prayer & fasting

Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God.”

- andrew murray

prayer

Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue. God’s voice in response to mine is its most essential part.

needs & Christ

I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need.

 - c. h. spurgeon

 

obedience

“Just as a servant knows that he must first obey his master in all things, so the surrender to an implicit and unquestionable obedience must become the essential characteristic of our lives.”

- andrew murray

only on the Lord

“When you have no helpers, see your helpers in God. When you have many helpers, see God in all your helpers. When you have nothing but God, see all in God. When you have everything, see God in everything. Under all conditions, stay your heart only on the Lord.”

- charles spurgeon

revival

“A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of obedience to God.”

- charles finney

heaven

Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.

- elisabeth elliot

tune to God

Do not have your concert first and tune your instruments afterwards. Begin the day with God.

- j. hudson taylor

unchain your Bible

Defend the Bible?  I would as soon defend a lion!  Unchain it and it will defend itself.

- c.h. spurgeon

exhausted?

“It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God’s work in our own way.” - oswald chambers
