My friend, you don’t get anywhere until you begin to realize that the flesh profiteth nothing and that we do not go into training in order that we may be perfected to do His work. But if we get the right kind of teaching when we’re there, we go into training to be told that we by ourselves are absolutely helpless without the power of God coming upon us.

God is revealing Himself all around us … So then, point to the glory of God; acknowledge the glory of God! Don’t say, “Look at that sunset; it is majestic.” Say, “Look at the glory of God revealed in this sunset; He is majestic!” Don’t talk about creation like you’re an atheist, Christian. Talk about creation like it’s revealing the glory of God. Point people to what God is already doing around us … God has given us ample opportunity in creation around us to point people to His glory.

We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender!
We go not forth alone against the foe;
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.

The Holy Ghost calls for crusaders … How many ministers would be in church if it were not their job? The answer will be found in the number who never go to the job that is outside.
