I have felt the impact of your prayer in these past weeks. I am certain now that nothing has had a more powerful infl uence on this life of mine than your prayers.
Jim Elliot
Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
Jim Elliot
I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.
Jim Elliot
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.
Jim Elliot
Father, take my life, yea, my blood if Thou wilt, and consume it with Thine enveloping fire. I would not save it, for it is not mine to save. Have it Lord, have it all. Pour out my life as an oblation for the world. Blood is only of value as it flows before Thine altar
Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
Jim Elliot
God deliver me from the dread asbestos of “other things.” Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.
Jim Elliot
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
Jim Elliot
Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!
Jim Elliot
I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
Jim Elliot
Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr, the man who will not act until he knows all will never act at all.
Jim Elliot
For my generation I must have the oracles of God in fresh terms.
Jim Elliot
Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?
Jim Elliot
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.
Jim Elliot
I have had to make a cross of two logs, and lie down on it, to show the Indians what it means to crucify a man.
Jim Elliot
Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.
Jim Elliot
Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.
Jim Elliot
No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him.
Jim Elliot
Rest in this-it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call, or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you... The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate Word from God.
Jim Elliot
