Words to Ponder
David Sliker (Senior Leader at IHOP-KC and Instructor at the Forerunner School of Ministry). "His mercies are new every morning - which doesn't mean that Jesus overlooks sin, compromise, and brokenness in our lives; it means that every morning we awaken to His unwavering, relentless commitment to seeing us set free, made whole, filled with indescribable joy from His incomparable love."
William Carey (the Father of Modern Missions). "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God."
Henry Martyn (Missionary to India & Persia). "The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become."
Pastor Tim Benson (Pastor of Liberty Community Church in Port Charlotte, FL) "Its not a matter of trying harder, but moving closer."
Jim Elliot (Missionary martyr who lost his life in the late 1950's trying to reach the Auca Indians in Ecuador). "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
P.F. Bresee (Founder of the Church of the Nazarene). "We are debtors to every man to give him the Gospel in the same measure in which we have received it."
Unknown "We must win the lost at any cost because people last forever."
Helen B. Marshall "Everything I have need of is found in Jesus - in the revelation of Him and who I am in Him."
Wes Hall (Senior Leader at IHOP & Part of the Core Faculty of Forerunner School of Ministry) “This is one of the secrets of our worship leaders here at IHOP–KC: they carry the revelation that God surrounds Himself with music, worship, singing, and the full, manifest presence of the Holy Spirit, the very beauty of God (Rev. 4–5). Our worship leaders are committed to diligent study of this reality, just like King David in Psalm 27:4 “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple. I encourage you to join us as we set our hearts to worship God and sing about His beauty. You can join us free through our live webstream at IHOP.org.”
C.T. Studd "If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him."
Tim Goad "People change when they hurt enough they have to change, learn enough they want to change, receive enough and are able to change."
Dave Davidson "If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn't it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death?"
Pastor Ariel Acuna (Filipino Missionary to Thailand) "If you are trying to decide if you should do something or not, ask yourself this question: "Will this honor God?"."
Roy Hicks (Pastor and District Supervisor for the Four Square Denomination) "Sin will take me farther than I want to go, keep me longer than I want to stay, cost me more than I could possibly pay. There is no sin that can yield enough pleasure."
Unknown "The highest aim of publishing is putting God's word into man's heart."
Chinese Fortune Cookie "It will get better when I get better."(This really did come from an actual fortune cookie!)
George Sotolongo (Youth Director, Orlando House of Prayer) “What does it mean to be "Poor" in Spirit? It does NOT mean - poor in the sense of material goods, lack of self esteem or self depreciation. The more accurate definition of "Poor in Spirit" would be emptying out all your worldly, self promotional attitudes and ideas. Before a man can rise before God, he must fall to himself and to all that would lift him up without God.
Paul the Apostle "And say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it." (Colossians 4:17)
Unknown "Never doubt in the dark what God has told you in the light."
FF Bosworth "The Book of Acts of the Holy Spirit is a revelation of the way God the Holy Spirit, Who is fully God, wants to continue to act through the Church."
Pastor Ariel Acuna "When you problem God's problem, God will problem your problem."
Helen B. Marshall Prayer is a journey into the very heart of God which He has opened to the redeemed, those washed in the blood of His own Son, those who once were far off, who have been brought near by His blood. Brought near to see those things they could not see, and hear those things they could hear, to experience those things that have been prepared for them since before the earth's foundation stones were laid.
Mark A. Copeland (Gospel Teacher Bible Preacher) We understand that in order for our faith to be pleasing to God we must trust Him to the extent of obeying Him (Hebrews 5:9). It is through such faith that we become God's children. (Galatians 3:26-27)
Susanna Wesley "Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself." (This quote was from a letter dated June 8, 1725 that Susanna wrote to her son John Wesley.)
