To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.
Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Faith for my deliverance is not faith in God. Faith means, whether I am visibly delivered or not, I will stick to my belief that God is love.
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
No matter what changes God has performed in you, never rely on them. Build only on a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and on the Spirit He gives.
Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
God’s purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine in real life.
God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.
In times of prosperity we are apt to forget God; we imagine it does not matter whether we recognise Him or not. As long as we are comfortably clothed and fed and looked after, our civilisation becomes an elaborate means of ignoring God.
When the truth is preached, the Spirit of God brings each person face to face with God Himself.
Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference.
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.
Grace is the overflowing favor of God, and you can always count on it being available to draw upon as needed.
The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself.
