David Devenish on Rob Rufus and the Anointing

"Anointing is a transferrable, tangible thing and I feel that Rob's visit to us during these days is just like it was when John Wimber came a few years ago and so on. It is for us to take hold of what is a TANGIBLE anointing for us to take across to where we go and believe in faith that we've got it".

Rob Rufus on the Book of Romans

"Roamns is not a book comparing righteousness and unrighteous living, but about the gift of righteousness versus self-righteousness".

Rob Rufus - "Self-Righteousness vs the Gift of Righteousness" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 9th December 2007.

Rob Rufus on Conciousness of Sin

"If you are still concious of sin then you are condemned by it and have a legalistic tendancy still".

Smith Wigglesworth on God's people

"It is the people of God that He will use to make the world know that there is a God."

Smith Wigglesworth - "The Confidence that we have in Him" - Sermon, August 1914 - from "Smith Wigglesworth - the Complete Collection of his Life and Teachings"- Roberts Liardon, p14.

Jack Hayford on Tongues

"It began to dawn on me that, given an environment where the Word of God was foundational and the Person of Christ the focus, the Holy Spirit could be trusted to do both-enlighten the intelligence and ignite the emotions. I soon discovered that to allow him that much space necessitates more a surrender of my senseless fears than a surrender of sensible control. God is not asking any of us to abandon reason or succumb to some euphoric feeling. He is, however, calling us to trust him-enough to give him control."

Jack Hayford quoted in Beginner's Guide to Spiritual Gifts, Sam Storms, p. 157.

Ern Baxter on "The Flesh".

“The flesh morally considered is the tendency in our nature to self-gratifying behaviour. It’s not somebody else living in you – it is you behaving in a self gratifying manner”.

Ern Baxter – “Decline and Death of the Head and Shoulders Man” – King and His Army Series – Lakes Bible Week 1975

Bob Mumford on Ultimate Triumph

"God's plan for the earth is like a huge bulldozer that keeps on moving - crushing, working, plowing and moving until ... His ultimate goals and plans are established in the earth".

Bob Mumford - "The Prophetic Voice" - New Wine Magazine February 1981 - CGM Publishing - (p29)

Rob Rufus on Pharisees and Church

"Aren't you tired of church being a Mask Ball? Some people attack everything because they are afraid of control - of losing it! People who have been hurt by Pharisees in the past will take off their masks very slowly when they feel they are in a safe, secure environment of grace. But if a Pharisee comes in and rubbishes the prophecy they brought or the step of faith they made then that mask will go back on for a very VERY long time. DON'T LET THE PHARISEES RAPE YOUR PEOPLE. Don't be nice to the Pharisees! Jesus wasn't!".

Rob Rufus on Resurrection

"Resurrection is more than a doctrine - but victory of life!".

Rob Rufus - "Pharisees and Legalists" - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Wednesday 24th- Hong Kong, October 2007

Rob Rufus on Legalism, Anger and Grace

"If you don't get angry with legalists then you haven't seen grace".

Rob Rufus - "Pharisees and Legalists" - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Wednesday 24th- Hong Kong, October 2007

Rob Rufus on Pharisees and Prophets

"The Pharisees don't really know God so are uncomfortable when His glory shows up and so will try and make you look stupid with words of "wisdom" and the voice of reason. Pharisees will shoot arrows of witchcraft into the open hearts of prophets and so prophets have begun to close their hearts to protect themselves. But they can't hear God as well when they do that!".

Rob Rufus - "Pharisees and Legalists" - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Wednesday 24th- Hong Kong, October 2007

Rob Rufus on True Expectations

"If you lose heart you will set out to lower the Word of God to your experience but God wants us to raise our expectations to the promise of His Spirit".

Rob Rufus - "Pharisees and Legalists" - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Wednesday 24th- Hong Kong, October 2007

Rob Rufus on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

"We have no gifts of the Spirit - not one -but the One inside us has all gifts - miracles, healings, utterance gifts - tongues and prophecy. A river of life streaming from within us! You can have all nine fruits of the Spirit so why not all nine gifts of the Spirit? The fruit of the Spirit are not your fruit just as the gifts of the Spirit are not your gifts!".

Rob Rufus - "Pharisees and Legalists" - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Wednesday 24th- Hong Kong, October 2007

Rob Rufus on the Flesh

"Flesh" has 12-13 different interpretations in the Bible and depends on the context. The NIV translates "flesh" as "sinful nature" and it is a misinterpretation. In the context of Galatians - "flesh" means "human effort under law" as opposed to "resting in grace".

Rob Rufus - "Pharisees and Legalists" - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Wednesday 24th- Hong Kong, October 2007

Rob Rufus on Truly Understanding Grace

"Jesus did not come to make immoral people moral but dead people live".

Rob Rufus - Introductory Remarks - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Tuesday 23rd - Hong Kong, October 2007.

Rob Rufus on Faith and Healing

"Thinking won't raise the dead - only drinking will. The bigger the miracle required the more we must dial down on the flesh and let Him dial up His power".

Rob Rufus - Introductory Remarks - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Tuesday 23rd - Hong Kong, October 2007.

Rob Rufus on Knowledge and Experience

"You can know the whole Bible but if you don't have divine encounters then you are nothing but a walking Pharisee".

Rob Rufus - Introductory Remarks - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Tuesday 23rd - Hong Kong, October 2007.

Rob Rufus on Glory and True Unity

"Unity doesn't bring the glory - the glory brings unity".

Rob Rufus - Introductory Remarks - "Grace and Glory Conference" - Tuesday 23rd - Hong Kong, October 2007.

Terry Virgo on True Preaching

"Holy Spirit-inspired preaching brings about an encounter with God that demands a verdict and produces a changed life based on revelation, faith and love, not cold obedience to external rules".

Mark Stibbe on the battle for the church

"The battle is on for the church to really believe the Bible, the Word of God. The battle is on to believe that God still saves, heals and delivers today. The battle is on for the Gospel - for the church to guard and proclaim the timeless truth of the finished work of the Cross. The battle is on and the battle is fierce, but in the midst of all the compromise and deception God is raising up a truly apostolic church. This church is the church through which the King of kings is going to minister his life-changing touch in ever-increasing measure.

This church is the church through which revival will come to the nations."

Mark Stibbe - "One Touch from the King" - Authentic, 1997, p94

Rick Joyner on the "Spirit of Religion"

"For some people it seems easier to "die for the Lord" than to live for Him. Those who have a perverted understanding of the Cross glory more in death than they do in life. They fail to see that the point of the Cross is resurrection, not the grave".

