“We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.”

To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so.

If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.

Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict.

By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!

An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.

Take this as the secret of Christ’s life in you: His Spirit dwells in your innermost spirit. Meditate on it, believe in it, and remember it until this glorious truth produces within you a holy fear and wonderment that the Holy Spirit indeed abides in you.

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.

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.

I don’t think I have the kind of creativity to write fiction.

If you have a problem with my answer that’s your problem, not my problem.

You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to be a valuable person. You become valuable because of the knowledge that you have. And that doesn’t mean you won’t fail sometimes. The important thing is to keep trying.

You must stop this interview now as I have come to end of my personality.

I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It’s the best of both worlds.

The only reason I am glad I am a woman is because I will not have to marry one.
