If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
Be victorious in the home, and you are victorious everywhere.
A road that perhaps more than any other leads to self atrophy is undedicated money.
Faith is not merely you holding on to God- it is God holding on to you.
When Satan attacks you, command him in the Name of Jesus to bend his neck. On the back of it you’ll find there’s a nail scarred foot print!
God doesn’t have any grandchildren.
To live by worry is to live against reality.
When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.
We must continue to pursue the thought that we do not merely belong to the Kingdom – the Kingdom belongs to us.
The universe does not make sense without God.
We find, sooner or later, that in prayer we either abandon ourselves or we abandon prayer.
No person is free until he or she is free at the center. When we let go there, we are free indeed. When the self is renounced, then one stands utterly disillusioned, apart, asking for nothing. If anything comes to us, it is all sheer gain. Then life becomes one constant surprise.
To talk with God, no breath is lost. Talk on! To walk with God, no strength is lost. Walk on! To wait on God, no time is lost. Wait on!
Everybody who belongs to Christ belongs to everybody who belongs to Christ.
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.
If you don’t surrender to God, don’t think you don’t surrender. Everybody surrenders – to something.
Prayer is commitment. We don’t merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
I never said the way of Christ is easy. Are you prepared to let go of everything He would not approve?
In the pure, strong hours of the morning, when the soul of the day is at its best, lean upon the window sill of God and look into his face, and get the orders for the day. Then go out into the day with the sense of a hand upon your shoulder and not a chip.
The Sermon on the Mount seems dangerous. It challenges the whole underlying conception on which modern society is built. It would replace it by a new conception, animate it with a new motive, and turn it toward a new goal.
If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.
