• If you believe what you like in the Word of God, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the word of God you believe, but yourself (your desire). • The grace of God you will enjoy is not by works; it is revealed to the humble and hidden from the proud. It is not that you keep His commandments first, and then He loves; but He loves us, and then we keep His commandments. • The Holy Scripture contains the ‘documented Will’ from the father in heaven to His children on earth, the tricks of the adversary against His children and the purpose for His children on earth; they are letters from home. Study it at all times!

• God is orderly and decent. He wants you to come now, for now is the acceptable time. Your adversary, the devil, wants you to procrastinate, but God has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination. • If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don’t accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend. • Pray as though everything depends on God, work as though everything depends on you. • Faith is to believe what you do not see or feel; the reward of this faith is to see and feel what you have believed.

• Although God created you without your consent, however, He will not save you without your consent. (You must invite Him into your life before He takes control) • If you wish to rise, then begin with a solid foundation. If you must plan to build a tower that will pierce the clouds, you must have a very strong foundation.

• The Lord is not compelled (and will not be forced by any need) to use theologians alone. He can use any person that is willing; He can even take horses, snakes, sticks or anything else, and use them for the advancement of His cause. • Your reputation is what people say about you. Your character is what God and your wife know about you. Build a good character, is better than Gold. • Going to church does not make a man a Christian, any more than going to a garage makes him an automobile. You must understand that Christianity means a lot more than church membership. • If you don’t do your part, don’t ever blame God when you fail. Some people think that they have to look like hedgehog to be pious. No. What makes you pious is your consistency in obeying the Word of God. A Collection of Classic Quotes

The word of God will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand. However, the inconsistency is not in the Word of God but in your life. ********************** It is not necessary to be in a big or right place to do big or right thing, you can start where you are. ********************** We have God who delights in doing the impossibilities, if you can believe His Words for your life. ********************** Unless you have made a complete surrender by doing His Will, it will avail you nothing if you have reformed a thousand times and have your name on fifty church records. ********************** It is not necessary to be in a big place to do big things; it is not necessary to be in a right place to do a right thing. Whatever you are, or believe, you will do at anytime and in any location. A Collection of Classic Quotes

Great truths that are stumbling blocks to the natural man are nevertheless the very foundation upon which the confidence of the spiritual man is built. ********************** God is looking for broken men who have judged themselves in the light of the Word. When He wants anything done, He takes up people who have come to the end of themselves, whose confidence is not only in their abilities, but also in God’s. **********************
Real worship is of and from the heart and not in the lips, songs and language poetry. **********************

We need to realize that all things our first duty and responsibility is to find out what the will of God, what His Word says, not what our senses or reasonings dictate. ********************** Faith is to rest not in the beauty of your desires and the best of God’s servants, but in His unchanging Word. ********************** Confusion will continue to persist with a man whose lips and actions are not in agreement. ********************** The gospel is not the Bible; not the Commandments; not repentance; not giving up the world; not comparative religion. It is the Word of God through the Holy Spirit that abides within you daily. ********************** The greatest mistake any Christian can make is to substitute his own will for the will of God. **********************

There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God. ********************** If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them. Holy Spirit does not confirm feelings or reasonings, He confirms the Word of God. **********************
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith; and the beginning of a word-filled faith is the end of anxiety and worry. **********************

Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. Never! ********************** If you don’t patiently wait on God for instruction, or if you prefer the counsel of your fellow men to the declaration of the Word of God, you will make mistakes and fail. ********************** Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins its wonders where the power of man ends.

