Jerry D. Thomas > Quotes

“In ancient times, when the king would visit remote areas of his kingdom, a team would be sent ahead to smooth the road for his chariot. Holes would be filled in and bumps would be smoothed out. In the same way, when the Holy Spirit touches human hearts, it cuts down pride and the love of pleasure and power. It increases humility and self-sacrificing love. John’s mission was the same: to prepare the hearts of people for the coming King, so that they would be ready to accept Him.”

“In fact, heaven begins here on earth when we accept Jesus as our Savior.”

“We shouldn’t make requests of God to try to prove that He is listening and that He loves us. We should make our requests because He is listening and He loves us. Faith is not the same as assuming that even if we disobey God, He will do for us whatever we want. Faith is claiming God’s promises and seeing our lives change with His power.”
― Jerry D. Thomas, Messiah
