I
have gathered over the years – unfortunately often without noting the authors.
Page 8
- God’s Grace is
immeasurable/limitless –but your sins are measurable.
- God will not Anoint a life where
Sin is unrepented.
- Jesus is not interested in
half-hearted followers.
- Systematic vexation = persecution.
- God’s Mercy not received is like a
Christmas present unopened.
The question is not ‘will God have Mercy on you’ but ‘will you
accept what He has already given you’
- God gives His Strength as
we step out in faith – not before.
- You won’t catch fish by throwing bricks, but by
quietly spreading a net
- We can do the right thing the wrong
way – it’s a matter of where we put the emphasis.
- Laughter is the sun that drives
winter from the human heart.
- Elementary faith is not sufficient
in later stages of Christian life.
- God didn’t bring you into the
Kingdom to be blessed – but to be a blessing to Him, by being a
blessing to others.
- If you expect others to do what God
tells you to do – that’s legalism.
- When the Love of God flows through
us, we can accept the
unacceptable.
- Whatever God Calls you to do will
have doors opened by Him – but you must push them, or you’ll think
they are closed.
- Authority brings responsibility –
don’t run after it, wait for God to give it.
- Prosperity is not money – it’s how
much of Jesus is in you.
- God will always put you where you
have insufficient resources to do His Will – so you have to rely on
Him. (Francis Frangipane)
- Whatever the Lord touches He
Blesses – then breaks to use.
- God Calls us to ‘trouble the
comfortable’ as much as to ‘comfort the troubled’.
- When my wife and I got married the
priest said ‘Nitro, meet Glycerine’ – husband and wife must both die
to ‘self’. (Francis Frangipane)
- If you don’t believe God loves you,
you’ll have great difficulty hearing His Voice or receiving His Gifts.
- Jesus built His Ministry on what
the Father said, and what the Holy Spirit did.
- Pray out of the overflow of the
Holy Spirit – not out of the flesh.
- Perfectionism is one of Satan’s
favorite tools.
- You’ll often feel like quitting
just prior to receiving great Blessing.
- You are only Jesus hands, feet and
voice when you act in response to His prompting.
- Be prepared to be the lone voice in
the wilderness.
- Jesus gives a new way of life – and
the Power to live it.
- True Love hates, and stands
against, evil/wrong.
- You’ll never have real discernment
until you lay aside reasoning.
- Satan defeats us by getting us
upset over things that don’t really matter.
- Handling adversity correctly is
what qualifies you to advance.
- Grace – means your standing with
God does not depend on who you are, or what you’ve
done, but only on who He is and what He
has done.
- Change is inevitable – growth is
optional.
- The Gospel can only be preached by
those saved from sin by the atonement. (Oswald Chambers)
- The law of aerodynamics keeps
planes in the air. As long as I am in a flying plane I will fly too –
but if I stepped outside the plane the law of gravity would take
over. Similarly, if I am
trusting in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and determining to obey Him
(even if I fail sometimes) I am ‘in Christ’. If I willfully disobey him I step outside the protection
of His Blood and the law of Sin and Death take over.
- Rather let your care and wish be to
glorify God by your life here as long as he pleases, even though it be
in the midst of toil, and conflict, and suffering, and leave him to
say when "it is enough." (Spurgeon)
You only love God as much as you love His word. You only trust God as much as you trust
His Word. Your opinion of God is
the same as your opinion of His Word.
