The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.

If we simply preach the effects of redemption in the human life instead of the revealed, divine truth regarding Jesus Himself, the result is not new birth in those who listen. The result is {only} a refined religious lifestyle . . . we must make sure that we are living in such harmony with God that as we proclaim His truth He can create in others those things which He alone can do.

We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.

God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.

Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

Faith must be tested, because it can be turned into a personal possession only through conflict.