Rick Joyner - "Combating the Spirit of Religion" in "Freedom from the Religious Spirit" - C Peter Wagner (ed) - Regal Books, California (2005) - (pp44-45).

Rob Rufus on Foundations in Church Life

"Foundations will either facilitate or frustrate the moving of the Spirit in the local church".

Rob Rufus - "Authorised/Unauthorised Fire" - City Church International, Hong Kong - 22/09/04.

Gordon Fee on Normal Church Life

"A visible charismatic dimension of life in the Spirit was the normal experience of Paul's churches".

Gordon Fee - "Paul, the Spirit and the People of God" - Hodders (1996) - (p173).

David Mansell on Angelic Appearances at the Dales Bible Week 1977The same phenomenon occured at the Dales Bible Week in 1977

"The same phenomenon (angelic singing) occured at the Dales Bible Week in 1977. On several evenings after the meeting was over and the auditorium vacated and locked up for the night, heavenly singing was heard coming from the building at two or three o clock in the morning. This was not only reported by those on site; people living in the houses near the site complained about the singing in the early hours of the morning!

During the same week there were several angelic appearances, particularly to the young. One six-year old boy lost in the crowd and anxiously awaited by his parents suddenly turned up full of smiles. When asked how he found his way, he replied 'Oh a nice ghost in a shiny coat showed me the way'.

During a time of testimony another lad of six was asked what he enjoyed most about the Bible Week. He replied; "I liked it best when all the angels came and flew around the children's meeting playing their trumpets and praising God".

David Mansell - "A Radical Goal for Radical Christians" in "Revive Us Again!" edited by David Matthew - Harvesttime (1990) - (pp101-102).

Rob Rufus on the REAL Suicide Bombers

"Suicide Bombers are not trying to be liked by society. They want to disturb society. That's the counterfeit but God wants to wrap glory bombs of the power of God around us and He wants us to run into the secular world, the media world and let it off".

Rob Rufus on Considering Personal Life

"Before you know it you will be in your 50's and 60's! And you are going to have to look back and say what investments, what statements, what priorities, what adjustments, what Divine Encounters did I make to keep me accurately and precisely razor-like focused in my call in the will of God? Did I sell out for convinience or did I come as a prophetic voice in my generation and make a difference in my generation? That is the issue God is addressing in this generation!".

Rob Rufus - "Mobilise Main Session" at Together on a Mission 2007 in Brighton DVD.

David Devenish on Planting New Churches

"How can we build a strong foundation when there isn't the power of God there right from the start? On that we cannot compromise!".

David Devenish - "The Ephesus Mission: A Pattern for World Evangelisation" - Together on a Mission Conference 2007 at Brighton.

Rob Rufus on what the Kingdom of God is about

"Your Kingdom is not about knowing concepts and bible academics and cerebral information but Your Kingdom is about divine encounters that translate into doing the ministry of the Lord Jesus".

Rob Rufus - "Knowing the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday September 23rd 2007.

Ern Baxter on Authentic Evangelism of Nations

"I believe God's plan for the salvation of the nations not only involves the bringing of men and women into the Kingdom of God but the stemming of ungodliness and the bringing of kingdom principles into the nation. I believe His plan is to go into a country with a kind of spiritual contingent that will unitedly bind the Strongman and blast that nation for God leaving behind evangelism by example - a witnessing community".

Ern Baxter - "Evangelism by Example" - New Wine Magazine - November 1977 - CGM Ministries - (p27).

Ern Baxter on Authentic Evangelism

"The greatest force in evangelism is not the gimmicks and all that goes with it in modern day evangelism; the greatest force is to realise that man's souls are hell-bound by a satanic power that cannot be broken by evangelistic gimmicks and evangelistic meetings but can only be broken by the intercessory prayer and authoratative attack and assault of God's people who break Satan's power over unbelieving men".

Ern Baxter - "Evangelism by Example" - New Wine Magazine - November 1977 - CGM Ministries - (p27).

Rob Rufus on Together on a Mission 2007

Rob Rufus on Condemnation

"Condemnation is a lie from the devil - if you believe that lie even though there is NO condemnation, then condemnation will become an illegitimate reality in your life because you lend credibility to a lie".

Rob Rufus - "Knowing the Person of the Holy Spirit - His Names, Titles and Operations - 2" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 16th September 2007.

Rob Rufus on Being Filled with the Holy Spirit

"(Ephesians 5:18) - Present tense! "Be BEING filled!". It is no use being baptised in the Spirit at the end of the Second World War and spoke in tongues for 3 minutes! Be BEING filled with the Holy Spirit. Many think of an empty glass being filled with water - that is static and boring! That isn't what the Greek is saying! "I'm half full now I am full".

"The language is of a big sail of a yacht being FILLED with wind! Christians in a move of the Spirit of God can sit motionless! But others lives are moving forward and being empowered! God wants to bless but they need their sail up - to be BEING filled! The sail is faith that because of the grace of God He can't help Himself but bless us!".

Rob Rufus on Going Into the Land

"We have crossed the Jordan and we are going in! If you are legalistic and stay on the wrong side of the Jordan, your manna is drying up and it's tough! We are no longer wandering in the wilderness eating manna, going around and around mountains! We have replaced desert with vineyards we never sowed, houses we didn't build, land we didn't buy - and milk and honey is ours now!".

Rob Rufus on the True Church

"The Church in it's purest form was birthed by God in a state of supernatural drunkenness, liberty and freedom and they never were more in the plan, will and pattern of God drunk in the Holy Spirit. As the Church got more and more sober and intellectual and cerebral and intellectual, the Church got more and more out of the pattern and the will of God".

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Israel and the End Times

"It means the bulk of the Jews, the Jews as a whole ... it does meanthat those who have Jewish ancestors and those who cling persistently to the Jews religion will as a whole have their eyes opened. The hardness will be removed and they will believe and enter the Christian church".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 11 - 'To God's Glory'" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1998) - (p185).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Israel and the End Times

"As the fullness of the Jews means the Jews as a nation, as a whole, so the fullness of the Gentiles means exactly the same thing, the Gentiles in general. The Gentile "world" as it were will have to come in and when that has happened, the same is going to happen to the Jews".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 11 - 'To God's Glory'" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1998) - (p181).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Romans 11

"This is one of the most remarkable prophecies of the Bible".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 11 - 'To God's Glory'" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1998) - (p167).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Israel and the End Times

"There never will be two churches - there will never even be two divisions in the Christian church. The Christian church is one and one only. It takes the same grace of God to convert a Jew as a Gentile and the Gentile as a Jew and they will share the same blessings, they are all joint-heirs of exactly the same promises and of the same blessed hope".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 11 - 'To God's Glory'" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1998) - (p109).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Israel and the End Times

"Now my argument is that the Apostle is concerned in the whole of this chapter with the Jews as a "nation" and he is going to substantiate his statement that a day is coming when, as a whole, they will come in".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 11 - 'To God's Glory'" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1998) - (p98).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Israel

"It is part of that glorious hope that we have as children of God. I do not mean the Second Coming. I mean something that is going to be witnessed before the Lord returns. What is it? The bulk of the nation of Israel will be converted to Christ and come into the church. What will this lead to? A confirmation of our faith! A tremendous proof of the inspiration of Scripture!".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 11 - 'To God's Glory'" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1998) - (p91).

