If you want to enter into full fellowship with Christ in His death, and know the full deliverance from self, humble yourself….Accept every humiliation, look upon every fellowman who tries or vexes you as a means of grace to humble you….Let us gladly glory and take pleasure in weakness (2 Cor:12:9-10 [9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
[10] Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
See All...)—in all that can humble us and keep us low….We will find that the deepest humility is the secret of the truest happiness, of a joy that nothing can destroy.

Rule for Christian Living
—John Wesley
I will seek the will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. If the Holy Ghost guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
