Mysticism teaches that God is in you, God is in every one, and that if you want to know God, all you have to do is concentrate on this one thing, shut out everything else, and sink into yourself. You will go through a kind of negative phase and die completely to yourself, and then you will come to the point of illumination. And so you have “the mystical way,” so called, and the various steps on the mystical way.
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, “The Christian Warfare: An Exposition of Ephesians 6:10-13,” pg.175
