Quotes from David Jeremiah

James teaches us that we can be victors instead of victims, if we will mentally prepare ourselves by: 1. celebrating the reason behind our trials; 2. calculating the results of our trials; 3. calling on God's resources in our trials; 4. considering our reactions to our trials; 5. contemplating the reward of our trials.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Revelation 12:10—11)

A critical person seldom recognizes his own shortcomings, only those of others (Matthew 7:3).

The New Testament indicates that the Rapture of those who have put their trust in Christ is the next major event on the prophetic calendar. In other words, the Rapture awaits us on the horizon... it could happen at any moment. This is the clear message of the Bible, and it is a truth I have taught consistently throughout my years of ministry.

We think we are in the land of the living going to the land of the dying. But really we are in the land of the dying, going to the land of the living.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. (1 Peter 5:8—9)

It reminds us of a statement attributed to Voltaire: "God created man in His own image, and man has been trying to return the favor ever since".

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Eph. 6:11)

Biblical heroes were regular people who had to learn the same things you and I have to learn—to drive out fear by increasing their knowledge of God, to shift their focus from their present fear to the eternal God, to replace what they didn't know about the future with what they did know about Him.

Therefore submit to God.… Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:7—8)

The Bible assures us that a morning will dawn bright and glorious someday. All the sorrow and sadness and difficulty we've known in the darkened skies of life will vanish. The Lord will return for us at the daybreak of eternity, and there will be no more weeping, no more pain or suffering, no more broken hearts. There will be no more valleys plunging away from the peaks. He will dry every tear, and there will be joy in that great morning.

As the rudder controls a ship, so the tongue controls a person.
