Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life of the saint. Beware of anything that stops the offering up of prayer. “Pray without ceasing…”(1 Thessalonians 5:17) — maintain the childlike habit of offering up prayer in your heart to God all the time. #myutmost
As soon as you begin to live the life of faith in God, fascinating and physically gratifying possibilities will open up before you... if you are living the life of faith you will exercise your right to waive your rights, and let God make your choice for you. #myutmost
Jesus did teach that His disciple must make his relationship with God the dominating focus of his life, and to be cautiously carefree about everything else in comparison to that. (Matthew 6:33)

Tribulation is never a grand, highly welcomed event; but whatever it may be— whether exhausting, irritating, or simply causing some weakness— it is not able to “separate us from the love of Christ.” (Matthew 13:22). #myutmost | https://t.co/LKzjoNLmM7
You did not do anything to achieve your salvation, but you must do something to exhibit it. You must “work out your own salvation” which God has worked in you already (Phil 2:12). Are your speech, your thinking, and your emotions evidence that you are working it “out”? #myutmost
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love-gift. Take time...before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. #myutmost
Faith is a tremendously active principle that always puts Jesus Christ first. The life of faith says, “Lord, You have said it, it appears to be irrational, but I’m going to step out boldly, trusting in Your Word” (for example, see Matt 6:33). #myutmost | https://t.co/LKzjoNLmM7
If you waste your time in overactivity, instead of being immersed in the great fundamental truths of God’s redemption, then you will snap when the stress and strain do come. #myutmost | https://t.co/LKzjoNLmM7
The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of rules and regulations: it is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting His way with us. Blessed are… — Matthew 5:3-10

The most wonderful secret of living a holy life does not lie in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfect qualities of Jesus exhibit themselves in my human flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you…” (Colossians 1:27). #myutmost | https://t.co/LKzjoNLmM7
Many people begin coming to God once they stop being religious, because there is only one master of the human heart— Jesus Christ, not religion. #myutmost | https://t.co/LKzjoNLmM7
