Now, What We Want Is A Fresh Supply, A Fresh Anointing And Fresh Power, And If We Seek It, And Seek It With All Our Hearts, We Will Obtain It.

It May Be That At This Moment Every Battlement Of Heaven Is Alive With The Redeemed. There Is A Sainted Mother Watching For Her Daughter.

God Had No Children Too Weak, But A Great Many Too Strong To Make Use Of.

It Is A Good Deal Better To Have Life In Christ And God Than Any Where Else. I Would Rather Have My Life Hid With Christ In God Than Be In Eden As Adam Was. Adam Might Have Remained In Paradise For 16,000 Years, And Then Fallen, But If Ours Is Hid In Christ, How Safe!

I Prayed For Faith, And Thought That Some Day Faith Would Come Down And Strike Me Like Lightning. But Faith Did Not Seem To Come. One Day I Read In The Tenth Chapter Of Romans, 'now Faith Cometh By Hearing, And Hearing By The Word Of God'. I Had Closed My Bible, And Prayed For Faith. I Now Opened My Bible, And Began To Study, And Faith Has Been Growing Ever Since.

How Easy It Is To Work For God When We Are Filled With His Spirit! His Service Is So Sweet, So Delightful; He Is Not A Hard Master. People Talk About Their Being Overworked And Breaking Down. It Is Not So. It Is [over-worry] And Care That Wears People Out. Why Do So Many Workers Break Down? Not From Overwork, But Because There Has Been Friction Of The Machinery; There Hasn't Been Enough Of The Oil Of The Spirit. Great Engines Have Their Machinery So Arranged That Where There Is Friction There Is Oil Dropping On It All The Time. It Is A Good Thing For Christians To Have Plenty Of Oil.

In Our Prayers, We Talk To God, In Our Bible Study, God Talks To Us, And We Had Better Let God Do Most Of The Talking.

At That Moment I Shall Be More Alive Than I Am Now; I Shall Have Gone Up Higher, That Is All, Out Of This Old Clay Tenement Into A House That Is Immortal-a Body That Death Cannot Touch, That Sin Cannot Taint; A Body Fashioned Like Unto His Glorious Body.

Faith Gives Us Living Joy And Dying Rest.

Would You Be Free From The Condemnation Of The Sins That Are Past, From The Power Of The Temptations That Are To Come? Then Take Your Stand On The Rock Of Ages. Let Death, Let The Grave, Let The Judgment Come, The Victory Is Christ's And Yours Through Him.

When A Man Is Filled With The Word Of God You Cannot Keep Him Still, If A Man Has Got The Word, He Must Speak Or Die.

You Cannot Find, I Believe, A Case In The Bible Where A Man Is Converted Without God's Calling In Some Human Agency--using Some Human Instrument.

The World Knows Little Of The Works Wrought By Prayer.

I Now Opened My Bible And Began To Study, And Faith Has Been Growing Ever Since.

God Doesn't Seek For Golden Vessels, And Does Not Ask For Silver Ones, But He Must Have Clean Ones.

Every One Of Our Children Will Be Brought Into The Ark, If We Pray And Work Earnestly For Them.

Happiness Is Caused By Things That Happen Around Me, And Circumstances Will Mar It; But Joy Flows Right On Through Trouble; Joy Flows In The Night As Well As In The Day; Joy Flows Through Persecution And Opposition. It Is An Unceasing Fountain Bubbling Up In The Heart; A Secret Spring The World Can't See And Doesn't Know Anything About.

Before We Pray That God Would Fill Us, I Believe We Ought To Pray Him To Empty Us.

You Might As Well Try To Hear Without Ears Or Breathe Without Lungs, As To Try To Live A Christian Life Without The Spirit Of God In Your Heart.

If We Have Christ With Us, We Can Do All Things. Let Us Not Be Thinking How Weak We Are. Let Us Lift Up Our Eyes To Him And Think Of Him As Our Elder Brother Who Has All Power Given To Him In Heaven And On Earth. He Says, 'lo, I Am With You Alway, Even Unto The End Of The World.'

God Likes His People To Believe That There Is Nothing Too Hard For Him...we Are All The Time Limiting God's Power By Our Own Ideas. Let Us Get Our Eyes Off One Another And Fix Them Upon God. There Is Nothing To Hard For Him.

I Never Saw A Fruit-bearing Christian Who Was Not A Student Of The Bible.

I Find That Many Christians Are In Trouble About The Future; They Think They Will Not Have Grace Enough To Die By. It Is Much More Important That We Should Have Grace Enough To Live By. It Seems To Me That Death Is Of Very Little Importance In The Meantime. When The Dying Hour Comes, There Will Be Dying Grace; But You Do Not Require Dying Grace To Live By.

Christ Never Preached Any Funeral Sermons.

Many A Professing Christian Is A Stumbling-block Because His Worship Is Divided. On Sunday He Worships God; On Weekdays God Has Little Or No Place In His Thoughts.

A Holy Life Will Produce The Deepest Impression. Lighthouses Blow No Horns; They Only Shine.

