“It is because we know God’s will that we may say to Him: “God, we want You to do this thing, we are determined that You do it, You cannot but do it.”

“Many Christians are unaware how drastically the cross must work so that ultimately their natural power for living may be denied.”

“The glory which God had in the beginning, even the unapproachable glory of God, was also the Son's glory. The Father and the Son exist equally and are equal in power and possession.”

“Whenever man touches God's delegated authority he touches God within that person; sinning against delegated authority is sinning against God.”

“Only if we completely acknowledge that what man requires today is God's life: the quickening of the spirit: will we then perceive how vain is any work performed by ourselves.”

“Only those who are subject to authority can be authority.”

“power of the Holy Spirit is superabundant.”

“Emotion must go through the cross (Matt. 10.38-39) in order to destroy its fiery nature, with its confusion, and to subject it totally to the spirit. The cross aims to accord the spirit authority to rule over every activity of emotion.”

“Unless the believer offers his soul life to death, he shall cultivate that life, incur the displeasure of God, and miss the fruit of the Holy Spirit.”

“God knows no good resides in man; no flesh can please Him. It is corrupted beyond repair. Since it is so absolutely hopeless, how then can man please God after he has believed in His Son unless He gives him something new? Thank God. He has bestowed a new life, His untreated life, upon those who believe in the salvation of the Lord Jesus and receive Him as their personal Savior. This is called "regeneration" or "new birth." Though He cannot alter our flesh God gives us His life. Man's flesh remains as corrupt in those who are born anew as in those who are not. The flesh in a saint is the same as that in a sinner. In regeneration the flesh is not transformed. New birth exerts no good influence on the flesh. It remains as is. God does not impart His life to us to educate and train the flesh.”

“The first and foremost sign of new birth in anyone is that he knows God intuitively, for his spirit has been quickened.”

“Do we think because we have prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to reveal His mind and to work in us, that all shall accordingly be done? That assumption is not the truth; for unless we deliver to death specifically and daily our natural life, together with its power, wisdom, self, and sensation and unless we equally desire honestly in our mind and will to obey and rely upon the Holy Spirit, we shall not see Him actually performing the work.”

“Porque la autoridad de Dios representa a Dios mismo, mientras que su poder representa sus hechos.”

“Ofender la autoridad de Dios es una rebelión mucho más grave que la de ofender su santidad. Puesto que el pecado se comete en la esfera de la conducta, se lo perdona con más facilidad que la rebelión, pues ésta es una cuestión de principios. Fue el intento de Satanás de poner su trono sobre el trono de Dios lo que violó la autoridad de Dios; fue el principio de la vanagloria o exaltación propia.”

“How pitiful it must be when the flesh gains dominion. Sin has slain the spirit:”

“Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.”

“Es absolutamente imprescindible que tengamos un encuentro con la autoridad de Dios y que poseamos un conocimiento básico de lo que ella es.”

“No miremos al hombre sino sólo a la autoridad de que está revestido. No obedecemos al hombre sino a la autoridad de Dios en ese hombre.”

“Any action which lacks in obedience is a fall, and any act of disobedience is rebellion.”

“Tan sólo la obediencia honra completamente a Dios, pues solamente ella toma a Dios como su centro.”
