The Knife

Jessie Penn-Lewis wrote: "Galatians 5:24 is 
also a passage which meets the case just here: "They that are Christ's have 
crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.' This is judicially the 
position of all the children of God, but it must be experimental also. For in 
this spiritual battle, unless the knife is applied to what the scriptures term 
the 'flesh,' it will always be ground for the enemy to attack, so as to weaken 
us in the conflict. The 'flesh' must be kept under the knife of the cross, for 
if there is any self-indulgence, or anything that is doubtful in your life, and 
you venture to take the aggressive against the foe, the enemy will come back on 
you, and -- fastening on that uncrucified 'ground' in you -- will press you with 
appalling power. You must have the knife of the cross steadily, persistently, 
and unbrokenly applied to the flesh; to the appetites of the flesh, to 
self-indulgence in any form, and to the pride of the flesh."

Conquest Of Canaan 

Jessie Penn-Lewis  

For  the word  of God  is quick, and powerful, and sharper than 

any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul

and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of 

the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) 

HOW SHARP IS YOUR KNIFE???!!!