At A Certain Meeting Two And A Half People Were Converted To Christ. A Friend Asked If He Meant, Two Adults And A Child. The Facts Were Just The Opposite Two Children And An Adult. When A Child Is Led To Christ, A Whole Life Is Saved!

I Believe The Religion Of Christ Covers The Whole Man. Why Shouldn't A Man Play Baseball Or Lawn-tennis? ... Don't Imagine That You Have Got To Go Into A Cave To Be Consecrated, And Stay There All Your Life. Whatever You Take Up, Take It Up With All Your Heart.

When A Man Thinks He Has Got A Good Deal Of Strength, And Is Self-confident, You May Look For His Downfall. It May Be Years Before It Comes To Light, But It Is Already Commenced.

The Trouble With A Great Many Men Is That They Spread Themselves Out Over Too Much Ground. They Fail In Everything. If They Would Only Put Their Life Into One Channel, And Keep It In, They Would Accomplish Something. They Make No Impression Because They Do A Little Work Here And A Little Work There....lay Yourselves On The Altar Of God, And Then Concentrate On Some One Work.

Whitewashing The Pump Won't Make The Water Pure.

The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death Holds No Darkness For The Child Of God. There Must Be Light, Else There Could Be No Shadow. Jesus Is The Light. He Has Overcome Death.

We Are Not Fountains Ourselves; But The Word Of God Is The True Fountain.

I Never Saw A Useful Christian Who Was Not A Student Of The Bible. If A Man Neglects His Bible, He May Pray And Ask God To Use Him In His Work; But God Cannot Make Much Use Of Him, For There Is Not Much For The Holy Ghost To Work Upon.

Prayer Does Not Mean That I Am To Bring God Down To My Thoughts And My Purposes, And Bend His Government According To My Foolish, Silly, And Sometimes Sinful Notions. Prayer Means That I Am To Be Raised Up Into Feeling, Into Union And Design With Him; That I Am To Enter Into His Counsel And Carry Out His Purpose Fully.

My Friends, Look To Christ, And Not To Yourselves. That Is What Is The Matter With A Great Many Sinners; Instead Of Looking To Christ, They Are Looking At The Bite Of Sin.

Unless The Spirit Of God Is With Us, We Cannot Expect That Our Prayers Will Be Answered.

God Has Two Thrones, On In The Highest Heavens, The Other In The Lowliest Heart.

Many Of The Bible Characters Fell Just In The Things In Which They Were Thought To Be Strongest. Moses Failed In His Humility, Abraham In His Faith, Elijah In His Courage, For One Woman Scared Him Away To That Juniper-tree; And Peter, Whose Strong Point Was Boldness, Was So Frightened By A Maid, As To Deny His Lord.

Faith Makes All Things Possible... Love Makes All Things Easy.

If I Could Relive My Life, I Would Devote My Entire Ministry To Reaching Children For God!

No Matter How Low Down You Are; No Matter What Your Disposition Has Been; You May Be Low In Your Thoughts, Words, And Actions; You May Be Selfish; Your Heart May Be Overflowing With Corruption And Wickedness; Yet Jesus Will Have Compassion Upon You. He Will Speak Comforting Words To You; Not Treat You Coldly Or Spurn You, As Perhaps Those Of Earth Would, But Will Speak Tender Words, And Words Of Love And Affection And Kindness. Just Come At Once. He Is A Faithful Friend - A Friend That Sticketh Closer Than A Brother.

Every One Ought To Study The Bible With Two Ends In View: His Own Growth In Knowledge And Grace, And Passing It On To Others. We Ought To Have Four Ears,- Two For Ourselves, And Two For Other People. My Bible Is Worth A Good Deal To Me Because I Have So Many Passages Marked That, If I Am Called Upon To Speak At Any Time, I Am Ready. We Ought To Be Prepared To Pass Around Heavenly Thoughts And Truths, Just As We Do The Coin Of The Realm.

Jesus Came From Heaven Down To Earth. He Left All Grandeur Behind Him, He Passed By Palaces And Thrones-to Be Born In A Manger! He Was Born Lowly, That He Might Raise Men Up To God. The Poor Have A Friend In Jesus. If No One Else Loves Them, He Loves Them. He Came To Give Them Liberty, To Proclaim To Them The Gospel Of God's Grace.

Spread Out Your Petition Before God, And Then Say, "thy Will, Not Mine, Be Done." The Sweetest Lesson I Have Learned In God's School Is To Let The Lord Choose For Me.

God Has Called Us To Shine, Just As Much As Daniel Was Sent Into Babylon To Shine. Let No One Say That He Cannot Shine Because He Has Not So Much Influence As Some Others May Have. What God Wants You To Do Is To Use The Influence You Have. Daniel Probably Did Not Have Much Influence Down In Babylon At First, But God Soon Gave Him More Because He Was Faithful And Used What He Had.

If A Man Just Stops To Think What He Has To Praise God For, He Will Find There Is Enough To Keep Him Singing Praises For A Week.

I Know The Bible Is Inspired Because It Inspires Me.

