events answers problem
The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.
christian prayer answers
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
prayer people answers
There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us; God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
prayer answers redemption
God answers prayer on the ground of Redemption and on no other ground.
prayer trying answers
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
prayer mind answers
God does not exist to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God.
prayer track answers
Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.
prayer mind answers
We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane; the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen.
prayer silence answers
Some prayers are followed by silence (from God) because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than one can understand. It will be a wonderful moment for some of us when we stand before God and find that the prayers we clamored for in early days and imagined were never answered, have been answered in the most amazing way, and that God's silence has been the sign of the answer.
prayer silence answers
You say, "But He has not answered." He has, He is so near to you that His silence is the answer. His silence is big with terrific meaning that you cannot understand yet, but presently you will.
want way responsible
We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
believe order design
Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.
absurd certain dealt destroy face ignoring increase mind pray second seen
Certain things can only be dealt with by ignoring them; if you face them you increase their power. It is absurd to say, Pray about them; when once a thing is seen to be wrong, don't pray about it, it fixes the mind on it; never for a second brood on it, destroy it by neglect.
hurt may
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
