There Is No One Like You Lord - Reawakenings cd2

There is no one like You: Carol Sampson / CT Studd The lyrics and music of this beautiful song are by Carol Sampson, but we have prefaced it with some powerful words by CT Studd, the pioneer missionary to Central Africa. We are commissioned to extend the Kingdom of God, and to do that, we need strength, resilience and considerable determination in our spiritual warfare: qualities which Studd was clearly no stranger to. This is what the great pioneer missionary CT Studd declared about spiritual warfare a hundred and forty years ago. “When in hand-to-hand conflict with the world and the devil, neat little biblical confectionary is like shooting lions with a pea-shooter: one needs someone who will deliver blows left and right as hard as they can hit, trusting in the Holy Spirit. It’s the hot free heart not the cautious balanced approach that knocks the devil out. Nothing but forked-lightning Christians count. So long as we are empty, all is well, for then He fills us with the Holy Spirit – And the fiery baptism of the Holy Ghost changes us from soft sleek Christians into hot lively heroes for Christ, who will advance and fight and die, racing to Heaven not marking time or crawling like a slow freight train.” “Fools eliminate all talk of the devil, unable to perceive what he is doing. Others erect a tablet over his supposed grave. The wise neither underestimate nor mentally bury him, but overcome him with the sharp tools of loving God and reaching souls. I am more determined than ever that no limitations other than those our Lord Himself imposes shall be placed upon us. "To the uttermost parts." "To every creature.’" CT Studd, Cricketer and Pioneer, Norman Grubb, p. 164
