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'.

To be a Christian is not only to believe the teaching of Christ, and to practice it it is not only to try to follow the pattern and example of Christ it is to be so vitally related to Christ that His life and His power are working in us. It is to be in Christ, it is for Christ to be in us.

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.

Man was never meant to be a god, but he is forever trying to deify himself.

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

The devil is so subtle that he dominates man and persuades him at the same time that he is not being dominated.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.

Faith is the refusal to panic.

The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.
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
There is nothing which so certifies the genuineness of a man's faith as his patience and his patient endurance, his keeping on steadily in spite of everything.

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.
