Inspirational Quotes by Charles Stanley
“¿Hemos edificado bien, prestando atención a la Palabra de Dios y aplicándola a diario, o hemos edificado pobremente, escuchando pero sin llevarla a la práctica?”
“When you feel the lure of sin, conquer it by seeking the Savior. It won’t be easy, and sometimes deliverance will take time. But always seek to honor Him and He will certainly teach you how to overcome.”
“But realize, every “you shall not” in the Bible is a promise of God’s protection. He is not preventing you from enjoying life; rather, He is saving you—keeping you from destroying yourself. Every command in His Word is an expression of divine love to you, His beloved child. He wants to protect and preserve your life so you can enjoy all the blessings He’s planned for 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.”
“when you think all is lost is when Your Savior reveals His awesome power.”
“Don’t continue to beat yourself up over something that God has forgiven.”
“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.”
“PRAY FOR THE NATION Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. PSALM 33:12 Our nation is always in need of prayer. In good times and bad, whether at war or at peace, during seasons of overflowing abundance or great need, it’s always important for us to intercede for our country. Why? First, because our fellow citizens need to accept Jesus as their Savior. If we desire for our nation to be characterized by godly families, wise and capable leaders, and strong communities, then we need to pray our countrymen will enthrone the Lord in their homes and hearts. Second, we need the Father’s favor and protection against threats such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, epidemics, and economic downturns. If we wish for our country to remain safe, productive, and strong, we will need God’s divine provision.”
“Friend, God has not abandoned you—and your love for Him is never in vain. He is hemming you in so you will seek Him and so He can reveal Himself to you in a more profound way than you’ve ever known. Don’t underestimate what He can and will do through the difficult circumstances of your life. He wants you to realize that He is intimately concerned with even the most seemingly common, insignificant matters of your life. So seek Him. He can and will show you His glory. Allow Him to speak to you powerfully through the adversity.”
“Friend, God is the same today as He was in Bible times, and He works through everything that touches your life for your good. Therefore, no matter how dire your circumstances may appear—or how far He stretches the last of your resources—trust Him to supply your needs.”
“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!”
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” JOHN 10:10 NKJV Isn’t this verse comforting? Not only does Jesus provide eternal life when we accept Him as our Savior, but He also gives us an abundant life here and now—overflowing with every good blessing so we can accomplish all that He has called us to do.”
“Like Peter, you may want God’s will but are unsure about how He is accomplishing it—and you prefer to manage life according to your terms. But, friend, it just doesn’t work that way. So let go of your fear and allow the Savior to work. He has a better plan than you can imagine. Accept that He’s in control, and rest in the knowledge that He’s always victorious.”
“Psalm 34:18 is clear, “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” So when you feel at your most unworthy or defeated is when the Father is closest, tenderly bidding you to return to Him.”
“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.”
“The most profound need of your soul is to be still in the presence of God. Stop wrestling with your troubles or worrying about circumstances—the Lord Almighty is greater than all of them. So calm your soul and focus on His astounding wisdom, ability, and timing.”
“Friend, take your focus off of what you think—or what others think about you—and embrace what the Father says. No doubt your self-esteem will automatically improve because God’s opinion is the only one that really counts—forever.”
“Friend, take this to heart. God can do anything in your life—even what looks absolutely impossible. So trust Him to keep His Word to you regardless of how challenging your circumstances may appear.”
“Friend, you simply cannot go wrong when you obey God. So trust Him even if it is difficult. And be assured that He will certainly bless your faithfulness.”

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.
