Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
When it comes to God, the sky is not the limit; the universe is not the limit. There are no limits except for the limit of our faith. Melody Mason, Daring to Ask for More, 27
God is not in the business of mastering methods. He wants to be the Master of men and women. When He has once captured the heart, the sky cannot limit what He will do through the life of even one fully consecrated person. Melody Mason, Daring to Ask for More, 29
When we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. Ellen G. White, Christian Service, 261
God wants to reveal Himself to us, He wants to do more, but He can t, because we don t believe Him for more! Ellen White laments, Just so long as the church is satisfied with small things will it fail of receiving the great things of God. Ellen G. White, The Review and Herald, May 19, 1904
The secret of success is the union of divine power with human effort. The man who commanded, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon is the man who for hours lay prostrate upon the earth in prayer at Gilgal. Men of prayer are men of power. Ellen G. White, From Eternity Past, 361, 362
