Inspirational Quotes by John C. Maxwell
“flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: 33:26 He shall pray”
“DEU8.10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.”
“PRO18.24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”
“PSA40.1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”
“ACT18.28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.”
“Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.”
“MAR1.14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, MAR1.15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
“The Spirit’s Direction, INTERCESSION. This promise carries deep instruction. We dare not suppose we can truly intercede effectively on the sole basis of our perspective or understanding. Since we never really thoroughly know how to pray as we ought, we must exercise the humility and faith to wait on God and let the Holy Spirit direct us. Presumption—supposing we already know how to intercede for others—will not only hinder maximum effectiveness, it will also cause us to miss the thrilling sense of adventure God wants to bless us with as we receive His insight and enablement for intercessory prayer. How do we know without infinite minds whether God wants to move through us with weeping, travailing, wrestling, fasting, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, dreams, visions, mental pictures, impressions, verses of Scripture quickened to us, or silence? Only by waiting on God and giving Him time to move on and through us. Ps. 62:5 teaches this wisdom: “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.”
“And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.”
“aJericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! bI have given Jericho into your hand, its cking, and the mighty men of valor.”
“ROM8.29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
“And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.”
