The power of God tenderizes and changes us, not spiritual disciplines. Spiritual disciplines only position us to receive.

The Lord calls each one of His children, no matter what his occupation-lawyer, doctor, maintenance man, carpenter, accountant, athlete, musician, teacher, homeschooling mom, and so on-to have a real prayer life.

If you are too busy for prayer, you are too busy for a relationship with God.

God gives salvation to the needy, but gives the deep things of His heart to the hungry who refuse to live without them.

Don't evaluate yourself, don't evaluate others. Just keep going after it.

The reason people burn out is not because people are going hard [after God]; it's because they are working and perusing with the wrong spirit-trying to do it in the eyes of men with the wrong reasons; trying to get into a room you are already in.

God releases more of His power and presence according to the measure of our hunger for Him.
