Quotes by Andrew Murray

“A readiness to believe every promise implicitly, to obey every command unhesitatingly, to stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, is the only true spirit of Bible study.”

“We are to be shut out from men, and shut in with God.”

“I didnt play that great today. I think that on the big points, I played well. On the smaller points I was a bit lazy.”

“I think it takes a while to get the respect because, obviously, Im still not inside the top 100, ... Until you start beating some of the best players, you dont get the respect of the top guys.”

“Every single person in Britain is so negative about the young players. All they are waiting to do is just put them down and I think this week I kind of showed that possibly I might go on and do well,”

“Yeah, because Im fed up with that.”

“I will have to make sure that I dont go for too much, too early, but instead wait for the right opportunity. It should be a fun game to play as we both like to use angles, but I am rather taller than him so I will probably be hitting the ball harder.”

“ He has a game plan that is impressive and qualities that will suit hard courts.”

“Apparently, theres a big pile of letters at home for me and my mum said I got a thong in the post,”

“If there was a picture of the girl in there with the thong and she is nice then that would be better.”

Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.

Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.

Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of Gods forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.

The giver is more than the gift; God is more than the blessing. And our being kept waiting on Him is the only way for our learning to find our life and joy in Himself. Oh, if God’s children only knew what a glorious God they have, and what a privilege it is to be linked in fellowship with Him, then they would rejoice in Him! Even when He keeps them waiting, they will learn to understand better than ever. ”Therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you.” His waiting will be the highest proof of His graciousness.

The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us, and carry out, in our ordinary conduct; the insignficances of daily life are the importances and the tests of eternity, because they prove what really is the spirit that possesses us.

Use every opportunity of humbling yourself before your fellow-men as a help to abide humble before God.

Ask and you shall receive; everyone that asks receives.  This is the fixed eternal law of the kingdom:  If you ask and receive not, it must be because there is something amiss or wanting in the prayer. Hold on; let the Word and Spirit teach you to prat aright, but do not let go the confidence he seeks to waken:  Everyone who asks receives....Let every learner in the school of Christ therefore take the Masters word in all simplicity....Let us beware of weakening the word with our human wisdom.

Humiliation is the only ladder to honoring Gods Kingdom.

Prayer not only teaches and strengthens one for work, work teaches and strengthens one for prayer.

What is the reason that many thousands of Christian workers in the world have not a greater influence? Nothing save this—the prayerlessness of their service. In the midst of all their zeal in the study and in the work of the Church, of all their faithfulness in preaching and conversation with the people, they lack that ceaseless prayer which has attached to it the sure promise of the Spirit and the power from on high. It is nothing but the sin of prayerlessness which is the cause of the lack of a powerful spiritual life!
