• “How very narrow is the gate that leads to a life in God! (Mt 7:14) How little one must be to pass through it, it being nothing else but death to self! But when we have passed through it, what enlargement do we find! David said, ‘He brought me forth also in a large place’ (Ps. 18:19). And it was through humiliation and abasement that he was brought there.” – from Madame Guyon’s autobiography Ch. 22

The Realm of the Supernatural by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 08/24/11

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: We spend so much time trying to “fix” other people.

“For years I tried to change my husband. I was on him all the time.”

Nancy: I’m convinced that if we spent a fraction of that time in prayer, we’d probably see a lot more results.

“Once I started praying for my husband, then I saw a change.”

Nancy: So many of us live in the realm of the natural. We’ve only seen what our natural ability and effort can do. But the realm of the supernatural is much more important. That’s why prayer is the most effective way to approach a problem.

Maybe you’ve found yourself trying to change your coworker, your husband, or your children. Has it worked? How about letting God work on them instead?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Verse of the Day

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. — 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV)
