"If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95% of what we do would go on & no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95% of what they did would stop, & everybody would know the difference."- A.W. Tozer
the world’s greatest revolutionary never killed anyone. He never threw a rock, burned a flag or planned an insurrection. He was sentenced to death and went to His execution w/o struggle or defiance. The power of love, humility and servanthood cannot be overestimated.

It's time for fathers to war for their kids more than the culture wars for your kids. Make this your commitment in 2018, dads (spiritual, adopted and biological dads)

“I feel sorry for the man who has never known the bracing thrill of taking a stand and sticking to it fearlessly. Moral courage has rewards that timidity can never imagine. Like a shot of adrenaline, it floods the spirit with vitality” - Billy Graham

We say it was “Just a dream.”
What do you mean “just a dream”? Who knows what angels had to fight through to break into your world to give you their thoughts and you just say “it’s just a dream?” i think the church needs to stop saying “It’s just a dream.”

“Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.”
― A.W. Tozer
I cannot look at statistics. i can't be filled with all the bad news. I gotta keep my eyes on the promises of God. they keep you alive when everyone else is dying in the wilderness.
Wow. Chew on this one again and again! “The greatest miracle that God can do today is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world and make him holy, then put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it.”

When John’s disciples, who were known for fasting, asked Jesus why His disciples did not fast, His answer was that they would fast once He was gone. They would not do so in His presence, because fasting is about presence.
We are not told that Jesus ever taught His disciples how to preach, but He taught them how to pray. He wanted them to have power with God; then He knew they would have power with man. - D.L. Moody
Prophets are forged in the deserts of fasting, not the desserts of feasting. Be faithful in little and persevere for years if need be. Divine delays and desert disciplines are preparing you to fulfill your destiny.
Billy Graham went home today. Tonight I am preaching in PA a msg that I had planned to preach on the mantle of Elijah coming on Elisha and Billy Graham‘s mantle coming on a new gen of double portion evangelists...interesting timing! Join the Livestream! Details on my FB Page
The Nazirites are coming! They refuse to blend into the status quo and live for the mediocre. They pray, they fast, and they explore the depths and lengths of consecration to Jesus, just because they get to.
"Prayer turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God."- Samuel Chadwick

"Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you." — Corrie ten Boom

We believe god sent thousands from this gathering. Even a shift into a new Jesus movement took place I believe! @…
It is not by eloquent sermons that perishing souls are going to be reached; we need the power of God in order that the blessing may come down. - DL Moody
I believe this generation is called to be the greatest prophetic generation. In some ways, the greatest war against that is that we’ve gotten used to noises so we can’t hear His voice.

People say John Chau shouldn’t have gone to the Sentinelese because he could pass on disease. Without the gospel John was bringing, this people group whom Jesus died for will face something far more devastating than disease, an eternity without God.
In 1909, under the anointing of the Spirit of prophecy, William Seymour declared that in roughly one hundred years there would be another outpouring of God's Spirit and His Shekinah glory that would be greater and farther reaching than what was experienced at Azusa.
Fathers, your primary task is not to give your sons and daughters your physical DNA but to impart to them the very genetics of heaven! Whisper to their souls the high call of God upon their lives. Seize them with the divine story.
Did you know: Moses fasted 40 days and mentored a spiritual son named Joshua, which means the Lord saves. Elijah fasted 40 days and threw his mantle on a double portion son Elisha, which means the Lord saves.

WOW. “The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”

Literally overnight, in the grand scheme of time, I believe an army of wholly devoted young people has arisen out of this present darkness. They are rising still. this vast youth army is mobilized and maturing. Invisible now, invincible later.
I believe this generation is called to be the greatest prophetic generation. In some ways, the greatest war against that is that we’ve gotten used to noises so we can’t hear His voice.
I want to live my life under the shadow of a dominating prophecy not under the shadow of my failures and what couldn’t be done. That’s what prophecy does: it calls those things that are not as tho they were
"If it’s true that the Spirit of God dwells in us and that our bodies are the Holy Spirit’s temple, then shouldn’t there be a huge difference between the person who has the Spirit of God living inside of him or her and the person who does not?"

While reading quote in bio on William Wilberforce of 1800s who almost single-handedly ended slave trade in England, I was suddenly/forcibly apprehended by presence of God.I rec'd undeniable/irrevocable commission from God:"Raise up a prayer movement to end abortion in America."
"When God gets ready to shake America, He may not take the Ph.D. and the D.D. God may choose a country boy ... God may choose the man that no one knows, a little nobody, to shake America for Jesus Christ in this day, and I pray that He would!"
- Billy Graham
John the Baptist was anything but balanced. Sometimes “balance” can be a dirty word, especially when God wants to yank a nation back to Himself. When the times are desperate, only desperate men and women can shift the tide of history.

… involvement carries a cost. After Daniel stepped into the Lord’s counsel he found himself in a lion’s den. We can expect no less today. A lion’s den surely awaits all who refuse to compromise the burden the Lord has laid on their hearts.
“Rather than being purpose-driven, I prefer to be presence-centered. All our efforts in God’s Kingdom must originate from the place of rest, the place of His presence.”

"It is true that God may have called you to be exactly where you are. But, it is absolutely vital to grasp that he didn’t call you there so you could settle in and live your life in comfort and superficial peace."
