"It seems to me that the history of Zion is the history of God allowing her to be assailed by every force possible to prove and test her. It would have been a poor lookout for Zion if the Lord had not been in the midst of her. Look at the multitudes of Sennacherib! With the Lord there, all these forces melted away like snow. Those who go all the way with the Lord are allowed to encounter things which the average Christian never meets - principalities and powers. The others only know about the problems of gambling and drink, but those who go right on with the Lord know what it is to come into contact with the mighty spiritual forces - and the Lord allows it. But God comes and works deliverance and blessing in spite of our little faith."
