“Faith does not come from our understanding. It comes from the heart. We do not believe because we understand; we understand because we believe (see Heb. 11:6). We’ll know when our mind is truly renewed, because the impossible will look logical.”
― Bill Johnson, Dreaming With God - Mendesain Ulang Hidup Anda dengan Aliran Kreatif Allah

“One of the assignments of the Holy Spirit is to let us know what is to come. If you read commentaries and various reference materials, you’ll notice most think the promise of knowing what’s coming is all about us being aware of coming calamities. Theologians tend to focus on problems because few truly believe in the glorious church. Everyone from world leaders to musicians, to actors and business leaders, are telling us of the coming calamities. We don’t need the Holy Spirit for that purpose when people without God can do it. Rather, we need Him to see the coming glory! The warnings of difficulties are necessary as they help us keep our priorities straight. But it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give us the mysteries of the kingdom. And there’s no pleasure in speaking of the death and destruction of the unrighteous. It’s still called the good news for a reason.4”

“Lester Sumrall told a story of a conference he and Smith Wigglesworth were part of. It was the first time Sumrall had met Wigglesworth. Sumrall got up to preach. And he preached and preached. After a while, Wigglesworth came up behind him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, “Son, it would have been wise for you to have ended fifteen minutes ago, when the Holy Ghost ended.” And he shut down the meeting. So many people go beyond the Holy Spirit.”

“Arkad, hast thou yet achieved the wealth thou dreamed of?” And I answered, “Not yet all that I desire, but some I have and it earns more, and its earnings earn more.” “And do you still take the advice of brick makers?” “About brick making they give good advice,” I retorted. “Arkad,” he continued, “you have learned your lessons well. You first learned to live upon less than you could earn. Next you learned to seek advice from those who were competent through their own experiences to give it. And, lastly, you have learned to make gold work for you.” “You have taught yourself how to acquire money, how to keep it, and how to use it. Therefore, you are competent for a responsible position.”
