Great Quotes 25

"The foundation is Christ, and the structure must be Christ. The foundation is not our decision, our beliefs, our attainments spiritually; not our accuracy, not our works, not the measure of our knowledge, not our spiritual ability, not our measure of strength, not our mind or our will, not our activities for the Lord, and not our persistence. It is nothing of ourselves, it is Christ."

T. Austin Sparks

"In Him you have everything, and the first thing is not what you are, what you can do, or anything to do with you; it is what He is!" If only in the face of all you may see of a multitude of contradictions in your own life in weaknesses, and imperfections, and lack of attainment, you will persistently believe in Him as having it in Himself to bring you through to the end, you will go through in spite of all. We begin to take stock of ourselves, measure ourselves up, and say: "I am not this, and I am not that, and I am not something else; or else, I am this, and I am that, and all this goes against me." Nothing of all this is to the point at all. The totality of every divine requirement in us is in Christ."

Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.
Corrie Ten Boom

"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest.

"Many people are in love with Jesus, but it's a 'Jesus' they've made after their own image."

Ps. 85:6 "Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?"

"From the day of Pentecost, there has been not one great spiritual awakening in any land which has not begun in a union of prayer, though only among two or three; no such outward, upward movement has continued after such prayer meetings have declined; and it is in exact proportion to the maintenance of such joint and believing supplication and intercession that the Word of the Lord in any land or locality has had free course and been glorified." A. T. Pierson

" What is then the perfection of which man is capable while he dwells in a corruptible body? It is the complying with that kind command, "My son, give me thy heart." It is the "loving the Lord his God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his mind." This is the sum of Christian perfection: It is all comprised in that one word, Love. The first branch of it is the love of God: And as he that loves God loves his brother also, it is inseparably connected with the second: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:" Thou shalt love every man as thy own soul, as Christ loved us. "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets:" These contain the whole of Christian perfection.”

John Wesley

"Real prayer begins when we enter into such communion with Him, that the Holy Spirit can pray the will of the Father through us.”

Wade E. Taylor,

"Each of us should have much of the written Word resident within us through our "devotional” relationship to the Word of God. Then we can be quickened by the Holy Spirit to speak the Word of the Lord to those who are needy, at the time of their need. This is a practical "ministry” that often is not recognized."

Wade Taylor

"This end-time "Baptism of Fire” goes beyond the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the accompanying gifts, and has a two-fold purpose: It will burn away all that "hinders” the end-time visitation of the Lord; and it will "reveal” the Shekinah Glory of the Lord."

Wade Taylor

"Only if we completely acknowledge that what man requires today is God's life: the quickening of the spirit: will we then perceive how vain is any work performed by ourselves.”

Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man

"Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work. Many are so preoccupied with work that they allow little time for prayer. Hence they cannot cast out demons. Prayer enables us first inwardly to overcome the enemy and then outwardly to deal with him.”

Watchman Nee

"Wherever Christianity becomes popular, it is not on its way to die--it has already died. Popular Judaism slew the prophets and crucified Christ. Popular Christianity killed the Reformers, jailed the Quakers and drove John Wesley into the streets. When it comes to religion, the crowds are always wrong." ~AW Tozer

" Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation."

Charles Spurgeon

"Christ was a miracle. Every Christian is a miracle. Every answer to prayer is a miracle. Every divine illumination is a miracle. The power of Christianity in the world is a miraculous power. God help us to realise that ours is a High and Holy Calling.”

John G. Lake,

"We have run into a false theology, we have run into "churchianity" and human interpretations, and a hundred other follies, but friends, it is a perfectly lovely and refreshing thing to get back to Jesus.”

John G Lake

"The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes. It is an awful thing for me to see people who profess to be Christians lifeless, powerless, and in a place where their lives are so parallel to unbelievers’ lives that it is difficult to tell which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit.”

