| "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." |

| "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" (Romans 8:14-16) Peter and John knew that they had been in the upper room, they had felt the glory, they had been given divine utterances. They had seen conviction on the people. They knew that they had come into a wonderful thing. They know that what they had would be ever increasing and that it would be ever needful to cry, "Enlarge the vessel that the Holy Ghost may have more room within." They knew that all the old things were moved away and they had entered into an increasing and ever increasing knowledge of God, and that it was their Master's wish that they should be filled with the Spirit of God and with power every day and every hour. The secret of power is the unveiling of Christ, the all-powerful One within, the revelation of God who comes to abide within us. As they looked upon the crippled man at the Beautiful Gate they were filled with compassion. They were prompted by the Spirit to stop and speak with him. They said to the lame man, "Look on us." It was God's plan that the man should open his eyes with expectation. Peter said, "Of silver and gold we have none. But we have something and we will give it to you. We don't know what it is, but we give it to you. It is all in the name of Jesus." And then began the ministry of God. You begin in faith and you see what will happen. It is bidden from us at the beginning, but as we have faith in God He will come forth. The coming forth of the power is not of us but of God. There is no limit to what He will do. It is all in a nutshell as you believe God. And so Peter said, "Such as I have I give to thee: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." And the man who had been in that way for forty years stood up, and began to leap, and entered into the temple walking and leaping and praising God.
