Excerpts from The Indwelling Life of Christ, by Major W Ian Thomas, Chapter 9;
The Holy Spirit always exposes the flesh for what it is, and there is nothing more infuriating to the carnally minded Christian than when those who are spiritually discerning remain unimpressed with him i spite of so much self-advertisement.
Consent, therefore, to die to all that you are which does not derive from all that Christ is, and thank Him for His willingness to make it real in your experience.
sometimes I'm not sure what side of that (the first sentence) i'm on...

Not that i'm a fan of his son, this quote deserves to be chewed on. It's one the hardest things to not just be stripped don't to what you really are be the Holy Spirit but to endure the pain of the cutting away of the waste and the burning of the old way within...the pruning that He does so well. It's hard to lift oneself to be crushed in order that He may be honored more, as He should be!
Good quote! Thought provoking! thanks! His Peace!
