Need Of Christ – Elizabeth Elliot

The older I get, the more I am aware of my desperate need of Christ Himself. I want to listen and learn and glorify Him.

– Elizabeth Elliot –

Examining Your Walk – David Wilkerson

Examining your walk with Christ means looking not so much at what you are doing, as at what you are becoming. Such a walk cannot be achieved by human effort alone. It won’t happen by self-determination, merely saying, “I am going to become that kind of believer.” Rather, it happens by the work of the Holy Spirit, through faith in his Word.

– David Wilkerson –

Praying With Precision – Charles Spurgeon

There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed

– Charles Spurgeon –

Experience Power of Prayer – Martin Luther

No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.

Great Power Is Available to us – Goulburn

The greatest old or new testament saints were on a level that is quite within our reach. The same spiritual power that enabled them to become our spiritual heroes, is also available to us.

Soul must overflow – Charles Spurgeon

Thy Soul must overflow, if thou
Another’s soul would reach,
It needs the overflow of heart
to give the lips full speech

What God Intends Prayer To Be – Rosalind Goforth

Prayer has been hedged about with too many man-made rules. I am convinced that God has intended prayer to be as simple and natural, and as constant a part of our spiritual life, as the intercourse between a child and his parent in the home. And as a large part of that intercourse between child and parent is simply asking and receiving, just so is it with us and our Heavenly Parent.

Quietly, Carefully, Deliberately Examine – George Muller

At first I was able to trust the Lord for ten dollars, then for a hundred dollars, then for a thousand dollars, and now, with the greatest ease, I could trust Him for a million dollars, if there was occasion. But first, I should quietly, carefully, deliberately examine and see whether what I was trusting for, was something in accordance with His promises in His written Word.
