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.

There are some who would have Christ cheap. They would have Him without the Cross. But the price will not come down.

The chief danger of the 20th Century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.

Prayer is self-discipline. The effort to realize the presence and power of God stretches the sinews of the soul and hardens its muscles. To pray is to grow in grace. To tarry in the presence of the King leads to new loyalty and devotion on the part of the faithful subjects. Christian character grows in the secret-place of prayer.

In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God… To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.

You must do it. With the light that is now broken in upon your mind, and the call that is now sounding in your ears, and the beckoning hands that are now before your eyes, you have no alternative. To go down among the perishing crowds is your duty. Your happiness from now on will consist in sharing their misery, your ease in sharing their pain, your crown in helping them to bear their cross, and your heaven in going into the very jaws of hell to rescue them.

– William Booth –
