Henry Blackaby wrote the forward for the book Victory In Christ by Charles Trumbull. He said, "Years ago I read this book and my life and ministry were deeply and positively affected." I can testify to the same significance of this book in my life also. God used this work to enable me to realize the sufficiency of Christ as my life on a daily basis.
The Christian life is so complicated and confusing for so many who sincerely desire to live the abundant life. The key to the victorious life is abandonment and complete surrender to Jesus as Lord. Actually victory has already been won and must be appropriated daily by faith as we rely and rest in the Lord.
If we are interested in living on the highest plane then why not read not only this book but other Keswick sermons and books. Dr. Stephen F. Olford. and Ronald Dunn were influenced by these wonderful works. Manly Beasly and Bill Stafford were used of God to help me to understand the victory that we have and should enjoy in and through Christ.
Trumbull warns us of the perils of the Christian life. He encourages us to abide moment by moment in the Lord and live by faith in complete dependance upon Him. When the Lord lives through us, we will never be passive in life but active with the Lord. As God initiates his Word and will in us and we obey, then we enjoy the Lord as God intended for us when He created us.
I commend this book for you reading this summer. Read and become one who leads by realizing the Victory that you have in Christ. If you are interested in this book or any other of the books that I have recommended in the past month please go to our Ebay page and purchase them Remember the purchases of these books will help Life out of Death Ministries get the message of New Testament revival to the ends of the earth. Also if you are interested in hearing expositional verse by verse preaching I encourage you to download my podcast. Right now we are digging into the book of Habakkuk. I pray you are encouraged and remember "Readers are Leaders!!"
