George Fox emphasizes the importance of dwelling in the power of God, which surpasses all darkness and temptation. He encourages believers to focus on the life and strength found in God's word, which provides dominion over the tempter. By maintaining faith in God's power, individuals can overcome weaknesses and temptations, relying on God's grace as their teacher. Fox reminds his listeners that true strength comes from looking inward to God's light rather than outward to temptations. Ultimately, he reassures that God's grace is sufficient to lead and protect them from all trials.

My dear friends,—In the power of the everlasting God, which comprehends the power of darkness, and all the temptations in it, in that power of God dwell, which will keep and bring you to the word which was in the beginning [John 1:1], which will keep you up to the life, and to feed upon the same, over the power of darkness [Col 1:13]. In that ye will find strength, and feel dominion and life, and that will let you see, before the tempter was, and over him; and into that the tempter cannot come, for the power and truth he is out of [John 8:44]. And in that life dwell, in which ye will know dominion. And therefore, let your faith be in the power, and over the weakness and temptations, and look not out at them; but look in the light and power of God at the Lord's strength, which will be made perfect in your weakest state [2 Cor 12:9]. And look at the grace of God in all temptations, to bring your salvation, which is your teacher [Tit 2:11f] to teach you; for when ye look or hearken to the temptations, ye go from your teacher, the grace of God, and so are darkened [Eccl 12:3]. The grace of God is sufficient [2 Cor 12:9] in all temptations to lead out of them, and to keep over them. G. F.
