"The measure of your unbelief is how far away you think the Father is from you. And the measure of your faith is how close you think He is to you and how quickly He hears you".
Isi de Gersigny - "Receiving like children" - Tuesday 23rd October 2007 - Glory and Grace Conference - Hong Kong.
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent

Joseph Prince on Confessing Sin
"Confessing your sins all the time will only make you more sin-concious. But knowing you are under Jesus' waterfall of forgiveness will keep you forgiveness-concious. And knowing that you are forgiven of all your sins will give you the power to reign over every destructive habit and live a life of victory!".

Joseph Prince on the Purpose of Calvary
"Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin" - What does "shall not impute sin" mean? Does it mean that you shall never sin again? Did Jesus die on the Cross to free us from committing sinful actions or harbouring sinful thoughts? If He did then allow me to conclude with reverence that He failed. You and I know fairly well that we can still be tempted with sinful thoughts and tempted to commit sinful actions and there will still be times when we fail.
When David described the blessed man as one to whom the Lord will not impute sin, he meant that even when this man sins, God will not count his sin against him nor punish him for his iniquity. Too good to be true? That is why David defined this man as a blessed man! And this blessed man is you and me!".

Joseph Prince on the Purpose of the Law
"God gave the law for one purpose and that is by the law, the world would have the knowledge of sin and recognize their need for a Saviour".
Joseph Prince - "Destined To Reign" - Harrison House Publishers, Tulsa (2007) - (p16).
Greg Haslam on His Presence = Joy!
"Yet the great need of the hour is for thousands of men and women in this generation to encounter God in the way that Isaiah did and be overwhelmed with God's glory as a result. Only this will result in the kind of Church we all long to see and only this will produce the kind of joy, lasting happiness and peace that the world so craves but is never able to manufacture. Real joy - the God kind - doesn't come in a bottle, can't be swallowed in pill form, can't be injected and won't be found in any thrill-seeking endeavour anywhere in the world. Pure joy is only found in the Presence of God".
Greg Haslam - "A Radical Encounter with God" - New Wine Books, West Sussex (2007) - p28.
Greg Haslam on Needing an Encounter with God!
"We need to experience the real, authentic joy of God that comes as a result of encountering God, seeing His power at work, hearing His voice speaking into our lives and have a spiritual reawakening. The greatest thing that could happen to any of us, ever, in our whole lifetime is that we have a mighty encounter with Him".
Greg Haslam - "A Radical Encounter with God" - New Wine Books, West Sussex (2007) - p24.
Greg Haslam on the Presence of God
"Without a real encounter with God we soon slip into a mechanical form of Christianity ... in short what many Christians have is a kind of synthetic spirituality and a synthetic joy. From time to time it looks like the real thing but it manifestly isn't. The real thing is something that draws God's powerful Presence and arouses a watching world either to total hatred or total surrender to the God we love and serve".
Greg Haslam - "A Radical Encounter with God" - New Wine Books, West Sussex (2007) - p22-23.
Greg Haslam on the Church's Need
"The bottom line is this; if the Church is to become the centre of renewal and world change that Isaiah said she would (see Isaiah 2:1-4) then we need a fresh encounter with Isaiah's God".
Greg Haslam - "A Radical Encounter with God" - New Wine Books, West Sussex (2007) - p18.
Greg Haslam on God's Work in the Nations Today
"I believe God is busy raising up men and women just like Isaiah today - people who have experienced the glory of Christ and will speak prophetically to our nation. God will grant them access to the highest places and most influential people in the land so they can testify to His glory".
Greg Haslam - "A Radical Encounter with God" - New Wine Books, West Sussex (2007) - p14.
Greg Haslam on Encountering God
"I believe that we can encounter God in much the same way as Isaiah did, at least in degree. We can hear His voice and know His commission on our lives just as the prophet did".
Greg Haslam - "A Radical Encounter with God" - New Wine Books, West Sussex (2007) - p14.
