If the Church ever succeeds in doing that big thing, that great thing, that unspeakable thing that God purposes that we should do, it can only be when we enter into that Divine compassion of the Son of God.

We cannot exercise our faith beyond what we believe to be possible.

The Spirit of God is as destructive of evil as it is creative of good.

It is a sad thing when you hear Christians with a groan in them. When I meet the groaner, I say in my heart, God, move that man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is.

Miracles are creative. Healing is the restoration of what has been.

God, move that man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is.

I feel that very frequently prayer is made a refuge to dodge the action of faith.
John G. Lake
Image
There is only one reality. That reality is God. The soul of man must contact God, and unless the spirit of man is truly joined to God, there is no such thing as real Christian manifestation.
John G. Lake
Image
Beloved, if any unholiness exists in the nature, it is not there by the consent of the Spirit of God. If unholiness is in your life it is because your soul is giving consent to it, and you are retaining it. Let it go. Cast it out and let God have His way in your life.

Science is the discovery of how God does things.

For the sake of a dying, suffering world count the cost, pay the price and set the captives free

Salvation is not just something God gives you that is going to bless you after you die, it is having the presence of the lord now.

Image
Jesus did not heal the sick in order to coax them to be Christians. He healed because it was His nature to heal.

A mans life will be of the character of his thought. His outward life will be as the inner impulse is.
