“How can one come to possess great faith? Now listen, here is the answer to that: First, the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Faith must grow by soil, moisture, and exercise.”

Without faith, you have nothing. You cannot be saved without it. You cannot be healed without it.

Before God could bring me to this place He has broken me a thousand times.

You have to bring your mind to the Word of God and not try to bring the Word of God to your mind.

You must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to make progress with God.

God never intended His people to be ordinary or commonplace. His intentions were that they should be on fire for Him, conscious of His divine power, realizing the glory of the cross that foreshadows the crown.

To live two days in succession on the same spiritual plane is a tragedy

The plan of God for your life is that you should be held captive by His power, doing that which you in the natural world would never do, but that which you are forced to do by the power of the Holy Ghost moving through you.

Read the Word. Consume the Word until it consumes you. Believe the Word. Act on the Word.

All things are possible, only believe.

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

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.

Diversification is the only answer.

If the answer is yes, then there’s no immediate danger, no need to overreact.

TV has taken reflection out of the human condition. People didn’t use to have a ready answer for everything, whether they knew something about it or not.

The mind does most of its best thinking when we aren’t there. The answers are there in the morning.

Was Ty Cobb psychotic throughout his baseball career? The answer is yes.

What’s your brand? If you can’t answer that question about your own brand in two or three words, your brand’s in trouble.

Literature is the question minus the answer.

To whom could I put this question (with any hope of an answer)? Does being able to live without someone you loved mean you loved her less than you thought?
