The devil smiles when we make plans. He laughs when we get too busy. But he trembles when we pray especially when we pray together.

One day a smart little boy —and you know there is nothing so smart as a little boy, unless it is a little girl—said to his sister, “Can you spell water with three letters?” Of course she could not. Then he spelled it for her, i-c-e. When one gets where he can see God, he will find that every promise in the Bible is spelled v-i-c-t-o-r-y,—victory over sin, over the world, the flesh, and the devil. “Oh, Brother Kulp, I have tried everything and I am defeated.” Quit “trying everything,” and believe God. Faith is the victory.

A Christian does not fight for victory, but FROM victory.

When you see men of power and intellect using their talents against God, weep for their souls. Better they had lived and died slaves and fools, than to do the the devil’s business with their God-given abilities.
– William Gurnall –
Everything the sinner has—time, strength, intellect, and all—is spent to keep the devil on his throne.

Whatever weakens your reasoning, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes away your relish for spiritual things, in short, if anything increases the authority of the flesh over the spirit, that to you becomes sin, however good it is in itself.
– John Wesley’s Mother –
The kingdom of God is not going to advance by our churches becoming filled with men, but my men in our churches becoming filled with God.

God give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye, and then let men or devils do their worst.
