He may use clarity of speech, but he must be a person who knows his message. He must know what God has in His mind in the Spirit, not in the letter. He is there as a vessel of honor, God's mouthpiece; therefore, he stands in the presence of God, and God speaks through him and uses him. We must be the mouthpiece of God, not by letter, but by the Spirit, and we must be so in the will of God that He will rejoice over us with singing (Zephaniah3:17)."

91) "We are not to use liberty simply because we have it to use, but we are to let the liberty of the Spirit use us."

Other Quotes

1) "Every man is as full of the Holy Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be." (Tozer)

2) "I find it most intriguing to contemplate the fact that while men are considering what place to give Jesus Christ in history, He has already decided what place to give them in eternity." (Leonard Ravenhill)

3) "No man is greater than his prayer life." (Leonard Ravenhill)

4) "Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?" (Leonard Ravenhill's tombstone)

5) "We have been deluded into believing that there are two kinds of war, physical and spiritual, but there is only war.... Lucifer has bewitched Christians into accepting a subtle lie that has huge consequences. We say the Christian life is like a war. It sounds innocent, but it casts a disastrous symbolism to something that is desperately real. If we are in something like a war, then the bible becomes something like the word of God, and we face something like an attack, and we put on something like the armor of God.... Our methods and traditions have helped the devil create an entire generation that is informed but not transformed." (Evangelist Mario Murillo)

6) "Christianity did not come to the world to apologize for its existence or to beg a place to live. It came as heaven's champion: it has the champion soul. "It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Gen. 3:15). That champion consciousness is in the soul of the Christian. Being born of God, he is champion of the Son of God and a demonstration His salvation. He is the champion of God. He cannot be anything else. 'As he is so are we in this world.' (1Jn. 4:17).... I fear sometimes that we moderns somehow have lost the spirit of original Christianity. We have lost the overcoming of it. We have lost the smash of it. We are begging the devil for a place in the world, apologizing for our faith in God, trying to conform our religion to the mind of the world." (John G. Lake)

7) "We are only as victorious as we want to be. Lack of inner victory cannot be blamed on anyone but ourselves. Each man has his own measuring cup and measures out the quantity of victory he desires. Beyond that, for some perverse reason, we will not stretch ourselves. Today, the message of victory is being misrepresented, cheapened, and diluted by Christians who are content with lowered standards and limited victory because in their hearts, they do not really want victory." (China Missionary Arthur Matthews)
