| "I don't often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying." "We may be nothing, but in God, we can be mighty." "I would rather die trusting God than live in unbelief." "The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plan of God." "Desire toward God and you will have desires from God and He will meet you on the line of those desires when you reach out in simple faith." "Believe that when you come into the presence of God you can have all you came for. You can take it away, and you can use it, for all the power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith." "The devil knows if he can capture your thought life he has won a mighty victory over you." "I can get more out of God by believing Him for one minute than by shouting at Him all night." "I believe that God wants to put His hand upon us so that we may reach ideal definitions of humility, of human helplessness, of human insufficiency, until we will rest no more upon human plans, but have God�s thoughts, God�s voice, and the Holy Spirit to speak to us." "Believe that when you come into the presence of God, you can have all you came for. You can take it away, and you can use it, for all power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith." "I'm not moved by what I see. I'm moved only by what I believe!" "In me is working a power stronger than every other power. The life that is in me is a thousand times bigger than I am outside." "I believe that there is only one way to all the treasure of God, and that is the way of Faith. By faith and faith alone do we enter into a knowledge of the attributes, become partakers of the beatitudes, and participate in the glories of our ascended Lord." "But the Master does not want us to reason things out - for carnal reasoning will always land us in a bog of unbelief.. just obey." "I find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly; on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy." "If you wake up today and are the same as you were yesterday, you are a backslider." "As this precious faith becomes a part of you, you will dare to do anything. And remember, God wants daring people - people who will dare all, people who will be strong in Him and dare to do exploits." "How shall we reach this plane of faith? Let go of your own thoughts and take the thoughts of God, the Word of God. If you build yourself on imaginations you will go wrong. You have the Word of God, and it is enough. And truly the Word of God changes a person until he becomes an epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes his character, moves him on from grace to grace, makes him an inheritor of the very nature of God. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sups with him who opens his being to the Word of God and receives the Spirit who inspired it." |

| "When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed." Matthew 8:1-3 The leper must have been told about Jesus. How much is missed because people are not constantly telling what Jesus will do in this our day. Probably someone had come to that leper and said, "Jesus can heal you." And so he was filled with expectation as he saw the Lord coming down the mountain side. Lepers were not allowed to come within reach of people, they were shut out as unclean. And so in the ordinary way it would have been very difficult for him to get near because of the crowd that surrounded Jesus. But as He came down from the mount He met this poor leper. Oh, this terrible disease! There was no help for him humanly speaking, but nothing is too hard for Jesus. The man cried, "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." Was Jesus willing? You will never find Jesus missing an opportunity of doing good. You will find that He is always more willing to work than we are to give Him an opportunity to work. The trouble is we do not come to Him, we do not ask Him for what He is more than willing to give. And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, "I will; be thou clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. I like that. If you are definite with Him you will never go away disappointed. The divine life will flow into you and instantaneously you will be delivered. This Jesus is just the same today, and He says to you, "I will; be thou clean." He has an overflowing cup for thee, a fullness of life. He will meet you in your absolute helplessness. All things are possible if you will only believe. God has a real plan. It is so simple. Just come to Jesus. You will find Him just the same as He was in days of old.
