God’s Nature

Revival is … – Leonard Ravenhill

Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows Himself.

Sensitive to the Lord’s presence – AW Tozer

Do you find your own heart sensitive to the Lord’s presence, or are you among those who are “samplers” and “nibblers”? God help you if you are, for the child of the King isn’t a sampler and a nibbler—he’s a sheep who loves his Shepherd, and he stays close to his Shepherd. That’s the only safe place for a sheep—at the Shepherd’s side, because the devil doesn’t fear sheep—he just fears the Shepherd. Your spiritual safety and well-being lies in being near to the Shepherd. Stay close to Jesus and all of the wolves in the world cannot get a tooth in you.

– AW Tozer –

The Law of God Cannot be Broken – Derek Prince

The Law of God cannot be broken. … you don’t break the law of gravity, the law of gravity breaks you.

Let nothing disturb you – Teresa of Avila

Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass away. God is unchangeable. Patience gains everything. He who clings to God wants nothing. God alone is sufficient.

– Teresa of Avila –

God uses broken things – Vance Havner

God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume . . . it is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.
