Ronald Reagan Quotes

It is yourselves who have called us to this office, and being called by you, we have an authority from God.

There is a sense of call to take leadership roles. You're serving people and submitting to God as best you can.

If you are apostles at all, you are apostles, not of men, nor by man. Your sufficiency is of God.

By virtue of who we are, what we know, the promises we made to our Heavenly Father, and the fact that we are living now and where we are living, I absolutely think we were all born to lead.

What's interesting to me about Moses isn't the big stuff that everybody knows.

I am now officially ordained. Yep, that's right - Reverend Tori Spelling!

Anyone who wants to be pope doesn't care much for themselves, God doesn't bless them. I didn't want to be pope.

I believe God wants me to be President.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good. For me, this is an important key. If one has the answers to all the questions—that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt.

Those who serve as ministers can be compared to hands: reaching up, they take care of the head; reaching down, they take care of the feet.

If God had me run for something, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I was running from the calling of God because I didn't want the responsibility of standing upright and living under a microscope. I know now that others' destinies rely on my destiny and purpose. I've accepted the challenge and am actively walking in that purpose.

God gave me an actor's role; I have done that well. God gave me now a political role, and I am 100 per cent sure I will perform that well.

From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.

There comes the baffling call of God in our lives also. The call of God can never be stated explicitly; it is implicit. The call of God is like the call of the sea, no one hears it but the one who has the nature of the sea in him. It cannot be stated definitely what the call of God is to, because his call is to be in comradeship with himself, for his own purposes, and the test is to believe that God knows what he is after.

I believe that in this way the teacher always is the prophet of the true God and the usherer in of the true kingdom of God.

I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president.

I hate politicians. I hate politics. But if I start to go into politics, I think I believe that I can serve more, I can help more people.

The first ministers were the twelve disciples. There is no evidence that Jesus chose them because they are brighter or nicer than other people. Their sole qualification seems to have been their initial willingness to rise to their feet when Jesus said, "Follow me."

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. So at this wonderful, young age of 65, I don't know yet what the Lord has for me to do. I try to live up to the energy and to the calling, but I wouldn't dare say I have even scratched the surface yet.

Paul, Luther, Wesley —what would these chosen ones of God be without the distinguishing and controlling element of prayer? They were leaders for God because mighty in prayer. They were not leaders because of brilliancy in thought, because exhaustless in resources, because of their magnificent culture or native endowment, but leaders because by the power of prayer they could command the power of God.

There are a lot of pastors who have a vision and have not yet seen it become a reality.

The discernment of a vocation is above all the fruit of an intimate dialogue between the Lord and his disciples. Young people, if they know how to pray, can be trusted to know what to do with God's call.

When we don’t take God too seriously, others don’t take our leadership too seriously!

The left wants you to believe that true morality is defined by how much money you give the government, how much money you pay the government, how much money the government gets from you, because only the government does good stuff, only the government does good works, only the government cares about people. It's bogus.
