All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them.

The early church was acclimated to the upper room; today’s cultural 
church is acclimated to the supper room. Our church dinners are 
packed, our prayer rooms are empty, but we want apostolic power. 
Apostolic power follows apostolic succession.

I have found no adventure so great or joy so full as bringing death to my own life and living in His!

While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight–I’ll fight to the very end!

Consecration is not hard for the person that has met God. This person insists on giving himself entirely to God.

When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Before the whole world, yes, before the sleepless, lukewarm, faithless, namby-pamby Christian world, we will dare to trust our God, we will venture our all for Him, we will live and we will die for Him, and we will do it with His joy unspeakable singing aloud in our hearts.

Love flows aggressively into the world through servanthood. Every time you get next to the heartbeat of God, it will spill out to the world in aggressive servanthood…. Not what we do for Him but what He does through us.

We might as well pray for God to invade and conquer us, for until he does, we remain in peril from a thousand foes. We bear within us the seeds of our own disintegration. Our moral imprudence puts us always in danger of accidental or reckless self-destruction. The strength of our flesh is an ever present danger to our souls. Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance. Then He invades our natures with that ancient and eternal life which is from the beginning. So he conquers us and by that benign conquest saves us for himself.
