Get Alone With God

Here are some more great quotes to consider as we head into the weekend. With all the fighting in this election and dirty politics, it is good to focus on the things of God and separate every now and then from the battle. Get alone with God, your Bible and consider some of these quotes from these men and women of God:

"Elisha had more of the Holy Spirit, dead, than most Christians
have of Him, alive." - Steve Wilburn

"God doesn't answer prayer, He answers desperate prayer!"
- Leonard Ravenhill

"I don't want to preach GOOD, I want to preach GOD!"
- G.A. Jarquin

"We sometimes talk about the price of revival, and we need to be
very careful as to what we mean when we speak like this. We may
place that price so high that we put revival right beyond the reach
of the ordinary run of mortals. Maybe that is our way of attempting
to justify God, that He has not yet, apparently, given the revival
His people need.But that is a wrong done to God and a cruelty done to his church. There is without doubt a price to be paid for revival, but it is not of
necessity the long nights of prayer or excruciating sacrifices, but
of simply humbling pride to repent of sin." - Roy Hession

"Put off a sin or a piece of a sin every day."—Rutherford.

"Truth must be spoken, however it be taken."—John Trapp

"You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot
do more than pray until you have prayed." - A. J. Gordon

"Playing marbles with diamonds, thats what we are doing in the
church today." - Vance Havner

"When the church and the world can jog comfortably along together, you can be sure something is wrong. The world has not compromised - its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was. If Christians were equally as faithful to the Lord, separated from the world, and living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness,the world would hate them as much as it ever did. It is the church that has compromised, not the world." - Catherine Booth

"I'm not an erudite man, but I only have one message. Repent.
That's it. Now I can sit down." - Ray Greenley

"I bet you there will be people in hell saying, 'I thought there was
no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.'" - G.A. Jarquin

"The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still."
- A.W. Tozer

"When Jesus said 'The Kingdom of God is within you,' He meant
that kingdom that governs and controls the heart and mind and
outlook." - Martin Lloyd Jones

"Where there have been mighty deeds, there need be no multitude
of words to tell of them. Many words are required only where the
deeds have been too feeble to speak for themselves." - A.W. Tozer

"They will pay $15 for a Christian concert to hear a Christian singer and for free they won't come into the presence of God and call upon the name of the Lord." - Jim Cymbala

"The Lord came not to destroy, but to save. Everything is safe
which we commit to Him and nothing is really safe which is not so
committed." - A.W. Tozer

"No praying.. no holiness." - Greg Gordon

"Know praying...Know holiness." - MB
