—Cicero

You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

He has given us His word; He has placed Himself at our disposal in response to believing prayer; He has made available to us the infinite moral power of His Holy Spirit to enable us to do His will here on earth. There is no excuse for our acting like timid weaklings.

Christianity without the atoning blood is a Christianity without mercy for the sinner, without settled peace for the conscience, without genuine forgiveness, without justification, without cleansing, without power. It is not Christianity, but the devil’s own counterfeit.

—R. A. Torrey

—D. L. Moody

If our sermons are going to reach the hearts and consciences of the people, we must be in much prayer to God, that there may be power with the Word.

—D. L. Moody

His commands are always accompanied by power to obey.
