When we see only what we want to see in the Bible, it loses all power to transform us.

Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.

No matter what I preach or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend upon our times of prayer.

I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He cannot resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him.

He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.

By not forgiving, by not letting wrongs go, we aren't getting back at anyone. We are merely punishing ourselves by barricading our own hearts.

The birth of the church was during a prayer meeting, not preaching, not singing, but prayer.

God is more powerful than anybody's past, no matter how wretched. He can make us forget - not by erasing the memory but by taking the sting and paralyzing effect out of it

Your future and mine are determined by this one thing: seeking after the Lord.

What does it say about our churches today that God birthed the church in a prayer meeting, and prayer meetings today are almost extinct?

There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.

Focus your attention on the quality of your words, and not the quantity, because few sensible talks attracts millions of listeners more than a thousand gibberish.

Don’t compromise your focus by comparing what you are trying to learn to what you already know. Focus in the moment, on what you are trying to learn now.

She hated herself more than she could express.

Love has the power to...cure, to heal, to calm, to change and to unite. Use this power often.

Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of being a Big City kid, because I grew up in a very small town up north in Canada. I have to say I just love the city lights at night.

I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.

All things change, creeds and philosophies and outward systems - but God remains.

In battle, topography is fate.

Everyone in life knows what it's like to be picked on and to feel like an outsider.
