We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.

Now is the hour we should humbly prostrate ourselves before God, willing to be convicted afresh of our sins by the Holy Spirit.

I must first have the sense of God's possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.

All knowledge is the outgrowth of obedience; everything else is just information.

When one tries to increase his knowledge by doing mental gymnastics over books without waiting upon God and looking to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, his soul is plainly in full swing. This will deplete his spiritual life. Because the fall of man was occasioned by seeking knowledge, God uses the foolishness of the cross to "destroy the wisdom of the wise.

Therefore, brethren, pray until God gives us revelation so that "knowing this" in our spirit we may truly confess "that our old man has been crucified with him."

The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
