“There was a time when I hesitated to give forth this prophecy because of the great number of the doomsday prophets. However, beloved, be very careful about what you often hear. Just read what the Scriptures say. Not all that the prophets say is from God. The Word of God has something to say about the true prophets and also about the false prophets; those things have not changed. What I see in the prophetic eye is that there will be a period of time coming of unparalleled financial prosperity beyond anything that has been seen for years and then a period of unparalleled moral degradation of evil and wickedness on a scale unheard of in the generation to come. Then I see a period of unparalleled revival blessing, simultaneously at that same period.”

“The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge. The quality of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts. He considers not what is possible, but what is real; he gives might the preference over right. Time proves each reply to have been a mere approximation to the truth–tolerable chiefly on account of the ignorance of those by whom it was accepted, and wholly intolerable when tested by the larger knowledge of their successors.who are unable to follow in the well-worn and comfortable track of their forefathers and contemporaries, and unmindful of thorns and stumbling-blocks, strike out into paths of their own. Most of us, shrinking from the difficulties and dangers which beset the seeker after original answers to these riddles, are contented to ignore them altogether, or to smother the investigating spirit under the feather-bed of respected and respectable tradition. “When work and family becomes too much, we cut the family and just work,” The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the extension of Christ’s Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularised or self-centred Church can never evangelise the world.”

“If revival is being withheld from us it is because some idol remains still enthroned; because we still insist in placing our reliance in human schemes; because we still refuse to face the unchangeable truth that, "It is not by might, but by My Spirit." Jonathan Goforth (February 10, 1859 - October 8, 1936, Canadian Missionary to China)”

“Isn’t it strange how many Christians believe in Genesis creation story, yet they live in a fractured reality, ignoring the world around them while not digging deeper into the scriptures. Some think God created man in the image of the animals and not the Image of God or only the spirit was created in God's image. Some trust the science and believe we evolved from animals, because there is a great similarity between us and the animals as the evolutionists point out. Genesis 1:26–27: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” “So God created man in his own image…” The central issue is the Image of God versus the image of beasts. In Scripture, animals and humans are both living creatures, but mankind is singled out as uniquely made in God’s image, not merely as a higher animal. Key passages: Genesis 1:24–27 — Animals are made “according to their kinds,” but man is made in God’s image. Genesis 2:7 — Man is formed from the dust, yet God breathes into him the breath of life. This shows both earthly material and divine impartation. Genesis 5:1–3 — Adam is made in the likeness of God; Seth is born in the likeness/image of Adam. This connects image, lineage, identity, and inheritance. Genesis 9:6 — Human life is sacred because man is made in the image of God. Psalm 8:4–6 — Man is lower than the heavenly beings, yet crowned with glory and honor and given dominion over creation. James 3:9 — Even fallen humans are still described as made in the likeness of God. The part about Christians believing Genesis but not digging deeper also connects with: Matthew 22:29 “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.” Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” Colossians 2:8 “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition…” Romans 1:20–25 also fits strongly. It speaks of people seeing God’s creation, yet exchanging the truth of God for created things. That connects to confusing man’s divine image with animal likeness or purely natural origins. A sharper biblical framing of your thought would be: Many believe the creation story in name, yet miss its deepest claim: man is not merely another beast of the field, nor merely an evolved creature bearing animal likeness. Man is formed from the earth, yet stamped with the Image of God, called to reflect God’s nature, rule under God’s authority, and seek truth beyond surface appearances. The strongest “scripture correspondence” is: Genesis 1:26–27 + Romans 1:22–25 + Colossians 2:8. That combination captures creation, the distortion of identity, and the danger of letting worldly philosophy overwrite revelation.”
