“There are two sides to this Baptism: The first is, you possess the Spirit; The second is that the Spirit possesses you.”

Life comes after you have been filled with the Holy Spirit. Get down and pray for power.

I never get out of bed in the morning without having communion with God in the Spirit.

It doesn’t matter what people say. I have been face to face with some of the most trying moments of men’s lives when it meant so much to me if I kept the vision, and if I held fast to that which God had said. A man must be in an immovable condition.

Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.

Great faith is the product of great fights.

There is something about believing in God, that makes God willing to pass over a million people just to anoint you. I believe God will always turn out to meet you on a special line if you dare to believe Him.

I believe that God wants to put His hand upon us so that we may reach ideal definitions of humility, of human helplessness, of human insufficiency, until we will rest no more upon human plans, but have God’s thoughts, God’s voice, and the Holy Spirit to speak to us.

By the grace of God I want to impart the Word, and bring you into a place where you will dare to act upon the plan of the Word, to so breathe life by the power of the Word that it is impossible for you to go on under any circumstances without his provision.

The man who is going through with God to be used in healing must be a man of longsuffering.

The devil knows if he can capture your thought life he has won a mighty victory over you.

I can’t understand God by feelings. I can’t understand the Lord Jesus Christ by feelings. I can only understand God the Father and Jesus Christ by what the Word says about them. God is everything the Word says He is. We need to get acquainted with Him through the Word.

God longs intensively for unhindered communication and total response between him and the believer indwelt by the Holy Spirit

I’m a thousand times bigger on the inside than I am on the outside.

If the spirit does not move me, I move the Spirit.

A man is in a great place when he has no one to turn to but God.

Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.

I settled down in the full persuasion, that the immersion of a professing believer in Christ is the only Christian baptism.

After many painful trials, which none can know,

The rituals we use for marriage, baptism or inaugurating a president are as elaborate as they are because we associate the ritual with a major life passage, the crossing of a critical threshold, or in other words, with transformation.

Rituals, anthropologists will tell us, are about transformation.

I called it a baptism in flaming ink that forced me to shed my shyness about recognizing myself

As a poet and to accept the fact that life had never given me any choice in the matter. And then I had to discover exactly what that meant.

Oh! for this baptism of fire! when every spoken word for Jesus shall be a thunderbolt, and every prayer shall bring forth a mighty flood.
