We open the door for God to work by placing faith in His Word, and we open the door for Satan to work by placing faith in his word. He places thought in our minds that are not true, but can become true for us if they are believed.
Your fellowship with God flows freely when you’re willing to forgive, but it gets blocked by unforgiveness.
Trusting God brings life.
You can’t do BIG things when you think “little”.
You can’t be pitiful AND powerful.
It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.
The source of our stress isn’t really difficulties, circumstances and situations-it’s our attitude and approach toward them.
A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.
I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.
Be patient with yourself even when you make mistakes.
God plants dreams in people’s hearts. But many people do not continue all the way to the end in order to follow Him to the fulfillment of that dream.
Forgiveness is a CHOICE, not a feeling.
A demonstration of sincere concern can be a strong building block of love.
I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.
I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.
God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.
We may feel fear but we do not have to give in to it. We can do whatever we need and want to do, even if we have to “do it afraid.” Courage is not the absence of fear; it is action in the presence of fear.
God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.
If you can’t learn to enjoy your life when you have problems, you may never enjoy it because we’ll always have problems.
Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it’s damaging.