Smith Wigglesworth

Graham Kendrick

"Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is." -Oswald Chambers

There is a fruit of the Spirit that must accompany the gift of healing and that is longsuffering.

Is it not true that for most of us who call ourselves Christians there is no real experience? We have substituted theological ideas for an arresting encounter, we are full of religious notions, but our great weakness is that for our hearts there is no one there.
-A. W. Tozer

The seeking of the kingdom of God is the chief business of the Christian life

Jonathan Edwards

The primary reason Jesus came to earth was to inaugurate the Kingdom of God. Often, we hear that the reason Jesus came to the earth was to die on the Cross. Jesus did come to die on the Cross, but that death on the Cross was for the purpose of establishing the Kingdom of God.

John Eckhardt

I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of Christ. If anything will advance the interests of that kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only in reference to whether giving or keeping will most promote the glory1 of him to whom I owe all my hopes in time and eternity.

David Livingstone

The primary reason Jesus came to earth was to inaugurate the Kingdom of God. Often, we hear that the reason Jesus came to the earth was to die on the Cross. Jesus did come to die on the Cross, but that death on the Cross was for the purpose of establishing the Kingdom of God.

John Eckhardt

🔥 We are called to MAKE DISCIPLES who are conformed to the image of Christ and do His mighty works on the earth. It’s amazing how few understand/want this in Western Christianity. When Jesus challenged the crowds to take up their cross and truly follow Him, many walked away (John 6:66). Today, some would rather have Crowds than Christlikeness. But true effectiveness in the KINGDOM is not the size of our gatherings, but the DEPTH of our DISCIPLES. Lk. 6:40; Jn. 14:12; Rom. 8:29; 1 Jn. 2:6.

Glenn Bleakney

John Wesley Quote: "The church changes the world not by making converts but by making disciples.”

"It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong. That is never God’s view. There is only one true liberty””the liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right. Don’t get impatient with others. Remember how God dealt with you””with patience and with gentleness. But never water down the truth of God. Let it have its way and never apologize for it. Jesus said, ‘Go . . . and make disciples . . .’ (Matthew 28:19), not, ‘Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions.’” -Oswald Chambers

Each morning you wake it is to be a "going out," building in confidence on God. "Take no thought for your life....nor yet for your body" --- take no thought for the things for which you did take thought before you "went out."
........
Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you go out in surrender to Him until you are not surprised an atom at anything He does?

-----Oswald Chambers

The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.

William Booth

"The secret of Christianity is in being. It is in being a possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ.”

John G. Lake

"How can we call ourselves a church and not believe in healing and in miracles? I cannot read four pages anywhere in the Bible without encountering miracles! And the God of the bible is the same today!”

T.L. Osborn

"When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself." - Oswald Chambers

Christ did not die simply that you might be saved from a bad conscience or even to remove the stain of past failure, but to "clear the decks" for divine action.

Major W. Ian Thomas

"When religion departs from the presence and power of God, all it can offer to the people is wealth, status, and power." -Carter Conlon

"A person who can pray is the mightiest instrument Christ has in this world. A praying church is stronger than all the gates of hell. God’s decree for the glory of His Son’s kingdom is dependent on prayer for its fulfillment: ‘Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost part of the earth for thy possession’ (Psalm 2:8). God the Father gives nothing to his Son except through prayer.”

E.M Bounds

"First, let us make it very clear that any ministry, whose ENTIRE focus is on exposing the heresy of others, is in itself heresy. They sometimes talk about others as being “extra-biblical” but their entire ministry is extra-biblical because there are NO New Testament ministries in the Bible whose primary purpose was to expose others."

John Lucas

"Real spiritual growth is just this: I decrease, He increases. It is the Lord Jesus becoming more. You can test spiritual growth by that.”

