God S Mysteries Quotes

Never you fight a man that knows and understand the mysteries about God. ~ Ikechukwu Izuakor

The command "Be ye prfect" is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He said (in the Bible) that we were "gods" and he is going to make good his words. He will make us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature ... a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly. ~ C.S. Lewis

I only hope that for right now, you remember that there is no place for hate in a happy life. I don't care who you are, where you come from or what God you believe in. I can guarantee you that if you hate, you will never achieve true happiness. ~ A.S. King

Christ makes Heaven the standard for God's will be done on Earth. What a high ideal is this! What power it would take to bring such a thing about! Nothing short of the Kingdom of God pulling down strongholds, overthrowing bastions of deeply entrenched sin, and then conquering this present world in such a way as to establish righteousness – nothing short of such things as these can meet the standard that Christ sets before us. ~ Geoff Banister

No one preached to me ... No one had to ... I wouldn't have listened anyway. I became a believer from a direct encounter with an answered prayer. I came face to face with God and all his power in a tiny bathroom in Washington. ~ Jacci Mendelsohn

God's Word teaches a very hard, disturbing truth. Those who neglect the poor and the oppressed are really not God's people at all - no matter how frequently they practice their religious rituals nor how orthodox are their creeds and confessions. ~ Ronald J. Sider

God has arranged strange ways for some of us to find him. Sometimes He brings us on long physical journeys; sometimes He leaves us at home and makes the journey internal. Yours has been both. You have gone a long way and struggled a great deal, but I can see from your eyes that it was not for nothing. ~ Abigail J. Hartman

If a mother is mourning not for what she has lost but for what her dead child has lost, it is a comfort to believe that the child has not lost the end for which it was created. And it is a comfort to believe that she herself, in losing her chief or only natural happiness, has not lost a greater thing, that she may still hope to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever." A comfort to the God-aimed, eternal spirit within her. But not to her motherhood. The specifically maternal happiness must be written off. Never, in any place or time, will she have her son on her knees, or bathe him, or tell him a story, or plan for his future, or see her grandchild. ~ C.S. Lewis

Looking for God-or Heaven-by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters ... ~ C.S. Lewis

You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are. ~ Shannon L. Alder

For He (God) seems to do nothing of himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures. ~ C.S. Lewis

Love ... is a deep unity maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both parents ask, and receive, from God. ~ C.S. Lewis

I believe that God is carrying us whether we know it or not and is always present. I love what C.S. Lewis said - "You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body." ~ Randall Wallace

In order to cease our striving, we must transfer our trust away from our own abilities, our own accomplishments, our own strength, and place it on His provision. ~ Charles R. Swindoll

One of your most ancient writers, a historian named Herodotus, tells of a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: in one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns. The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. "You will not succeed," they told him. "No one can." To which the thief replied, "I have a year, and who knows what might happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing. ~ Jerry Pournelle

God can only work through those who have totally identified themselves with His will and purpose. ~ Sunday Adelaja

There is a story about a schoolboy who was asked what he thought God was like. He replied that, as far as he could make out, God was 'the sort of person who is always snooping around to see if anyone is enjoying himself and then trying to stop it.' ~ C.S. Lewis

God is not in the vastness of greatness. He is hid in the vastness of smallness . He is not in the general. He is in the particular. ~ Pearl S. Buck

He's for you and wants to help you be the person He created you to be. ~ Craig Groeschel

When you are convinced that everything that happens is the will of God, what is there to do but wait until God has mercy? ~ Maaza Mengiste

Turning something over to the Holy Spirit is a leap of faith that lets go of attempting to control outcomes. The core of alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia, smoking and a host of things the world calls addictions is control. The little willingness the Holy Spirit asks is the key to letting go of the attempt to manage the body and the world, which is the insane attempt to maintain a self-concept image that God did not create. An idea to contemplate from the Course is this: "Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world." The requirement is to change your thinking, not to focus on behavior and form. Behavior flows from thought, and transformation of the mind is synonymous with changing thought patterns from ego-based to Spirit-based. ~ David Hoffmeister

Bridge-players tell me that there must be some money on the game 'or else people won't take it seriously'. Apparently it's like that. Your bid - for God or no God, for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity - will not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. And you will never discover how serious it was until the stakes are raised horribly high, until you find that you are playing not for counters or for sixpences but for every penny you have in the world. ~ C.S. Lewis

God's strength makes us strong; His comfort comforts us. With Him, we no longer run; we rest. ~ Dillon Burroughs

Humility is a virtue that one can find, in which God in heaven rejoices ,and in His love he enfolds you, close to his heart He does bind. ~ Henrietta Newton Martin

God doesn't understand you killing innocent men. God doesn't understand. I don't understand and I don't want to understand. ~ S.A. David

We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito. ~ C.S. Lewis

Figure two-, three-hundred-kilometer-an-hour winds, lightning, torrential rains. You're far enough inland to avoid the three-kilometer-high tsunami." "Basic wrath of God package, minus drowning, ~ James S.A. Corey