R T Kendall on Balance in Doctrine and Experience

"If it is true that if our doctrine of salvation is not accused or being antinomian, it is likely we have not really preached justification, then I think it is also true that if our doctrine of the immediate witness of the Spirit is not accused of being charismatic, we probably have not really held to a robust doctrine of the Spirit".

Dr R T Kendall - "John Cotton - First English Calvinist?" - in "Puritan Experiment in the New World" - Westminster Conference Papers - (1976).

Donald Gee on the Gift of Tongues

"The gift of tongues consisted of the power of more or less ecstatic speech in languages with which the speaker was not naturally familiar".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p57).

Donald Gee on Purpose of Spiritual Gifts

"The ultimate and full purpose of spiritual gifts thus stands revealed. They are to bring men face to face with the reality of the Invisible God. To make the Church realise that the Holy Spirit is ever present and all true ministry springs from Him who is her only source of life and power and to make the unbeliever equally concious that God cannot be forgotten and that sin dare not be trifled with".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p19).

Donald Gee on Cessationism

"One word here; it is surely a serious thing to accuse God of withdrawing these gifts if the real fact is that the church lost them through lukewarmness".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p10).

Donald Gee on Cessationism

"Are spiritual gifts for today? Why not? The burden of proof surely lies with those who say "No" rather than those who say "Yes". There is nothing in Scripture, reason or experience to make us believe that the gifts of the Spirit are not for today - every one of them".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p9).

Donald Gee on Defining Prophecy

"It is impossible to seperate true prophesying from the idea of definite inspiration. The prophet spoke more from the impulse of a sudden revelation at the moment".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p42).

Donald Gee on Prophecy NOT Preaching

"It will at least help to define our study if we immediately dismiss the idea that Scriptural "prophesying" is nothing more than ordinary preaching".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p42).

Donald Gee on Cessationism and Prophecy

"To silence the gift of prophecy is to silence what has in the past and what may we believe often be again the very expression of the emotion of God, the fullness of the Divine feeling finding at least some expression through inadequate human channels".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p48).

Donald Gee on the Gift of Prophecy

"It is sure to cost something to stand for the real gift of prophecy and to give it it's lawful place in our assemblies today but unless we do so we are persuaded that one very big purpose of God in the "latter rain" outpouring of the Spirit will be frustrated".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p46).

Donald Gee on the Protection of Spiritual Gifts

"One of the greatest responsibilities entrusted to us today in the preservation of the actual exercise of these gifts of inspired utterance of these gifts of inspired utterance in the church. We emphasise "actual exercise" because it is so very easy to stand for those things theoretically and doctrinally without actually manifesting them".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p46).

Donald Gee on Prophecy and Church

"(Prophecy) can sweep the assembly up into heights of glory and enthusiasm, can melt with tenderness and make to tremble with awe".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p46).

Donald Gee on Prophesying

"Prophesying is also needed to correct the equal dangers of a purely intellectual and rational line of ministry".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p45).

Donald Gee on the Gift of Prophecy and Teaching

"(Prophecy) provides a most essential balance to the didatic and logical ministry of the teacher. Prophecy appeals mostly to the emotions; teaching to the intellect. Prophecy sets on fire that which teaching enlightens".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p45).

Richard Gaffin on Ignoring the Resurrection

"In fact only by virtue of His resurrection is His death, a dying to sin. A soteriology structured so it moves directly from the death of Christ to the application to others of the benefits purchased by that death, substantially short-circuits Paul's own point of view".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (pp116-117).

Richard Gaffin on Christ's Cross and Resurrection

"Strictly speaking not Christ's death but His resurrection (that is His exaltation) marks the completion of the once-for-all accomplishment of redemption".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p116).

Richard Gaffin on the Centrality of Christ's Resurrection

"This does not imply that Paul compromises the absolute necessity and intrinsic efficacy of Christ's death (as an atonement). It does mean however that he does not confuse the ransom price, no matter how sublime and precious with what is secured by it's payment".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p116).

Richard Gaffin on the Resurrection of Christ

"The resurrection is the salvation of Jesus as the last Adam; it and no other event in His experience is the point of His transition from wrath to grace".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p116).

Richard Gaffin on the Resurrection as Part of Gospel

"The resurrection is not an aspect or component of the death. Rather ... each has a meaning of its own which is supressed at the risk of seriously distorting Paul's Gospel".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p115).

Richard Gaffin on Resurrection and New Creation

"Resurrection is here nothing less than the counterpart of creation. The resurrection of Christ is the beginning of the new and final world-order; an order described as spiritual and heavenly. It is the dawn of the new creation, the start of the eschatological age ... the commencement of the age to come".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p89).

Richard Gaffin on Resurrected Christ

"The resurrected Christ is the life-giving Christ. The plain implication is that the last Adam became life-giving Spirit at His resurrection".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p88).

Richard Gaffin on Baptism and Resurrection

"Baptism signifies and seals a transition into the experience of the recipient a transition from being (existentially) apart from Christ to being (existentially) joined to Him".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p50).

Richard Gaffin on the Centrality of the Resurrection

"Resurrection with Christ involves an existential component. The believer's continuing walk in newness of life is based upon resurrection with Christ as that has taken place in his actual life history".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p47).

Richard Gaffin on the Centrality of the Resurrection

"Paul views resurrection with Christ not only in terms of solidarity with Him at the time-point of His resurrection but also as a part of a decisive transition in the life-time of the individual believer".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p46).

Richard Gaffin on the Centrality of the Resurrection

"For Paul, "life" in the soteriological sense ... is grounded specifically in the resurrection of Jesus and it's manifestation is always an expression of that resurrection. Life for Paul is pointedly resurrection-life".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p47).

