“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.”

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.

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

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

No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit

Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.

God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.

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

God speaks in the language you know best – not through your ears, but through your circumstances.

Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.

Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.

No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God’s will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God’s love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

No matter who you are or what your life has been like so far, the rest of your life’s journey can be different. With God’s help you can begin again.

By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.

We have been given God in our souls and Christ in our flesh. We have the power to believe where others deny, to hope where others despair, to love where others hurt.

One can be sophisticated and believe in God. Reason and intellect are not to be laid aside where matters of religion are concerned.

You can study orchestration, you can study harmony and theory and everything else, but melodies come straight from God.
