— John Piper

The Holy Spirit is no doubt grieved by those who rarely meditate upon, and rarely pray regarding the Lord’s appearing.
— Andrew Bonar

You must not allow yourself to get bored and stray from your assignment. Don’t let yourself wander off into something new unless God is specifically directing it. Presumptions about the will of God will get you into trouble. The enemy will try to lure you into some other activity if you let your mind get sidetracked and don’t stay focused on your last marching order.
— Mark Pfeifer

Some like to read the Bible in the Hebrew. Some in the Greek. I like to read it in the Holy Ghost.

Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.

— Derek Prince–Rules of Engagement (Chosen)

God will only take you into a conflict He’s equipped you to win.
— Bill Johnson

We must see the face of the Lord …. There are things that God says to me that I know must take place. It doesn’t matter what people say. I have been face to face with some of the most trying moments of men’s lives when it meant so much to me if I kept the vision, and if I held fast to that which God had said. A man must be in an immovable condition. The voice of God must mean to him more than what he sees, feels, or what people say.
— Smith Wigglesworth

It is a basic tenet throughout the Scriptures that God rewards diligence, faithfulness, endurance, and steadfastness.

When you have given up your life entirely to the Holy Spirit, you have no right to take it back or to resent what He does with it. … You accept everything from Him, whether it seems to be for you or against you. … When He comes in, He shows you yourself as He sees you, and He deals with the old nature, its thoughts and motives. Human reasoning and understanding belong to the old nature, which God tells us not to trust (Proverbs 3:5). You must be quiet before God for Him to show you these things.
— Rees Howells

Nothing is more important than God’s glory.
— Pastor Bill Myers

[The prayer of faith] is a prayer willing to believe and prevail for God’s answer in a situation that is utterly impossible. Regardless of the difficulty of the situation, you require no external confirmation but believe God in spite of appearance. Your eyes are on God, not on the situation.
— Wesley L. Duewel–Mighty Prevailing Prayer (Zondervan)

The greatest value in trouble comes to those who bow lowest before the throne.

Never allow the smallness of others to imprison you.
— David Cartledge

We are often hindered from giving up our treasures to the Lord out of fear for their safety; this is especially true when those treasures are loved relatives and friends. But we need have no such fears. Our Lord came not to destroy but to save. Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.
— A. W. Tozer–The Pursuit of God

A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man.
— Leonard Ravenhill

Every promise of Scripture is a writing of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: “Do as Thou hast said.” The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and, far more, the Heavenly Father will not break His word to His own child. “Remember the word unto Thy servant, on which Thou hast caused me to hope,” is most prevalent pleading. It is a double argument: “It is Thy Word, wilt Thou not keep it? Why hast Thou spoken of it if Thou wilt not make it good? Thou hast caused me to hope in it; wilt Thou disappoint the hope which Thou hast Thyself begotten in me?”
— Charles Spurgeon

I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am moved only by what I believe.
— Smith Wigglesworth

Most Christians long to see miracles, but they don’t want to be put in a position where they will need one.
— Rick Joyner

Eternity with Jesus doesn’t start when we die; it started the moment we gave Him our lives.
— Pastor Christopher Davis

When human reason has exhausted every possibility, the children can go to their Father and receive all they need. … For only when you have become utterly dependent upon prayer and faith, only when all human possibilities have been exhausted, can you begin to reckon that God will intervene and work His miracles.
— M. Basilea Schlink–Realities (Zondervan)

As we soak in God’s presence, heaven sticks to us.
— Dennis Walker

I would rather pay the price to hear God’s voice personally, regardless of how difficult the circumstances may be, than to have to settle for always hearing from Him secondhand.
— Joy Dawson–Forever Ruined for the Ordinary (Thomas Nelson Publishers)

The secret behind every godly man and woman is their belief in the truth that they have been forgiven. … Even when they say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, or have a wrong thought, they continue to be forgiveness-conscious.
— Joseph Prince

The best way to dwell in the presence of the Lord is to be a thankful person.
— Rick Joyner

You must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to make progress with God. You must refuse everything that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness.
— Smith Wigglesworth

Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
— Charles Spurgeon

Some of the folks say Jesus Christ did miracles to prove His divinity. I do not say He did not, but I say that Jesus Christ did miracles because He could not help Himself …. It was His very nature to do so. When He was in the presence of the sick ones He healed them all. He did not do it to establish His divinity, but because it was just like Him to do it. It would not have been like Him if He had not. Well, if He healed folks in those days it is logical that He does it now, because His nature has not changed …. He cannot help Himself.
— Dr. Herman B. Betten (a medical doctor who was an associate of John G. Lake)

God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
— William Booth

God’s Word does not say, “Call unto me, and you will thereby be trained into the happy art of knowing how to be denied. Ask, and you will learn sweet patience by getting nothing.” Far from it. But it is definite, clear and positive: “Ask, and it shall be given unto you.”
— E. M. Bounds

Truth is not obtained cheaply. It demands much time given to prayer and study of the Scriptures, followed by practical application in our daily lives. It must take priority over the many forms of cheap entertainment offered by our secular culture. It is a lifetime commitment.
— Derek Prince–Rules of Engagement (Chosen)

The Gospel without power is not good news at all.
— Richard Crisco

I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. … To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.
— Leonard Ravenhill

Jesus never makes promises that He can’t keep.
— Pastor Bill Myers

We ought to live every day as though we’ve come out of another world into this world — but with the power of that world still upon us. We should live and speak and move in that power, and have our whole being in Jesus Christ!
— John Wesley

A successful Christian life will not be based on how much work we have done, but rather, on how close to the Lord we have become and how obedient we have been.

