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.

More quotes by Jim Cymbala
People who have a seeking heart still make mistakes. But their reaction to rebuke and correction shows the condition of that heart. It determines what God is able to do with them in the future.
Jim Cymbala
Faith never denies reality but leaves room for God to grant a new reality.
Jim Cymbala
Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.
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 birth of the church was during a prayer meeting, not preaching, not singing, but prayer.
Jim Cymbala
We need to realize that the promises that overflow our Bibles will overflow into our own lives only as we appropriate them through prayer.
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.

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 fact that we were created to enjoy God and to worship him forever is etched upon our souls
Jim Cymbala
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.
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
When we sincerely turn to God, we will find that His church always moves forward, not backward
Jim Cymbala
If we repeatedly read the Bible without the help of the Holy Spirit, it tends to reinforce our own prejudices and rock-hard doctrinal positions. We end up merely finding ammunition for what we already believe. We become so spiritually proud, so convinced of our own positions, that the Spirit is hindered in helping us to grow in the things of God.
Jim Cymbala
The main thing that God asks for is our attention.
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
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
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
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.

Your future and mine are determined by this one thing: seeking after the Lord.
