Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of
the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life. -2 Corinthians 3
No
one will believe this who has not lived long and looked hard, so that
he knows how suddenly a passion for which has for years been wrapped
round the whole of the heart will dry up and wither. Perhaps in the
soul, as in the soil, those growths that show the brightest colours and
put forth the most overpowering smell have not always the deepest root.
Or perhaps it’s age that does it. -CS Lewis
Those
who serve God must serve him in his own way, and in his strength, or he
will never accept their service. That which man doth, unaided by divine
strength, God can never own. The mere fruits of the earth he casteth
away; he will only reap that corn, the seed of which was sown from
heaven, watered by grace, and ripened by the sun of divine love. -Charles Spurgeon
Let me ask you this: Can one demonic person change a nation for the worse? Definitely. Hitler did it in Germany, didn't he?
Then
if the devil's power resting on a man can change a nation for the
worse, you can be sure that a group of men and women with God's power
resting on them can change a nation for the better. -Kenneth Copeland
When
a truth of God is brought home to your soul, never allow it to pass
without acting on it internally in your will, not necessarily externally
in your physical life. Record it with ink and with blood— work it into
your life. The weakest saint who transacts business with Jesus Christ is
liberated the second he acts and God’s almighty power is available on
his behalf. -Oswald Chambers
Although the LORD may
not appear for us in the way we expect, or desire, or suppose, yet He
will in some way or other provide for us. It is a great blessing for us
to be raised above looking to secondary causes so that we may gaze into
the face of the great First Cause. Have we this day grace enough to make
trenches into which the divine blessing may flow? -Charles Spurgeon
If
you would see the sun, would you gather together the common means of
illumination, and seek in that way to behold the orb of day? No, the
wise man knoweth that the sun must reveal itself, and only by its own
blaze can that mighty lamp be seen. It is so with Christ. -Charles Spurgeon
