The Author And The Finisher
“For most of my life, I’ve been programmed to believe that if I really got my own way, I’d be happy. But the Bible and my experience have taught me that God getting his way makes me happy. And the truth is that I’m learning his way is the only way to go. Even though I really do want to obey, it is a continual struggle. Jesus says he can do it. He can take you on, and do what you cannot do. He said he would initiate it and that he would finish it; that he’s the Author and the Finisher of your salvation. And he said he can save you in spite of yourself. I believe it for me and I believe it for you.”
John Wimber, Prayer: Intimate Communication (Anaheim: Vineyard Ministries International, 1997), 19.
