When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.
Do not expect God always to give you His thrilling minutes, but learn to live in the domain of drudgery by the power of God.
People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.
When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.
When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a martyr; or the blood of one man for another; it was the life of God poured out to redeem the world.
It must be God first, God second, and God third.
But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.
We look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.
We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.
Our Lord never referred to unanswered prayer; he taught that prayers are always answered. He ever implied that prayers were answered rightly because of the Heavenly Father’s wisdom.
Our Lord’s conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.
One great effect of prayer is that it enables the soul to command the body. By obedience I make my body submissive to my soul, but prayer puts my soul in command of my body.
The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience.
We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer.
The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.
The resentment of discipline of any kind will warp the whole life away from God’s purpose.
Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith; faith based on God’s revealed truth is the only faith there is.
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
You say, “But He has not answered.” He has, He is so near to you that His silence is the answer. His silence is big with terrific meaning that you cannot understand yet, but presently you will.
