God is looking for willing hearts… God has no favorites. You do not have to be special, but you have to be available.

Obedience
Those that God used in the past were just ordinary people with an extraordinary Master. They were not all champions of great faith, but little people who saw their own need, and put their small faith in a great God.

God does not guide those who want to run their own life. He only guides those who admit their need of His direction and rely on His wisdom.

Trust
No other work of man in any language even faintly resembles the intricate structure and design of the Bible. The fact remains – only an infinite mind could have devised this Book of books.

The Bible
The Holy Spirit is the gift of the Risen Christ. His anointing filling, empowering work is a baptism of love that gives power to make Jesus real to you and known to others.

Every day you are witnessing. What are you witnessing to? Your witness is the total package of your attitudes, character, and actions. It does not lie.

Witnessing
God has guarded His Word so that only the pure in heart can see its secrets. All other efforts will fail.

The Bible | Purity
No matter how high the powers of reason, no matter how deep the intellect, no one can discover God’s secret messages without paying the cost of true discipleship.

Preach from the rights of God rather than the needs of man.

Every Christian a missionary; every non-Christian a mission-field.

Unless you have a rock-solid commitment to truth, the Bible won’t change your life – it will only be so many words in a sea of words.

Revival brings back a holy shock to apathy and carelessness.

Revival | Apathy
The only difference in death between a Christian and one who is not is that the Christian is ready to meet Jesus. A Christian is dead already – dead to the world, but alive to Christ. Death for you as a child of God is to fall asleep in His arms and awake in the other world, alive forever beyond the power of pain, safe forever from all sickness and suffering.

To deliberately seek or glorify any form of guidance is an outright invitation to spiritual deception, we are not to seek or specify how God should speak, but only seek Him in any way that He wishes to make Himself known.

Little children are God’s ongoing witness of His kingdom: a perpetual reminder of what it means to belong to the father. Children are an unspoken sermon in every home for simplicity, joy, and humility of that which makes the world worth living in. They remind us what it means to be a real Christian.

Children
A clear conscience is absolutely essential for distinguishing between the voice of God and the voice of the enemy. Unconfessed sin is a prime reason why many do not know God’s will.
– Winkie Pratney
Conscience
Many do not recognize the call of God simply because they have never taken the time to really talk with Him long enough to know what He is like.

Prayer
Many say they can’t get God’s guidance, when they really mean they wish He would show them an easier way.
