CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you above self and self-pleasing in every way? Have you risen above
circumstances so that you are not influenced by them? Are you above
sickness and the evil forces around that would drag down your physical
life into the quicksands? These forces are all around and if yielded to
would quickly swamp us. God does not destroy sickness or its power to
hurt, but He lifts us above it. Are you above your feelings, moods,
emotions and states? Can you sail immovable as the starsthrough all
sorts of weather? A harp will give out sweet music or discordant sounds
as different fingers touch the strings. If the devil's hand is on your
harp strings what hideous sounds they will produce.

But let the fingers of the Lord sweep over them, and they will breathe
out celestial music.

Are you lifted above people, so that you are not bound by or to anyone
except in the Lord? Are you standing free in His glorious life? I am
risen with Christ, I am dwelling above; I am walking with Jesus below, I
am shedding the light of His glory and love Around me wherever I go.
