If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

Memorize Scripture
It is the work of the Holy Spirit to bring back into the conscious mind the things that are stored in the subconscious. In studying the Bible, never think that because you do not understand it, therefore it is of no use. A truth may be of no use to you just now, but when the circumstances arise in which that truth is needed, the Holy Spirit will bring it back to your remembrance.
Obey What You Already Know about God
God will never reveal more truth about Himself to you, until you have obeyed what you know already.
Obedience Opens Heaven
The smallest bit of obedience opens heaven, and the deepest truths of God immediately become yours.
You Have to Do Something to Obey
It is not study that brings understanding to you, but obedience.
The Center of Salvation Is the Cross of Jesus
The Cross of Jesus is the revelation of God’s judgement on sin. Never tolerate the idea of martyrdom about the Cross of Jesus Christ. The Cross was a superb triumph in which the foundations of hell were shaken. There is nothing more certain in time or eternity than when Jesus Christ died on the Cross; He switched the whole of the human race back into a right relationship with God. He made Redemption the basis of human life, that is, He made a way for every son of man to get into communion with God. The center of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much. The Cross is the point where God and sinful man merges with a crash and the way of life is opened, but the crash is on the heart of God.
Just Five Minutes of Total, Uncompromising Obedience
You could read volumes on the work of the Holy Spirit, when five minutes total, uncompromising obedience would make things as clear as sunlight.
Obey in the First Thing
If you obey God in the first thing He shows you, then He instantly opens up the next truth to you.
Open God’s Word by Obedience
All of God’s revealed truths are sealed until they are opened to us through obedience.
Pray before You Criticize
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
