of the Lord. So rejoice, Sons of God, that you have been chosen by His grace for this great
work in this last hour.
The fence which kept the colts in their own meadows and their own pastures mean
nothing to the team in the harness, for the gates open to them, and they go forth pulling the
king’s carriage into many strange and wonderful places. They do not stop to eat the poison
weeds of sin, for they feed only in the Master’s stable. These fields they trample under their
feet as they go forth on the King’s business. And so to those who are brought into absolute
subjection to His will, there is no Law. For they move in the Grace of God, led only by His
Spirit where all things are lawful but not all things are expedient. This is a dangerous realm
for the undisciplined, and many have perished in sin as they leaped over the fence without
His harness and His bridle. Some have thought of themselves as being completely
harnessed and submissive to Him, only to find that in some avenue of their life there
dwelled rebellion and self-will. Let us wait before Him until He puts His noose around us
and draws us to His place of training. And let us learn of the dealings of God and the
movings of His Spirit until at last we feel His harness drop about us, and hear His voice
guiding us. Then there is safety from the traps and pitfalls of sin, and then shall we abide
in His house forever!

and maturity. Those who choose personal liberty over the confinement of a Spirit led life
will find themselves disqualified and shut out of the mighty works of God which He has
prepared beforehand for His sons. Let us apply all diligence to follow hard on the heels of
our Savior, not turning aside to the left or to the right. Let us heed the voice of the Spirit
who declares, “This is the way. Walk in it.” Then at the end of this journey we can declare
with the apostle Paul:
II Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith...
