Why is it that God's dear people, when confronted by an evil principle absolutely contrary to God, have so little power to deal with it? Why is it that evil lifts its head and we cannot go forth to meet it as we should in the strength of God? Is it not because we go forth without first judging ourselves; we fail to get down on our faces and ask God to search our hearts, and to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ? Only when this is done can we deal with the evil. Brethren, a man that judges himself in the presence of God is the man who can go out and conquer for God. He then is enabled to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ.
