Faith & Trust
God is life, and love, and blessing, and power, and infinite beauty, and God delights to communicate Himself to every child who is prepared to receive Him; but ah! this one lack of absolute surrender is just the thing that hinders God.
God alone can effect the change. God alone, who gave us the Holy Spirit, can restore the Holy Spirit in power into our life.
If you had trusted Christ, He could not fail.
When faith in its struggling gets to the end of itself, and just throws itself upon God and rests on Him, then comes joy and victory.
Moment by moment I’m kept in His love; moment by moment I’ve life from above.
The condition of God’s blessing is absolute surrender of all into His hands.
The branch has nothing but what it gets from the vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.
God cannot do it.
Let death be to you the most desirable thing on earth: death to self, and fellowship with Christ.
God takes care that His own divine light shines upon you, and that you shall abide in that light, if you will only trust Him for it.
The Spirit has come to keep the link with Him unbroken every moment.
Your religious life is every day to be a proof that God works impossibilities; your religious life is to be a series of impossibilities made possible and actual by God’s almighty power. That is what the Christian needs.
It is impossible for man to do it. And then alongside that is the thought--What is impossible with man is possible with God.
God works to will, and then He works to do.
What is done in the will of God, the strength of God will not be withheld from it; what is done in the will of God must have the mighty blessing of God.
The beginning of the true Christian life is to receive the Holy Spirit.
At the bottom of all faith there is a feeling of helplessness.
It is in hearts entirely surrendered to the Lord Jesus, in hearts separating themselves from the world, and even from ordinary religious exercises, and giving themselves up in intense prayer to look to their Lord--it is in such hearts that the heavenly will of God will be made manifest.
The whole of Christianity is a work of God’s omnipotence.
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
