Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them! ~ Moses

Meekness enables us to be led by the Spirit of God. ~ John Hagee

The nature of a narrow and malevolent spirit is so essentially incompatible with happiness as to render it inaccessible to the influences of the benignant God. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

God is the vital force or spirit which is all-pervading, all-embracing and, therefore, beyond human ken. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Burn God's words into your heart, His thoughts into your mind and His ways into your actions; and you'll have a Spirit-filled life. ~ Alisa Hope Wagner

Prayer is exhaling the spirit of man and inhaling the spirit of God. ~ Edwin Keith Thomson

Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him ... To love a holy God requires grace, grace strong enough to pierce our hardened hearts and awaken our moribund souls. ~ R.C. Sproul

Although, the flesh is weak, the Spirit of God is always willing, and He makes us able. ~ Monica Johnson

Lord, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love, with all my heart. With all my heart. ~ Eugene Roe

In Christ, for the first time, we see that in God himself there exists
within his inseparable unity
the distinction between the Father who gives and the Gift which is given (the Son), but only in the unity of the Holy Spirit. ~ Hans Urs Von Balthasar

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

I know God is in charge. Not me, I'm nothing. I wouldn't be anything except for the power of the spirit of God. ~ Billy Graham

I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation. ~ Phyllis Theroux

frThe Spirit comes gently and makes himself known by his fragrance. He is not felt as a burden for God is light, very light. Rays of light and knowledge stream before him as the Spirit approaches. The Spirit comes with the tenderness of a true friend to save, to heal, to teach, to counsel, to strengthen, and to console. ~ Cyril Of Jerusalem

She saw the myriad gods, and beyond God his own ineffable eternity; she saw that there were ranges of life beyond our present life, ranges of mind beyond our present mind and above these she saw the splendors of the spirit. ~ Sri Aurobindo

God gives us His spirit , while we give Him our bodies by fully submitting to Him and doing His will ~ Sunday Adelaja

A shepherd, in whom the spirit of God works, is more highly esteemed before God than the wisest and most potent in self-wit, without the divine dominion. ~ Jakob Bohme

You can spend all your life looking for things. The truth is that those things will elude you. Change your approach. Begin to seek God and you will see things running after you. ~ Theophilus Ajadi

The symbolic evidence of women's invisibility in the human race is most clear perhaps in her suppression, her camouflage, her negation even in language. Women are subsumed, excised, erased by male pronouns, by male terminology, by male prayers about brotherhood and brethren, even and always by exclusively male images of God. The tradition that will call God spirit, rock, key door, wind, and bird will never ever call God mother. So much for the creative womb of God; so much for "I am who am." So much for "Let us make human beings in our own image, male and female, let us make them." What kind of spirituality is that? To take the position that using two pronouns for the human race is not important in a culture that has thirty words for car, multiple words for flowers, and dozens of words for dog breeds is to say that women are not important. ~ Joan D. Chittister

Where there are no God, we would be in this glorious world with grateful hearts and no one to thank. ~ Christina Rossetti

Purity lives and derives its life solely from the Spirit of God. ~ Charles Caleb Colton

The main characteristic which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing, and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God's Word. ~ Oswald Chambers

God did not give you the spirit of cowardice. ~ Joseph Barber Lightfoot

God sent Jesus as an example to see if we could retain and maintain the Holy Spirit in human flesh. ~ Benny Hinn

In any spirit that isn't deformed there is the belief in God. In any spirit that is not deformed there isn't the belief in a particular God. ~ Fernando Pessoa

(I was) happily contended to be climbing the heights and the clouds by the brush method ... rendering the God-spirit in the mountains. ~ Marsden Hartley

What is most characteristically human is not guaranteed to us by our species or by our culture but given only in potential. A spiritual master once expressed it this way: A person must work to become human. What is most distinctly human in us is something more than the role we play in society and more than the conditioning, whether for good or bad, of our culture. It is our essential Self, which is our point of contact with Infinite Spirit. This Spirit is not to be understood as a metaphysical assertion requiring belief, but as something we can experience for ourselves. What if you, as a human being, represent the final result of a process in which this Spirit has evolved better and better reflectors of itself? If the human being is the most evolved carrier of the Creative Spirit – possessing conscious love, will, and creativity – then our humanity is the degree to which this physical and spiritual vehicle, and particularly our nervous system, can reflect or manifest Spirit. That which is most sacred in us, that which is deeper than our individual personality, is our connection to this Spirit, this Creative Power.

