"As worshippers we need to get to know that great worship book, the Song of Songs. Get to know it until it becomes a part of you. After a while it will almost feel as though you wrote it. Solomon got just a little ahead of you and put it on paper. At first you may feel that you wish you had the ability to write it. Then ... you will know you could have written it because you will have the same experiences".

"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

Ruth Heflin on the Song of Solomon (Songs)
Ruth Heflin on Worship and the Glory
"It is worship that brings forth the glory and God's ultimate desire is that the glory of the Lord "covers the earth as the waters cover the sea". The glory will descend as snow. The praisers pray until the spirit of worship comes. The worshippers worship until the glory is manifested".

Ruth Heflin on the Anointing in Church
"The ministry of praise increases the anointing in the service. It increases the anointing in the individual. But the ministry of worship brings the glory. Praise brings the anointing to worship and worship brings that anointing of glory".

Ruth Heflin on Worship Leaders
"When a worship leader is concious that the anointing has built to the place that the spirit of worship comes, he should slip quickly into a little song of worship. It should be less wordy than the song of praise. When you worship, you don't need to say great things".

Ruth Heflin on Dry Churches
"If you are attending a church where the flow of the river is not yet known, I encourage you to start a prayer meeting in your home where you can let God have His way. Make yourself available to God every day. The Lord will teach you, and you will know His hand on your shoulders in a new way in the days ahead. He will be so close, whispering in your ear, speaking into your heart, writing on your spirit ... The Lord will lift you into His Spirit again and again until rivers flow in you and through you to bless all those around you".
Ruth Heflin - "Revival Glory" - 1998 - McDougal Publishing - page 96.
Ruth Heflin on Prophesying
"Prophecy is basically learning how to open our mouths and speak what God is giving us. We are moved by the Holy Ghost. Prophecy is His work, but He chooses to use our voices. He chooses to use our lips. He chooses to use our tongues ... God won't force you to, but you may if you are willing. It's possible. It's permissible. If you are moved by the Spirit of the Living God, you may prophecy".
Ruth Heflin - "Revival Glory" - 1998 - McDougal Publishing - page 90.
Ruth Heflin on Prophecy
"You might ask, 'Sister Ruth, is prophecy that powerful?'. It is. This is why you need to start prophesying in the midst of the congregation and let God bring forth His Word. Let Him bring it forth into the board rooms of the Earth, into every situation where He desires to work. Let the prophetic voice, the creative flow, come forth".
Ruth Heflin - "Revival Glory" - 1998 - McDougal Publishing - page 96.
Ruth Heflin on Culture and the Glory of God
"If you have been side-tracked by trying a particular method that has borne fruit for someone else, turn back to find the Lord's Presence. He is more important than a method, a system or a program. Come back to the simplicity of His Presence".
Ruth Heflin - "Revival Glory" - 1998 - McDougal Publishing - page 151.
Ruth Heflin and the Glory Realm
"There is a rhythm to the glory and when we speak of the glory, we speak of moving".