By T. Austin-Sparks from: Christ - All in All

"The characteristic of Christianity lies in the fact that its source, depth, and riches are involved with the knowledge of God’s Son. It matters not how much we know of methods or doctrines or power. What really matters is the knowledge of the Son of God. Knowing God’s Son is the way, knowing God’s Son is the truth, and knowing God’s Son is the life. Our power comes from knowing His Son. All that God gives to us is His Son, not a lot of things. Hence the whole question lies in knowing God’s Son.”

Watchman Nee

"If you don't want to meet the devil in the day, meet Jesus before dawn" -C. T. Studd

I found this article on " Charisma” website several years ago.

"A Chinese Christian recently visited the United States and toured churches here. At the end of the trip he was asked what he thought about American spirituality. He answered, "I am amazed at how much the church in America can accomplish without the Holy Spirit.”

"Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.”

”” Saint Augustine

.. "True spirituality is the measure of love of God shed abroad in the heart, all the spirituals rest upon and have their rise out of love. Not power, or knowledge, or different gifts, these are not the first things, the first thing is love. That leads to the increase of God."

T. Austin Sparks

.. "True spirituality is the measure of love of God shed abroad in the heart, all the spirituals rest upon and have their rise out of love. Not power, or knowledge, or different gifts, these are not the first things, the first thing is love. That leads to the increase of God."

T. Austin Sparks

"Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.”

Watchman Nee

When I was in England, I visited George Cutting. At that time he was quite old. I talked with him for about half an hour. The clearest word that came out of his mouth was, "Our Lord needs us and we need Him."

Watchman Nee

"Beware the Prayerless Leader ”“ David Smithers
A man can not lead others where he is not willing to go himself. Therefore, beware of the prayerless church leader who no longer readily admits his own need for more of the person and power of Jesus Christ. Only a seeking, praying heart can truly encourage spiritual HUNGER in others!”
”“ David Smithers ”“

"Prayer connects us to God. Fasting disconnects us from the world.”

Vlad Savchuk

"In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting, which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of grace. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to our work is our own imagined strength; and in fasting we learn what poor, weak creatures we are - dependent on a meal of meat for the little strength which we are so apt to lean upon.” Hudson Taylor

"Even in this life, and as to temporal things, the Lord is pleased to repay those, who act for Him as stewards, and who contribute to His work or to the poor, as He may be pleased to prosper them. But how much greater is the spiritual blessing we receive, both in this life and in the world to come, if constrained by the love of Christ, we act as God's stewards, respecting that, with which He is pleased to intrust us!"

George Mueller

"I will not deny but that the best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.”

John Milton

"Satan is an accuser of the brethren, and all who engage in this work show that they are actuated by the same spirit. "

Ellen G. White

"God can only use people according to the measure that they are not trusting in themselves.”

Watchman Nee

"Much of the weakness, failure and barrenness that exist in the church today can be attributed to the emphasis that is placed on doctrine as opposed to revelation. If a person hears only doctrine and receives no light that which has been obtained, is not the living Christ.”

Watchman Nee

"I firmly believe that the moment our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and self-seeking and every thing that is contrary to God's law, the Holy Ghost will come and fill every corner of our hearts; but if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and self-seeking and pleasure and the world, there is no room for the Spirit of God; and I believe many a man is praying to God to fill him when he is full already with something else.”

Dwight L. Moody

"I can say, through the power of the Spirit that wherever God can get a people that will come together in one accord and one mind in the Word of God, the baptism of the Holy Ghost will fall upon them, like as at Cornelius' house.”

William J. Seymour

"Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.”

John Wesley

"Anything that cools my love for Christ is the world.”

”” John Wesley

"A great many people place their faith in men, and they pin their faith to other people’s doctrines and creeds…They believe what the church believes, but they do not know what the church believes.”

”“ D.L. Moody

...”revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.”

Aiden Wilson Tozer

: "The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it is not easily seen. Daily we notice little change. But, in course of time, we see that a great change has taken place. So it is with grace. Sanctification is a progressive, lifelong work (Prov 4:18). It is an amazing work of God's grace and it is a work to be prayed for (Rom 8:27)."

