The devil is not terribly frightened of our human efforts and credentials. But he knows his kingdom will be damaged when we begin to lift up our hearts to God.

More quotes by Jim Cymbala
Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.
Jim Cymbala
The more we pray, the more we sense our need to pray. And the more we sense a need to pray, the more we want to pray.
Jim Cymbala
The old saying is true: If you have only the Word, you dry up. If you have only the Spirit, you blow up. But if you have both, you grow up.
Jim Cymbala
The fact that we were created to enjoy God and to worship him forever is etched upon our souls
Jim Cymbala
Oh, how we need to wake up to the fact that the Holy Spirit’s blessing and power is the key to everything.
Jim Cymbala
Your future and mine are determined by this one thing: seeking after the Lord.
Jim Cymbala
Every time we open the Bible, let's stop and pray, whether for fifteen seconds or fifteen minutes, asking the Spirit to teach us. When I read the Bible, I want God to talk to my soul.
Jim Cymbala
The key is not money organization, cleverness, or education. Are you and I seeing the results Peter saw? Are we bringing thousands of men and women to Christ the way he did? If not, we need to get back to His power source.

For all of us involved in preaching the gospel, performing music, publishing Christian materials, and all the rest, there is an uncomfortable message here: Jesus is not terribly impressed with religious commercialism
Jim Cymbala
The birth of the church was during a prayer meeting, not preaching, not singing, but prayer.
Jim Cymbala
I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most.

It's not about being a Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, or 5-Point Calvinist. God has only one family and, as Christians, we're in it!
Jim Cymbala
You can tell how popular a church is by who comes on Sunday morning. You can tell how popular the pastor or evangelist is by who comes on Sunday night. But you can tell how popular Jesus is by who comes to the prayer meeting.
Jim Cymbala
The main thing that God asks for is our attention.
Jim Cymbala
Prayer cannot truly be taught by principles and seminars and symposiums. It has to be born out of a whole environment of felt need. If I say, I ought to pray, I will soon run out of motivation and quit the flesh is too strong. I have to be driven to pray.
Jim Cymbala
Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.
Jim Cymbala
God is not aloof. He is not disconnected. He says continually through the centuries, I’ll help you, I really will. When you don’t know where to turn, then turn to me. When you’re ready to throw up your hands - throw them up to me. Put your voice behind them too, and I’ll come and help you.
Jim Cymbala
By not forgiving, by not letting wrongs go, we aren't getting back at anyone. We are merely punishing ourselves by barricading our own hearts.
Jim Cymbala
He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.
Jim Cymbala
God nowhere asks anyone to have a large church. He only calls us to do his work, proclaiming his Word to people he loves under anointing power of the Holy Spirit to produce results that only he can bring about.
