a storm? Walk on the waters, or sink beneath them?” I saw in a moment. I was not to spend one wasted minute fearing, doubt ing, burdened, magnifying the power of Satan. I was immediately to /declare the victory over Satan gained two thou sand years ago. I was to see it to be a present victory in this very affair, not a future one. I was to enjoy the defeat of Satan. I was to count this actual trial as “all joy” and no sorrow, and to realize that if God does allow the enemy to come in like a flood, it is always to give an opportunity for the authority of faith to be manifested by which Satan is given a bigger defeat, and the work of God a bigger advance. So from that day to the day five months later when those concerned met for the critical settlement, I enjoyed the trial, laughed the laugh of faith, bore testimony in public and private that there was this severe trial, but that the devil always makes a laughingstock of himself (Col. 2:15); for his attacks in the hands of faith become boomerangs;' he gets the defeat, and we the new blessing, as at Calvary.

Arise from your deluded con dition as if you are still fallen, still separated by sin, still weak. Realize your equipment, the mystery hid from ages and from generations: Christ in you. Declare it, as the prophets of old; “I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord.” Cease to live bound up in those old graveclothes of “judging by appear ances,” “walking by sight.” You ap pear weak, you appear to be without the presence of Christ, you appear love less, of little faith, and all the rest of it. You still live in the devil’s lies of the have-not life. But you have—all things. All is within, if Christ the Saviour is within. Burst through those bonds of feelings. Say, “Though all
