Assurance remains not necessarily an inward experience but instantly revives us while we are waiting eagerly for something we diligently seek from God.I don't think comforting assurance represents merely a pleasurable feeling. We genuinely enjoy the feelings we undoubtedly provoke after meditating for an pleasant hour or two. But because of the comparative lack of experience in the extensive use of these petitions and praises we do not draw from answered prayer in the historic past. We would be reasonably assured that God was with us. 

Hence, comforting assurance is most understood as we become aware of the more considerable number of details. These specific details are carefully taught to us through divine illumination and experience. We must exercise ourselves in the extensive use of the word. The word remains the sole reality of Gods established order. The more we are aware of the profound importance of the word the more we are reasonably assured that the sacred word will always be successful.

 The word turns our natural desires upside down. We want to advance in this world through the most exceptional standards,  efficient process and excessive use of our formidable strength. The word challenges our unusual strengths like a gentle voice suppresses our desires to be strong in ourselves.We are most assured when we experience the sacred stillness of a child being weaned from mother. A satisfying infusion of dynamite power. At present then, assurance is this direct experience of the divine mystery of eternal salvation. We are taken up in a direct experience of the everlasting glory. It works as necessary time stood still, and we were one with everything in our ideal life. Whatever we were undertaking. 

How can we grow on the adverse experience of the undesirable constraints of time? In whom we respectively become a helpless slave to anxieties that inevitably come from  corrupt tension? We must build a life exercising the sacred word of eternity breaking into time. When we are mature then, we vicariously experience these past experiences in the present. Eternal things steadfastly maintain no arbitrary boundaries.
