Persuasion from heaven


A man cannot expect to persuade the men of the city by going out into the desert to preach to rocks.  Who would hear him that they may understand?

And if the man himself is not persuaded, he only testifies without knowledge.  He will only persuade to the sum of what he has.

But if a man has been to the desert to be persuaded, then what he has is more than the sum of men.

Such a man will find himself driven to the city to bear what he has received.  And the strength of his persuasion will persuade.

What he has received will not be hidden.  His understanding will mark his persuasion with fire.  Without effort or false intent he will speak living words. 

Let the people of the Lord Jesus cease persuading until they have gone out into the desert to be persuaded themselves.  Let us go and receive the best of heaven.  Why waste time persuading with what is the best of men?

May the Living God grant understanding.
