“The physician [your profession] who desires to be an acceptable co-worker with Christ will strive to become efficient in every feature of his work.  He will study diligently, that he may be well qualified for the responsibilities of his profession, and will constantly endeavor to reach a higher standard, seeking for increased knowledge, greater skill, and deeper discernment…. The physician [your profession] who is satisfied with a low standard of skill and knowledge not only belittles the medical profession, but does dishonor to Christ, the Chief Physician. “

"Success does not depend upon numbers.  God can deliver by few as well as by many.  He is honored not so much by the great numbers as by the character of those who serve Him."

"Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not."

~Luke 22:31,32~

"If, under trying circumstances, men of spiritual power, pressed beyond measure, become discouraged and desponding, if at times they see nothing desirable in life, that they should choose it, this is nothing strange or new.  Let all such remember that one of the mightiest of the prophets fled for this life before the rage of an infuriated woman.. A fugitive, weary and travel-worn, bitter disappointment crushing his spirits, he asked that he might die.  But it was when hope was gone and his lifework seemed threatened with defeat, that he learned one of the most precious lessons of his life.  In the hour of his greatest weakness he learned the need and the possibility of trusting God under circumstances the most forbidding."

~Prophets & Kings, p. 173~

"Much depends on the unceasing activity of those who are true and loyal, and for this reason Satan puts forth every possible effort to thwart the divine purpose to be wrought out through the obedient. He causes some to lose sight of their high and holy mission, and to become satisfied with the pleasures of this life.  He leads them to settle down at ease, or, for the sake of greater worldly advantages, to remove from places where they might be a power for good.  Others he causes to flee in discouragement from duty, because of opposition or persecution.  But all such are regarded by Heaven with tenderest pity. To every child of God whose voice the enemy of souls had succeeded in silencing, the question is addressed, 'What doest thou here?' I commissioned you to go into all the world and preach the gospel, to prepare for the day of God.  Why are you here? Who sent you?"

~Prophets & Kings, p. 171 & 172~

"Faith such as this is needed in the world today- faith that will lay hold on the promises of God's word and refuse to let go until Heaven hears. Faith such as this connects us closely with Heaven, and brings us strength for coping with the powers of darkness."

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." 

~Jeremiah 29:11~



Wed., December 5, 2012

"God cannon use men who, in time of peril, when the strength, courage, and influence of all are needed, are afraid to take a firm stand for the right. He calls for men who will do faithful battle against wrong, warring against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  It is to such as these that He will speak the words: 'Well done, good and faithful servant; ... enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.' (Matthew 25:23)"

"In the midst of prosperity lurks danger.Affliction and adversity may cause sorrow, but it is prosperity that is most dangerous to spiritual life. Unless the human subject is in constant submission to the will of God, unless he is sanctified by the truth, prosperity will surely arouse the natural inclination to presumption."

~Prophets & Kings, p. 59 & 60~

"When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed.  Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.  Then it was said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them.' The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.  Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negev.  Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.  He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him."

~Psalm 126~

"The secret to success is the union of divine power with human effort.  Those who achieve the greatest results are those who rely most implicitly upon the Almighty Arm.  The man who commanded, 'Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon, is a man who for hours lay prostrate upon the earth in prayer in the camp at Gilgal.  The men of prayer are the men of power."

~Patriarchs & Prophets, p. 509~