John Owen

"What then is holiness? Holiness is nothing but the implanting, writing and living out of the gospel in our souls "

John Owen

"To be in Christ -- that is redemption; but for Christ to be in you -- that is sanctification!”
Major W. Ian Thomas

" How very urgent it is for believers to know the reality of Christ as being our all and in all. For God has not given us many things; He gives us only Christ. Things are dead, but Christ is living. Christ must be all things to us.”

Watchman Nee - "Christ, the Sum of All Spiritual Things”

" sanctification is done through absolute surrender to the Holy Spirit, a consistent prayer life, and being transformed by the Holy Spirit into the image of God. Then through this process, Christ will be a reflection in and through the life of the believer.”

Andrew Murray

"sanctification includes two steps: regeneration and reproduction. The former is the salvation of the spirit and signifies the new birth in which one's spirit is quickened while the latter refers to the process of realizing holiness whereby one manifests the salvation of the soul.”

Watchman Nee

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

Dwight L. Moody

"The chief mark of counterfeit holiness is its lack of humility.”

Andrew Murray

The Lord made it clear that the path to fulfillment is taking up our crosses daily””living for Him and not ourselves. He told us we must humble ourselves to be exalted, and we must die to live. This is the cost of true discipleship, but it is worth the cost. - Rick Joyner

"If you and I could stand above Wales, looking at it, you would see fire breaking out here, and there, and yonder, and somewhere else, without any collusion or prearrangement. It is a Divine visitation in which God ”“ let me say this reverently ”“ in which God is saying to us: See what I can do without the things you are depending on; see what I can do in answer to a praying people; see what I can do through the simplest, who are ready to fall in line, and depend wholly and absolutely upon Me”

G Campbell Morgan (Welsh Revival)

"The type of Christian experience in the New Testament is that of personal, passionate devotion to the Person of Jesus Christ. Every other type of Christian experience, so called, is detached from the Person of Jesus. There is no regeneration, no being born again into the Kingdom in which Christ lives, but only the idea that He is our Pattern.

In the New Testament Jesus Christ is Saviour long before He is Pattern. To-day He is being despatched as the Figurehead of a religion, a mere Example. He is that, but He is infinitely more; He is salvation itself. He is the Gospel of God." -Oswald Chambers

The purpose of God and the power of God is available for every man.

G. Campbell Morgan

"Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.”

" It is because we are in Him and are united with Him that we can say that when Christ went to the cross we went there. in Him, that when Christ was crucified we too were crucified in Him. What a wonderful reality that we are in Christ!"

Watchman Nee

"Furthermore, through the believer's spirit the Holy Spirit is able to impart God's life to thirsty and dying men. However, this filling of the Holy Spirit differs from the baptism with the Holy Spirit, because the latter is for the purpose of service while the former solves the problem of life (naturally it will affect service too).”

Watchman Nee

"I have to take care not to settle on the sandbank of selfishness, but to leave all for the Lord to order it. If I then make shipwreck, it will be in the wide sea of God's love, the depths of which are as welcome to me as the surest haven. But nature fights against the thoughts of venturing forth we know not where, out of self, into unknown regions"
-Tersteegen

The Lord showed me, so that I did see clearly, that he did not dwell in these temples which men had commanded and set up, but in people's hearts... his people were his temple, and he dwelt in them.

George Fox

'And the Spirit and the Bride say 'Come' Rev.22:17.

Have you thought about 'the love of the Spirit? Have you realized that God's 'loving Spirit' says to you 'Come'? Are you conscious that if you refuse to listen to this gentlest call, you are grieving the Holy Spirit of God - vexing Him by the rebellion to which this refusal really amounts - 'resisting the Holy Ghost whose power alone can work on you the holiness without which you can never see God?

Francis Ridley Havergal, The Royal Invitation.

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.

"Religious activity void of the power of the Holy Spirit is of no concern to Satan. What he absolutely loathes is the anointing because it is the only thing that can stop him.”

