It is our privilege to have a living abiding Savior. He is the source of spiritual power implanted within us, his influence will flow forth in words and actions refreshing all within the sphere of our influence, begetting in them desires and aspirations for strength and purity, Holiness and peace and for that Joy which brings with it no sorrow this is the result of an indwelling Savior the spirit...

To those who with steadfast perseverance strive to reveal the attributes of Christ, angels are commissioned to give enlarged views of his character and work, his power and Grace and love. This is how we become partakers of his nature.

Those only who are constantly receiving fresh supplies of Grace will have power proportionate to their daily need and their ability to use that power. Instead of looking forward to some future time when through a special endowment of spiritual power they will receive a miraculous fitting up for soul winning they are yielding themselves daily to God that he may make them vessels meet for his use.

Through the surrender of the soul to God his wisdom can accomplish what human wisdom fails to do. Through the revelation of his grace, hearts that were once indifferent or estranged maybe united.

If Christ had lost one conflict his death upon the cross would have been useless and unavailing and humanity would have been forever lost. If he had had one sin he could not have been a perfect sacrifice.

Those who turn to God with heart and soul and mind will find in him peaceful security.

It is essential that you cultivate faithfulness and little things, and so doing you will acquire habits of integrity in greater responsibilities. The man was going home after a prayer meeting and he felt God tell him go buy a gallon of milk..

God gives us strength, reasoning power, and time in order that we may build characters on which he can place his stamp of approval. We will be pure of Christ is formed within the hope of glory.

Let no one think he can overcome without the help of God. You must have the energy, the strength, the power, of an inner life developed within you. You will then bear fruit to godliness and will have an intense loathing of vice.

Jesus has opened to everyone a way by which wisdom, grace, and power may be obtained. He is our example in all things, and nothing should divert the mind from the main object in life, which is to have Christ in the soul, melting and subduing the heart.

It is not wise to look to ourselves and study our emotions. If we do this, the enemy will present difficulties and temptations that weaken our faith and destroy courage. We are to look away from self to Jesus.

Like a roaring lion, Satan is seeking for his prey. He tries his wiles upon every unsuspecting youth; there is safety only in Christ. Make God your trust this is your only safety .

The Savior read the heart of Judas; he knew the depths of iniquity to which, unless delivered by the grace of God, Judas would sink.
