Quotes by John Eckhardt
All of us who believe on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are epistles of Christ. What does that mean? It means that believers and unbelievers alike look upon us and 'read' the gospel by the way we live our lives.
John Eckhardt
We cannot control what people do and say. What we can control is how we respond to it, the way we think, and how we allow what others do and say to affect our lives.
John Eckhardt
Worship is like a bridge into the Spiritual realm. It takes us into God's presence and to become aware of His presence is part of worship. We need to flow under the direction of the Holy Spirit because he has new things for us in every service.
John Eckhardt
The story of Jonah shows us the importance of the call of the prophet. Prophets are different. Prophets are unique. Prophets don't ask to be called or chosen. Prophets are called from the womb. Prophets pay a price for running and hiding. Jonah ended up in the belly of a great fish.
John Eckhardt
What is your assignment? How many lives hang in the balance as a result of your calling? How many people will be blessed when you obey God? This is a call for the Jonahs to arise and go to Nineveh. Where is your Nineveh? Whom are you sent to? These are questions every prophet has to answer.
John Eckhardt
God is calling and transitioning many of His ministers. Many have been called to be prophets, but they are fearful. Don't be a Jonah. Don't run from the call. Embrace it. The prophet's ministry is designed to bring deliverance and salvation to many. Nineveh was spared and blessed because Jonah went there.
John Eckhardt
People have no argument against the raw power of God. They have a difficult time explaining these things away. They are forced to rethink their positions and come face-to-face with the truth. Apostles come, not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
John Eckhardt
Set your heart upon God. Make the clear decision to serve God and love Him with all your heart. Be a man of God. Love His Word. Love His Spirit. Love what is right and holy. Love the things of God. Declare that you will not be ashamed to be a man of God in all your ways, never compromising.
John Eckhardt
Shalom is the Hebrew word usually translated 'peace,' which means prosperity, harmony (within and without), completeness, wholeness, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, fullness, rest, the absence of agitation or discord, a state of calm without anxiety or stress.