Joel Beeke on Joseph Caryl's Works on Job

"Caryl's work on Job had been called the crown jewels of Puritan preaching".

Joel Beeke and Randall J Pederson - "Meet the Puritans" - RHB, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2006) - (p136).

Joel Beeke on Defining Puritanism

"Doctrinally Puritanism was a kind of vigorous Calvinism; experientially it was warm and contagious, evangelistically it was aggressive yet tender, ecclesiastically it was theocentric and worshipful, politically it aimed to be scripturally balanced and bound by conscience before God in the relations of kings, Parliament and subjects".

Joel R Beeke and Randall J Pederson - "Meet the Puritans" - RHB, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2006) - (pxviii).

A W Tozer on Worship and Experience

"Worship becomes a completely personal love experience between God and the worshipper".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p69).

A W Tozer on Worship and Experience

"Real worship is a feeling about the Lord our God. It is in our hearts. And we must be willing to express it in an appropriate manner".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p65).

A W Tozer on Worship and Experience

"I have had people tell me very dogmatically that they will never allow "feeling" that they will never allow "feeling" to have any part in their spiritual life and experience. I reply "too bad for you!" - I say that because I have voiced a very real definition of what I believe true worship is to be: Worship is to feel in the heart!".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p64).

A W Tozer on the Church and Worship

"That is why there is a Church. The Christian church exists to worship God first of all. Everything else must come second or third or fourth or fifth".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p45).

A W Tozer on the Holy Spirit and Worship

"Without an infusion of the Holy Spirit there can be no true worship".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p38).

A W Tozer on the Holy Spirit and Worship

"If the Holy Spirit should come upon us as in earlier times, visiting church congregations with the sweet but fiery breath of Pentecost, we would be greater Christians and holier souls. Beyond that we would also be greater poets and greater lovers of God and His universe".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p37).

A W Tozer on Worship and Communion with God

"The God who desires our fellowship and communion is not hard to please although He may be hard to satisfy. He expects of us only what He has Himself supplied.

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p25).

A W Tozer on Worship versus Pharisee

"Unbeknown to the understanding of a Pharisee, God communes with His redeemed ones in an easy unhibited fellowship that is restful and healing to the soul".

A W Tozer on Worship

"I wish that we might get back to worship again. Then when people come into the Church they will instantly sense that they come among holy people, God's people. They can testify; "Of a truth God is in this place".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p20).

A W Tozer on Worship and Revival

"We should say too that whenever the church has come out of her lethargy rising from her sleep and into the tides of revival and spiritual renewal, always the worshippers were behind it".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p19).

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p19).

A W Tozer on Personal Worship

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p18).

A W Tozer on Worship and Prayer

"We should confess that in many "good" churches we let the women do the praying and let the men do the voting".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p18).

A W Tozer on Worship and Noise!

"The worshipping saints of God in the Body of Christ have often been a little noisy".

A W Tozer on on Worship and Noise!

"This may be hard for some to admit but when we are truly worshipping and adoring the God of all grace and of all love and of all mercy and of all truth, we may not be quiet enough to please everyone!".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p14).

A W Tozer on Worshipping God

"A worshipper can work with eternal quality in his work. But a worker who does not worship is only piling up wood, hay and stubble for the time when God sets the world on fire".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p13).

A W Tozer on Worship

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p11).

Father Andrew Greeley on the Church

"I'm angry at the Church because I love it ... I wonder if anyone who loves the Church can help being angry at it. It is an organised community with a divine mission made up of all levels of human beings - saints and sinners, idiots and geniuses, devout and indifferent, virtueous and corrupt, fools and brilliant, sensative and clueless. It has a rich and powerfully beautiful heritage ... hypocrisy - mountains of hypocrisy ... it wraps itself in the aura of the sacred to hide it's stupidity".

Father Andrew Greeley - "Making of the Pope" - Clays, St Ives (2005) - (pxviii).

J I Packer on a Needed Revival of Puritanism

"Churches and Christians today are sadly Laodicean; complacent, somnolent, shallow, stuffy. We need reviving. What to do? Opening the windows of our souls to let in a breath of fresh air from the seventeenth century would, I suggest be the wisest possible course".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p106).

J I Packer on Puritan Writing

"Puritan analytical method accounts for the length of Puritan expositions - Joseph Caryl's 6000 pages on Job; 2000 plus in folio on Hebrews from John Owen, Hildersham's 152 sermons on Psalm 51:7, over 800 pages of small print in William Gurnall's treatment of Ephesians 6:10-20 ... What led the Puritans into such long-windedness was their passion for throughness in extracting all doctrines and developing all applications.

Clearly once they started drawing out implications and applications they found it hard to stop. Yet their variety of matter is great, repetition is minimal, the sense that they begin in the middle rather than at the beginning is soon overcome and interest once gained does not fade".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p95).

J I Packer on Defining a Spiritual Gift

"A spiritual gift is an ability, divinely bestowed and sustained to grasp and express the realities of the spiritual world and the knowledge of God in Christ for the edifying of both others and oneself".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p296).

John Owen on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

"By these gifts doth the Lord Christ demonstrate His power and exercise His rule".

John Owen - "Works of John Owen" - Volume 13 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh, (p426).

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p294).

J I Packer on John Owen and the Gifts of the Spirit

"It is clear that were Owen with us today he would be urging us to seek a recovery of 'every member ministry' through a renewed quest for the best gifts of the Holy Spirit".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p293).

J I Packer on the Puritans and Communion with God

"In private they talked freely of their experiences of God, for they had deep experiences to talk about it".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p283).

J I Packer on the Puritans and Communion with God

"We cannot but conclude that whereas to the Puritans communion with Godwas a great thing, to evangelicals today it is a comparatively small thing. The Puritans were concerned about communion with God in a way that we are not ... when Christians meet, they talk to each other ... but rarely of their daily experience of God".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p282).

John Owen on the Song of Solomon

"He is white in the glory of His deity and ruddy in the preciousness of His humanity".

John Owen - "Works of John Owen" - Volume 2 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh - (p49).

Merrill Unger on Song of Solomon

"It conveys a blessed revelation, not only of the purity and sanctity of human love in courtship and marriage but in mystical form it foreshadows especially Christs great love for His redeemed".

Merrill Unger - "Unger's Commentary on the Old Testament" - AMG Publications, USA (2002) - (p1105).

Sinclair Ferguson on the Song of Solomon

"The theme of Canticles is this essentially; the Christians sense of the love of Christ and the effect of it in communion with Him by prayer and praises is divinely set forth in the book of Canticles. The church therein is represented as the spouse of Christ and as a faithful spouse she is always solitious about His love and rejoicing in it".

