We will suffer a sharp painful disullisionment before we fully surrender. When people really see themselves as the Lord sees them, it is not the terribly offensive sins of the fleshthat shock them, but the awful nature of the pride of their own hearts opposing Jesus Christ. When they see themselves in the light of the Lord, the shame, the horror, and desperate conviction hit home for them.

There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.

There is only one way by which I can get right with God, and that is through the death of Jesus Christ. I must get rid of the underlying idea that I can ever be right with God because of my obedience. Who of us could ever obey God to absolute perfection!

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

Prayer is the supreme activity of all that is noblest in our personality, and the essential nature of prayer is faith.

God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?

The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.
