More quotes by Dwight L. Moody
When God wants to move a mountain, he does not take a bar of iron, but he takes a little worm. The fact is, we have too much strength. We are not weak enough. It is not our strength that we want. One drop of God's strength is worth more than all the world.
Dwight L. Moody
A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.
Dwight L. Moody
There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.
Dwight L. Moody
I have come a hundred miles, said a minister, to get some of Mr. Moody's spirit. You don't want my spirit, was the reply. What you want is the Spirit of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.
Dwight L. Moody
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it but joy flows right on through trouble joy flows in the night as well as in the day joy flows through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
Dwight L. Moody
Salvation is worth working for. It is worth a man's going round the world on his hands and knees, climbing its mountains, crossing its valleys, swimming its rivers, going through all manner of hardship in order to attain it. But we do not get it in that way. It is to him who believes.
Dwight L. Moody
God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, and if we are not filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges
Dwight L. Moody
Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody forty years learning he was nobody and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.
Dwight L. Moody
The tendency of the world is down - God's path is up.
Dwight L. Moody
How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn't very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah's prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Give me a man who says this one thing I do, and not those fifty things I dabble in.
Dwight L. Moody
The Bible without the Holy Spirit is a sundial by moonlight.
Dwight L. Moody
Character is what you are in the dark.
Dwight L. Moody
If God tells us to do a thing we are to do it if He tells us to believe a thing, we are to believe it we are to have faith in God. Have faith in God, and if God tells you to believe a thing believe it, and then you will have peace and confidence and joy.
Dwight L. Moody
What we want is to be real. Let us not appear to be more than we are. Don't let us put on any cant, any assumed humility, but let us be real that is the delight of God. God wants us to be real men and women, and if we profess to be what we are not, God knows all about us. God hates sham.
Dwight L. Moody
Lying covers a multitude of sins - temporarily.
Dwight L. Moody
There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit.
Dwight L. Moody
A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns they only shine.
Dwight L. Moody
There is no harder lesson for man to learn than the lesson of humility. It is the rarest of all gifts. It is a very rare thing to find a man or woman that is following closely the footsteps of the Master in meekness and humility.
Dwight L. Moody
