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.
men saint holiness
God saved us to make us holy, not happy. Some experiences may not contribute to our happiness, but all can be made to contribute to our holiness. Vance Havner The destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness. God's one aim is the production of saints.
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.
beautiful self pits
Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
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.
prayer mean son
When a man is born from above, the life of the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished. Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible's idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.
prayer father needs
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things."Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him." Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
break-through break surprising
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.
My worth to God in public is what I am in private.
people ordinary purpose
All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.
his-love firsts holiness
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
jesus want virtue
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
sorry son thinking
We trample the blood of the Son of God underfoot if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins.
