The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
Most Christians pray to be blessed. Few pray to be broken.
Prayer is not an argument with God to persuade him to move things our way, but an exercise by which we are enabled by his Spirit to move ourselves his way.
How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don't even have the strength to turn off your TV?
Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
There is a world of difference between knowing the Word of God and knowing the God of the Word.
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.
Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!
If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.
In revival, God is not concerned about filling empty churches, He is concerned about filling empty hearts.
Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.
Great eagles fly alone; great lions hunt alone; great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men; they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.
If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.
A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men.
The greatest miracle that God can do today is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world, and make that man holy and put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it.
The world out there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it's waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.
Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
Someone asked me, 'Do you pray for the dead?' I said, 'No, I preach to them! I think every pew in every church is death row. Think about that! They're dead! They sing about God; they talk about God, but they're dead! They have no living relationship (with God).
The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.
Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!
The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.
There are three persons living in each of us: the one we think we are, the one other people think we are, and the one God knows we are!
