Daily Experience With God Quotes

“Believers often seek power in prayer so they will be able to get good gifts for themselves. This secret selfishness robs them of the power and the answer. It is when self is lost in the desire for God's glory and our life is devoted to work for God, that power to pray can come.”
― Andrew Murray, Daily Experience With God

“Prayer is the voice of our life. As a man lives so he prays. It is not the words or thoughts with which he is occupied as set times of prayer, but the condition of his heart as seen in his desires and actions that is regarded by God as his real prayer. The life speaks louder and truer than the lips. To pray well I must live well.”

“All holiness is His, and He make things holy by His holy presence. The tabernacle and temple were not holy in virtue of cleansing, separation, or consecration. They became holy by the incoming and indwelling God. His taking possession made them holy. God makes us holy through His Word bringing Christ and the Holy Spirit into us.”

“It is God Himself who alone can make us holy by His Word. The Word, separate from God and His direct operation, cannot accomplish anything in us. The Word is an instrument: God Himself must use it. God is the only holy One. He alone can make holy. The unspeakable value of God's Word is that it is God's means of holiness. The terrible mistake of many people is that they forget that God alone can use it and make it effective.”

“The Christian must cast away not only all sin, but everything, however legitimate and precious, that may cause him to sin. He is to hate his own life, to lose it, if he is to live in the power of eternal life. It is a serious thing, far more serious than most people think, to be a Christian.”

“In all of life, whether science, art, or business, the only way of truly knowing is doing. What a man cannot do, he does not thoroughly know. The only way to know God is to do His will. By doing His will, I prove whether it is a God of my own sentiment and imagination that I confess or the true and living God who rules and works over all. It is only by doing His will that I prove I love His will and accept it as my own. The only way to be united to God is to do His will.”

“The indwelling of God is to be as natural and delightful as it is strange and incomprehensible... A person can give himself completely to the presence of the Holy Spirit, not only as a power working in him, but as God dwelling in him.”
― Andrew Murray, Daily Experience With God

“Many people are so occupied with how much or how little they have to say in their prayers that the voice of One speaking is never heard, because it is not expected or waited for.”

“It is great thing to enter the inner chamber, shut the door, and meet the Father in secret. It is a greater thing to open the door again and go our in an enjoyment of God's presence which nothing can disturb.”

“You are in danger of substituting prayer and Bible study for living fellowship with God. Fellowship is the living interchange of giving Him your love, your heart, and your life and receiving from Him His love, His life, and His Spirit. Your needs and their expression, your desire to pray humbly, earnestly and believingly, may so occupy your mind that the light of His countenance and the joy of His love cannot enter you. Your Bible study may so interest you that the very Word of God may become a substitute for God Himself.”

“In academic study or in athletics, every student needs determined purpose to succeed. Christianity requires, and indeed deserves, not less but more intense devotion”
― Andrew Murray, Daily Experience With God

“True Christianity aims at having the character of Christ so formed in us, that in our most ordinary activities His temperament and attitudes reveal themselves. The Spirit and the will of Christ should so possess us that in our relationship with people, in our leisure time, and in our daily business it will be second nature for us to act like Him. All this is possible because Christ Himself, as the Living One, lives in us.”
