51. Where God's finger points, there God's hand will make a way.                 52. What will prayer do for you? All that God can do for you!                 53. Wrestling prayer can wonders do,         Bring relief in deepest straits.                 Prayer can force a passage through iron bars       And brazen gates.                 54. All things truly work together for good to them that love the Lord no matter what it is.                 55. It may not always seem like it, but God often gets His greatest victories out of seeming defeat.                 56. God never gives us burdens greater than we are able to bear.                 57. God is a loving & merciful God, He knows your frame, He remembers that you are but dust, & He knows how much you can stand.                 58. While there is life, there is hope.                 59. He is your peace, your help comes from Him. In Him is your confidence. You must put your confidence in Him.                 60. When things look darkest, don't look down, look up. Be not fearful but believing.                 61. It's not always going to seem easy, but the Lord promised it would be easy.                 62. "David encouraged himself in the Lord his God."--1Sam.30:6b.                 63. "Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand."--Psa.37:4.                 64. "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth."--Psa.145:18.                 65. "He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him, He also will hear their cry & will save them."--Psa.145:19.                 66. "Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."--Phil.1:6.                 67. "Faithful is He that calleth you who also will do it."--1Thes.5:11.

CONVICTION & COMPROMISE

                68. It is so easy to make excuses,--legitimate, logical, reasonable, acceptable excuses why you can't make it, why you shouldn't be expected to make it, & in most cases most people will accept your excuses because most people don't have faith either & in excusing you, they're excusing themselves. But is God going to excuse you?                 69. People don't realise that if they hold one little thing back from the Lord, one little compromise, one little tiny thing from the Lord, they're on their way to backsliding. Because one little disobedience leads to another, one little refusal & denial leads to another, one bit of selfishness leads to more. DEVIL'S DEVICES                 70. If the Devil can get you to agree on even a short ceasefire, he has time to bring up reinforcements, encircle you, infiltrate you with his lies & spies & try to trap you completely.                 71. You can't do business with the Enemy even for a moment, he's out to win.                 72. Most of the time jealousy exaggerates things so much that they seem worse than they really are. That's the Devil's business, to blow things up as big as a mountain.                 73. Watch your thoughts, they are real things.                 74. The main purpose of the Enemy's words is to cause fear, to weaken your work for the Lord & upset you in any way he can.                 75. The Devil was ordained to see if he could get you not to believe God.                 76. The Devil will put in a partial half-truth to give credence to the lie.                 77. The Devil attacks us first in our thoughts, that's the door through which he finds entrance. But thank God you can slam that door shut with Scriptures as Jesus did.                 78. Any hold Satan has is only as a usurper. He tries to hold on to that which is not rightfully his.                 79. The Devil is a liar & is usually bluffing.                 80. The Devil can't stand the Word nor the name of Jesus.                 81. The first purpose of the Devil is to condemn.                 82. A lot of times the reason why you have to fight the Devil so much is because you're fighting God & the Truth.                 83. Part of what the Devil says is always true. Because he has no hope of getting you to believe his lies unless he tells you some truth mixed with them in an attempt to try to deceive you into thinking his lies are true too.                 84. The Devil always tries to reverse things, & the minute God says anything, the Devil immediately tries to contradict it.                 85. If the Devil can't discourage you in any other way, he tries to belittle you & belittle what you're doing.                 86. The Enemy is always on the job, always watching & ready to give us a shove & cause us to stumble & fall if we're not watching & praying & looking & holding on to the Lord. DOUBTS                 87. The best cure for doubts is the Word.                 88. You can't keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can sure keep them from building a nest in your hair.                 89. Just a little bit of doubt, a little bit of fear, a little bit of complaint, a little bit of discouragement can grow & grow until you're totally defeated & a terrible influence on others.                 90. At the root of every doubt there is sin, the heinous, diabolical sin of rebellion against God's will.                 91. Doubts are monsters that devour & destroy you & the things around you. They are the Devil's thoughts & Satan's words, & when you're doubting in your mind, you're thinking the Enemy's thoughts. When you're voicing your doubts to others you're spreading Satan's propaganda, & it's all designed to bring division, & through division, destruction of the Work of God.                 92. Are you a potential Judas? You are if you're doubtful, unhappy, discontented, disobedient & unbelieving.                 93. You cannot entertain the thoughts of the Enemy & yet receive the thoughts of God.                 94. Murmuring is the voice of doubt.                 95. If you let the Devil use your mouth to speak doubts & discouragement & his lies, you're preaching the Devil's own doctrines.                 96. Don't listen to the Devil or pretty soon you'll be believing him.                 97. Doubt is contagious!                 98. You are not responsible for the thoughts that pass your door, you are responsible for those you admit & entertain.                 99. The reason people doubt is because they're not willing to accept the truth.                 100. Which will you be?