“We pray when there’s nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.”

Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.

Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.

God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly.

Our Lord’s first obedience was to the will of his Father, not to the needs of men; the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father.

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift OF GOD.

Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.

God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments.

Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.

God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ; He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.

Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

Capabilities are clearly manifested only when they have been realized.

I always told myself never to have a plan B – I feel like that’s also one of the reasons I’m doing what I’m doing now because I just never really rested until I got here.

If the Sun took away your hope today, only it can bring it back tomorrow.

If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.

With enough attention, just about anything can be mastered.

You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.

When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.
