For the Assaulted Believer - Winslow

Keep the eye of your faith immovably fixed upon Christ’s intercession; He intercedes for weak faith, for tried faith, for tempted faith; yes, for him who thinks he has no faith. There is not a believer who is not borne upon His heart, and whose prayers and needs are not presented in His ceaseless intercession. When you deem yourself neglected and forgotten, a praying Savior in heaven is thinking of you. When you are tried and cast down, tempted and stumble, the interceding High Priest at that moment enters within the holiest, to ask on your behalf strength, consolation, and upholding grace. And when sin has wounded, when guilt distresses, and unbelief beclouds, who is it that stands in the breach, that makes intercession, that removes the darkness, and brings back the smile of a forgiving Father? The Lord Jesus, the interceding Savior.

Oh, look up, tried and assaulted believer! You have a Friend at court, an Advocate in the chancery of heaven, an Intercessor curtained within the holiest of holies, transacting all your concerns, and through whom you may have access to God with boldness.

amen brother paul. It is great to know there is such a One that cares for our every need.

Thank you again that we could hear from this mighty man of God. I was shouting a loud Hallelujah this morning after reading this and I got a much, much deeper heart knowledge of this subject and even more thankfulness and love for my, our, Lord and Savior. Again, thank you for posting.

Unfortunately, this brother is somewhat forgotten today; but he is tremendous channel of blessing for those who have discovered him. His devotions go straight to the heart and magnify Christ like no other. He had an amazing grasp of God's grace and as a believer you never come away from reading him feeling upbraided or slapped around. The evidence that a man of God is in his Spirit-authorized calling shows when you can walk away with your heart inflamed for Christ with a deeper appetite for scripture, a more profound hatred for sin, and a greater revelation of God's righteousness, grace, mercy and love toward us in Christ Jesus.

I find that Winslow does all this consistently. May we go and do likewise in our ministries and our contributions to this forum.

I found this link and if any would like, you can get his daily devotionals in your email box. Glory to God. The Lord loves us so much, He just keeps giving more and more of Himself to us. We are deeply humbled and thankful for this - for You dearest Lord. And yes, Brother Paul, we pray by God's grace that He would guide us and help us to share His love this way to others. I need Your help Dearest Lord.

Amen, brother.

This nearly moves my heart to tears as I think of how many times I have failed the Savior... and how He continues to consistently intercede on my behalf.

What an incomprehensible, indescribable, ineffable High Priest we have!
