More quotes by Henry Blackaby
If we walk with Him closely today, we'll be in the center of His will tomorrow
Henry Blackaby
During true revival, thousands of lost people are suddenly swept into the Kingdom of God. Scenes of the lost coming to the Savior in great, and unprecedented numbers, are common.
Henry Blackaby
The truth is that God can do anything He pleases through an ordinary person who is fully dedicated to Him.
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
Don't put labels on people. See them as people who Christ died for.
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
Prayer is designed to adjust you to God's will, not to adjust God to your will.
Henry Blackaby
It takes intentional effort to tune out every voice except God's.
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
Ultimately, leadership is more about 'being' than 'doing.'
Henry Blackaby
The Christian never works toward victory, he always works FROM victory.
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
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
The essence of sin is a shift from God centeredness to a self-centeredness. The essence of salvation is a denial of self, not an affirming of self.
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
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
We should thank God for being with us, not ask Him to be with us (this is always given!).
Henry Blackaby
Wouldn't it be a tragedy to get to the top of the ladder and find you placed it against the wrong wall?
Henry Blackaby
If you have trouble hearing God speak, you are in trouble at the very heart of your Christian experience.
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.
