You will never be saved against your will; God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.

It is the burning lava of the soul that has a furnace within--a very volcano of grief and sorrow-it is that burning lava of prayer that finds its way to God. No prayer ever reaches God's heart which does not come from our hearts.

The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.

In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out-give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.

Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.

Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls.

Prayers are heard in heaven in proportion to our faith. Little faith gets very great mercies, but great faith still greater.