--A doubter, disobeyer & denier?-- Or a believer, obeyer & broadcaster of the truth even if it kills you?                 101. The worst sin of all is the wicked, horrible, heinous sin of unbelief which leads to faith in the Devil & his lies.                 102. The major sin is unbelief, rejecting, doubting the Word of God, & believing the lying propaganda of the Devil.                 103. If you have doubts you can cure them by faith which comes by hearing the Word. The Word will cure any doubts you have if you're willing to receive the truth & really want to know.                 104. Let go of those damn doubts & fears & discouragements & devilish burdens put there by the enemy, & hang on to the Lord! FAITH & TRUST                 105. The Lord loves faith! He loves you because you believe Him, just because He said so.                 106. When you remind God of His Word, it shows you have faith in it. It's a positive declaration of your faith & your knowledge of the Word, which pleases God.                 107. One of God's greatest interests is in getting you to believe in the unseeable.                 108. Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.                 109. You get what you ask for & what you have faith for.                 110. Faith praises no matter what happens.                 111. Doubt sees the obstacles,         Faith sees the way!         Doubt sees the darkest night,         Faith sees the day!                 Doubt dreads to take a step,         Faith soars on high!         Doubt questions, "Who believes?"         Faith answers, "I!"                 112. Faith isn't faith unless it's all you're holding onto.                 113. Faith knows God will do it & He does.                 114. With faith, believing is seeing.                 115. Faith works on blind obedience whether you ever get the answer or not.                 116. Discouragement is the Devil's favourite weapon, & the only thing that defeats it is faith.                 117. It is impossible to have faith unless you have the Word, because your faith is something that is built by faithful study of God's Word.                 118. There's no excuse for not having the faith for something.                 119. "Faith cometh by hearing the Word."--Rom.10:17.                 120. It's faith that keeps you from worry, it's faith that keeps out fear.                 121. Faith is just doing what God tells you to do today & believing Him for tomorrow.                 122. I believe in putting God on the spot & asking Him to do a miracle.                 123. If the Word & reading the Word doesn't give you the faith for it, it is because you have rejected the Word, & therefore you refused to receive it or obey it.                 124. Trying to have faith is a work of the flesh, accepting faith through His Word is a work of God's grace.                 125. The very Words of God are mingled with supernatural power to be released by the touch of your faith.                 126. Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees,       And looks to God alone.                 Laughs at impossibilities,         And cries, "It shall be done!"                 127. God has confined Himself & His operations to our faith & our prayers.                 128. Faith must be dead to doubt, dumb to discouragement & blind to impossibilities.                 129. Faith that cannot stand the test is no faith at all.                 130. If you've got real faith you'll keep on going for God even if it kills you, & it will kill you, because it means death to self & pride & all that damned self-righteousness as you die daily.                 131. Faith is idle when circumstances are bright, only when they are adverse is ones faith in God exercised.                 132. Faith, like a muscle, grows strong & supple with exercise.                 133. Don't work it up, pray it down.                 134. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," & if he thinks so, then it has that influence or that power over him.                 135. Doubt, fear, discouragement & murmuring kill! Faith, trust, courage & praising the Lord make alive!                 136. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its trouble, it does empty today of its strength.                 137. So many take their burdens to the Lord & lay them at His feet, & then pick them right back up again & walk off with them.                 138. Let go & let God!                 139. Trust is never tension. True faith is complete relaxation.                 140. Thou dost not have to see nor understand all things, neither dost thou have to know the mind of thy Father, nor to understand all the Words of David, for all of these things which I have ordained are already in My hands & are finished.                 141. There's no need to worry about things in advance, because when the time comes the Lord tells you exactly what to do.                 142. Don't worry one minute in advance about anything, just flow with it as the Spirit leads you.                 143. Forget the things that are behind & fret not thyself for tomorrow are two of God's cardinal rules for eliminating most of your worries.                 144. Never doubt for a moment         That God will reply,         He has to, He wants to,         Trust Him; He can't lie!                 Just keep on trusting         When things go all wrong,         And you'll soon shout the victory         And sing His new song!                 145. Time solves so many problems, a minute, a few hours, a few days, & you'll find that God has solved things without your help. Give God a chance, give Him time. Wait on the Lord.                 146. Disappointment, His appointment         Change one letter then I see,         That the thwarting of my purpose         Is God's better choice for me.                 147. If you're down in the dumps, then dump it on Jesus! Are you on the spot? Turn around & put God on the spot!                 148. God gives you power for the hour, grace for the trial--at the hour & when it comes, not before.                 149. Never put a question mark where God has put a period.                 150. People who live within God's golden gates of faith can survive anything, even death, & can still say like Job, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him."
