I can already tell that this blog is going to be filled with scattered thoughts and fragmented sentences – my brain is wore out from writing papers on psychological theorists and humanistic viewpoints… I guess what I meant to say is that I’m sick of being a college student! So with that in mind, I’ve decided that the majority of my posts are going to be lists of random thoughts, often running into each other making it hard to follow.. haha
You will come to find out very quickly that I am a huge fan of those little one sentence phrases that just pierce your heart, and then you find yourself thinking about it for days! So here is a list of some of my favorite 1-liners that I’ve been chewing on recently:
- Prayer is humility (you’re declaring that there is someone bigger than you).
- Before sin required it, there was mercy.
- Wisdom is crying out.
- Holy love being a violence because its disruptive to our lives.
A.W. Tozer:
- “God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays”
- “We shall not seek to understand in order that we may believe, but to believe in order that we may understand”
- “He gives but He does not give away. All that He gives remains His own and returns to Him again”
- “The greatness of God rouses fear within us, but His goodness encourages us not to be afraid of Him. To fear and not be afraid – that is the paradox of faith”
- “Eternity is not another kind of time frame; it is not merely endless time or a quantitative thing, but profoundly and foremost a qualitative thing. The qualitative thing is available now- It is eternity now” (Art Katz)
Bill Johnson:
- “It is in the DNA of every believer to pursue that which is called impossible. You have been assigned by nature to invade the realm of the impossible; it’s who you are”
- “Jesus is the exact representation of the very nature of the Father. His actions were mirroring the heart of the Father”
- “Seek for that Baptism of power that transforms everything”
- “If you’re going to live a life of caution, all of your friends will call you wise. All of your friends will call you wise, you just won’t move many mountains”
- “Truth comes in layers; its multidimensional – it doesn’t fit on doctrinal statements”
- “The nature of the Kingdom knows increase – God is always bringing us from glory to glory; its a forward motion”
-” ‘Inheritance’ is getting something for free that someone else paid for”
- “The renewed mind is able to put on display the will of God. What is the will of God? – ‘on earth as it is in heaven’ And you know your mind is renewed when the impossible looks logical”
- “We bind here whats bound there, and we loose here whats loosed there – how can we loose here if we do not gain understanding of His world that has no earthly parallel
- “Faith is living from a superior reality; it’s living from heaven towards earth”
- “I don’t want the inexperienced to tell me how far I can go”

I love one liners! I even write down the one liners people around me say that strike me in any way. So I will be listening for yours! ; )
I especially like the one:
“The renewed mind is able to put on display the will of God. What is the will of God-’on earth as it is in heaven’ And you know your mind is renewed when the impossible seems logical.”
That is excellent!