Sinclair Ferguson - "John Owen on the Christian Life" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1987) - (pp79-86).

J I Packer on John Owen and the Song of Solomon

"Owen here aligns himself with those many Puritans who follow in the footsteps of Bernard and other medievals in expounding Song of Solomon as a parable of the mutual love of Christ and His spiritual bride the church and sometimes the Christian".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p274).

J I Packer on the Gospel

"That is the reality of communion".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p265).

John Owen on the Gospel

John Owen - "Works of John Owen" - Volume 2 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh - (p78)

John Owen on the Gospel

"Let faith look on Christ in the gospel as He is set forth dying and crucified for us. Look on Him under the weight of our sins, praying, bleeding; bring Him in that condition into the heart by faith; apply His blood so shed to thy corruptions. Do this daily".

John Owen - "Works of John Owen" - Volume 6 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh - (p85)

J I Packer on Prayer and Mortification

"The activity by which the Christian directly secures the mortification of his sins is prayer".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p263).

J I Packer on John Owen

"Owen did not write for superficial readers. He wrote rather for those who, once they take up a subject cannot rest until they see to the bottom of it and who find exhaustiveness not exhausting but satisfying and refreshing".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p253).

J I Packer on the Reception of the Spirit

"The reception of the Spirit after believing certainly had experimental repercussions for some New Testament Christians as Acts and Galatians 3:2 makes plain; it produced not merely charismatic action (prophecy, tongues, miracles) but also great joy, boldness and vigour in Christian life and service".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p246).

Thomas Goodwin on the Seal of the Spirit

"The seal of the Spirit is the proper work that answereth to baptism. Therefore it is called "baptism in the Spirit" (Acts 1:5, 11-16) because it is that fruit of baptism that answereth the outward seal".

Thomas Goodwin - "Works of Thomas Goodwin" - Volume 1 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1967) - p248

Thomas Brookes on Assurance of Salvation

"A soul under assurance is unwilling to go to heaven without company".

Thomas Brookes - "Works of Thomas Brookes" - Volume 2 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh - (p515).

J I Packer on Assurance of Salvation

"He may think and hope and with reason that he is a child of God. But he cannot say, in the unqualified sense of John's First Epistle that he knows his sonship till the Spirit sets this certainity home on his heart".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p239).

J I Packer on Assurance of Salvation

"Assurance is the concious fruit of a supernatural enlightenment and cannot exist till it pleases God to give it".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p239).

Thomas Brookes on Assurance of Salvation

"Assurance is the reflex act of a gracious soul whereby he clearly and evidently sees himself in a gracious, blessed and happy state; it is a sensible feeling and an experimental discerning of man's being in a state of grace".

Thomas Brookes - "Works of Thomas Brookes" - Volume 2 - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh - (p371).

J I Packer on Assurance of Salvation

"Assurance is not normally enjoyed except by those who have first laboured for it and sought it and served God faithfully and patiently for some time without it".

J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p238).

Terry Virgo - "Church in Unity and Diversity and Maturity" - Brighton Leadership Conference 2002 - Wednesday 26th June 2002.

Terry Virgo on the Church

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Smug Orthodoxy

"God forbid that in our desire to safeguard against certain errors, we should become guilty of quenching the Spirit. We can become so assured of ourselves and so much in control of the position that we are not giving the Spirit of God an opportunity".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p328).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Quenching the Spirit

"God forbid that any of the spirit of prejudice that was in the Jew should ever possess us and lead us to this pathetic position ... We must be orthodox but we must not be proud of it, we must not rely on it - even that. Let us realise this great lesson of the sovereignity of God, His great and glorious purpose; that it is He who calls and He calls whom He wills; He raises and He puts down".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p328).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Legalism

"I think one of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is always to be falling back upon works in some shape or form. Like the Galatians, we start in the Spirit but end in the flesh".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p318).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Unsaved

"So why is anybody lost? Is it because they are not elected? No! What accounts for the lost is their rejection of the gospel ... We are responsible for our rejection of the gospel but we are not responsible for our acceptance of it. That is the result of the electing grace of God".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p285).

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p285).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Spirit of Adoption

"When a man really has the Spirit of adoption, he knows that God is his Father and welling up out of the depths of his being comes this cry, "Abba! Father!". It is deep emotion not just some quite polite addressing God as Father!".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (pp262-263).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Real Christianity

"I will call them My people which were not My people. If you are a Christian then that is what you are! Do not think of Christianity merely in terms of forgiveness of sins. It is that, but it is much more than that ... We become betrothed to Him! We become married to Him! ... The church is the bride of Christ with all that represents not only by way of dignity and position but especially of care and concern and guardianship!".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (pp257-258).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Holy Spirit Operating in Trinity

"The Spirit shall not speak of Himself - which does not mean that He will not say things about Himself, so much as that He is not going to originate things Himself".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p230).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Grace of God

"What is grace? Grace is favour shown to those who are utterly and completely undeserving. Grace is kindness shown to people who deserve nothing but punishment. They deserve nothing good at all and yet in spite of that they are shown great favour. That is the meaning of the word "Grace" and the riches of God's glory are shown in His grace towards us".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p228).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Glory of God

"Now the ultimate truth about God, His ultimate attribute if we may so speak, is glory. We talk about the power of God, His omnipotence, His omniscience and His omnipresence and all these various other attributes but of course ultimately what makes God, God is His glory! You cannot explain it, you cannot define it ... what is it? Well all I know is that it is perfect light, perfect love".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p224).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Romans Chapters 9-11

"What then are chapters 9-11? They are what must be called a THEODICY - a justification of the ways of God with respect to man ... God's purposes are absolute and nothing can frustrate them".

David Mansell on the Gifts of the Spirit as Kingdom Rule!

"The gifts of the Spirit demonstrate on earth Jesus' enthronement in heaven. Jesus rules by sending forth the word of prophecy to declare and accomplish His will here on earth. He rules in situations of confusion by giving words of knowledge and wisdom and discerning of spirits. He rules over sickness by gifts of healing. He rules over apathy by faith and miracles. He rules over our present mortal limitations by enabling us to pray and worship supernaturally in tongues and interpretations. Our God reigns!"

Rob Rufus - "Living in the Grace of God" - Authentic Books (2007) - (p50).

Rob Rufus on a Vision of Real Grace Churches!