Whereas conventional religious belief has the tendency to anthropomorphize God/Spirit, this process consists of the human being becoming qualified by the attributes of God. It could be called the „sanctification" of the human being. Our human nature is realized through the understanding and awareness that the essential human Self is a reflection of Spiri ~ Kabir Edmund Helminski

We're immersed in the spirit of God all the time. We just don't notice. ~ Dan Millman

When I feel clumsy or lost, I remind myself that nature, including me, was created by a a far wiser mind than mine. There is something in the cosmos - God, Spirit, Consciousness, Life Itself, call It what you will - that created and orchestrates nature, and did a pretty good job of it. Nature might just know what It's doing. Even when I don't. ~ Jeffrey R. Anderson

To find this greater truth about God, Spirit, and the sacred, we must often set aside the limiting impressions from our childhood. In many instances these images of fear only serve to hold us back in our search for authentic spirituality ... Open up your mind and heart to a concept of Spirit who looks out for us, loves us, sheds light on our path, and wants nothing less for us than unconditional happiness. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. ~ Bono

And because his Spirit was wholly God, he is called God, and he is called man on account of his flesh. ~ Michael Servetus

Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen. ~ Marianne Williamson

Like people say - if you want to make God laugh, tell him you've got plans. ~ Terry Hayes

We are not here for the sake of possessions, or of power. Or of happiness, but we are here to transfigure the divine out of human spirit. ~ Walther Rathenau

It is, I think, this glamour, this magic, this incomparable keying up of the spirit in a time of mortal conflict, which constitute the pacifist's real problem--a problem still incompletely imagined and still quite unsolved. The causes of war are always falsely represented; its honour is dishonest and its glory meretricious, but the challenge to spiritual endurance, the intense sharpening of all the senses, the vitalising consciousness of common peril for a common end, remain to allure those boys and girls who have just reached the age when love and friendship and adventure call more persistently than at any later time. The glamour may be the mere delirium of fever, which as soon as war is over dies out and shows itself for the will-o'-the-wisp that it is, but while it lasts, no emotion known to man seems as yet to have quite the compelling power of this enlarged vitality. ~ Vera Brittain

God does everything through people who understand they're nothing. And God does nothing through those who think they're everything. ~ Tullian Tchividjian

Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point
a great crossroads in our life. From that point we either go more and more toward a slow, lazy, and useless Christian life, or we become more and more on fire, giving our utmost for His highest
our best for His glory. ~ Oswald Chambers

Fanning Court. God forbid. Teddy could no longer sit in the chair. He could no longer leave the bed, no longer do anything. He was approaching the end of his twilight, entering into the final darkness. Viola imagined the synapses in her father's brain flaring and dimming like the slow death of a star. Soon Teddy would burn out completely and implode and become a black hole. Viola was hazy on the subject of astrophysics, but she liked the image. ~ Kate Atkinson

When you are mindful of Spirit and connecting to the breath with an open heart, that is yoga. ~ Dashama Konah Gordon

The sacred jar of oil shall never run out. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita

American government was founded on a belief and a faith in God and in doing what is right and just. ~ Ginny Brown-Waite

Ye're my wife, Katherine. Ye promised before God to obey me. If I want to sleep with ye, I damned well will. ~ Mia Marlowe

Only from chaos does order come. The angry Fates bring death where they will, when war is king, says Enlil, storm god of the armies, and the tip of his crown rends the clouds above their heads. "Wheresoever I rule, death comes shambling after. So it has always been, is, and will be." ~ Janet Morris

The rain has held back for days and days, my God, in my arid heart. The horizon is fiercely naked---not the thinnest cover of a soft cloud, not the vaguest hint of a distant cool shower.

Send thy angry storm, dark with death, if it is thy wish, and with lashes of lightning startle the sky from end to end.

But call back, my lord, call back this pervading silent heat, still and keen and cruel, burning the heart with dire despair.

Let the cloud of grace bend low from above like the tearful look of the mother on the day of the father's wrath ~ Rabindranath Tagore

The reason God made February short a few days was because he knew that by the time people came to the end of it they would die if they had to stand one more blasted day. ~ Katherine Paterson

And what is the sea?" asked Will.
"The sea!" cried the miller. "Lord help us all, it is the greatest thing God made! ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Error has never approached my spirit. ~ Klemens Von Metternich

I am a slave in your palace. - Sultan Suleyman Khan, Suleyman the Magnificent, The Shadow of God on Earth. ~ P.J. Parker

Times have changed since George Herbert ... but the principle and spirit in which he ministered as a priest remains an inspiration and model for all priests. ~ Arthur Middleton

The reason I was so at peace in that room, I think, is that in it I remembered back before time and beyond space to the day when God in his glory made us and the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. By quieting our minds and keeping still, by praying less in words perhaps than in images, maybe most of all by just letting up on ourselves and letting go, I think we can begin to put ourselves back in touch with that glory and joy we come from and begin moving out of the shadows toward something more like light. ~ Frederick Buechner

