Angels cannot preach the gospel, only beings such as Paul and you and I can preach the gospel.
If you are going on with God, the only thing that is clear to you, and the only thing God intends to be clear, is the way He deals with your own soul.
Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift.
We imagine that whatever is unpleasant is our duty! Is that anything like the spirit of our Lord, "I *delight* to do Thy will, O My God.
Prayer is the supreme activity of all that is noblest in our personality, and the essential nature of prayer is faith.
The inattentive, slovenly way we drift into the presence of God is an indication that we are not bothering to think about Him. Whenever our Lord spoke of prayer, He said, "Ask." It is impossible to ask if you do not concentrate.
The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.
God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.
Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.
One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.

Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.
We always have visions, before a thing is made real. When we realize that although the vision is real, it is not real in us, then is the time that Satan comes in with his temptations, and we are apt to say that it is no use to go on. Instead of the vision becoming real, there has come the valley of humiliation.

Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Many of us have a mental conception of what a Christian should be, and the lives of the saints become a hindrance to our concentration on God.
The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything is has to face without wavering. If we take this view, life becomes one great romance, a glorious opportunity for seeing marvelous things all the time. God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power.
A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
If I am going to know who Jesus is, I must obey Him. The majority of us don't know Jesus because we have not the remotest intention of obeying Him.
