jesus surrender crisis
If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
spiritual world spiritual-life
Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us- and we cannot measure that at all
god sweet soul
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
jesus prayer men
Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.
wine broken saint
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
christian strong way
The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself.
jesus prayer attitude
Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural, and Jesus says, "every one that asketh receiveth."
jesus differences causes
There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause- He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.
sea air earth
Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
prayer dawn foolish
If you have ever prayed in the dawn you will ask yourself why you were so foolish as not to do it always: it is difficult to get into communion with God in the midst of the hurly-burly of the day.
break-through break surprising
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.
next trust-in-god
Trust God, and do the next thing.
valleys stuff ordinary
We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.
prayer doe fit
Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.
