Grapes Become Wine Only When They Have

We Always Have Visions, Before A Thing Is Made Real. When We Realize That Although The Vision Is Real, It Is Not Real In Us, Then Is The Time That Satan Comes In With His Temptations, And We Are Apt To Say That It Is No Use To Go On. Instead Of The Vision Becoming Real, There Has Come The Valley Of Humiliation.

Isaiah Was So Attuned To God, Because Of The Great Crisis He Had Just Endured, That The Call Of God Penetrated His Soul. The Majority Of Us Cannot Hear Anything But Ourselves. And We Cannot Hear Anything God Says. But To Be Brought To The Place Where We Can Hear The Call Of God Is To Be Profoundly Changed.

If We Have Never Had The Experience Of Taking Our Commonplace Religious Shoes Off Our Commonplace Religious Feet, And Getting Rid Of All The Undue Familiarity With Which We Approach God, It Is Questionable Whether We Have Ever Stood In His Presence.

A Sentimentalist Is One Who Delights To Have High And Devout Emotions Stirred Whilst Reading In An Arm-chair, Or In A Prayer Meeting, But He Never Translates His Emotions Into Action. Consequently A Sentimentalist Is Usually Callous, Self-centred And Selfish, Because The Emotions He Likes To Have Stirred Do Not Cost Him Anything.

We Pray When There's Nothing Else We Can Do; Jesus Wants Us To Pray Before We Do Anything At All.
