“As God’s child advances spiritually be shall discover that the Lord’s time is as important as the Lord’s will. Do not rashly beget an Ishmael lest he become the greatest enemy to Isaac.”

Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.

Our prayers lay the track down which Gods power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.

Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.

I must first have the sense of God’s possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.

May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.

Oh, Lord, you have indeed been gracious to me.

With fear and trembling we must rely upon God for guidance in the inner depths. This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.

May we see the Lord in all things-way, truth, and life are all found in knowing Him. May we really meet the Son of God and let Him live in us. Amen.

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.

The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.

Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?

Everyone’s been on the “hip-hop is dead” campaign for years, and now it’s the most unsure-of-itself genre ever.

I started freestyling with friends about eight or nine years ago. I started writing also around the same time, but didn’t meet blockhead until about ’94. I started making beats not until about ’96.

Dance constitutes a true recapturing of… freedom and childish play.

People are very adamant about maintaining a certain sound or a certain era, like, “There were three years of rap that were great, so let’s just keep doing that.” The genre itself is just stuck in place. It’s been treading water for a while.

If I had interesting things to say, I would have been a speechwriter.

I’ve been able to sell records still. I want to be the guy that stands out there and says thank you personally to everyone. And I try after my shows and kick it because I want to genuinely say thanks.
