A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.

Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; another's life, another's death, I stake my whole eternity.

In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously. In one single quiet hour of prayer it will often make more progress than in days of company with others. It is in the desert that the dew falls freshest and the air its purest.

A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.

All unbelief is the belief of a lie.

Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world's famine feed. Speak truly, and each word of thine Shall be a fruitful seed. Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed.

Be much alone with God, and take time to get thoroughly acquainted. Converse over everything with Him. Unburden yourself wholly -every thought, feeling, wish, plan, doubt- to Him...He wants not merely to be on good terms with you, but to be intimate.