When I go running through the forest on hot days, if I stop for any reason, in that very moment mosquitoes will attack me. If I keep moving, they do not bother me. This motivates me to continue without resting. Imagine how wonderful it would be if every time we stopped being active in life the Universe would send us a signal that would push us to carry on. Guess what, it does. When the life we lead does not align with our passions, depression bites at us so we will change our ways. If we eat poorly and live sedentary, we are often afflicted with a serious health condition. We do not get sick, or become ill so that we can blame God, curse our genetics, or give up on life. These conditions arise to motivate us so we will correct our errors and clean up our mistakes. The reason why we are confronted with failures on our mission to obtain happiness is not so we can dwell in misery, but rather for us to reshape our desires and go after what we are destined to succeed with. The Universe is working in our favor, not against us. It is okay to rest at times, but if we do not want to get bit by misfortunes, then we must remain active in our pursuit of a better life. ~ Jesse J. Jacoby

Prayer is a perfect harmony with God. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita

The thing you don't realize, my dear girl, is that I have been forced by the economic realities to start taking publishing very seriously. For example, it has been brought to my attention that our ability to continue to pay the hordes of people employed by M&S (God knows how many mouths have to be fed) depends directly on the number of copies of your new book [Life Before Man] that we are able to sell between September and Christmas. In past I have been able to treat this whole thing as a fun game. I have never been troubled by the cavalier explanations about lost manuscripts and fuck-ups of various sorts. Now I have learned that this is a deadly serious game. I don't laugh at jokes about the Canadian postal service. I cry. (in a letter to author Margaret Atwood, dated February, 1979) ~ Jack McClelland

With deep emotion, genuine poise, and true dignity, Reverend Mrs. Ada Slaton Bonds became the first lady of the cloth in the Louisiana Presbytery. ~ Reverend Loyce S. Estes, Cumberland Presbyterian

You are distinguished in life by your ability to recognize and follow God`s voice on daily basis. ~ Sunday Adelaja

Citing C. S. Lewis, Rachael Givens writes, "God allows spiritual peaks to subside into (often extensive) troughs in order [to have] 'servants who can finally become Sons,' 'stand[ing] up on [their] own legs - to carry out from the will alone duties which have lost all relish . . . growing into the sort of creature He wants [them] to be.' " [12] ~ Terryl L. Givens

The causes of this distribution I do not know; but from our present point of view it ought to be clear that the real problem is not why some humble pious believing people suffer, but why some do not. Our Lord Himself, it will be remembered, explained the salvation of those who are fortunate in this world only by referring to the unsearchable omnipotence of God. ~ C.S. Lewis

Is it ever acceptable to be angry at God? I would suggest that it is not only acceptable, it may be one of the hallmarks of a truly religious person. It puts honesty ahead of flattery. ~ Harold S. Kushner

if there is a light then i am going to
swallow it. if there is a god then
i'm going to make him cry. ~ S. Osborn

God's love doesn't rejoice over the other people's mistakes and weaknesses. ~ Euginia Herlihy

The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about. ~ C.S. Lewis

Let God grow in you. Hear his voice in your need. Let Jesus resurrect you right now, in this life, even before you're done dying. Let him put your spirit back in your hungry body. ~ Adam S. Miller

Never allow anyone to destroy God's divine purpose within you through their opinion. ~ Prophetess Dina Rolle

The average person thinks that the purpose of religion is to give us a list of rules and techniques or to frame a way of life that helps us to be more loving, forgiving, patient, caring, and generous. Of course, there is plenty of this in the Bible. Like Moses, Jesus summarized the whole law in just those terms: loving God and neighbor. However, as crucial as the law remains as the revelation of God's moral will, it is different from the revelation of God's saving will. We are called to love God and neighbor, but that is not the gospel. Christ need not have died on a cross for us to know that we should be better people. It is not that moral exhortations are wrong, but they do not have any power to bring about the kind of world that they command. These exhortations and directions may be good. If they come from the Word of God, they are in fact perfect. But they are not the gospel. ~ Michael S. Horton

It is still through the foolishness of preaching that God gives repentance and faith. ~ Michael S. Horton

What God does for us, He does in us. ~ C.S. Lewis

Though we may not necessarily forfeit our lives in service to our God, we can certainly demonstrate our love for Him by how well we serve Him. ~ Thomas S. Monson

Be confident because you are a child of God. Be humble because everyone else is, too. ~ Melton S. Davis

Life has a way of taking you past your wants and hopes. Instead, it drops you in front of what you need. ~ Shannon L. Alder

Let us not question whether God is there; let us praise Him that He is there. ~ Dillon Burroughs

You don't believe He knows what's best for you: that rest will make you more productive and more spiritually healthy. ~ Craig Groeschel

My views as an individual ought not to be confused with my views as a scientist - the minute you try to mingle God and science, you get into trouble. Metaphysics has its place, and science has its place; don't mix the two. ~ Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
