“I need forgiveness for my sins, but I need also deliverance from the power of sin… I appreciate the blessed fact of God’s forgiveness, but I want something more than that: I want deliverance. I need forgiveness for what I have done, but I need also deliverance from what I am.”

Outside Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full.

Victory is the normal experience of a Christian; defeat should be the abnormal experience.

Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work.

Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian’s heart; man cannot.

God not only wants to break the outer man…He wants our spirit and our soul…our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.

He who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord – including darkness, dryness, flatness – and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him.

A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.

With complete consecration comes perfect peace.

The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing. So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!

Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God as Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace.

Man’s thought is always of the punishment that will come to him if he sins. But God’s thought is always of the glory man will miss if he sins. God’s purpose for redemption is glory, glory, glory.

The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.

It is a life utterly outpoured for the kingdom of God and lived in complete disregard for one’s personal happiness.

People who are lazy, careless, doubtful-minded or arrogant need not expect God to reveal His secret or covenant to them.

An affection which is not inspired by the Lord will soon be transformed into lust.

I have received new life; because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him; nothing is because of me.
