To be gone from the kingdom of God, to be an exile from God’s city, to be cut off from the divine life, to be without the manifold sweetness of God—is so mighty a punishment that no torments that we know can be compared with it.

Augustine

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Acts 5:29-32
The New King James Version

Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.

Oswald Chambers
