The Work of the Bloos - Andrew Murray

Believer, the Lord Jesus has sanctified you through His own blood, and He desires that you experience through that blood the full power of this sanctification.  Endeavor to gain a clear impression of what has taken place in you through the sprinkling of that blood.  God desires to have you entirely for Himself.  No one and nothing has any longer the least right over you, nor have you any right over yourself.  God has separated you into Himself.  He has set His mark upon you.  That mark is the most wonderful thing found on earth or in heaven—it is the blood of Jesus.  The blood in which the life of the eternal Son of God is; the blood that on the throne of grace is ever before God’s face; the blood that assures you of full redemption from the power of sin.  That blood is sprinkled on you as a sign that you belong to God.

Believer, let every thought about the blood awaken in you the glorious confession, “By His own blood, the Lord Jesus has sanctified me; He has taken complete possession of me for God, and I belong entirely to God.” ~Andrew Murray, “The Blood of Christ, p. 68

Prayer - Andrew Murray

Prayer is fellowship with the Unseen and Most Holy One.  The powers of the eternal world have been placed at the prayer’s disposal.  It is the very essence of true religion and the channel of all blessings.  It is the secret of power and life, not only for ourselves but for others, for the Church and the World.  ~Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer

God rules the world and His church through the prayers of His people.  That God should have made the extension of His kingdom so dependent on the faithfulness of His people in prayer is a stupendous mystery and yet an absolute certainty.  God calls for intercessors: in His grace He has made His word dependent on them.  He waits for them.  ~Andrew Murray, “The Secret of Intercession” p22

Andrew Murray

Oh, that what remains of sin in us might become unbearable to us! May we no longer be complacent about the fact that we, as redeemed ones, sin against God’s will in so many ways. May the desire for holiness become stronger in us. Shouldn’t the thought that the blood has more power than we can comprehend, and can do for us greater things than we have yet experienced, cause our hearts to reach out for it with strong desire? If there were more desire for deliverance from sin, for holiness and intimate friendship with a holy God, it would be the first thing needful for being led further into the knowledge of what the blood can do. ~Andrew Murray, “The Blood of Christ”

God's Will

God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to him. ~Andrew Murray
