Quotes from Rosalind Goforth

Prayer has been hedged about with too many man-made rules. I am convinced that God has intended prayer to be as simple and natural and as constant a part of our spiritual life, as the intercourse between a child and his parent in the home. And as a large part of that intercourse between child and parent is simply asking and receiving, just so is it with us and our Heavenly Parent.

It is so true that 'God will be no man's debtor.' When he asks for and receives our all, he gives in return that which is above price - his own presence. The price is not great when compared with what he gives in return; it is our blindness and our unwillingness to yield that make it seem great.

The safest place for yourself and the children is in the path of duty.

the wonder is not that God can answer prayer, but that he does, when we so imperfectly meet the conditions clearly laid down in his Word.

At last I realized that Jesus Christ was actually and literally within me.

Sin is the one thing I abhor - for it is the one thing that can, if unrepented of, separate us, not from Christ, but from the consciousness of his presence. But I have learned that there is instantaneous forgiveness and restoration to be had always. That there need be no times of despair.

The secret of Victory is simply Christ himself in the heart of the believer. This truth, of Christ's indwelling, is, and always has been, a mystery.

As Victory is the result of Christ's Life lived out in the believer, it is important that we see clearly that Victory, and not defeat, is God's Purpose for his Children. The Scriptures are very decided upon this truth.

God's greatest provision is the gift of a part of His Own Being in the person of the Holy Spirit.

to simply know of riches will never materially benefit us. We must make them our own. All fulness dwells in Christ. It is only as we 'apprehend' (which means take hold or take in) Christ through the Holy Spirit can it be possible for these spiritual riches to become ours.

It is true that there is nothing too great for God's power; and it is just as true that there is nothing too small for His love.
