Obedience is not measured by our ability to obey laws and principles, obedience is measured by our response to God’s voice.
In His mercy, God gives us the level of revelation that our character is prepared to handle.
Much of today’s church relies more on a book the early church didn’t have, than the Holy Spirit they did.
It is abnormal for a Christian not to have an appetite for the impossible. It has been written into our spiritual DNA to hunger for the impossibilities around us to bow at the name of Jesus.

I can’t afford to have thoughts in my head about me that God doesn’t have in His.
If you live cautiously, your friends will call you wise. You just won’t move many mountains.
I will not lower the standard of the Bible to my level of experience.
There’s something amazing about unbelief – it is able to fulfill its own expectations. Unbelief is safe because it takes no risk and almost always gets what it expects. Then, after a person gets the answer for their unbelief, they can say, I told you so.
I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it. Truths that are not experienced are, in effect, more like theories than truths. Whenever God reveals truth to us He is inviting us into a divine encounter.
Gifts are free, but maturity is expensive.
The way you silence fear is to give attention to faith.
The ability to embrace mystery is what attracts revelation.
God wants people to meet Him when they meet us.

The biggest enemy to prayer is praying for something you already have.
People who refuse to step out and be used by God become the critics of those who do. Risk takers, the ones who thrill the heart of God, become the targets of those who never fail because they seldom try.
When Jesus performed miracles, he wasn’t demonstrating what God can do, but what God can do through a man.
No one has ever overdosed on encouragement.
