I want the real deal whatever that means and whatever it takes to get there so I’ve been exploring...
Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking God uses only ‘special’ people the strong, the intelligent, the beautiful. We don’t think He has a place for the rest of us. We are so wrong!
Prayer is the most important activity a born-again Christian can perform. It should head your list of priorities, for certainly the world around us desperately needs prayer. Prayer will open the door for God to do a glorious work in these last days. Prayer will stem the tide of evil.
The purpose is not that you might get more of the Holy Spirit, but that the Holy Spirit might get more of you.
So live for the kingdom of God. Seek to bring glory to Jesus Christ and the Lord will use you. It is my prayer, my constant and daily prayer, that God would keep me useable.
God is more interested in what we are than in what we do. He looks for fruit; we try to produce works.
Where God guides, God provides.
As you commit your life to follow the Lord, He begins to plant His desires in your heart, then guides you according to His plan.
Wisdom is knowing what to do with what you know.
I would rather have the wrong facts and a right attitude, than right facts and a wrong attitude.
Though prayer doesn’t change God’s mind or God’s purposes, prayer does change something- It changes us.
Ritualism is nothing more than a rut and the only difference between a rut and a grave is the length and the depth.
Prayer is not an agency by which my will is to be accomplished upon the earth. The purpose of prayer is to get God’s will to be accomplished upon the earth, and so many times we ask and receive not because the motive behind our asking is really that of accomplishing my will rather than God’s will.
There are more battles won through prayer than by any other means.
Our heart is like a reservoir from which our lives flow.
Prayer does not change the purpose of God. But prayer does change the action of God.
I think it rather pathetic that so many people are looking forward to heaven to prove that their doctrinal position was correct.
We should not take the blessings of God for granted. We should always be careful to give God praise and thanksgiving for the work that he does in our lives.
There’s a difference between losing your salvation and leaving your salvation. If you lose something, you don’t know where to find it. You can’t lose your salvation because you always know where to find it; you can only leave it.
What we are really lacking today is a real hatred of evil.
