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.

The fact that we were created to enjoy God and to worship him forever is etched upon our souls

When we sincerely turn to God, we will find that His church always moves forward, not backward

Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.

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.

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.

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.

Faith never denies reality but leaves room for God to grant a new reality.

The reason other churches don't grow: Jim, the truth is, I couldn't have a real prayer meeting in my church. I'd be embarrassed at the smallness of the crowd...

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

To be a Christian, you can’t go with the flow. You have to go by the Word of God.

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.

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

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.

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.

The birth of the church was during a prayer meeting, not preaching, not singing, but prayer.

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.

People pay attention when they see that God actually changes persons and sets them free. When a new Christian stands up and tells how God has revolutionized his or her life, no one dozes off. When someone is healed or released from a life-controlling bondage, everyone takes notice.

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.

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.