Glenn Bleakney

What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use -- men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men -- men of prayer.

E. M. Bounds

"The Moravians filled all 168-hour time slots with two to three people per hour. For 24 hours a day, seven days a week, two to three people were always praying in the place of prayer. This around the clock prayer meeting went on for 110 years!"

"Moravians lived by the motto: "No one works unless someone prays.” This took the form of a corporate commitment to sustained prayer and ministry to the Lord. This prayer went on””unbroken for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of each year for over 100 years! They prayed two- by-two, around the clock.” James Goll

"My personal attitude is this: I will stand for revival, unity and prayer; I will labor to restore healing and reconciliation between God's people. Yet, if all God truly wanted was to raise up one fully yielded son--a son who would refuse to be offended, refuse to react, refuse to harbor unforgiveness regardless of those who slander and persecute--I have determined to be that person. My primary goal in all things is not revival, but to bring pleasure to Christ.”

Francis Frangipane

"We will never become holy by criticizing others, nor is anyone brought nearer to God through finding fault... Find God, and once you have Him, determine to live the rest of your life in pursuit of His glory. As you touch Him, something will come alive in you: something eternal, someone Almighty! Instead of looking down on people, you will seek to lift them up.”

Francis Frangipane

"Do you find it difficult to receive forgiveness, and to know that you stand perfectly forgiven, and righteous before the throne of Grace? If so, it is because you do not really know His heart.

Do you find it difficult to bestow forgiveness upon others, to genuinely and truly forgive another from your heart? If so, it is because you really have not seen the heart of God.”

George Warnock

"Revivals are a sovereign move of God initiated by the Holy Spirit working through consecrated men and women. A study of the Revivals in the Bible and in history reveal that all Revivals begin with a deeper appreciation for the Holiness of God and a realization of how offensive our sin must be in the sight of our Holy God."

Dr. Peter Hammond

T. Austin Sparks

"Vast multitudes of professing Christians fit into the category spoken of here. They call Jesus 'Lord,' but they practice lawlessness. They profess faith in Jesus, but have no regard for the divine law.”

Ray Comfort

"When we have the Word without the Spirit, we tend to "dry up”; if we have the Spirit without the Word, we tend to "blow up”; if we have both Spirit and Word, we tend to "grow up” and "fire up.” But when each is properly joined in common union, there is explosive power to be had.”

R. T. Kendall

"God wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is greater than the old life.”

Smith Wigglesworth

"Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ’s wounds are your healings, His agonies your repose, His conflicts your conquests, His groans your songs, His pains your ease, His shame your glory, His death your life, His sufferings your salvation.”

Matthew Henry

"People imagine that dying to self makes one miserable. But it is just the opposite. It is the refusal to die to self that makes one miserable. The more we know of death with Him, the more we shall know of His life in us, and so the more of real peace and joy.”

Roy Hession

A time will come when instead of Shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats.

You have heard it said:
"Don’t be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good.” But God says that we are to set our minds on things that are above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:2)

"The Church was never intended to be a natural and intellectual organization, but a supernatural instrumentality wholly dependent upon the direct power of God for all her efficiency, and therefore, needing to be ever separated from the arm of flesh and the strength of mere human agencies.”

A.B. Simpson, Walking in the Spirit

"I live by faith in the Son of God". I still retain my identity! I still retain my personality! This life of union with Christ is a faith union, not a merging of substance.”

T. Austin Sparks

"Unity is necessary to the outpouring of the Spirit of God. If you have 120 volts of electricity coming into your house but you have broken wiring, you may turn on the switch, but nothing works ”“ no lights come on, the stove doesn’t warm, the radio doesn’t turn on. Why? Because you have broken wiring. The power is ready to do its work…, but where there is broken wiring, there is no power. Unity is necessary among the children of God if we are going to know the flow of power…to see God do His wonders.” ~ A. W. Tozer
