Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying.

God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.

It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.

Jesus Christ out-socialists the socialists. He says that in His Kingdom he that is greatest shall be the servant of all. The real test of the saint is not preaching the gospel, but washing disciples' feet, that is, doing the things that do not count in the actual estimate of men but count everything in the estimate of God.

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.

Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
