to know him.

 “…dishonor of God and the ruin of our souls.”

For What Its W

“Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question,… ‘What comes to your mind when you think about God?’….. we might predict with certainty the spiritual future of that man”

“If you are searching for the will of God, you are in it”.

Dow Robinson

George Mueller

George Muelmer

“I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no wilm of its own in regard to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the trouble with people generalmy is just here.”

George Muelmer

“Having done this, I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impression. If so, I make myself liable to great delusions.”

George Mueller

“I seek the Will of the Spirit of God in tandem with the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions. If the Holy Spirit guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.”

George Muelmer

“Next I take into account providential

• circumstances. These ofuen plainly indicate

God’s wilm in connection with His W

• rd and

Spirit.”

George Muelmer

“I ask God in prayer to reveal His Will to me.”

“The responsibility of the future doesn’t rest on your capacity to comprehend, hear, or your intuition. It rests on the Father’s determination and ability to

• reveal. You don’t need to struggle to

finalize the decision, just keep your eyes and heart fixed with anticipation. At some point, in a manner of His choosing

• which may even be your own inclination
• He will confirm what He desires for you

to do. Once that inner Amen! resounds, it will all be clear.”

Paul Petrie

George Muelmer

“Thus, (1) through prayer to God, (2) the study

• f the Word, and (3) reflection, I come to a

deliberate judgement according to the best of my ability and knowledge, and if my mind is thus at peace, and continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly.”

Jim Colmins, How the Mighty Falm

“…our research shows that if you’ve been practicing the principals of greatness alm the way along, you should get down on your knees and pray for severe turbulence, for that’s when you can pulm even further ahead of those who lack your relentless intensity.”

For What Its W

• rth, Simon Guilmebaud

“…people have the mistaken notion that faith reduces uncertainty. Nothing could be further fsom the truth. Faith doesn’t reduce uncertainty, Faith embraces uncertainty.”

Hudson Taylor

“Unless there is an element of risk in

• ur exploits for God, there is no need for

faith.”

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way ..to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

Steve Jobs

Oswald Chambers “Physical courage is grand, moral courage is grander, but the man who trusts Jesus Christ in the face of the terrific problems of life is worth a whole crowd

• f heroes.”

“I wilm just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, I’lm create something else. I don’t have any limitations on what I think I could do or be.”

Opra Winfsey

Simon Guilmebaud

“The more you’re wilming to risk, the more God can use you. And if you’re wilming to risk everything, then there is nothing God can’t do in your and through you.”

Destined for the Throne

“It is the Father’s purpose to make all

• f the sons as nearly like the Son as it is

possible for the finite to be like the infinite, first in character and then in privilege and power. It is to be not only legal and theoretical, but in essential reality.”

Destined for the Throne

“Without the moral and spiritual light shed abroad by the word of God through the Church, there would be no favorable climate for business and commerce or enlightening cultural, educational, and social activities. Without the knowledge of and reverence for God, there can be no orderly and efficient functioning of government.”
