The average Christian is so cold and so contented with His wretched condition that there is no vacuum of desire into which the blessed Spirit can rush in satisfying fullness.

Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.

Quoting Scripture leads you to the fountain, but only if you plunge in and come up wet will I know that you are a Christian.

For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.

Nothing bothers the devil more than a Christian delighting in God’s presence.

So, it becomes the devil's business to keep the Christian's spirit imprisoned. He knows that the believing and justified Christian has been raised up out of the grave of his sins. From that point on, Satan works that much harder to keep us bound and gagged, in our own grave clothes. He knows that if we continue in this kind of bondage...we are not much better off than when we were spiritually dead.

Our walk by faith, if it is true biblical faith, will get us in trouble.
