“As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want God, it is an idol.”

The Christian is not obedient unless he is doing all in his power to send the Gospel to the heathen world.

When I cannot understand my Father’s leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful-Only wait.

I cannot understand how any man or woman can believe in the Lord’s coming and not be a missionary, or at least committed to the work of missions with every power of his being.

God’s jewels are often sent us in rough packages and by dark liveried servants, but within we find the very treasures of the King’s palace and the Bridegroom’s Love.

You must have faith in God.

One of the special marks of the Holy Ghost in the Apostolic Church was the spirit of boldness.

All earth-born hopes with time must pass away; prayer grasps eternal things; pray, always pray.

The safe place lies in obedience to God’s Word, singleness of heart and holy vigilance.

We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.

There is not a command God gives to His children for which He does not provide the enablement for obedience.

Christ rises above all things.

We must surrender ourselves so utterly that we can never own ourselves again. We must hand over self and all its rights in an eternal covenant, and give God the absolute right to own us, control us and possess us forever.

There is no wonder more supernatural and divine in the life of a believer than the mystery and ministry of prayer…the hand of the child touching the arm of the Father and moving the wheel of the universe.

Be brave. Cowards always get hurt. Brave men generally come out unharmed.

The religion of the Bible is wholly supernatural.

Have you ever learned the beautiful art of letting God take care of you and giving all your thought and strength to pray for others and for the kingdom of God? It will relieve you of a thousand cares.

You only have to believe that you can succeed, that you can be whatever your heart desires, be willing to work for it, and you can have it.

What do you want meaning for? Life is desire, not meaning.

Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.

Don’t fool yourself, my dear. You’re much worse than a bitch. You’re a saint. Which shows why saints are dangerous and undesirable.

All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire.

You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.

Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way.
