Blog Entry: The golden key, and the iron lock (William Secker, " The Consistent Christian " 1660) He who is Omniscient-- to know your needs, is also Omnipotent-- to grant your requests. "Ask, and receive--that your joy may be full." Spiritual supplication is the channel to consolation . Now none are more fruitful in divine labor --than those who are most joyful under a sense of the divine favor . Death shortens our way to heaven--but prayer sweetens our way to heaven. There never was one new -born soul--who was still -born. The prayerless soul--is a fruitless soul. The waters of life are sweet--and it is blessed to bring the vessels of prayer to these wells. It matters not, how often you carry your empty pitcher --to so full a river! Christians will never lack a praying time --if they possess a praying frame . In the morning, prayer is a golden key --to open the heart for God's service; and in the evening, prayer is an iron lock --to guard the heart against sin. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ We have completed the publishing of Secker's outstanding book, " The Consistent Christian ".
