More quotes by Henry Blackaby
The truth is that God can do anything He pleases through an ordinary person who is fully dedicated to Him.
Henry Blackaby
When leaders claim that God bypasses their followers and speaks directly to them, they greatly diminish all God does through the lives of believers.Leaders who begrudge people the opportunity to seek God themselves and who do not actively teach their people how to hear God's voice have disqualified themselves as spiritual leaders.
Henry Blackaby
If things are getting darker, the problem is with us.
Henry Blackaby
Revival is a divinely initiated work in which God’s people pray, repent of their sin, and return to a holy, Spirit-filled, obedient, love-relationship with God.
Henry Blackaby
Nothing is more pathetic than having a small character in a big assignment. Many of us don't want to give attention to our character, we just want the big assignment from God.
Henry Blackaby
We were not saved from our sin simply so that we would qualify for heaven. God delivered us so we would have a relationship with Him through which He could carry out His mission to redeem a lost world.
Henry Blackaby
People who make decisions based merely on what seems most advisable to them will inevitably choose something inferior to God's best. Jesus, the ultimate model for the Christian life, did not rely on His own best thinking, but depended completely on His heavenly Father for wisdom in everything.
Henry Blackaby
How you live your life is a testimony of what you believe about God.
Henry Blackaby
Don't put labels on people. See them as people who Christ died for.
Henry Blackaby
Prayerless leaders are like ship captains without compasses they can make their best guess at which direction to go, but they have no assurance they are heading the right way. Prayer keeps leaders focused on the one absolutely consistent factor in life - God.
Henry Blackaby
If we walk with Him closely today, we'll be in the center of His will tomorrow
Henry Blackaby
You cannot stay the way you are and go with God.
Henry Blackaby
Jesus taught that your highest priority must be your relationship with Him. If anything detracts you from that relationship, that activity is not from God. God will not ask you to do something that hinders your relationship with Christ.
Henry Blackaby
If the Christian does not know when God is speaking, he is in trouble at the heart of his Christian life!
Henry Blackaby
Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes--all the time! It must be that way, for God's glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world.
Henry Blackaby
If you know that God loves you, you should never question a directive from Him.
Henry Blackaby
God is interested in developing your character. At times He lets you proceed, but He will never let you go too far without discipline to bring you back. In your relationship with God, He may let you make a wrong decision. Then the Spirit of God causes you to recognize that it is not God's will. He guides you back to the right path.
Henry Blackaby
If you feel weak, limited, ordinary, you are the best material through which God can work.
Henry Blackaby
All revival begins, and continues, in the prayer meeting. Some have also called prayer the great fruit of revival. In times of revival, thousands may be found on their knees for hours, lifting up their heartfelt cries, with thanksgiving, to heaven.
Henry Blackaby
Regardless of what we say, it's what we do that reveals what we as a church or individual actually believe about God and His will for us.
