When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord’s own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it- something good, but not what is best.

If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.

When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him.

The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.

Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.

Never be hurried out of the relationship of abiding in Him.

Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
