THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD Part IV “Grace be unto you, and ...

"For this cause have I raised thee up and sent thee to be a light unto the
nations and thou shalt BE MY SALVATION to the ends of the earth"
(Isa. 49:6; Acts. 13:47).
When those who treasure the beautiful hope of sonship speak the
words the Spirit is speaking to the Churches in this hour, people
demand, "Who do you think you are?" When we declare that we are
called to be the manifested sons of God, to grow up into the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ, to partake of a greater ministry than

giving, you are never impoverished by pouring out all that you are and
have. There is an interesting fact in connection with the life of the great
missionary, Hudson Taylor. Hudson Taylor's brother desired above all
things to be famous and so he scorned the Christian life and scoffed at
his brother's zeal to pour out his life as a missionary among the
impoverished and ignorant heathen. He went into business and politics
to become famous. Over a century has now passed and throughout the
