Amen, Lord Jesus
Amen, Lord Jesus. May everyone who prepares his heart yet again to seek your face receive again that Spirit of adoption, and cry out, "Abba, Father." Let him now again have power so to believe in your name as to become a child of God, so as to know and feel that he has redemption in your blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14), and that he cannot commit sin, because he is born of God.
Let him now be begotten again to a living hope, so as to purify himself as you are pure. And because he is a son, let the Spirit of love and of glory rest upon him, cleansing him from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, and teaching him to perfect holiness in the fear of God (2 Corinthians 7:1).

6. Amen, Lord Jesus! May every one who prepareth his heart yet again to seek thy face, receive again that Spirit of adoption, and cry out, Abba, Father! Let him now again have power, so to believe in thy name, as to become a child of God; as to know and feel he hath redemption in thy blood even the forgiveness of sins, and that he cannot commit sin, because he is born of God. Let him be now begotten again unto a living hope, so as to purify himself, as thou art pure! And because he is a son, let the Spirit of love and of glory rest upon him, cleansing him from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, and teaching him to perfect holiness in the fear of God!
