Temptation may even be a blessing to a man when it reveals to him his weakness and drives him to the almighty Savior. Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
There is nothing the Church of today needs so much as Spiritual Power; and there is nothing which we can have so easily, if only we are prepared to pay the price.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
What that price is, is to forsake sin, to pray in the Spirit and to expect the unexpected!!! If we obey the LORD and do as He says, then He will continue to pour out His Spirit upon the Church and we shall see the Power demonstrated in our lives.
Jesus Christ has bought us with His blood, but, alas, He has not had His money’s worth! He paid for ALL, and He has had but a fragment of our energy, time and earnings. By an act of consecration, let us ask Him to forgive the robbery of the past, and let us profess our desire to be henceforth utterly and only for Him- His slaves, owning no master other than Himself.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
There is no sin so profound, no despondency so low, no misery so abject, but the love of Christ is deeper.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist 1847 – 1929)
Joy is peace dancing and peace is joy at rest.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist 1847 – 1929)
God does not fill with His Holy Spirit those who believe in the fullness of the Spirit, or those who desire Him, but those who obey Him.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist 1847 – 1929)
What a comfort it is to feel that amid the chaos and anarchy which sweep the surface, God is holding fast the foundations on which we build.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist 1847 – 1929)
Consecration is only possible when we give up our will about EVERYTHING!!!
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist 1847 – 1929)
Prayer is an exchange. We leave our burdens, worries and sin in the hands of God. We come away with oil of joy and the garment of praise.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist 1847 – 1929)
God incarnate is the end of fear; and the heart that realizes that, realizes that he is in the midst, that takes heed to the assurance of his loving presence, will be quiet in the midst of alarm.
