SOME SECRETS

The secret of our joy now is, that He gets Himself His right place in our hearts—J. N. Darby, Coll. Wrtgs., Vol. 21, p.160.

“Without me ye can do nothing”. Neglect of this is the secret of all the failure. It is the cause in every instance … This is the only secret of power—to see Christ taken up—J. B. Stoney, N.S. Vol. 7, p.279

The point in coming into the holiest is that we enter into the secret of God—all that which God intends to display in Christ—the length, and breadth, and depth, and height of that system in which God will be glorified—F. E. Raven, N.S. Vol. 20, p.249

A man who prays has power with God, and if with God he will have power with men, so that to preach with power you must pray. We should be much humbled if we do not influence men. If you have not power with the saints, the secret is that you do not pray, because if you have power with God you will have power with men J. Taylor, N.S. Vol. 5, p.403

“Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes”. I am persuaded, dear brethren, that the secret of all failure lies in the assumption of wisdom and prudence on natural lines. That there is wisdom and prudence with the people of God, it is true, but not of a human kind, and the assumption of light is the secret of failure in the assemblies’ history—J. Taylor N.S. Vol. 12. p.134