"The people who live in the grace of God are people who learn to love one another and accept one another. Church becomes family when we live in the grace of God. People living in the grace of God pray for one another more, reach out to the lost more and value people more. They start feeding the hungry, clothing the poor and going amongst the broken street people restoring dignity to them. They go beyond the walls of their buildings to infiltrate the world and mix with sinners.

They help those who are sick. They know it is not the Christian's job to judge whether the illnesses people suffer from are what they deserve. None of us deserve salvation. Just because someone is dying from a disease like Aids doesn't make them any less deserving of salvation!".

Rob Rufus - "Living in the Grace of God" - Authentic Books (2007) - (p49).

Rob Rufus on Legalists

"Grace haters are the legalists who will try to intimidate, manipulate and dominate people with a spirit of witchcraft. The religious spirit in them wants everyone stereotyped and conformed to their own bondage. They are parrots and puppets, no longer voices for God, but echoes not pursuing God but pursuing opportunities for position and prestige. They are cloned to act the same, dress the same and speak in the same religious tones".

Don Basham on Defining the Interpretation of Tongues

"The gift of the interpretation of tongues is the supernatural ability to speak by the inspiration of the the Holy Spirit in the known languages of the assembled worshippers, the meaning of what was previously spoken through the gift of tongues".

Bruce Yocum on the Prophetic

"When prophecy functions in this way, the Holy Spirit is primarily DOING something to the people through prophecy rather than SAYING something to them".

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Seeking God for the Baptism of the Spirit

"Seek a knowledge of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Seek Him! Say that you want to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings! Desire knowledge of God and of Christ in this intimate manner and the knowledge of His love "shed abroad in your hearts". That is what we are to seek! Seek to be holy, seek God's glory! Do not merely desire a comfortable experience but say to yourself "apart from this I can never be a true witness. I cannot witness truly for Him anymore than these disciples could before the Day of Pentecost ... say to yourself "Is it conceivable that I can be a witness without that power and is not it's absence perhaps the reason why I am such a poor witness?". Seek His glory - not your own!".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p392).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Scripture and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"Some would even go as far as to say that it is sinful to pray such a prayer now (Luke 11:11-13). Does not Romans 8:9 tell us that "If any man have not the Spirit of God he is none of His?". I reply if you are going to take that dispensational view of this verse then why do you not take a similar view of every verse in the Gospels?

The Sermon on the Mount they say has got nothing to do with Christians ... If such is the case the position obviously becomes ridiculous. It is certain that these verses apply to us as much as they did to the people whom our Lord first uttered them and we are to ask God as our Father for the Holy Spirit today as then".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p387).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Praying for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"A contrary argument is frequently brought forward which sounds very scriptural and spiritual. It asks; "Where do you find any teaching of the New Testament telling us to pray for this blessing of the Holy Spirit? It is surely wrong for us to seek it". This seems to me to be not only a false argument but a most dangerous one. The same argument is brought by the same people against praying for revival, they so so they do not pray for revival.

How then do we answer such a plea? We do so by remembering that in the New Testament period all that is described for us in the pages of the NT was a time of great outpouring of the Spirit ... the Apostle takes it for granted that "having believed they were sealed with the Spirit of God".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p280).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Depth of Experience in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"Every Christian should always be seeking the best and the highest. We should never be content with anything less than what is described as possible to the Christian in the New Testament".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p384).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Baptism of the Spirit and Sanctification

"It is the greatest stimulus to sanctification but it is not sanctification itself".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p383).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Error of Fear of Excess

"To refuse anything that is offered in the Word of God because you are afraid of certain possible consequences is a most grievious sin and it will undoubtedly receive the punishment it deserves. The way to face this problem is not to turn your back upon it; it is to be clear as to the difference between the true and the false. Because there is the real danger of false experiences, you must not shut out all experiences".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p280).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Sealing of the Spirit

"The whole object of the Sealing of the Spirit is to give us certainity about our inheritance. It is an earnest, a foretaste of good things to come. It is essentially experimental".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p327).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on 1 Corinthians 12:13

"1 Corinthians 12:13 has nothing whatsoever to do with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p314).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Fear of Excess

"Why should any be guilty of such a traversty? I have already given the explanation. It is their fear of excesses. To put it quite bluntly they are so afraid of Pentecostalism that they are driven to such exegesis and I suggest that they are thereby guilty of "quenching the Holy Spirit". Non-experimental! Look at the 2nd chapter of Acts!".

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Experiential Nature of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"There are books which do not hesitate to say that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is "not experimental". That has been the popular evangelical teaching during this present century .. It passes my comprehension as to how anyone can possibly say such a thing".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p310).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit Outside of the Word

"The assurance does not always come through the Scriptures ... we must be careful lest in our fear of a certain emphasis on the part of people who talk much about the Holy Spirit, we may become guilty of "quenching the Spirit". Normally this testimony is given through the Word but it can be given without the Word".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p307).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Experience of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"Let us realize then the profound character of the experience. This is not light and superficial and ordinary. It is not something of which you can say "Don't worry about your feelings". Worry about your feelings? You will have such a depth of feeling that for a moment you will imagine that you have never felt anything in your life before. It is the profoundest experience that a man can ever know".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 8:5-17 - The Sons of God" - Romans - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1995) - (p280).

Spurgeon on the joy of assurance

"He cannot be an unhappy man who can cry, 'Abba, Father.' The spirit of adoption is always attended by love, joy and peace, which are the fruits of the Spirit; for we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but we have received the spirit of liberty and joy in Christ Jesus. 'My God, my Father.' Oh how sweet the sound. But all men of God do not enjoy this, say you. Alas! we grant it, but we also add that it is their own fault. It is the right and portion of every believer to live in the assurance that he is reconciled to God, that God loves him, and that he is God's child, and if he doth not so live he has himself only to blame.

If there be any starving at God's table, it is because the guest stints himself, for the feast is superabundant. If however, a man comes, and I pray you all may, to live habitually under a sense of pardon through the sprinking of the precious blood, and in a delightful sense of perfect reconciliation with the great God, he is the possessor of a joy unspeakable and full of glory."

C H Spurgeon - "The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 17" - Pilgrim, Sermon 1027, p 712.

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Gift of Prophecy

"Prophecy always has the element of direct and immediate inspiration ... Prophecy is un-premeditated, unprepared, the revelation is always given".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p260).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Speaking in Tongues

"So Paul is saying, 'I thank my God that I speak in tongues more frequently than ye all'. Now if speaking in tongues is something that people can do whenever they like then I see no point whatsoever in that statement of the apostle because all he is saying is that he decides to speak more frequently than anybody else.

