Quote

There are powers that can counterfeit almost everything in the Christian life.

To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.

Image
The ultimate cause of spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief, even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
We should go into His presence as a child goes to his father. We do it with reverence and godly fear, of course, but we should go with a childlike confidence and simplicity.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.

Grace is favor shown to people who do not deserve any favor at all.

The Gospel is open to all the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.

You pray and make your requests made known unto God, and God will do something.' It is not your prayer that is going to do it, it is not you who is going to do it, but God. 'The peace of God that passeth all understanding'-He, through it all, 'will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus'.

You can have knowledge, and you can be meticulous in your preparation but without the unction of the Holy Spirit you will have no power, and your preaching will not be effective.

Image
The devil's one object is so to depress God's people that he can go to the man of the world and say: There are God's people. Do you want to be like that?

Image
If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Human will-power alone is not enough. Will-power is excellent and we should always be using it but it is not enough. A desire to live a good life is not enough. Obviously we should all have that desire, but it will not guarantee success.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
We all tend to go to extremes some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no either/or here it is always both/and. These two things must go together.

We need less travelling by jet plaes from congress to congress... but more kneeling and praying and pleading to God to have mercy on us, more crying to God to arise and scatter his enemies and make himself known.

If you can explain what is happening in a church, apart from the sovereign act of God, it is not revival.

Prayer, in many ways, is the supreme expression of our faith in God.

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.

Faith always shows itself in the whole personality.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to succeed before he is ready.

Be still, and know that I am God. We must not interpret that 'Be still' in a sentimental manner. Some regard it as a kind of exhortation to us to be silent but it is nothing of the sort. It means, 'Give up -or 'Give in' and admit I am God'. God is addressing people who are opposed to Him.
