“God doesn’t expect the impossible from us. He wants us to expect the impossible from Him!”

My friends, if we are going to do a great work for God, we must spend much time in prayer; we have got to be closeted with God.

God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.

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

I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.

Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.

If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.

The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.

So few grow, because so few study.

God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He’s even put a ‘No Fishing’ sign over the spot.

More depends on my walk than talk.

Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.

We need to move beyond the idea that girls can be leaders and create the expectation that they should be leaders.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.

The Church is a family expecting guests.

Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.

You never know what to expect. You don’t just walk on and expect an amazing reaction.

We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
