IMPRESSIONS - How to Tell Whether They are From Above or Below

Knapp, Martin Wells

Schmul

THIS SCHMUL PUBLISHING CO. EDITION IS NOT A SCANNED FACSIMILE OF A USED BOOK. It has been carefully typeset and proofread for accuracy and for easier reading by today’s readers. Consequently there are no odd characters or missing text. In the allegorical tradition of "Pilgrim’s Progress," this book describes the journey of the soul from the bondage of sin into the glorious green uplands of perfect love. This is a classic of Nineteenth Century holiness typological Bible interpretation. The author, the founder of God's Bible School and College, uses the history of ancient Israel’s exodus, wilderness wanderings, and the ultimate conquest of the Promised Land to illustrate salvation and entire sanctification. Carrying the analogy further, he utilizes the Babylonian Captivity as a depiction of the loss of grace, and what can be done to recover the ruined estate. From the cruel whips of the Dark Pharaoh’s taskmasters to the joy of spiritual freedom, "Out of Egypt into Canaan" resonates with hope and encouragement to holy liberty.

Scholar's Choice

THE author has written this book for the following reasons: 1. Because of the great need of light and the absence of books on this subject. 2. It is believed that some have gone over the falls of fanaticism, and that others have been greatly perplexed and hindered in their life work on account of lack of such light. 3. Some who read the two sections, which were published, declared themselves to have been greatly helped thereby. 4. God brought the subject-matter to the author's mind, laid it upon his heart, and opened the way for its writing and publication. He feels that equally with his other books, God has directed and will bless in its circulation and perusal. He also believes that with His blessing upon it, it will prove a light-house by life's sea, which will help to warn of threatening danger, and aid its readers in standing "perfect and complete in all the will of God." To whom be glory forever,

Martin Wells Knapp defines an 'Impression' as an influence on an emotion, feeling or action - these can be good, such as impressions created by God, or evil, such as those originating from Satan. This book discusses the various types of impressions, and the ways in which believers can - in the case of those holy or beneficent - receive them. Conversely, we are instructed how to avoid malevolent impressions by practicing good deeds and helping one's fellow man, while also devoting time to prayer and to reading and reflecting upon spiritual matters. Quoting Biblical scripture and the psalms, Knapp defines and distinguishes the types of impression. The effect on the human spirit, the elevation of the soul, and the feeling of spiritual fulfillment that ensues from accepting God's influence. Over time, familiarity with the various kinds of impression - be they scriptural, moral, or willed by God - results in wisdom and further such blessings. Such submission to the guidance of the Lord is not easy however: some impressions have one or more prerequisites; receptivity to guidance from the Lord, banishing all traces of the devil from your heart, and an unstinting belief in God's capacity to provide joy and peace in this life and the next are crucial requirements. The author spent his life working in the Methodist ministry, where he was active in the revivalist and holiness movements. Notably committed to God, Knapp's health suffered after he contracted typhoid fever - he continued to preach even in his hospital deathbed, departing to join the Lord at the age of forty-eight.
