“I cannot describe it, I seldom refer to it, it is almost too sacred an experience to name. . . . I can only say God revealed Himself to me, and I had such an experience of His love that I had to ask Him to stay His hand. I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different. I did not present any new truths; and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world; it would be as small dust in the balance”–A.P. Fitt, The Shorter Life of D.L. Moody, 67.

“. . .God is also with us in a conversational relationship: he speaks with us individually as it is appropriate–which is only to be expected among persons who know one another, care about each other and are engaged in common enterprises”–Dallas Willard, Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God, 51.

“Therefore the Scriptures should only be read in an attitude of prayer, trusting to the inward working of the Holy Spirit to make their truths a living reality within us”–William Law.

“What has usually happened . . . is that they have set up in their minds what they think God ought or ought not to do, and when He apparently fails to toe their particular line they feel a sense of grievance. Yet it is surely more sensible.  .  . for us human beings to find out, as far as we can, the ways in which God  works”–J.B. Phillips, Your God is Too Small,51.
