You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To satisfy the sharp desire I had Of tasting those fair apples, I resolv'd  Not to defer; hunger and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2946]]></link><description><![CDATA[To satisfy the sharp desire I had Of tasting those fair apples, I resolv'd  Not to defer; hunger and thirst at once   Powerful persuaders, quicken'd at the scent    Of that alluring fruit, urged me so keen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is born to seek power, yet his actual condition makes him a slave to the power of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit is far more often a shield than a lance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit is far more often a shield than a lance]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am dead, I hope it may be said: "His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4667]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am dead, I hope it may be said: "His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does he honestly believe that his constituents would prefer to see him lounging about in the Big Brother House rather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Does he honestly believe that his constituents would prefer to see him lounging about in the Big Brother House rather than debating issues as serious as equality?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36537</guid></item></channel></rss>
