jesus son opportunity
When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus-it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.
spheres teach
We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
ifs
There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.
joy purpose born
Joy comes from seeing the complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which I was created and born again, not from successfully doing something of my own choosing.
jesus doctrine causes
Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.
jesus commitment opportunity
My unrestrained commitment of myself to God gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to grant to me the holiness of Jesus Christ.
faith religious common-sense
Be persistent with your disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord himself. Don't deify common sense.
faith inspiration wine
If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed. I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?
mould minutes five-minutes
It is not the thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is worth more than all the rest of the day.
prayer waiting trying
God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.
christian prayer alive
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
jesus prayer stupid
Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.
prayer exercise
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
dream prayer live-life
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
