You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.
Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him.
Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.
Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God-trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.
We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, and He packs our life with surprises all the time.... Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come.
God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.
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.
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every area of life to its depth. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.
Never take your obedience as the reason God blesses you; obedience is the outcome of being rightly related to God.
God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. ... When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. ... Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world.
Faith that is sure of itself is not faith; faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.
How many people have you made homesick for God?
God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments
When you meet a man or woman who puts Jesus Christ first, knit that one to your soul.
We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane; the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen.
We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. His purpose is that I depend on HIM and in HIS power NOW. His end is the process. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God....His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the 'afterwards' of obedience. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present; if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Remember Whose you are and Whom you serve.
