The Key to Everything


Norman Percy Grubb (1895 –1993) was a missionary statesman, writer and theological teacher.
During his time as the General Secretary of Worldwide Evangelization Crusade Grubb began writing. To begin with he produced tracts and magazines for the mission, and then in 1933 he published a biography of C.T. Studd[1]. After this came a string of other books, including his autobiography Once Caught, No Escape, and The Key to Everything. Other books penned by Grubb include Continuous Revival, Rees Howells' Intercessor, God Unlimited, Who Am I?, Spontaneous You, Law of Faith, Touching the Invisible and Yes I Am.[More- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Grubb ]

The Believer as a Container for God’s Presence in the World TodayWe make self our god, not God. We just naturally run our own lives.
And that's our whole trouble.
There isn't a single problem in humanity except our self-reactions: not one.
The Devil is no trouble. He was dealt with 2,000 years ago.
Your neighbour is not your trouble.
Circumstances are not your trouble.
The only trouble is your reaction.
Distorted self, self out of gear, is our problem.
Once we know how to handle the human self and put it back where it belongs, we've found the key to life.
You Simply Receive
You've got your key to everything.
Every problem becomes an opportunity.
Every tough spot becomes a chance to enjoy the luxury of seeing Him deliver us out of it.
And you welcome such spots.

Your Other SelfThere are two selves joined in one; and the other self is Christ.
That's why it's indivisible. That's why it's ridiculous to look around or above and try to find Christ.
You don't try to find yourself, do you? Wherever you go, you are there, aren't you?
However you feel about it, you can't escape your self.
And your other self is Christ; you can't escape Him either!
