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!

                     Our Father has a work for each one of His sons in the age to come. We are prepared
               for this work as we submit that work He has entrusted to us in this present age. We must
               submit to the discipline necessary to perform our assigned task with a spirit of excellence
               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...
