Editor's Note
Through the years of our publishing
books and articles on Austin-Sparks.Net, we have talked of wanting
to compile a
series of excerpts similar to Watchman Nee's "A Table in the
Wilderness,"
published by Mr Sparks' son-in-law, Angus Kinnear. We felt that
not only would
shorter daily excerpts be easy to digest, but they might also
inspire readers
to read a complete message or book that they may not have read
before. This
project began in January 2010 when we began to send out daily
messages to the Daily
Open Windows email list. These continue to be sent daily in email
form from
Austin-Sparks.Net.
As many of you
will be aware,
Mr Sparks was from Scotland. He, therefore, used British
spelling in his
writings; however, many transcripts of his spoken messages have
since been
published using American English. The website reflects a mixture
of both
British and American spelling, but for the sake of consistency,
all excerpts in
this book conform to American spelling and punctuation.
Due to these
daily messages
being excerpts, they are abbreviated and some have had
unnecessary words
removed, such as "here this evening...." Also, some daily
messages are a
compilation of several excerpts from one original message. This
is usually
indicated with a pause in the text: .... and a reference to the
complete source
document is always provided. You will also notice that different
versions of
the Bible have been selected for verses that precede each daily
message.
Sometimes these Scripture references appeared within the context
of the original
message, but mostly these have been chosen by the editor with,
we trust, the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.
As you look
through these
"open windows" we pray that you will not only look out and see Christ, but you will also hear
Him and open the door of your heart so that He can "eat with you
daily" (Rev.
3:20). Our desire is that these messages will not simply be
"inspiring," as
daily devotional messages often set out to achieve, but also
challenge you;
lifting your vision, opening your eyes, revealing Truth,
bringing Life and
Light, and enabling you to let go of misconceptions. Light is
not always
welcome when it first shines into the darkness that our eyes are
accustomed to.
However, Light is absolutely necessary in order to see. And so
we pray that
through these messages your eyes will be opened (Eph. 1:18) and
we will
together "see one thing – how superior is Jesus Christ to all
else!"