Though fear looks and faith jumps, I remain standing on the Word of God: I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am moved only by what I believe in the word. ********************** The devil knows if he can successfully keep your mind under lock and key, or dominate your thought-life, he has won a mighty victory over you. **********************
You can have all you desired in life, if you can believe the Word of God concerning you when you knee to pray. **********************

One preacher said, “It was an easy thing for Jesus to feed the people with five loaves. The loaves were so big in those days that it was a simple matter cut them into pieces each.� But he forgot that one little boy brought those five loaves all the way in his lunch basket. There is nothing impossible with God. All the impossibility is with us when we measure God by the limitations of unbelief. ********************** I tell you God can arrange everything without going near. He can guide you diligently, if you commit your ways into His hands, or acknowledge Him in whatever you do. ********************** Whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them. Desire towards God- His will and He will meet you on the line of those desires when you reach out in simple obedience of faith. A Collection of Classic Quotes

********************** There is a vast difference between natural discernment and spiritual. When it comes to natural discernment you will find many people loaded with it, and they can see so many faults in others. ********************** If you want to manifest natural discernment, focus the same on yourself for at least twelve months and you will never want to fuss about faults of another. ********************** Our only safety in this world is to always obey the Word and constantly being led by the Holy Spirit. You must not forget Demas. He must have been baptized with the Holy Ghost because he was a right-hand worker with Paul, but he loved the ‘present’ world and he dropped off. ********************** A Collection of Classic Quotes

If it is in the Word, it is so. It is not even to be prayed about. It is to be received and acted upon. Inactivity is a robber which steals blessings. Increase comes by action –faith, by using what we know and have. If you must succeed therefore, your life must move from one faith level to another faith level. ********************** You can take it away, and you can use it, for all the power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith. **********************

Wisdom that does not teach you love of God will teach and praise the wickedness of men in disguise. ********************** Steadfastness in believing does not exclude all temptations from without. When we say a tree is firmly rooted, it does not mean that the wind never blows upon it. ********************** If we do not abide in the Word of God, we will abide in the temptation from our lust. **********************

Any concern too small to cast unto God is too small to be a burden to you. **********************
When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer. ********************** If you look at the world, you will be distressed. If you look within your own self, you will be depressed.

The bible is like a telescope. If a man can genuinely see and look through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything other than the things within his senses. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond. ********************** We never become truly spiritual by sitting down and wishing to become so. You must undertake something so great that you cannot accomplish it unaided. **********************
It does not take great men to do great things. It only takes consecrated men with a big heart. Be patient and understanding when relating to people because life is too short to be vengeful, hot-tempered and malicious. (Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours).

********************** Charity should begin at home but it shouldn’t stay there. ********************** Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your works shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the riches of life which has come to you by the grace of God.

Till men believe in the son of God (Jesus Christ) and have faith in the word of God concerning their lives, their best services are but glorified sins (a glorified unrighteousness). A Collection of Classic Quotes

********************** For great and mighty is the truth, the Word of God, and it shall prevail above all. ********************** Though there is nothing more dangerous, yet there is nothing more ordinary, than for Christians to make their senses and feelings the judge of their conditions. We must strive to walk by faith and not sight. ********************** Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss; he promises life, and pays with death. But God through His Holy Spirit in us and the Word promises, and all His payments are made in pure gold with absolute peace (no sorrow).

Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the heart and soul to God, through Christ, with the strength and assistance of the Holy Spirit, for such things as God has promised, or according to the Word, for the good of the church, with submission, in faith, to the will of God. ********************** What man's own brain may imagine and devise, is one thing, and what they are commanded, and ought to do, is another. Many ask and do not receive, because they ask with wrong motives; and so they never enjoy those things they pray for (James 4:3).

Whether Pentecostal or orthodox, as long as you are not a doer of the Word of God you are either a conservative or progressive. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservative is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types – the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. But in all of these, only the doer of the Will of God do exploits.

We must face the fact many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, and we live in comparative luxury.

I would rather die in the will of God, obeying what the Word says, than to live and gain the whole world disobeying it. This is because if you lose something for the Word sake, you will receive and enjoy something much better even in the World.

But let us come to Jesus and take Him at His Word and we will find wells of salvation, and be able to draw waters out of the well of salvation, for Jesus is that well. ********************** Justification and regenerations are simultaneous. The pardoned sinner becomes a child of God in justification. ********************** The real Pentecostal power is more of God’s love.