The Holy Spirit has a sanctifying influence. The influence of the Holy Spirit tends towards sanctification, purity and holiness. Expect to live a life of greater purity, sanctification and holiness when under the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit. ~ Dag Heward-Mills

For I have learnt for a fact that nothing so effectively obtains, retains and regains grace, as that we should always be found not high-minded before God, but filled with holy fear. ~ Bernard Of Clairvaux

A chaos of mind and body - a time for weeping at sunsets and at the glamour of moonlight - a confusion and profusion of beliefs and hopes, in God, in Truth, in Love, and in Eternity - an ability to be transported by the beauty of physical objects - a heart to ache or swell- a joy so joyful and a sorrow so sorrowful that oceans could lie between them ... ~ T.H. White

A truly extraordinary work: vivid, passionate and utterly compelling. The Sound of One Hand Clapping is raw as a wound. It opens a world that is strange, brutal and poetic at once and ultimately achieves the kind of spirit-healing few novels do ~ Niall Williams

It was very big to think about everything and everywhere. Only God
could do that. ~ James Joyce

Brands are either built on reruns or coming attractions. The future has no road map while the past does. Creating a brand that blazes new trails can sometimes be bumpy but will also allow you to be the first to discover something new, something meaningful and something that makes others ask, "Why didn't we think of that?" Be very scared of "old tricks" and build a spirit of innovation. It's the "old tricks" that have the highest risk, not doing something bold. ~ David Brier

Whatever's most important to you is your god. If it's not the Rock Christ Jesus, then it's sand! ~ Raymond Berry

We 'have' all received on grace after another, but we only recognize the glory of God in this moment 'when we wake to the one grace after another'. ~ Ann Voskamp

I find that all my thoughts circle around God like the planets around the sun, and are as irresistibly attracted by Him. I would feel it to be the grossest sin if I were to oppose any resistance to this force. ~ C. G. Jung

The hallmark of the Renaissance was its holistic quality as all fields of art, engineering, science and culture shared the same exciting spirit and many of the same intellectual principles. ~ Joel Garreau

Humorists are not humorous twenty-four hours a day. In fact, when you get to know them well, they are often not humorous at all. They tend to be hypersensitive, taut, neurotic creatures driven by God know what obscure compulsion to earn their living the hard way. ~ Margaret Halsey

Clare is silent. Her pragmatism and her romantic feelings about Jesus and Mary are, at thirteen, almost equally balanced. A year ago she would have said God without hesitation. In ten years she will vote for determinism, and ten years after that Clare will believe that the universe is arbitrary, that if God exists he does not hear our prayers, that cause and effect are inescapable and brutal, but meaningless. And after that? I don't know. But right now Clare sits on the threshold of adolescence with her faith in one hand and her growing skepticism in the other, and all she can do is try to juggle them, or squeeze them together until they fuse. ~ Audrey Niffenegger

Don't despise little things that contain tiny miracles. Enjoy little actions! ~ Israelmore Ayivor

St Paul said it is better to marry than to burn, but my mother taught me it is better to burn than to marry. She wanted to be a nun. She hoped I would be a priest and saved to give me an education while my friends plaited rope and trailed after the plough.
I can't be a priest because although my heart is as loud as hers I can pretend no answering riot. I have shouted to God and the Virgin, but they have not shouted back and I'm not interested in the still small voice. Surely a god can meet passion with passion?
She says he can.
Then he should. ~ Jeanette Winterson

Deviation from the word of God is sentimentality and says 'you're right' to this one, and 'you're right' to that one, and the guy in the middle is an ass-hole. ~ Milton Rokeach

There's a strong message of divine righteousness in dictatorships. Every megalomaniac has to believe his actions are sanctioned by God. ~ Eric Gamalinda

God is more interested in what we are than in what we do. He looks for fruit; we try to produce works. ~ Chuck Smith

If you hate yourself and your desires, well, you know, God is your desires and God is your self. As long as you hate God, you'll never realize God. ~ Frederick Lenz

Power to do good is the true and lawful act of aspiring; for good thoughts (though God accept them), yet towards men are little better than good dreams, except they be put in act; and that cannot be without power and place, as the vantage and commanding ground. ~ John Locke

Never be limited by others' inability to think of you in terms big enough or dreams grand enough. Never allow yourself to define what is possible for you in your life by others' limited vision of what they believe is possible for them in theirs. ~ Judy M. Ford

I find that I spend a tremendous amount of time chasing the praises of men rather than sitting with the praises of God. The former is something I attempt to catch, the latter catches me. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
