Abiding
Union and Dependence Upon the Spirit – William Law
Read whatever chapter of scripture you will, and be ever so delighted with it – yet it will leave you as poor, as empty and unchanged as it found you unless it has turned you wholly and solely to the Spirit of God, and brought you into full union with and dependence upon him.
– William Law –
The Need of the Spirit – Charles Spurgeon
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else’s way; you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Be Filled with the Spirit – Dwight L. Moody
God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, and if we are not filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges.
– Dwight L. Moody –
Communion with Jesus – Charles Spurgeon
Come away to private communion. Come away, shut the doors of your chamber and talk with your Lord Jesus and have close and intimate dealing with Him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Do You Have More Faith in God or the World? – Samuel Chadwick
The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost, and things will get no better till we get back to His realized presence and power.
– Samuel Chadwick –
Why You Don’t Need to Fear Death – John Knox
Live in Christ and the flesh need not fear death.
– John Knox –
The One Secret of a Holy Life – Oswald Chambers
The one marvelous secret of a holy life lies not in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in my mortal flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you.”… Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.
– Oswald Chambers –
To Be “In the Will of God” – Oswald Chambers
To be “in the will of God” is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart. To a sanctified soul the will of God is its implicit life, as natural as breathing. It is the sick man who knows intellectually what the will of God is; but a sanctified heart is the expression of the will of God. Its motto is: “My Father can do what he likes with me, He may bless me to death, or give me a bitter cup; I delight to do His will.”
