Faith creates nothing; it simply reckons upon that which is already there.

True religion is removed from diet and days, from garments and ceremonies, and placed where it belongs - in the union of the spirit of man with the Spirit of God.

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.

God will speak to the hearts of those who prepare themselves to hear; and conversely, those who do not so prepare themselves will hear nothing even though the Word of God is falling upon their outer ears every Sunday.

Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.

All things else being equal, our prayers are only as powerful as our lives. In the long pull we only pray as well as we live.

The Christian is strong or weak depending upon how closely he has cultivated the knowledge of God.
