As white snowflakes fall quietly and thickly on a winter day, answers to prayer will settle down upon you at every step you take, even to your dying day. The story of your life will be the story of prayer and answers to prayer.

Dieu, cependant, ne révèle sa volonté qu'à ceux qui s'engagent à la suivre, quel qu'en soit le prix.
Jamie Buckingham
Some people want to know God’s will for their lives so they can weigh in advance whether to do it.
God, however, reveals His will only to those who are committed to follow, whatever the cost.

Smith Wigglesworth
God's word is- 1. Supernatural in origin; 2. Eternal in duration; 3. Inexpressible in valour; 4. Infinite in scope; 5. Regenerative in power; 6. Infallible in authority; 7. Universal in application; 8. Inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down; pray it in; work it out; pass it on. The word of God changes a man until he becomes an Epistle of God.
Smith Wigglesworth
James H. Aughey
As every mercy is a drop obtained from the ocean of God's goodness, so every affliction is a drachm weighed out in the wisdom of God's providence.

Watchman Nee
In so obeying Christ as to disregard his natural affection, a believer's natural love suffers intensely. Such sorrow and pain becomes a practical cross to him. Deep are the heart wounds and many are the tears when one has to forfeit the one he loves.
Watchman Nee
Charles Spurgeon
Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time; but you cannot see it now; you must believe it. Honor God by trusting Him.
Charles Spurgeon
John MacArthur
Sinners still live with the illusion that they can make a judgment on Jesus Christ and avoid Him making a judgment on them… You judge Jesus wrongly, and He will judge you rightly… The question is not what will you do with Jesus, the question is when you see Him face-to-face, what will He do with you.
John MacArthur
Iain Duguid, Living in the Gap Between Promise and Reality, 1999, p. 102.
The Lord waits so long in His graciousness that people think He cannot judge, but when He does come in judgment, it is so decisive that it seems as if He cannot show mercy. For this is not the sudden anger of an irritable temper, easily inflamed but equally easily pacified. This is deliberate, measure wrath, following a full investigation of the facts. There can be no last-minute appeals or reprieves, for there is no higher court to whom appeal can be made, and no pertinent facts have been overlooked in reaching the verdict. So it was with Sodom and Gomorrah, and so it shall be at the end of history [see Luke 17:28-30].

Christ wrought out His perfect obedience as a man, through temptation, and by suffering.

As long as this deliberate refusal to understand things from above, even where such understanding is possible, continues, it is idle to talk of any final victory over materialism.

Many of those who once were so passionately in love with Christ now run about pursuing their own interests. They're burdened down with stress and problems, chasing after riches and the things of this world.

John Newton
It belongs to your calling of God as a minister, that you should have a taste of the various spiritual trials which are incident to the Lord's people, that thereby you may know how to speak a word in season to them that are weary; and it is likewise needful to keep you perpetually attentive to that important admonition, "Without Me ye can do nothing."
John Newton

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

The people of God may have to taste a little of the waters of death's dark river, but Christ went to the very bottom of it, and rose again, and is alive for evermore.

David Dickson
There is more stuff and substance of good in the Lord's promises than the sharpest sighted saint did or can perceive; for when we have followed the promise, to find out all the truth which is in it, we meet with a cloud of unsearchable riches, and are forced to leave it there.
David Dickson
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 112.
Some fear witnessing because they don’t feel confident enough in their persuasive powers or their ability to answer all imaginable objections to the gospel. But the power for evangelism is not in our ability; it is in His gospel. You may have never imagined that an unbeliever could actually be born again by hearing of Christ from your lips. But that’s not humility. It’s doubt, a denial of God’s blessing upon His gospel just because it is spoken by you. Don’t doubt the power of God to add His blessing upon your words when you speak of Christ.

