  • Andrew Murray Quote #1

    ...Cast yourself upon, abandon yourself to this Christ who lived that life of utter surrender to God that He might prepare a new nature which He could impart to you and in which He might make you like Himself.


  • Andrew Murray Quote #2

    [On Anger]

    [T]he instinct of self-preservation, setting itself against everything that interferes with our pleasures and comfort. What is called temper, with its fruits of anger and strife, has its roots in the physical constitution, and is one among the sins of the flesh.

    [of the spirit . . .]
    [T]he doing our will rather than His. In relation to our fellow-men it shows itself in envy, hatred, and want of love, cold neglect or harsh judging of others.

    [of fear . . .]
    The fear of God need never hinder the faith in Him. And true faith will never hinder the practical work of cleansing.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #3

    A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #4

    Answered prayer is the interchange of love between the Father and His child.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #5

    As truly as God by His power once
    created, so truly by that same power must God every moment maintain.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #6

    Ask and you shall receive; everyone that asks receives. This is the fixed eternal law of the kingdom: If you ask and receive not, it must be because there is something amiss or wanting in the prayer. Hold on; let the Word and Spirit teach you to prat aright, but do not let go the confidence he seeks to waken: Everyone who asks receives....Let every learner in the school of Christ therefore take the Master's word in all simplicity....Let us beware of weakening the word with our human wisdom.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #7

    Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!

  • Andrew Murray Quote #8

    Fellow-Christians, do let us study the Bible portrait of the humble man. And let us ask our brethren, and ask the world, whether they recognize in us the likeness to the original.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #9

    Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #10

    How different our standard is from Christ's. We ask how much a man gives. Christ asks how much he keeps.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #11

    Humiliation is the only ladder to honoring God's Kingdom.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #12

    Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #13

    Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #14

    Humility is simply the disposition which prepares the soul for living on trust.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #15

    Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #16

    Humility is the only soil in which the graces root; the lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure. Humility is not so much a grace or virtue along with others; it is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #17

    Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue. And so pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #18

    I see what the joy is; it is the joy of always loving, it is the joy of losing my own life in love to others.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #19

    I spoke of an Army on the point of entering an enemy's territories. Answering the question as to the cause of delay: 'Waiting for supplies.' The answer might also have been: 'Waiting for instructions, 'Waiting for orders.' If the last dispatch had not been received, with the final orders of the commander in chief, the army dared not move. Even so in the Christian life - as deep as the need of waiting for supplies is that of waiting for instructions.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #20

    If there is one thought with regard to the Church of Christ, which at times comes to me with overwhelming sorrow; if there is one thought in regard to my own life of which I am ashamed; if there is one thought of which I feel that the Church of Christ has not accepted it and not grasped it; if there is one thought which makes me pray to God: “Oh, teach us by Thy grace, new things”—it is the wonderful power that prayer is meant to have in the kingdom. [. . .] And that is the law of the kingdom—the King upon the throne, the servants upon the footstool.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #21

    In our modern religion there is a reticence in speaking of our personal relationship to Jesus which often causes great loss. We forget that the majority of men are guided more by emotions than by intellect: the heart is the great power by which they are meant to be influenced and molded.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #22

    In the Gospel story we find five great points of special importance; the birth, the life on earth, the death, the resurrection, and the ascension. In these we have what an old writer has called the process of Jesus Christ; the process by which He became what He is to-day--our glorified King, and our life. In all this life process we must be made like unto Him.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #23

    In the light of His example we can see, in the faith of His power we too can prove, that suffering is to God’s child the token of the Father’s love, and the channel of His richest blessing. [. . .]

    Suffering is the way of the rent veil, the new and living way Jesus walked in and opened for us.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #24

    Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #25

    Our humility before God has no value, except that it prepares us to reveal the humility of Jesus to our fellow men.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #26

    Our insight into the need of redemption will largely depend upon our knowledge of the terrible nature of the power that has entered our being.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #27

    Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #28

    Prayer not only teaches and strengthens one for work, work teaches and strengthens one for prayer.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #29

    Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.

  • Andrew Murray Quote #30

    Stand by; for I am holier than you! What a parody on holiness! Jesus the Holy One is the humble One: the holiest will ever be the humblest. There is none holy but God: we have as much of holiness as we have of God.
