The God I find in Christ is a God who overcomes evil with good, hate by love, and the world by a cross.
When Satan attacks you, command him in the Name of Jesus to bend his neck. On the back of it you'll find there's a nail scarred foot print!
Very often when I haven't faith in my faith, I have to have faith in His faith. He makes me believe in myself and my possibilities, when I simply can't. I have to rise to His faith in me.
I see that I am inwardly fashioned for faith and not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear and doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry my being is gasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence I breath freely - these are my native air.
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions.
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.
While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, that sails are to a ship. Nothing is hard if done for love's sweet sake. The yoke of love is easy; the yoke of duty is hard. There is all the difference in the world between being drawn by love and being driven by duty. The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery.
The only thing you believe in is the thing you believe in enough to practice. Your creed is your deed.
We grow small trying to be great.
If you don't surrender to God, don't think you don't surrender. Everybody surrenders -- to something.
Whatever we focus on determines what we become.
Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
Abundant living means abundant giving.
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.
Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.
Everybody who belongs to Christ belongs to everybody who belongs to Christ
Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver. Like produces like. Grace makes you gracious, the Giver makes you give.
A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.
The opponent strikes you on your cheek, and you strike him on the heart by your amazing spiritual audacity in turning the other cheek. You wrest the offensive from him by refusing to take his weapons, by keeping your own, and by striking him in his conscience from a higher level. He hits you physically, and you hit him spiritually.
Christ is everywhere and He is in me. What more do I want, except more of Him?
When we can sing in the face of death, we can sing in the face of anything.
To live by worry is to live against reality
I have only to be true to the highest I know - success or failure is in the hand of God.
