Inspirational Quotes by Charles Stanley
“Friend, when you understand why Jesus does certain things in your life, then you will develop true insight into how greatly He cares for you. God loves you profoundly—beyond what you can fathom.”
“Friend, you are special. God gave you certain characteristics, personality traits, talents, and aptitudes for a reason—for you to fulfill a unique role in history. And when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, He gave you certain spiritual gifts to use in ministry, for His glory (Ephesians 2:10). Therefore, today, embrace who your Creator says you are—His beloved child who is “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). No one who has ever lived before, is alive now, or will be in the future has been just like you. So enjoy who God made you to be!”
“Therefore, when you do stumble, always remember you have an Advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ—who hears your prayers for forgiveness and cares when you are hurting. God may discipline you when you yield to temptation, but He will never withhold His love from you. You are His child. This truth never changes. And because He is righteous, loving, and steadfast, He will certainly never fail you.”
“It is quite impossible to be where the Father wants you—doing your best and giving thanks from a grateful heart—and still be bored. So when you’re disheartened, remember reaching God’s potential for you is more about who you are than what you’re doing—it’s more about glorifying Him than past mistakes or pressures.”
“Con frecuencia una de las razones de nuestra perspectiva incorrecta de Dios es que cada vez que vamos a algún culto de la iglesia, encendemos la televisión o incluso leemos un libro, alguien nos dice: «Estás pecando contra Dios». «No estás obedeciendo a Dios». «No estás haciendo esto». «Deberías hacer aquello». «Dios está insatisfecho». «Dios está enojado». Recibimos una paliza verbal, emocional, desde todos los ángulos, pero esto no está de acuerdo con el Dios de la Biblia. El Dios de la Biblia es alguien ante quien podemos presentarnos sabiendo que nos va a recibir con paciencia y comprensión. No es un ser criticón, estricto e intransigente. No nos reprende ni nos hace sentir insignificantes porque no logramos el nivel esperado.”
“Si estábamos orando, abrir la Biblia en los Salmos y comenzar a leer. Si sentimos pesadez en los ojos y en la mente leyendo las Escrituras, cerremos la Biblia por unos minutos y alabemos conscientemente a Dios.”
“No me gustan las circunstancias que Dios usa, pero sí los resultados.”
“Para recibir las instrucciones de Dios es necesario que estemos en buenas relaciones con Él. Eso significa que hemos de ser llenos de su Espíritu y tenemos que aprender a andar en su Espíritu, sin contristar al Espíritu Santo de Dios (véase Efesios 4.30). Si contristamos a Dios al decirle sí al pecado y apagamos al Espíritu diciéndole no a Dios, ¿cómo puede el Espíritu Santo, que es receptor y comunicador para nuestro espíritu, declararnos la revelación de Dios? Una de las principales razones por las que la gente no oye nada cuando habla con Dios es que no está viviendo en el Espíritu. Su estilo de vida está en silenciosa rebelión contra Dios.”
“People get into trouble when they look to others to solve their problems. God is our problem solver.”
“During difficult times, we must trust God to bring us through the problem, trial, or tragedy. We may think that we are not gaining ground, but we are. In fact, from His viewpoint, we are gaining the most important ground because we are learning to trust Him in the darkest moments of our lives. One of the greatest benefits that comes from difficulty is an opportunity to draw closer to God and to develop a deeper faith in Him. A second benefit is an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. There are many things in life that you can purchase with money, but you cannot buy intimacy with God.”
“You have a personal letter from God through the words of the Bible, and it will transform you as you apply it to your life. So today, don’t miss out. Open the Word and listen to the Father with passion.”
“The true blessings of God can rarely be counted because He places them within our hearts.”
“God allows the winds of adversity to blow long enough and strong enough until we are driven to examine what we are doing. When”
“God is greater than any form of evil. He is alive and present with us through the power of His Holy Spirit in the lives of those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. This means that not only do we have a sure hope for what seems to be the most hopeless of circumstances, but we also have a loving Savior who comforts us in our times of trial and heartache (2 Cor. 1:3–4). He has a plan for your life, even if it has been damaged and torn apart by the winds of adversity (Jer. 29:11). You may think that there is no way He could ever love you, but He does. He created you in love for the purpose of knowing and loving you. Catastrophic events that involve innocent people are not the result of anything we have done wrong. God is not a stern judge who is sitting up in heaven waiting for the right moment to crush us for our actions.”
“Lord, by faith here’s what I’m doing right now to prepare myself for the coming day. I’m putting on the belt of truth. I ask You to make it very clear to me what I am to accept into my life and what I am to reject. Help me to see clearly the motives of others as they deal with me and converse with me. Let me walk in Your truth, making decisions and choices according to Your plans and purposes for my life. I am putting on the breastplate of righteousness. Guard my emotions today. Protect my heart. Help me to take into my life only the things that are pure, and nothing that is poison or polluting. Help me to live in integrity and to have a reputation based upon doing, saying, believing, thinking, and feeling the right things. Help me to live in right relationship with You every moment of this coming day. I am putting on my spiritual boots. Help me to stand and walk in Your peace and to move forward in ways that bring Your peace and love to others. Help me to have the full confidence and assurance that come from knowing that I am filled with the peace that only You can give to those who are Your children. Help me to be a peacemaker. Show me where to walk and how to walk as You would walk. I am picking up the shield of faith. Help me to trust You to be my Victor in every area of life today. Help me to trust You to defend me, provide for me, and keep me in safety every hour of this day. I am putting on my helmet of salvation. Guard my mind today. Bring to my remembrance all that You have done for me as my Savior. Let me live in the hope and confidence that You are saving me—rescuing me and delivering me—from evil. I am picking up my sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Bring to my remembrance today the verses of the Bible that I have read and memorized, and help me to apply them to the situations and circumstances I will face. Let me use Your Word to bring Your light into the darkness of this world and to defeat the devil when he comes to tempt me. Father, I want to be fully clothed with the identity of Jesus Christ today. I am in Christ. He is in me. Help me to fully realize and accept that He is my Truth, my Righteousness, my Peace, my Savior, the source of my faith, and the ever-present Lord of my life. I want to bring glory to Your name today. I ask all of this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.
