Quotation 148 :EVIL

Quotation 151 :EVIL
"I realize that many Christians have not been praying because they have not accepted the reality of war in which we find ourselves. There is a spiritual war mode that we must appropriate. It is an aggressive stance that we take against evil. It is governed"
Francis Frangipane


Quotation 152 :EVIL
"Too many Christians become bitter and angry in the conflict. If we descend into hatefulness, we have already lost the battle. We must cooperate with God in turning what was meant for evil into a greater good within us. This is why we bless those who would"

Quotation 157 :EVIL

Frederick W. Robertson


Quotation 158 :EVIL
"Evil is but the shadow, that, in this world, always accompanies good. You may have a world without shadow, but it will be a world without light - a mere dim, twilight world. If you would deepen the intensity of the light, you must be content to bring into"
Frederick W. Robertson


Quotation 159 :EVIL

Frederick W. Robertson


Quotation 160 :EVIL

Jonathan Edwards


Quotation 184 :SPIRITS
"What a world of wit is here packed together! I know not whether the sight doth more dismay or comfort me. It dismays me to think that here is so much I cannot know; it comforts me to think that this variety yields so good helps to know what I should. Bles"
Joseph Hall


Quotation 185 :SPIRITS
"If we with earnest effort could succeed To make our life one long, connected prayer, As lives of some, perhaps, have been and are; If, never leaving Thee, we have no need Our wandering spirits back again to lead Into Thy presence, but continued there Like"

Quotation 187 :SPIRITS

Stephen Charnock


Quotation 188 :SPIRITS
"Let us look at the world of fallen spirits, at Satan and his hosts. Surely here, if anywhere, are purposes veiled from the eye of God. Here are plans wrapped in thick folds of darkness, away from the sight of the Almighty. But no! God sees it all. The bla"

Quotation 191 :SPIRITS

Watchman Nee


Quotation 193 :SPIRITS

Watchman Nee


Quotation 194 :SPIRITS
"God can perform wonders, but so can evil spirits imitate! How crucial for us to distinguish what is of God from what is not of God. If one has not died to his emotional life but earnestly seeks sensational events, he will be easily duped."
