Quotes from Beth Moore

You and I need to obey God. When we do, the consequences of our obedience become God's problem and not ours.

For the most part we've dumbed-down New Testament Christianity and accepted our reality as theology rather than biblical theology as our reality. We've reversed the standard, walking by sight and not by faith. We want to be the best of what we see, but frankly what we see is far removed from God's best.

God will sometimes allow things to get bad enough that we will be forced to look up. Victory always begins with a cry for help. When we come to the end of ourselves and cry out for help, amazing things happen.

Five obstacles block our access to the benefits God wants for us: Unbelief, which hinders knowing God Pride, which prevents us from glorifying God Idolatry, which keeps us from being satisfied with God Prayerlessness, which blocks our experience of God's peace Legalism, which stops our enjoyment of God's presence

When you are trying to discern whether God or Satan is the author of a hardship, one of your best clues is whether sin is involved. God never entices us to sin, nor does he employ sin or perversion as a means of molding us into the image of Christ. Impossible!

Christians have been beaten, whipped, starved, humiliated, mutilated, tortured, hung, burned at the stake, crucified, and fed to lions; yet two thousand years after a man called Jesus of Nazareth walked the streets of Jerusalem, 1,734 million people alive on this earth today call themselves by the ever-dividing, ever-uniting word: Christian. God is still scattering the seeds a few righteous renegades planted in a city called Antioch. Had they only known what they were starting.

Remember, any day not surrendered to the Spirit of God will likely be lived in the flesh (Gal. 5:16—17).

True prayer, not just mindless, halfhearted petitions, is what digs the well God wants to fill with faith.

God is thoroughly committed to finishing the masterpiece He started in us. And that process means one major thing: change.

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

We need to recognize that lack of confidence does not equal humility. In fact, genuinely humble people have enormous confidence because it rests in a great God.

More than any other faith challenge I face, believing that I am who God says I am necessitates choosing what God says over what I feel.
