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

What does it say about our churches today that God birthed the church in a prayer meeting, and prayer meetings today are almost extinct?

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

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.

I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most.

He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.

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