“Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?”

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.

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.

Get to the end of yourself where you can do nothing, but where He does everything.

God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already

Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

Between God and the soul there is no between.

All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.

For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Abyss calls to abyss. It is there in the very depths that the divine impact takes place, where the abyss of our nothingness encounters the Abyss of mercy, the immensity of the all of God.

Those who pray from the heart do not think about the prayer they are saying, but about the God to whom they pray.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.
