jesus prayer thinking
When we pray "in the Name of Jesus" the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
jesus men people
A practical help in keeping your personal purity unblemished in your relations with other people is to begin to see them as God does. Say to yourself, “That man or that woman is perfect in Christ Jesus! That friend or that relative is perfect in Christ Jesus!
prayer character two
The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.
glorifying-god attention limelight
It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.
religious consistency faithful
Beware of being obsessed with consistency to your own convictions instead of being devoted to God. The important consistency in a saint is not to a principle but to the divine life. It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.
soul majority changed
Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.
Faith that is sure of itself is not faith; faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.
years knowing israel
As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, forgetful delight, nor with the quickness of impulsive thoughtlessness . But let us go out with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us.
prayer views perfect
The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.
heart humility evil
The reason we see hypocrisy and fraud and unreality in others is because they are all in our own hearts. The great characteristic of a saint is humility-Yes, all those things and other evils would have been manifested in me but for the grace of God, therefore I have no right to judge.
mutiny sin
Sin is blatant mutiny against God.
waiting life-is waiting-on-god
One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
faith inspiration secret
The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
jesus sea giving
Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.
