Thy kingdom come. Matthew 6:10. Divine answer. Behold, the kingdom of God, is within you, (and amongst you.) Luke 17:22. The kingdom of God, is not in word, but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20. Consisting in righteousness peace and joy of the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17.
O! how many thousands deceive themselves, with a vain, dead presumption of faith, moral honesty and fine words; whilst the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, still have the dominion in their hearts. Consequently the power of Christ, by which even the most beloved idol, is cast down and trod under feet, has no place in them.
O Lord, help thy children, that they may not return again to vanity; some being still entangled even in their old age. May this never be my case, I beseech thee.
The gospel bids the dead revive,
Sinners obey the voice and live:
Dry bones are raised, and clothed afresh.
And hearts of stone are turned to flesh.
This is the word of truth and love.
Sent to the nations from above;
Jehovah here resolves to show
What his almighty grace can do.
This remedy did wisdom find,
To heal diseases of the mind,
This sovereign balm, whose virtues can
Restore the ruined creature, man.
Where Satan reigned in shades of night,
The gospel strikes a heavenly light,
Our lust its wondrous power controls.
And calms the rage of angry souls.
