We don’t choose what we will do for God; He invites us to join Him where He wants to involve us.
God doesn’t want people to do what they think is best: he wants them to do what he knows is best, and no amount of reasoning and intellectualizing will discover that.
Wouldn’t it be a tragedy to get to the top of the ladder and find you placed it against the wrong wall?
Prayerless leaders are like ship captains without compasses; they can make their best guess at which direction to go, but they have no assurance they are heading the right way. Prayer keeps leaders focused on the one absolutely consistent factor in life – God.
If things are getting darker, the problem is with us.
It takes intentional effort to tune out every voice except God’s.
The truth is that God can do anything He pleases through an ordinary person who is fully dedicated to Him.
A test of your love for God is to examine your love for others.
People who make decisions based merely on what seems most advisable to them will inevitably choose something inferior to God’s best. Jesus, the ultimate model for the Christian life, did not rely on His own best thinking, but depended completely on His heavenly Father for wisdom in everything.
God is always at work around you.
Revival is when God’s people return to God and God returns to them, and everyone sees the difference.
Missions is God finding those whose hearts are right with Him and placing them where they can make a difference for His kingdom.
God’s commands are designed to guide you to life’s very best. You will not obey Him, if you do not believe Him and trust Him. You cannot believe Him if you do not love Him. You cannot love Him unless you know Him.
If you have trouble hearing God speak, you are in trouble at the very heart of your Christian experience.
Regardless of what we say, it’s what we do that reveals what we as a church or individual actually believe about God and His will for us.
Why is it that when we talk to God, it’s called ‘prayer,’ but when God speaks to us, it’s called schizophrenia?
God speaks through a variety of means. In the present God primarily speaks by the Holy Spirit, through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church.
Nothing is more pathetic than having a small character in a big assignment. Many of us don’t want to give attention to our character, we just want the big assignment from God.
All revival begins, and continues, in the prayer meeting. Some have also called prayer the “great fruit of revival.” In times of revival, thousands may be found on their knees for hours, lifting up their heartfelt cries, with thanksgiving, to heaven.
If we walk with Him closely today, we’ll be in the center of His will tomorrow.
