His voice leads us not into timid discipleship but into bold witness.
— Charles Stanley
God's voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamour.
Yieldedness is vital in listening to what He has to say.
The amount of time we spend with Jesus - meditating on His Word and His majesty, seeking His face - establishes our fruitfulness in the kingdom.
We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.
A Christian has no right being in a fight unless it's a spiritual fight.
When God speaks, oftentimes His voice will call for an act of courage on our part.
He wants you all to Himself to put His loving, divine arms around you.
To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses.
Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important.
Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.
Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.
God will never tell us to do something that gratifies the flesh.
If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.
I'm convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that's not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.
An unschooled man who knows how to meditate upon the Lord has learned far more than the man with the highest education who does not know how to meditate.
We are either in the process of resisting God's truth or in the process of being shaped and molded by his truth.
