Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.
- John Piper

98
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
- E.M. Bounds

97
Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
- C.S. Lewis

96
With the power of God within us, we need never fear the powers around us.
- Woodrow Kroll


95
Our God has boundless resources. The only limit is in us. Our asking, our thinking, our praying are too small. Our expectations are too limited.
- A. B. Simpson



93
Only in the Cross of Christ will we receive power when we are powerless. We will find strength when we are weak. We will experience hope when our situation is hopeless. Only in the Cross is there peace for our troubled hearts.
- Michael Youssef
92
When a truth is unfolded by God it most naturally becomes a power in man, who then finds himself able to believe.
- Watchman Nee
91
But have we Holy Spirit power - power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?
- Leonard Ravenhill
90
The world has lost the power to blush over its vice; the Church has lost her power to weep over it.
- Leonard Ravenhill
89
Dont pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.
- Corrie Ten Boom
88
The Holy Spirit is the gift of the Risen Christ. His anointing filling, empowering work is a baptism of love that gives power to make Jesus real to you and known to others.
- Winkie Pratney
87
Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little and they always fail. All giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence to be with them.
- Hudson Taylor
86
If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake.
- Alexander MacLaren
85
It is not that God is stingy and must be coaxed, for He "giveth liberally and upbraideth not." It is that we ourselves are so shallow and sinful that we need to tarry before Him until our restless natures can be stilled and the clamor of outside voices be deadened so that we can hear His voice. Such a state is not easily reached, and the men God uses have paid a price in wrestlings and prevailing prayer. But it is such men who rise from their knees confident of His power and go forth to speak with authority.
- Vance Havner
84
The Pentecostal power, when you sum it all up, is just more of God's love. If it does not bring more love, it is simply a counterfeit.
- William J. Seymour
83
Ability involves responsibility; power, to its last particle, is duty.
- Alexander MacLaren
82
There is a signature of wisdom and power impressed on the works of God, which evidently distinguishes them from the feeble imitations of men.--Not only the splendor of the sun, but the glimmering light of the glowworm, proclaims his glory.
- John Newton
81
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
- Blaise Pascal
80
The very idea of the power and right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.
- George Washington
79
It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
- Helen Keller
78
If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake.
- Alexander MacLaren
77
From the day of Pentecost until the present time, it has been necessary to be of one accord in prayer before the Spirit of God will work with mighty converting power.
- John R. Mott
76
God gives us power to bear all the sorrows of His making; but He does not give us power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is.
- Alexander MacLaren
75
I do not bid thee try the truth of thy grace by such a power as is peculiar to stronger grace, but by that power which will distinguish it from false grace.
- William Gurnall
74
A necessary pre-cursor of any great spiritual awakening is a spirit of deep humiliation growing out of a consciousness of sin, and fresh revelation of the holiness and power and glory of God.
- John R. Mott
73
In proportion as a church is holy, in that proportion will its testimony for Christ be powerful.
- Charles Spurgeon
71
If you look up into His face and say, "Yes, Lord, whatever it costs," at that moment He'll flood your Life with His presence and power.
- Alan Redpath
70
Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit's power might be manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and resources, and too little to the source of power.
- Hudson Taylor
68
Alan Redpath is no different as a man from what he was as a youngster. And the sins that beset him then beset him now were it not for a constant, continual dependence upon the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit to keep me.
- Alan Redpath
67
Power, no matter how well-intentioned, tends to cause suffering. Love, being vulnerable, absorbs it. In a point of convergence on a hill called Calvary, God renounced the one for the sake of the other.
- Philip Yancey
65
All Church power is, therefore, properly ministerial and administrative. Everything is to be done in the name of Christ, and in accordance with his directions.
- Charles Hodge
64
In order for the inner man to be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit, the children of God must discharge their responsibility. They need to yield specifically to the Lord, forsake every doubtful aspect in their life, be willing to obey fully God's will, and believe through prayer that He will flood their spirit with His power.
- Watchman Nee
63
They spend more time in analyzing, in collecting materials, and in hard thinking than on prayer, on seeking God's mind, and on waiting for the power from above.
- Watchman Nee
62
There is a place where God, through the power of the Holy Ghost, reigns supreme in our lives.
- Smith Wigglesworth
61
Our God is not an impotent God with one arm; but as He is slow to anger, so is He great in power.
- Abraham Wright
60
What we want is a rope let down from above--the strength of Him up there, let down into our souls.
- G.V. Wigram
58
All Christian power springs from communion with God and from the indwelling of divine grace.
- James H. Aughey
57
God means every Christian to be effective, to make a difference in the actual records and results of Christian work. God put each of us here to be a power. There is not one of us but is an essential wheel of the machinery and can accomplish all that God calls us to.
- A. B. Simpson
56
God knows what each one of us is dealing with. He knows our pressures. He knows our conflicts. And He has made a provision for each and every one of them. That provision is Himself in the person of the Holy Spirit, indwelling us and empowering us to respond rightly.
- Kay Arthur
54
True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will.
- Jonathan Edwards
52
If added power attends the united prayer of two or three, what mighty triumphs there will be when hundreds of thousands of consistent members of the Church are with one accord day by day making intercession for the extension of Christ's Kingdom.
- John R. Mott
51
It is because of the hasty and superficial conversation with God that the sense of sin is so weak and that no motives have power to help you to hate and flee from sin as you should.
- A. W. Tozer
50
Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe
