| Re: | | Hello to you all!
The last couple of months I have been saving some quotes to my computer and they have encouraged me in my walk with Jesus. I hope they will too be an encouragement to you.
Although quotes can be an enormous blessing and encouragement, I pray that we primarily may learn from Gods own Word, the Bible. It is sooo awesome to remember His word when you are in a specific situation. It is just so cool to be able to hold on to a word of God!! 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...' (Col 3:16). If we want to know Christ and experience Him as a reality, "the way to do it" is: reading His word. Because about Jesus is written: 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God!' (John 1:1).
We live in a time in which people eagerly replace the Bible with examples and other stuff. But we need to get back to the Bible if we want 'our preaching' (better said: Holy Ghost Preaching :-D)to be powerful. Gods word is powerful (Heb 4:12). In Jeremiah it says: 'Since they have rejected the word of the Lord, what kind of wisdom do they have?' (Jer 8:9). May our hearts be filled with His word and the Holy Spirit!
But ok...now it's time for the quotes :-P
"You have nothing to be proud of. If you are ever used at all, bear in mind that it is God speaking in you, and not you yourself" (Dwight L. Moody)
"When God gave Christ to this world, He gave the best He had, and He wants us to do the same" (Dwight L. Moody)
"God sends no one away empty, except those who are full of themselves" (Dwight L. Moody)
"And Satan trembles when he sees, The weakest saint upon his knees" (William Cowper)
"There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross-bearers here below" (Don't know from who this one is)
"The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction" (Don't know either)
"Some want to live within the sound Of Church or Chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop Within a yard of hell" (C.T. Studd)
"God is your only audience" (Pastor Mike Sexton)
God bless,
Paul

Thank you for sharing these brother Paul.

A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God's Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin." -Robert Murray M'Cheyne _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

| Re: Christ intercedes for us! | | "If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me" - Robert Murray M'Cheyne -
This quote shows us how concerned Jesus is with our lives. In Hebrews God says: "He always lives to intercede for them" (Hebrews 7:25). Christ applied to another 'job' from God when His job on earth had been accomplished. He's now interceding for us and He prays prayers for us like the one stated in Luke 22:31: "Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not".
What an awesome thought it is that Jesus, who resurrected from the death and has all power in Heaven and earth, prays for me. Distance makes no difference...the fact that JESUS is praying for me does it all!! In our struggles with sin, in our battles against depression, in our times of sorrow, we may know that at that very moment Jesus Christ Himself is praying for us...the Man of Prayer!! And John 11:42 tells us that God always answers His prayer..."Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me. And I knew that Thou hearest Me always.."
Let us therefore, dear friends, take heart! It is not a great preacher praying for us, nor is it our mum or dad. It is not our neighbour praying nor our church...it is not just a man, it is the Son of Man. JESUS Himself intercedes for us! _________________ Paul
