Look, don't judge Christianity by the imperfect examples that we have seen in history. Judge it by Jesus Christ.

Prayer is not an agency by which my will is to be accomplished upon the earth. The purpose of prayer is to get God's will to be accomplished upon the earth, and so many times we ask and receive not because the motive behind our asking is really that of accomplishing my will rather than God's will.

Look, don't judge Christianity by the imperfect examples that we have seen in history. Judge it by Jesus Christ.

The purpose is not that you might get more of the Holy Spirit, but that the Holy Spirit might get more of you.

As you commit your life to follow the Lord, He begins to plant His desires in your heart, then guides you according to His plan

So live for the kingdom of God. Seek to bring glory to Jesus Christ and the Lord will use you. It is my prayer, my constant and daily prayer, that God would keep me useable.

Prayer does not change the purpose of God. But prayer does change the action of God.
