Don’t Limit God – Andrew Murray

Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do.

– Andrew Murray –

Conquering Faith – Amy Carmichael

There is a kind of sympathy that weakens, and kind of sympathy that braces.  Which of the two we have to offer depends on how much we know of the Spirit of our Lord.  I have ceased to ask for easy ways for those I love most dearly.  I ask instead for a conquering faith, for strength and the blessing of peace.

– Amy Carmichael –

A Noble Gift – Henry Drummond

What a noble gift it is, the power of playing upon the souls and wills of men, and rousing them to lofty purposes and holy deeds.

– Henry Drummond –

When the Spirit Comes – Dwight L. Moody

When the Spirit came to Moses, the plagues came upon Egypt, and he had power to destroy men’s lives; when the Spirit came upon Elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the Spirit came upon Gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon Joshua, he moved around the city of Jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the Spirit came upon the Son of Man, He gave His life; He healed the broken-hearted.

– Dwight L. Moody –

The Solution to Confusion – Samuel Chadwick

Confusion and impotence are the inevitable results when the wisdom and resources of the world are substituted for the presence and power of the Spirit.
