An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it is not as yet performed, knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money.

Christian Life
God Supplies All Our Needs – Elisabeth Elliot
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
Indwelling Holy Spirit – Henri Nouwen
Without Pentecost the Christ-event—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—remains imprisoned in history as something to remember, think about and reflect on. The Spirit of Jesus comes to dwell within us, so that we can become living Christs [Christians] here and now.
– Henri Nouwen –
Do we have Holy Spirit power? – Leonard Ravenhill
But have we Holy Spirit power—power that restricts the devil’s power, pulls down strongholds and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil’s dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

Lasting and satisfying joy – Walter J. Chantry
The only lasting and fully satisfying joys for any man lie on the other side of a cross.
– Walter J. Chantry –
Integrity – Chuck Colson
We must be the same person in private and in public. Only the Christian worldview gives us the basis for this kind of integrity.
– Chuck Colson –
A Life of Righteousness – Ian Thomas
The One who calls you to a life of righteousness is the One who by our consent lives that life of righteousness through you!
– Ian Thomas –
True Godliness – Major Ian Thomas
True godliness leaves the world convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the only explanation for you, is Jesus Christ to whose eternally unchanging and altogether adequate “I AM!” your heart has learned to say with unshatterable faith, “Thou art!”
– Ian Thomas –
The Gift of Pentecost – Samuel Chadwick
I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul’s safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power.