Jonathan Leeman, Reverberation, Moody Publishers, 2011, p. 85-86.
Are deeds “necessary” for raising the dead and freeing the enslaved? From the standpoint of the Spirit’s work, no. From the standpoint of Christianity’s public credibility, generally yes. The Spirit’s work will produce evidence in our deeds. And every good deed becomes one more witness who testifies on behalf of the gospel’s truth and power.
Jonathan Leeman, Reverberation, Moody Publishers, 2011, p. 85-86.

Again, men tell us that our preaching should be positive and not negative, that we can preach the truth without attacking error. But if we follow that advice we shall have to close our Bible and desert its teachings. The New Testament is a polemic book almost from beginning to end… It is when men have felt compelled to take a stand against error that they have risen to the really great heights in the celebration of the truth.

Man was so engineered by God that the presence of the Creator within the creature is indispensable to His humanity.

God's mercy with a sinner is only equaled and perhaps outmatched by His patience with the saints, with you and me.

George Sweeting, Qui a dit cela ? Moody Press, 1995, p. 391.
More than a fourth of the Bible is predictive prophecy. Approximately one-third of it has yet to be fulfilled. Both the Old and New Testaments are full of promises about the return of Jesus Christ. Over 1,800 references appear in the Old Testament, and seventeen Old Testament books give prominence to this theme. Of the 260 chapters in the New Testament, there are more than 300 references to the Lord’s return – one out of every thirty verses. Twenty-three of the twenty-seven New Testament books refer to this great event. Three of the four other books are single-chapter letters written to individuals concerning a particular subject, and the fourth is Galatians, which does imply Christ’s coming again. For every prophecy on the first coming of Christ, there are eight on Christ’s second coming.
George Sweeting, Who Said That? Moody Press, 1995, p. 391.
Il veut vous bénir et répondre à vos prières car cela lui fait plaisir et le glorifie lorsque ses enfants portent beaucoup de fruits. La Bible affirme que si vous demandez quelque chose à Dieu, et que cela est conforme à sa volonté pour votre vie, c'est le désir de Dieu de vous le donner. (Jean 15:7-8)
Alors, comment les prières sont-elles exaucées ? Que devez-vous faire ? Je crois, sur la base de la parole de Dieu, que si vous suivez ces trois points simples, vos prières seront toujours exaucées.
Premièrement, vous devez croire que Dieu est un Dieu de l'impossible. Vous devez le connaître et croire qu'il est ce qu'il dit être à travers la Bible.
Deuxièmement, une fois que vous avez pris la décision de croire, demandez simplement à Dieu ce dont vous avez besoin. Dieu accorde souvent les demandes de notre cœur avant même que nous le demandions. Mais prier, demander à Dieu, est essentiel pour obtenir une réponse de Dieu.
Enfin, une fois que vous avez fait 1 et 2, faites simplement ce que Dieu vous dit de faire. Et c'est tout.
En parcourant la Bible, vous verrez que c'est de cette manière que toutes les prières sont exaucées.
Croyez Dieu, demandez-lui, et faites ce qu'il vous dit de faire. C'est aussi simple que cela.

God wants to answer your prayers.
He wants to bless you and answer your prayers because it pleases Him and it glorifies Him when his children bear much fruit. The Bible states that if you ask God anything, and it is in accordance with his will for your life, it is God’s desire to give it to you. (John 15:7-8)
So how are prayers answered? What are you supposed to do? I believe, based on the word of God, if you follow these three simple points, your prayers will always be answered.
First, you must believe that God is a God of the impossible. You must know Him and believe He is who He says He is through the scriptures.
Second, once you have made that decision to believe, just ask God for whatever you need. God often grants the requests of our heart even before we ask it. But praying, asking God, is essential to getting an answer from God.
Finally, once you have done 1 and 2, simply do whatever God tells you to do. And that’s it.
As you look through the Bible you will see this is the way all prayers are answered.
Believe God, ask God, and do what God tells you to do. It’s that simple.

We know the excitement of getting a present- we love to unwrap it to see what is inside. So it is with our children - they are gifts we unwrap for years as we discover the unique characters God has made them.
