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

God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.

There is a call to spiritual perseverance. A call not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.

No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will.

When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

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