacredSalvationDenyAgentsOur TimeHolinessPrincipalInvitationsRise AboveDeliveranceHymnsSpiritual DirectionMan Of GodTinselSpiritual Leadership Author:Robert L.
