If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
God not only orders our steps, He orders our stops.
When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own.
The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord.
When sight ceases, it is the time for faith to work. The greater the difficulties, the easier it is for faith. As long as human possibilities for success remain, faith does not accomplish things as easily as when all natural prospects fail.
The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith.

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.
Only a life of prayer and meditation will render a vessel ready for the Master’s use.
The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. If the Holy Ghost guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
I believe God has heard my prayers. He will make it manifest in His own good time that He has heard me. I have recorded my petitions that when God has answered them, His name will be glorified.
A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.
Never give up praying until the answer comes.
Be assured that Christianity is something more than forms and creeds and ceremonies: there is life, and power, and reality, in our holy faith.
God is the author of the Bible, and only the truth it contains will lead people to true happiness.
Every instance of obedience, from right motives, strengthens us spiritually, whilst every act of disobedience weakens us.
Through faith in the Lord Jesus alone can we obtain forgiveness of our sins, and be at peace with God; but, believing in Jesus, we become, through this very faith, the children of God; have God as our Father, and may come to Him for all the temporal and spiritual blessings which we need.
The greater the trial, the sweeter the victory.
Laying up treasures in heaven will draw the heart heavenward.
I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