The Law Can Only Chase A Man To Calvary, No Further.

You Can Always Tell When A Man Is A Great Ways From God--he Is Always Talking About Himself, How Good He Is. But The Moment He Sees God By The Eye Of Faith, He Is Down On His Knees, And, Like Job, He Cries, "behold I Am Vile.

What We Want Is To Be Real. Let Us Not Appear To Be More Than We Are. Don't Let Us Put On Any Cant, Any Assumed Humility, But Let Us Be Real; That Is The Delight Of God. God Wants Us To Be Real Men And Women, And If We Profess To Be What We Are Not, God Knows All About Us. God Hates Sham.

When The Spirit Came To Moses, The Plagues Came Upon Egypt, And He Had Power To Destroy Men's Lives; When The Spirit Came Upon Elijah, Fire Came Down From Heaven; When The Spirit Came Upon Gideon, No Man Could Stand Before Him; And When It Came Upon Joshua, He Moved Around The City Of Jericho And The Whole City Fell Into His Hands; But When The Spirit Came Upon The Son Of Man, He Gave His Life; He Healed The Broken-hearted.

I Firmly Believe A Great Many Prayers Are Not Answered Because We Are Not Willing To Forgive Someone.

By The Grace Of God, I'll Be That Man.

The Best Definition I Can Find Of Faith Is The Dependence Upon The Veracity Of Another. The Bible Definition In The 11th Chapter Of Hebrews Is, 'faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For, The Evidence Of Things Not Seen.' In Other Words, Faith Says Amen To Everything That God Says. Faith Takes God Without Any Ifs, If God Says It, Faith Says I Believe It; Faith Says Amen To It.

If This World Is Going To Be Reached, I Am Convinced That It Must Be Done By Men And Women Of Average Talent.

I Went To Preaching Again. The Sermons Were Not Different; I Did Not Present Any New Truths, And Yet Hundreds Were Converted. I Would Not Now Be Placed Back Where I Was Before That Blessed Experience If You Should Give Me All The World - It Would Be As Dust In The Balance.

If A Man Gets Drunk And Goes Out And Breaks His Leg So That It Must Be Amputated, God Will Forgive Him If He Asks It, But He Will Have To Hop Around On One Leg All His Life.

Out Of 100 Men, One Will Read The Bible, The Other 99 Will Read The Christian.

I Like My Way Of Doing Things Better Than Your Way Of Not Doing Them.

God Has Nothing To Say To The Self-righteous.

Let Us Pray, And As We Pray, Let Us Make Room For Jesus In Our Hearts.

Everybody Wants To Enjoy Heaven After They Die, But They Don't Want To Be Heavenly-minded While They Live.

When God Wants To Move A Mountain, He Does Not Take A Bar Of Iron, But He Takes A Little Worm. The Fact Is, We Have Too Much Strength. We Are Not Weak Enough. It Is Not Our Strength That We Want. One Drop Of God's Strength Is Worth More Than All The World.

David Was The Last One We Would Have Chosen To Fight The Giant, But He Was Chosen Of God.

I Believe Satan Exists For Two Reasons: First, The Bible Says So, And Second, I've Done Business With Him.

Satan Is Willing To Have Us Worship Anything, However Sacred - The Bible, The Crucifix, The Church - If Only We Do Not Worship God Himself.

The Lord Gives His People Perpetual Joy When They Walk In Obedience To Him.

'faith Cometh By Hearing And Hearing By The Word Of God' (rom. 10:17). That Is Whence Faith Comes. It Is Not For Me To Sit Down And Wait For Faith To Come Stealing Over Me With A Strong Sensation, But Is For Me To Take God At His Word.

A Rule I Have Had For Years Is: To Treat The Lord Jesus Christ As A Personal Friend. His Is Not A Creed, A Mere Doctrine, But It Is He Himself We Have.

The Monument I Want After I Am Dead Is A Monument With Two Legs Going Around The World-a Saved Sinner Telling About The Salvation Of Jesus Christ.

The Difference Between Listening To A Radio Sermon And Going To Church...is Almost Like The Difference Between Calling Your Girl On The Phone And Spending An Evening With Her.

Salvation Is Worth Working For. It Is Worth A Man's Going Round The World On His Hands And Knees, Climbing Its Mountains, Crossing Its Valleys, Swimming Its Rivers, Going Through All Manner Of Hardship In Order To Attain It. But We Do Not Get It In That Way. It Is To Him Who Believes.

A Good Many Preachers Say I Am Lowering The Pulpit. I Am Glad I Am. I Am Trying To Get It Down To The Level Of Men's Hearts. If I Wanted To Hit Chicago I Would Not Put The Cannon On The Top Of This Building And Fire Into The Air. Too Many Preachers Fire Into The Air.

I Would Rather A Thousand Times Be Five Minutes At The Feet Of Christ Than Listen A Lifetime To All The Wise Men In The World.

God Will Not Accept A Divided Heart. He Must Be Absolute Monarch. There Is Not Room In Your Heart For Two Thrones.
