There is nothing more precious than the blood of Jesus. Without the covering of the blood of Jesus we humans would all - without exception - be damned forever to Hell. We strive and clamor for attaining wealth and monetary security. But if we really knew - I mean really truly knew - what is most and eternally valuable we would all strive, and clamor for, and seek, and keep seeking the most precious thing in all of the universe and in all eternity - THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS. And the way to obtain the covering and eternal benefits and blessings from the Blood Of Jesus is through faith, love, and obedience to Jesus.

THE INNER CHAMBER: THE MORNING HOUR "My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up." - Ps. v. 3. From the earliest ages God's servants have thought of the morning as the time specially fitted for the worship of God. It is still regarded by all Christians both as a duty and a privilege to devote some portion of the beginning of the day to seeking retirement and fellowship with God. "Next to receiving Christ as Saviour, and claiming the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we know of no act attended with larger good to ourselves or others, than the formation of a diligent resolution to keep the morning watch, and spend the first hour of the day alone with God." At first sight the statement appears too strong. The act of receiving Christ as Saviour is one of such infinite consequences for eternity, the act of claiming the Holy Spirit is one that works such a revolution in the Christian life, that such a simple thing as the firm determination to keep the morning watch hardly appears sufficiently important to be placed next to them. If, however, we think how impossible it is to live out our daily life in Christ as our Saviour from sin, or to maintain a walk in the leading and power of the Holy Spirit, without daily, close fellowship with God, we soon shall see the truth of the sentiment. Because it simply means the fixed determination that Christ shall have the whole life, that the Holy Spirit shall in everything be fully obeyed. The morning watch is the key to the position in which the surrender to Christ and the Holy Spirit can be unceasingly and fully maintained.

Jesus has opened a school, in which He trains His redeemed ones, who especially desire it, to have power in prayer. Shall we not enter it with the petition: Lord it is just this we need to be taught O teach us to pray. Lord, teach us to pray.' Yes, us, Lord. We have read in Your Word with what power Your believing people of old used to pray, and what mighty wonders were done in answer to their prayers. And if this took place under the Old Covenant, in the time of preparation, how much more will You not now, in these days of fulfilment, give Your people this sure sign of Your presence in their midst. We have heard the promises given to Your apostles of the power of prayer in Your name, and have seen how gloriously they experienced their truth: we know for certain, they can become true to us too. We hear continually even in these days what glorious tokens of Your power Your still give to those who trust You fully. Lord These all are men of like passions with ourselves; teach us to pray so too. The promises are for us, the powers and gifts of the heavenly world are for us. O teach us to pray so that we may receive abundantly. To us too You have entrusted Your work, on our prayer too the coming of Your kingdom depends, in our prayer too You can glorify Your name; Lord teach us to pray.' Yes, us, Lord; we offer ourselves as learners; we would indeed be taught of Thee. Lord, teach us to pray.'