Faith changes hope to reality: People often make a substitution for faith - they substitute mental assent or mental agreement. They mentally agree that God's Word is true, and they call that faith. But mentally agreeing with the Word isn't faith. In fact, you can mentally agree that the Bible is true, but it won't become real to you until you act on what it says. It's when you act on God's Word that it becomes a reality. ************************* Your worst enemy is the flesh. The flesh and natural human reasoning would limit you to your own ability. You look at the circumstances, influences, problems, cares, tests, storms, and winds, and you say, "I can't." (The language of doubt, the flesh, the senses, and the Devil is, "I can't. I don't have the ability, the opportunity, or the strength. I'm limited"). **********************

Believe in God with all your heart; accept what He says about with all of your heart. Think upon His promises for you with your entire mind. Glorify Him in your body. ********************** Atmospheres are created with words. For example, if you go into a room where fish has been fried, the fish aroma is still in the atmosphere. And if you go into a room where harsh words have been spoken, they also linger in the atmosphere. The air is heavy with them. ********************** If you walk in love regardless of suffered wrongs, you'll come out on top at the long run! However, some people will regard your attitude as a weakness. Even ministers have told me, "There must be a weakness in your character; you never take up for yourself." No, it's strength! **********************

You must base your faith on what God says in His Word. Do not base your faith on what you see, hear, or feel. Things in this sense realm are temporal and fleeting, but things in the spirit realm are eternal and everlasting. ********************** What we say is our confession. And our confessions—the words we say— rule us. Jesus said they did ********************** See to it that you speak only the truth. Fortunately for you, His Word is the truth. **********************

The Lord Jesus Christ gave me a sermon during a vision in 1953. He told me to get pencil and paper and to write down 1, 2, 3, 4: Say it, Do it, Receive it, and tell it. Then He said, "If anyone, everywhere, will take these four steps, or put these four principles into operation, they will always receive whatever they want from Me, or from God the Father." ********************** If you really believe a thing in your heart, whether positive or negative, and you say it with your mouth, you will really have it. Jesus said you would. **********************

We can meditate on God's Word and come to know what it says, but until we put it into practice, it will do us no good. A doer of the Word is one who practices the Word. We have too many hearers and not enough “practicers”. People hear the Word and nod their heads in agreement, saying, "Amen, brother, that's the truth"—but they don't go out and practice it. Yet the Word can't affect our lives until we apply it in our lives. **********************

As a being, created by God, you have the power to think.

Any vow you make that will not make you bow your heart, your soul (emotions, will and reasoning) and body before the Word of God or through an instruction from His servants would cause your life a foul. ********************** If you did not believe God yesterday because He loves your enemy, and you cannot believe Him today because He loves you as he loves your neighbor, you can never believe Him tomorrow because is Love.

The branch of a palm tree will never look unto the root of mango tree for nutrients; the branch of any tree will never lack sustenance in as much is not disconnected from the main tree. Hence, once you are disconnected from the Word in any area of life you will surely die; you are a branch and Jesus, the word of God, is the tree. ********************** We humans are a hungry lot. We are driven by a craving to know who we are. Yet who we are is embedded in the word of God. Unless we seek for ourselves in the word through His spirit in us, we will be forever condemned to walk the arid edges of self understanding and reasoning. **********************

(He only hears your request in accordance with His will). That is why He has encouraged us to always rejoice in all things. ********************** You can measure your love for God on how much you’re casting your burden unto Him, not how much you complain about your neighbor, your boss, your enemy.

The Word of God is a seed that is right, and your life is like a garden and your heart like the ground. If you plant anything other than the word on it, don’t complain if all you will have on it are good things but not perfect things for you. ********************** You don’t need deliverance to be a Christian.

However, if you propose with the Will of God for your life, no one, not even God can dispose it. ********************** When you align with the Word of God, the Lord will keep you in the world, and also protect you from the world.
