Quotes About Will

Human action is purposeful behavior. Or we may say: Action is will put into operation and transformed into an agency, is aiming at ends and goals, is the ego's meaningful response to stimuli and to the conditions of its environment, is a person's conscious adjustment to the state of the universe that determines his life.

And as far as being a leader, you do have a certain potential. But it would be along the lines of a teacher or a minister; you would have to lead from empathy, compassion.

~ John Bevere
There is the prophetic ministry of promise born of the will of the Father and there is the prophetic ministry born of flesh and the will of man. Though both are conceived through a genuine desire to fulfil God's plan and promise, the one birthed by flesh must be maintained by flesh while the one birthed by the Spirit will be sustained by the Spirit. Flesh reproduces flesh and therefore speaks directly to the desires of man. Spirit reproduces spirit and therefore speaks forth the desire of God.
~ John Bevere
It's possible to want intellectual stimulation, emotional gratification and social usefulness but not to want God. Because if you really want God in your life, you have to give up your own will, and that shows us the difference between someone who is actually trying to use God and someone who is trying to serve God. to use God is to seek him for what we can get out of Him. To serve God, is to be entirely motivated by our love for him.

Without the mind, the will is blind and has no content. Without content the will starts willing itself. This state of disablement causes severe problems, some of which are: 1. The will wills what can't be willed. 2. The will tries to control everything. 3. The will experiences itself as omnipotent or, when it has failed, as "wormlike." 4. The will wills for the sake of willing (impulsiveness). 5. The will wills in absolute extremes—all or nothing.
~ John Bradshaw

~ John Bradshaw
Change is the law. Stability and consistency are illusions, temporary in any case, a heroic achievement of human will and persistence at best. When we want things to stay the same, we'll always wind up playing catch-up.

en la adoración a Dios se requiere una fe divina, pero no puede haber tal fe divina sin una revelación divina de la voluntad de Dios; por lo tanto, cualquier cosa que se utilice en la adoración a Dios y que no sea conforme a la revelación divina, no puede hacerse sino por una fe humana, y tal fe no aprovechará para vida eterna.
