Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men. This is such a common truth that one hesitates to mention it, yet it appears to have been overlooked by the majority of Christians today.

What is of man uses manipulation to conform. What is of #God uses implantation to transform.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?

Wherever the Word comes without power its essential content is missed.

The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.