The Spirit does not lead you to pray for useless goals.
— Wesley L. Duewel–Mighty Prevailing Prayer (Zondervan)

God usually brings victory in the darkness…. If you’re going through some times where it looks like devastation in your life…and things look very, very disgusting and discouraging, I want to remind you of something: Holy Spirit is right outside your door, in the dark, evaluating the situation…. Holy Spirit knows how to move in your darkness…. He’s examining and inspecting and evaluating your situation. And believe me, it might seem like God is not up to nothing; it might seem like you don’t see anything happening, but Holy Spirit is looking it over. He’s coming up with a plan, and believe me, He won’t just look it over; He’ll return and He’ll help you.
— Pastor John Kilpatrick–a sermon, Nehemiah, Portrait of the Holy Spirit

Nobody can do as much damage to the Church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.
— Charles Spurgeon

God is waiting to be put to the test by His people in prayer. He delights in being put to the test on His promises. It is His highest pleasure to answer prayer, to prove the reliability of His promises.
— E. M. Bounds

Nothing is more pathetic than having a small character in a big assignment. Many of us don’t want to give attention to our character, we just want the big assignment from God.
— Henry T. Blackaby–Experiencing God (Lifeway Press)

God is not going to let you get slaughtered.
— Pastor Bill Myers

O my Savior…teach me to pray; implant in me all the dispositions needful for the prayer of the Holy Spirit….Of what use is my prayer if the Holy Spirit does not pray with me? Come, Holy Spirit, come to dwell and work with me! Take possession of my understanding and of my will; govern my actions not only at the moment of prayer but at every moment.
— Jean Nicolas Grou

The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
— John Wesley

Because we are God’s children…we can bring our needs to him with certainty in prayer…. Prayer is not some kind of heavenly lottery. Nor does the Bible counsel us to pray with an “I hope this will work”…attitude. Instead…prayer brings us before the throne of grace as children seeking the help of their heavenly Father. That’s the heart of breakthrough, successful prayer–the bold confidence that we are talking to the Father who delights to supply our needs.
— Jim Cymbala–Breakthrough Prayer (Zondervan)

Dear God, Your will: nothing more, nothing less, nothing else!
— Bobby Richardson

Trust in God is … the belief that God is good, that He’s gracious, charitable, and on our side. All He wants is for us to put our hand in His hand and let Him guide us through life.

We are, in a sense, like distrusting, rebellious children. We’re saying, “No, no. You might make me do something I don’t want to do. You might make me go somewhere I don’t want to go. You might make me different than I may want to be.” … But the truth is that He is generous, caring, and gracious towards us. Our Father in heaven is trustworthy.

So many of us are going to have a surprise when we stand before Him that day…. We’ll discover that He had wanted to give us so much here and now but we couldn’t receive it because we had fearful expectations.
— John Wimber, excerpted from Daily Power Points, devotional available at Doin’ the Stuff

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.

Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance. It is laying hold of God’s willingness.
— Martin Luther

Prayers prayed in the Spirit never die until they accomplish God’s intended purpose. His answer may not be what we expected, or when we expected it, but God often provides much more abundantly than we could think or ask. He interprets our intent and either answers or stores up our prayers. Sincere prayers are never lost. Energy, time, love, and longing can be endowments that will never be wasted or go unrewarded.
— Wesley L. Duewel–Touch the World through Prayer (Zondervan)

I don’t often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying.
— Smith Wigglesworth

Victory is won in the spiritual realm before it is ever seen in the earthly realm.
— Pastor Bill Myers

Every time anyone looks up into the skies and sees God’s incredible handiwork, instinctively he or she knows there is a Creator, a supernatural Being at work behind it all. There is no such thing as an honest atheist.

The providence of God will not place you where His grace cannot keep you.
— Mark Buntain

Some say, “Ah, those Christians, they’re just brainwashed.” Well, if the thing needs washing, let’s wash it!

When God comes down, He removes the immovable difficulties. When God comes down, the impossible becomes reality. God moves on behalf of the one who waits.
— Author unknown

I cannot understand how God can give to any of His children glory and virtue, but it nevertheless is true that He does…. There is something about believing in God, that makes God willing to pass over a million people just to anoint you. I believe God will always turn out to meet you on a special line if you dare to believe Him.
— Smith Wigglesworth

Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
— E. M. Bounds

Spiritual vision requires that what we see with the eyes of our hearts will be more real to us than what we see with our natural eyes. We must see what is invisible to others.
— Rick Joyner–Shadows of Things to Come (Thomas Nelson Publishers)

We would be still and know that You are God…. We stand in awe of You…, Your awesome holiness, majestic splendor, blazing glory, limitless power, and unquestionable sovereignty. We worship You for Your flawless character, Your infinite knowledge and wisdom, Your absolute justice, unswerving faithfulness, unending mercy…. We bow our hearts and bend our knees before… Your dazzling beauty, Your fascinating personality, Your incomprehensible humility, Your unsearchable understanding, and Your unfathomable love. …Our greatest need is to have a far greater revelation of what You are really like. We ask You to meet that need.
— Joy Dawson–Intimate Friendship with God (Chosen Books)

— Italian proverb — Author unknown

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort, of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.
— George Eliot

Real friends are those who, when you’ve made a fool of yourself, don’t feel that you’ve done a permanent job.
