George Muller

"One asked George Muller the secret to his service, and he replied, 'There was a day when I died.' and as he spoke he bent lower until he touched the floor. Continuing he added, 'Died to George Muller, to his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will. Died to the world, its approval or censure. Died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends. And since then studied only to show myself approved of God."



The Heart of Man (Mark 7:14-23)

14After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:
15there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.

16["If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."]

17When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

18And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,

19because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

20And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.

21"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

22deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.

23"All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."


Jesus cleanse me from within. Don't let me go on living life without your washing of the inside of my body. I need your cleansing power!