But if he means that he finds himself taken up by the Spirit and speaking in tongues, if it is a kind of spiritual ecstasy into which he has been lifted - not something he has decided to do but something which he has been given - then there is point in him claiming he knows more about it and does it more frequently than any one of them - ... they are always given, they are always initated by the Spirit".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (pp250-251).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Prophetic Utterances

"A prophetic utterance is not self-initiated; it is not something that we can give whenever we want to".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p6).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Edward Irving

"He (Irving) and his followers claimed that the gifts of the early church - speaking in tongues and particularly prophetic utterance - had been restored to them - and this undoubtedly happened".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p6).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Gift of Prophecy

"Prophetic utterance is only of value as it draws attention to the faith that has already been given. It brings out some particular aspect or facet of the faith and emphasises it because it may have been needed supremely at that time but prophetic utterance never lays down doctrine and our doctrine must never be shaped or decided by a prophecy".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (pp247-248).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Abscence of the Gifts of the Spirit

"The absence of the manifestation of the gifts is due solely to the low state of spirituality in the church".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p227).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Proper Exegesis of Scripture

"One of the greatest dangers it always seems to me is to interpret the Scriptures in light of our experience instead of testing our experience by the teaching of Scripture".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p227).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Spiritual Gifts

"We are entitled therefore to argue that if some of these gifts have been in evidence throughout the history of the church and still are, then why not all of them?".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p227).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Temporary and Permament Gifts

"The argument therefore is that the apostles is teaching that the gifts were only temporary and that once we had the New Testament Scriptures the gifts would no longer be necessary. So there have never been any gifts since the end of the apostolic age and it is very wrong for them to seek for them at any other time and particularly not now. But as we have seen, what Paul says about tongues and prophecy he also says about knowledge! So to be consistent you have to say that since we have had the Scriptures, knowledge has passed away. The whole thing is wrong of course".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p215).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Power of the Holy Spirit

"The power of the Spirit in this vital, living sense working through one person can do more in a minute than thousands can do in a hundred years".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p207).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on 1 Corinthians 12:13

"1 Corinthians 12:13 - This is an action which, again the Holy Spirit alone can work. It is not the baptism with the Spirit but the Spirit baptizing us, whom He has first of all made regenerate into the body of Christ. Unfortunately there is confusion today about that. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who baptizes with the Spirit. But here we are told of an action of the Spirit baptizing us into the body of Christ and making us members of that body".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p190).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Preaching

"Preaching has been overestimated many and many a time and this has led to grevious trouble. Towards the end of the Victorian era for example there was undoubtedly a worshipping of preachers and we are still reaping the results of that".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p165).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Anti-Intellectualism

"God's people are not meant to be thinkers only or people with fine sensibilities and nothing else but whole men and women redeemed and functioning as a people for God's own special possession".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p6).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Unction in Preaching

"Seek Him! Seek Him! What can we do without Him? Seek Him! Seek Him always. But go beyond seeking Him, expect Him. Do you expect anything to happen to you when you get up to preach in a pulpit? Seek this power, expect this power, yearn for this power; and when this power comes, yield to Him. Do not resist. Forget all about your sermon if necessary. Let Him loose you, let Him magnify His power in you and through you".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Preaching and Preachers" - Hodders (1971) - (p325).

Thomas Goodwin on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"There is a light that cometh and overpowereth a man's soul and assureth him that God is his and he is God's and that God loved him from everlasting ... It is a light beyond the light of ordinary faith ... the next thing to heaven; you can have no more, you can have no more until you come hither ... It is faith elevated and raised up beyond its ordinary rate, it is the electing love of God brought home to the soul".

Thomas Goodwin - "The Works of Thomas Goodwin" - Volume 1 - James Nichols, Edinburgh (1909) - (pp233, 236, 237).

William Guthrie on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"There is a communication of the Spirit of God which is sometimes vouchsafed to some of His people that is somewhat besides, if not beyond, that witnessing of a sonship spoken of before. It is a glorious divine manifestation of God unto the soul, shedding abroad God's love in the heart.

It is a thing better felt than spoke of. It is no audible voice but is a ray of glory filling the soul with God as He is life, love and liberty".

William Guthrie cited in Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "The Sons of God" - Romans Series Volume 7 - Banner of Truth (1969) - (p342).

Tony Sargent on Spirit-Filled Preaching

"No preacher should settle in his mind for anything less than unction as he enters the pulpit. To know the anointing of the Spirit in the act of expoundingthe Word should be one of the most sought-after phenomena".

Tony Sargent - "The Sacred Anointing" - Hodders (1994) - (p25).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Spirit-Filled Preachers

"There is one thing that gives a preacher authority, and that is he must be "filled with the Holy Spirit".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Knowing the Times" - Banner of Truth (1989) - (p160).

Tony Sargent on Dr Lloyd-Jones Preaching

"I reiterate that one cannot seperate Lloyd-Jones' pneumatology from his homiletics".

Tony Sargent - "The Sacred Anointing" - Hodders (1994) - (p295).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Spirit-Anointed Preaching

"Oh there is preaching and preaching! What is the test of preaching? I will tell you; it is power!".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones cited in Tony Sargent - "The Sacred Anointing" - Hodders (1994) - (p294).

Gordon Fee on the Gospel

"The single concern: the Gospel proclaimed through human weakness but accompanied by the powerful work of the Spirit so that lives are changed through a divine-human encounter".

Professor Gordon D Fee - "The First Epistle to the Corinthians" - Eerdmans Publishing (1987) - (p96).

Tony Sargent on Quotes

"To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present".

Tony Sargent - "The Sacred Anointing" - Hodders (1994) - (p260).

Derek Prince on True Faith

"A faith that does not result in activity of any kind is a dead faith; it is empty, worthless, insincere".

Derek Prince - "Foundational Truths for Christian Living" - Charisma Publications (2006) - (p478).

Derek Prince on Final Judgement

"We must state clearly and emphatically that this judgement of Christians will not be a judgement of condemnation".

Derek Prince - "Foundational Truths for Christian Living" - Charisma Publications (2006) - (p467).

Arthur Wallis on Revival

"Revival is divine intervention in the normal course of spiritual things. It is God revealing Himself to man in awful holiness and irresistable power. It is such a manifest working of God that human personalities are overshadowed and human programmes abandoned ... It is the Lord making bare His holy arm and working extraordinary power on saint and sinner".

Arthur Wallis - "In the Day of Thy Power" - CLC (1956) - (p20).

Ern Baxter on the Gospel of the Garden

"The entire earth was created to become a garden for the royal family of God".

