Victoria Osteen Quotes

The Bible is to your soul what bread is to your body. You need it daily. One good meal does not suffice for a lifetime.

Far more indispensable then food for the physical body is spiritual nourishment for the soul. One can do without food for a considerable time, but a man of the spirit cannot exist for a single second without spiritual nourishment.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

The word of God is that unto our souls, which our soul is unto our body.

When you're reading the Word of God, you need to let it soak in and let God speak to your heart and let the Holy Spirit work.

Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to live daily according to the mind of Jesus and his Gospel.

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.

The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.

The spiritually starving hesitate to partake of the Spirit like a child's reaction to new and strange food. They must be offered a tiny bite on a spoon.

The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.

Therefore bread was created for the glory of Christ. Hunger and thirst were created for the glory of Christ. And fasting was created for the glory of Christ. Which means that bread magnifies Christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for God himself. When we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food—the Bread of Life. And when we fast we say, “I love the Reality above the emblem.” In the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. Both magnify Christ.

God is the food our spirits were designed to feed on.

Do you know who taught the eagles to find their prey? Well, that same God teaches His hungry children to find their Father in His Word.

Are you aware that your spirit needs to be fed? Did you know that your spirit would be delighted to partake in a feast of spiritual food? How about a plate full of prayer? Or maybe a few hours of succulent self-reflection. Perhaps a piping-hot selection of spiritual literature, served by the side of a lake or under a tree, would satisfy your spiritual hunger. Can you imagine feasting for a few hours on spiritually uplifting music? What about some forgiveness à la mode, topped with compassion? You cannot imagine how much your spirit would enjoy it.

To a hungry man, Christ is very lovely when He has a loaf of bread in His hand.

Mealtime's the only time I get to devote to the things of the spirit.

Even professing Christians, by and large, devote to their spiritual growth and well-being a tiny fraction of the time they devote to their body, and it is even tinier fraction if we include what they worry about.

Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.

God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, and if we are not filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges

The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.

Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.

The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord.

If people are not sharing their faith in your church, if they're not having a quiet time, if they're not living godly lives, then you need to change your style of preaching. You are obviously not seeing lives changed through the Word of God. So what is the problem? The problem isn't the Word. The problem is your preaching style.

[Mahatma] Ghandi said in a world with so many hungry people it just makes sense that God would come as food. God sent the living bread and the living water in a world where there is so much thirst and so much hunger.

People as well as nations perish without scriptures. The scriptures are spiritual food for our spirit, which is just as important as physical food for our body.
