Quotes by Patience Johnson

You dont have to feel grateful in order to be grateful.

When last did you thank God? When last did you appreciate him? Some people are just busy praying for more things they need God to do. The best way to pray is by thanking God first for the things He has already done in your life. For the remaining job in your life, He knows how to finish it.

Stop telling God what you want to have , He is going to use what you have left to give you what you need.

I have lived long enough to see God make my enemies my footstool not even footsteps.

The task is not in getting the healing the task is in what will you do with your healing. The task is not in seeing the light the task is in what will you do with the light. It is when you have choices that God can see who you really are not when you are without.

Question: when you picture Jesus ministering to others, how do you see Him? Certainly not with the stressed-out, hurry-up attitude we often have. Don’t you get an image of Him ministering in a quiet, tranquil peace? That’s a trait you need to develop too. As ambassadors of Christ we need to become more like our Master in dealing with others. Paul writes, ‘Live in peace, and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author and Promoter of peace will be with you.’ When you resort to force, argument, intimidation, anger, and coercion, you’re on your own. But when you demonstrate affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence towards people, God has promised to be with you

Satan can’t prevail against you when you know God’s Word and stand on it. So have your ‘It is written’ armour ready. Build yourself up on the Word of God before the attack comes.

If you are landing it doesnt really matter who is sitting beside you but while you are taking off, it is very important you know who is around you. Eagles dont flock with pigeons.

Any bridge you refuse to burn gives Satan an invitation and re-entry point into your life.

Unanswered prayer is God’s gift … it protects us from ourselves. If all our prayers were answered we’d abuse the power … use prayer to change the world to our liking, and it would become hell on earth. Like spoiled children with too many toys and too much money, we’d grab for more. We’d pray for victory at the expense of others … intoxicated by power we’d hurt people and exalt ourselves. Isaiah said, “The LORD longs to be gracious to you … therefore He waits” (Isaiah 30:18 NASB). Unanswered prayer protects…breaks…deepens and transforms. Past unanswered prayers which left us hurt and disillusioned, act like a refiner’s fire to prepare us for future answers.’ Bottom line: pray with the right motives!

God sends the best to those who deserves it.

Christianity is not for seasonal use, it is for daily use. Make the word of God your daily Language.

Take anything that is above you to God, lift it, bless it and release it and see what God will do.

Any prophet who does not refer you to christ is not a true prophet.

What you need to succeed is already there, just lean on God. For your faiths sake, God can still disappoint the devil.

You cant stop satan from doing his job; his job is to steal, kill and destroy but dont let him stop you from doing your own job; and your job is to bind and lose his stronghold. His job is to destroy you and your job is to destroy him too. Cast him out.

When you go nearer to God, He shows you what to do, He tells you when to do it and He backs whatever He promised.

There must be a demand, there must be an urge and there must be a will and where there is a demand and a will, there will also be a way.
