Book Quotes

“Faith is something you decide to do, not something you feel like doing.” So”

― Neil T. Anderson

“The Basis of Temptation Because Adam sinned, every person is born into this world physically alive and spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1). Since from birth we had neither the presence of God nor the knowledge of His ways, we learned to live our lives independent of God. Rather than having our needs met through a living relationship with our loving heavenly Father, we sought to meet our own needs. We developed patterns of thought and habits of behavior which centered our interests on ourselves. When we were born again we became spiritually alive, but our self-centered flesh patterns and mental strongholds remained opposed to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Consequently we are still tempted to look to the world, the flesh, and the devil to meet our basic needs and carnal desires instead of looking to Christ, who promises to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Every temptation is an enticement to live independently of God. The power of temptation is directly related to the strength of the mental strongholds and the carnal desires which were developed when we learned to live independently of God. For example, if you were raised in a Christian home where dirty magazines and television programs of questionable moral value were not allowed, the power of sexual temptations in your life will not be as great as for someone who grew up exposed to pornographic materials. The person who was raised in an environment of immorality and sexual permissiveness will experience a greater struggle with sexual temptation after becoming a Christian simply because these mental strongholds were well-established before he was born again. You are less likely be tempted to commit some gross immorality if your legitimate needs to be loved and accepted were met by caring parents who also protected you from exposure to the values of this fallen world.”

“Believers have both the authority to do God’s will because of their position in Christ, and the power to do God’s will as long as they walk by the Spirit.”

― Neil T. Anderson

“Before we received Christ, we were slaves to sin. But because of Christ’s work on the cross, sin’s power over us has been broken. Satan has no right of ownership or authority over us. He is a defeated foe, but he is committed to keeping us from realizing that. He knows he can block your effectiveness as a Christian if he can deceive you into believing that you are nothing but a product of your past, subject to sin, prone to failure, and controlled by your habits.”

― Neil T. Anderson

“It’s up to you to choose whether you’re going to use your body, which includes your brain, for sin or for the sake of righteousness.”

― Neil T. Anderson

“It is not what we do that determines who we are. It is who we are that determines what we do.”

― Neil T. Anderson

“Eternal life is not something you get when you physically die; it is something you get the moment you are born again! “He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life” (1 John 5:12). Contrary to what Satan would like you to believe, he can’t ever take away your eternal life because he can’t take Jesus away from you, who promised never to leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).”

― Neil T. Anderson

“Proverbs 23:7 says, “As he thinks within himself, so he is.”

― Neil T. Anderson

“The only thing big about a demon is its mouth. Demons”

― Neil T. Anderson

“The father of lies can block your effectiveness as a Christian if he can deceive you into believing that you are nothing but a product of your past—subject to sin, prone to failure, and controlled by your habits.”

― Neil T. Anderson
