Fullness of Faith
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water” (Hebrews 10:22).
God is the incomprehensible, the hidden One. The Holy Spirit is the secret, incomprehensible working and presence of God. Do not seek to understand everything. Draw nigh - it never says with a clear head, but with a true heart. Rest upon God to do for you far more than you understand in fullness of faith.
In fullness of faith, and not in fullness of feeling. When you come, and, gazing into the opened Holiest of All, hear I he voice of Him that dwells between the cherubim call you to come in; and as you gaze - long, indeed - to enter and to dwell there, the word comes again, draw near with a true heart!
Your answer is, Yes, Lord; with my whole heart-with that new heart Thou Thyself has given me. You make the surrender of yourself, to live only and always in His presence and for His service. The voice speaks again: Let it be today - Now, in fullness of faith. You have accepted what He offers. You have given what He asks. The great Priest over the house takes possession of your inner life, and brings you before God. And yet you wonder why you feel so little changed. You feel just like the old self you were. Now is the time to listen to the voice - in fullness of faith, not of feeling!
Remember these are all divine, spiritual mysteries of grace, to be revealed in you. Apart from feeling, without feeling, in fullness of faith, in bare, naked faith that honors God, enter in. Reckon yourself to be indeed alive to God in Christ Jesus, taken in into His presence, His love, His very heart. (Andrew Murray).
