God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
So deeply planted are the roots of human corruption, that even after we are born again, renewed, “washed, sanctified, justified,” and made living members of Christ, these roots remain alive in the bottom of our hearts, and, like the leprosy in the walls of the house, we never get rid of them until the earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved. Sin, no doubt, in the believer’s heart, has no longer dominion. It is checked, controlled, mortified, and crucified by the expulsive power of the new principle of grace. The life of a believer is a life of victory, and not of failure. But the very struggles which go on within his bosom, the fight that he finds it needful to fight daily, the watchful jealousy which he is obliged to exercise over his inner man, the contest between the flesh and the spirit, the inward “groanings” which no one knows but he who has experienced them - all, all testify to the same great truth, all show the enormous power and vitality of sin. Mighty indeed must that foe be who even when crucified is still alive!
We are not saved by producing faith on our own and then making that the basis of our new birth. It is the other way around, which means that God is at the bottom of my faith; and when it disappears for a season from my own view, God may yet be there sustaining its root in the new birth and protecting the seed from destruction.
Carefully cut the poblanos (and stems) in half lengthwise and set aside.
Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet and carefully place the plantain
slices into the hot oil. Saute over medium-high heat until very dark
golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn them over and saute until
brown. Remove the plantains from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Heat the oven to 350 degree. Place the plantains in a bowl and mash with a
fork. Mix in the butter, salt and pepper. Carefully pack the mashed
plantains into the poblano chile halves with a spoon. Transfer the chiles
onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 10 minutes or until
they are heated through. These rellenos may be made ahead and stored in the
refrigerator under plastic wrap. Allow additional time for rewarming them.
