Personal Story - Debbie Shaffer

God bless you.  Debbie Shaffer received this from one of her patients, a wonderful man by the name of David.  David knew Rufus Moseley and Glenn Clark personally and attended Camps Farthest Out" some years back, (as did Dr. Wierwille!).  She sent this to me thinking I might enjoy it...I did!  I believe you will, too.  - Bob Moynihan

J. Rufus Moseley

Folllowing are a number of quotations from Brother Moseley compiled by Glenn Ellis of Chattanooga, TN.

"All the way from the movement of a gnat's wing to the movement of the universe, God is conscious of everything."

"Just because God can't make two hills without making a hollow in between doesn't mean He's not omnipotent."

"God does so much good He doesn't get the credit for; but He is more anxious to do the good than to get the credit."

"You can localize the Kingdom, but you can't monopolize it."

"There's not only a Kingdom, but a King!  Don't be so intent on the Kingdom that you miss the King."

"Don't pray against anyone; pray FOR everyone, pray for the great goodwill of the nations."

"Faith is receptivity and response to God.  If you rely on past goodness instead of today's faith, that goodness becomes evil, for it keeps you away from the Highest."

"God loves His enemies better than we love our friends, and He does His best to all who do their worst."

"A person is alive in love, dead in hate, and dull and uninteresting betwixt and between."

"Somebody, when others hate, must give love.  Somebody, when others curse, must bless.  Somebody, when others are in darkness, must turn on the light."

"We can always find God in some valley of greatest need."

"Be so loving that only love can come out of you, and only love can get in."

"The future belongs to small disciplined minorities."

"To know that one has a mission gives one faith and purpose."

"No one really wants to do what he wants to do, until he wants to do what he should do."

"If you have not finished your work here and find you cannot be healed on the spiritual level where you are now, get on a higher level."

"The more light we receive, the more power we have, the more subtle the temptation."

"God never denies us anything we aren't better without."

"In our daily affairs, try to see God's way of handling situations."

"We are going to have the privilege of judging ourselves in the clear light of God.  He is a God of infinite mercy.  We need only own up to our faults in order to lose them in His love."

"Never before has the reality of the devil been so much denied, and never before has he been so rampant."

"A person is not responsible for his looks, up to forty years of age; from then on he is."

"Repent of all your known sins and ask that the unknown sins be shown you, that you may repent of them also."

"We can refuse to die when we know we are needed here, or until we finish our jobs.  We can argue with God about it, and if our argument is good enough, God will respect it."

"The Lord can heal you with a miracle, or He can teach you how to be healed."

"There is a great deal of difference between advice and the gospel.  You get the gospel from Jesus."

"If you want to go the way of Jesus, you must be an overcomer."

"The Jesus way is one of abundant life, peace, and peace-making.  It is from the littlest to the greatest.  It ends in triumph and victory."

"Full salvation is to be like Jesus."

"The highest aim of all is to seek the kingdom."

"Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  What he did he does; what he had he has, what he was he is!"

Mr. Moseley was asked, "Do you think Jesus ever laughed?"  He replied, "I don't know about that, but God sure fixed me so I could!"