Dr Ern Baxter - "God's World Purposes" - Timothy Distribution Company (1981) - (p8).

Ern Baxter on the Book of Genesis

"It is the seed bed for all spiritual truth - everything that God had purposed in His heart for mankind was birthed there. It truly is the Book of Beginnings".

Dr Ern Baxter - "God's World Purposes" - Timothy Distribution Company (1981) - (p6).

Ern Baxter on God's World Purposes

"The royal family of God is the central theme in His revelation to man. It is the key to God's purpose in our world today".

Dr Ern Baxter - "God's World Purposes" - Timothy Distribution Company (1981) - (p5).

Professor Kenneth Gentry on Amillenialism

"Amillennialists see daily suffering, abject loss, heart-rending tears, and absolute defeat for the church in history as "victory." It does appear that amillennialism really presents a "spiritual," detached view of history".

Kenneth Gentry - "Blaising Rattles: An Analysis and Response to Craig Blaising’s Critique of Postmillennialism" - from Kenneth Gentry dot com (2004).

Spurgeon on the descent of the Spirit

“My object is not to talk of the descent of the Holy Spirit as a piece of history but to view it as a fact bearing upon us at this hour, even upon us who are called in these latter days to bear our testimony for the truth”

Charles Spurgeon, Power for You, Whitaker House, 1996, p. 89.

Spurgeon on Glorious Disorder

“God, send us a season of glorious disorder. Oh, for a sweep of wind that will set the seas in motion and make our ironclad brothers now lying so quietly at to roll from stem to stern. As for us, who are as the little ships, we will fly before the gale if it will but speed us to our desired haven. Oh, for fire to fall again—fire which will affect the most stolid! This is a sure remedy for indifference. When fire falls into a man’s bosom, he knows it, and when the Word of God comes home to a man’s soul, he knows it, too. Oh, that such fire might first sit upon the disciples and then fall on all around!

“For, to close, there was then a daily increase of the church: ‘The Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved’ (Acts 2:47). Conversion was going on perpetually. Additions to the church were not events which happened once a year, but they were everyday matters. ‘So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed’ (Acts 19:20).

“Oh, Spirit of God, You are ready to work with us today even as You did then! Stay not, we beseech You, but work at once. Break down every barrier that hinders the incoming of Your might. Overturn, overturn, sacred wind! Consume all obstacles, heavenly fire, and give us now both hearts of flame and tongues of fire to preach Your reconciling word, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.”

Charles Spurgeon Power for You, Whitaker House, 1996, p. 112.

Don Basham on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"Jesus saw the coming of the Holy Spirit upon His disciples as a "second experience" - an experience beyond their revelation of Him as the Christ - which would provide them with power they did not yet have".

Don Basham on Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Charismatic Renewal

"The long held tradition which maintains that there is no "second experience" or seperate "Baptism in the Holy Spirit" has prevented multitudes of sincere Christians from being open to the current Charismatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Church".

Ern Baxter on Christ's Ministry TODAY

"Success in the Christian life is inseperably linked to "fixing our gaze upon Jesus" (Weymouth), "the pioneer and perfector of faith" (Moffat) "who is sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2) where we see Jesus Christ crowned with glory and honour (Hebrews 2:9)".

Dr Ern Baxter - "Christ's Ministry Today" - New Wine Magazine - July/August 1977 - CGM Ministries - (p4).

Ern Baxter on God's Prophetic People

"God's servants and God's people when they are healthy have always been prophetic. They have always been stating and asserting and affirming God's purpose in the earth. Charismatics today need to realize that God has visited us for more than just a personal experience. What God has done has a corporate dimension".

Dr Ern Baxter - "New Wine Interviews Ern Baxter" - New Wine Magazine - December 1978 - CGM Ministries - (p24).

Ern Baxter on Healing and the Baptism of the Spirit

"Healings were to attract attention. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit was to empower and initiate into a dimension of supernaturalism. God intends to equip a people corporately".

Ern Baxter on the Healing Movement

"I think the Healing Movement was a supernatural prophetic call to the world to say, "God is alive and He's here!" ... I believe the Healing Movement alerted the people in a very real sense to the renewal of the supernatural".

Charles Simpson on True Love

"We've got to learn to love more than in word. We have got to love in deed as well as word. I mean personal investment of ourselves in discipling faithful people into the ways of God - and providing resources that prove our faith in God and in them".

Charles Simpson - "The Fruit of the Kingdom" - New Wine Magazine - December 1978 - CGM Ministries - (pp13-14).

"Reproductivity is the proof of our discipleship. If each of us individually does not reproduce spiritually then we are not a disciple. Bearing fruit or reproducing the life of Christ in our own lives and in other lives proves our discipleship and glorifies God".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Proper Exegesis

"Let us be very careful therefore, lest we be found to be 'wresting the Scriptures' simply in an attempt to bolster up our own prejudices or justify our own low state of spirituality".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Romans - Exposition of Chapter 12" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p228).

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Cessationism

"I find it almost laughable that people should say that they do not see any evidence of the gifts today. It means, of course, that they are only thinking of speaking in tongues or of prophecy or of miracles ... We are entitled, therefore, to argue that if some of these gifts have been in evidence throughout the history of the church and are still are, then why not all of them?".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Romans - Exposition of Chapter 12" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p227).

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the Difference between Preaching and Prophecy

"But perhaps the best way of reaching a definition is to ask; what is the difference between prophecy on the one hand and preaching and teaching on the other? Because there is a difference. And I would say that the difference is one word. Immediacy. And this means that a word is given to people and comes to them. Now preaching and teaching are not like that. A preacher and teacher is a man who takes time to study, he takes time to think, to prepare; he arranges his material and gives it order and system. A preacher and teacher should not enter into the pulpit without any preparation and trust to the inspiration of the moment".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Romans - Exposition of Chapter 12" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p236-237).

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the Gift of Prophecy

"What then is the gift of prophecy? Well I would define it as a direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit. What for? It's purpose is to give a word from God or the Word of God to the Church. Prophecy is the inspired delivery of warning, exhortation, instruction, judging and making manifest the secrets of the heart. Someone who makes a prophecy has been given this gift of passing on, as it were, a word from God to the church and to individuals in the church".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Romans - Exposition of Chapter 12" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p236).

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Defining the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"I say again that my position is that I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a seperate, distinct, unique experience. It may be accompanied by remarkable gifts; it may simply manifest the regular gifts in a heightened degree. It is not for us to say that none of these things can happen. Anything is possible in the sovereignity of the Spirit".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Romans - Exposition of Chapter 12" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p232).
