We need to realize that the promises that overflow our Bibles will overflow into our own lives only as we appropriate them through prayer.

Let's forget the novelties. If we prevail in prayer, God will do only what he can do. How he does things, when he does them, and in what manner are up to him. The name of Jesus, the power of his blood, and the prayer of faith have never lost their power over the centuries.

God is more powerful than anybody's past, no matter how wretched. He can make us forget - not by erasing the memory but by taking the sting and paralyzing effect out of it

Trouble is one of God's great servants because it reminds us how much we continually need the Lord.

To be a Christian, you can’t go with the flow. You have to go by the Word of God.

I despair at the thought that my life might slip by without God showing Himself mighty in my life.

I knew God wanted to do much more...and he would, if we provided good soil in which he could work.
