“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”
“Let everyone bless God and sing his praises;for he holds our lives in his hands, and he holds our feet to the path. You have purified us with fire, O Lord, like silver in a crucible. You captured us in your net and laid great burdens on our backs. You sent troops to ride across our broken bodies. We went through fire and flood. But in the end, you brought us into wealth and great abundance.”
Andrew Wommack referencing a conversation he had with a woman who believed in God yet was in support of social moral issues which explicitly conflict with scripture, “….explain to me how you can say that you are a Christian, that you love God, and yet you believed in all these things that are completely contrary to what the Bible says?” Her response, “….I was a Christian and I loved God, but I did not love the Word of God,…I didn’t honor the Word of God, I didn’t respect the Word of God,….when I came to Bible college and I began to realize the importance of the Word,…now that changed everything”.
Andrew Wommack “There may be some people here who say that you’re a Christian and yet you believe in things that are completely contrary to the Word. You could be a Christian and still not have the right value system, but you can’t fear God to where you trust in Him and exalt His opinion above your own. You can’t fear God and still embrace these principles that are completely contrary to the Word of God,…the fear of God will cause you not to be wise in your own eyes, but instead exalt the Word of God”.
“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.”
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will achieve success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Billy Graham “Religion doesn’t save anybody. Religion is man’s attempt to reach God. Christianity is God’s attempt to reach man. There’s a vast difference”.
“And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”
~~~Luke 16:15 (KJV)~~~
“But He said to them, You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted and highly thought of among men is detestable and abhorrent (an abomination) in the sight of God.”
