The only basis on which to work for God is an esteemed appreciation of his deliverance.

Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.

Confidence in the natural world is self-reliance; in the spiritual world, it is God-reliance.

Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him.

True intercession involves bringing the person, or the circumstance that seems to be crashing in on you, before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person or circumstance. People describe intercession by saying, "It is putting yourself in someone else’s place." That is not true! Intercession is putting yourself in God’s place; it is having His mind and His perspective.

Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.

Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master.
