Keep as far as you can from those temptations that feed and strengthen the sins which you would overcome. Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out, by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.

You will ask me, are you satisfied? Have you got all you want? God forbid. With the deepest feeling of my soul I can say that I am satisfied with Jesus now; but there is also the consciousness of how much fuller the revelation can be of the exceeding abundance of His grace. Let us never hesitate to say, ‘This is only the beginning.’

How infinitely blessed it is to be entirely Christ’s. To think that you and I are never to have another care or another fear, but that Jesus has undertaken simply everything for us! And isn’t it grand to have the privilege of being His instruments? It does seem such loving condescension that He should use us.

I want to deliberately encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long in vain.

The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.
– DL Moody –
While often attributed to D.L. Moody, the quote was actually given by Henry Varley in a conversation he had with Moody. Several renditions of the quote have been given:
The world has not seen what God can do with a life fully yielded to Him.
The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. I aim to be that man.

We shall not get revival by filling our churches with men, but by getting the men who already come to our churches filled with God.

The mark of a life governed by the Holy Spirit is that such a life is continually and ever more and more occupied with Christ, that Christ becomes greater and greater as time goes on.
