If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account.
– Oswald Chambers –
I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to Him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
– Oswald Chambers –
A prayerless soul is a Christless soul. Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honour of a Christian.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.
– AW Pink –
We are not going to organize something for God to bless.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
We can have no power from Christ unless we live in a persuasion that we have none of our own.

[Speaking of the Holy Spirit coming upon him]
I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different; I did not present any new truths, and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world—it would be as dust in the balance.
– DL Moody –
We are saved and sanctified for God, not to be specimens in His showrooms, but for God to do with us even as he did with Jesus—make us broken bread and poured-out wine as he chooses. That is the test—not spiritual fireworks or hysterics, not fanaticism, but a blazingly holy life that confronts the horror of the world with a fierce purity—chaste physically, morally and spiritually—and this can only come about in the way it came about in the life of Our Lord.
– Oswald Chambers –
