The Light

"I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly."
(John 10:10) (King James Version)
"The world is stumbling in darkness from one
crisis to another. The crises are getting
worse and worse, and are coming closer and
closer to home. Inflation, population
explosion, hunger, dominant vast areas of
the world. Jesus said, 'I am the light of
the world. You follow me and give your
life to me and I'll take you out of the
darkness of this world, out of this
confusion, out of this mess that you're
in, and I'll give you peace and joy.
A light will burn in your heart and
mind that you never had before. I
will command the light to come on
in your life."
(Day By Day With Billy Graham)

"Why am I breathing? Why am I alive?
The Scripture declares that it is
because the Spirit of God has placed
breath in my nostrils (Job 27:3).
He's enabling me to live. Not only
spiritually, but He is the source of
my physical being. God's Word
declares that the same Spirit that
raised the Lord Jesus from the dead
dwells in you as a believer and He
will quicken your mortal body.
Life without the Holy Spirit is
really no life at all."

"The Best Is Yet To Be"

"I will also give to each one who wins
the victory a white stone with a new name
written on it."
(Revelation 2:17) (New Century Version)
"Makes sense. Fathers are fond of giving
their children special names. Princess.
Tiger. Sweetheart. Bubba. Angel...
Isn't it incredible to think that God has
saved a name just for you? One you don't
even know? We've always assumed that the
name we got is the name we will keep.
Not so...The road ahead is so bright a
fresh name is needed. Your eternity is
so special no common name will do.
So God has one reserved just for you.
There is more to your life than you ever
thought. There is more to your story
than what you have read...
And so I plead...Be there when God
whispers your name."

"Today I would like to lift the
lid of my heart to you and talk
about a person, about one on whom
I am completely dependent...and
that person is the Holy Spirit.
I know so well what David meant
when he cried out from the deepest
recesses of his being: 'Take not
thy Holy Spirit from me!' You may
take away everything that I have,
leaving me with but the clothing
on my body and shoes on my feet,
but take not the Holy Spirit from
me! So important to me is the
mighty Third Person of the Trinity!
You may strip me of everything that
I possess and, of a truth, I vow
before the visible and the invisible,
before every angel in Glory, before
the Father and the great High Priest
at the Father's right hand, and before
the Holy Spirit Himself: if ever I
know beyond a shadow of a doubt that
the anointing of the Holy Spirit has
been lifted off my life, no longer
dwelling within me, I will never again
stand behind another pulpit. I will
never again hold a miracle service.
I will never again preach a sermon.
Why? Because I know wherein lies the
secret of the success of this ministry.
I am absolutely and completely dependent
on the mighty Third Person of the Trinity.
He is One whose power convicts of sin, who
heals the sick and whose leading has become
very familiar to me.
As a result of what I have experienced, I
believe the time has come when I should
share with you what I have learned regarding
the Holy Spirit. We are living in the
eleventh hour of this age, we are standing
on the threshold of the Catching Up. God
is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh.
But because of lack of proper teaching,
there are some who have gotten off the
track. How can I express it?...there are
some who have become too familiar in their
regard for the Holy Spirit, lacking in
reverence, speaking His name and using it
lightly. Remember, this Third Person of
the Trinity is holy, and when I speak His
name, I feel like speaking it very softly,
very conscious that He is a member of the
Trinity. I can never tell you my relation-
ship with the Holy Spirit. I can never tell
you what I feel regarding this One whom
Jesus sent to us. I can never begin to tell
you how sacred He is to me. I caution you
to remember His great importance..."

"Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
That 'maybe it couldn't' but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done. And he did it.
Somebody scoffed: 'Oh, you'll never do that,
At least no one ever has done it.'
But he took off his coat and took off his hat
And the first thing he knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
If any doubt rose he forbid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you,
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it.
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it."
