The Spirit of Prayer

[Pryr-1.2-8] Poor Sinner! consider the Treasure thou hast within Thee, the Saviour of the World, the eternal Word of God lies hid in Thee, as a Spark of the Divine Nature, which is there to overcome the Sin and Hell within Thee, and helped to generate the Life of Heaven  in thy Soul. Turn to thy Heart, and thy Heart will find its Saviour, its God within itself. Thou see, hear, and feel nothing of God, because thou seek for Him everywhere but within.  Thou seek him in Books, in Controversies, in the Church, & Commentaries but there thou wilt not find him.  No he is lost to you until thou hast first found Him in thy Heart.  Seek him there, and then thou wilt  never need to seek again, for where He dwelleth lies  the Seat of his Light and Holy Spirit. [Pryr-1.2-9] Turning to the Light and Spirit of God within Thee, is thy only true way to turn to God.  There is only one Way to find Him, and that is but in that Place where he dwelleth -- and that...

[Pryr-1.2-6] But to return.  It is manifest, that no one can fail from the Benefit of Christ's Salvation, but they can  have an unwillingness to receive it, and when they do, they fail the exact same way that the  Jews and the Musselmans [Muslims] do, Christ with Lazarus -- Simon de Vos If thou wouldst still further know, how this great Work, the Birth of Christ, is to be affected in thee, then let this joyful Truth be received within you, for then, and only then.  His great Work will have already begun in  us.  And what is that great Truth?   That our most Holy Jesus, is already in thee; this is true.  He already is your Saviour and the  Life of thy Soul.  He is there, ready  to raise thee out of the Darkness of Death and into the Light of Life.   He is ready to give thee Power to become a Son of God, and to get this, all you need to do is acknowledge Him. The eternal Word , or the Son ...

[Pryr-1.2-3] So it makes only sense to say, that  Do not all Christians desire to have Christ to be their Saviour? Yes, but here is the Deceit; they want Christ to be their Saviour in the next World , and to help them into Heaven when they die, by his Power, and Merits with God   But they are not willing for Christ to be thy Saviour now;  because his Salvation, if it is had, must be done in this Life, by changing and altering them right now and making them have a new Heart open to their life and making them like the Blind to see, the Lame to walk, and the Dumb to speak aware of their foibles and follies.   To have Salvation from Christ, is nothing else,  but to be made like Him; it is to have his Humility and Meekness, his Mortification and Self-denial, his Renunciation of the Spirit, Wisdom, and Honours of this World, his Love of God, his Desire of doing God's Will, and seeking only his Honour.  To have these attitudes ...
