As you pray for the Holy Spirit to make you aware of thoughts that come into your mind that don’t line up with God’s Word, you’ll begin to realize when those thoughts come and you can renew your mind with the Word.
Everything God tells us to do is for our good. Whether it’s direction you get in His Word or something He’s specifically put in your heart for your situation in life, the absolute best thing you can ever do is obey Him promptly and completely.
Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.
There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

I tell people, and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a servant of Christ.
I can tell you from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.
As we regularly spend time reading God’s Word and talking to Him in prayer, we put ourselves in position for Him to do things in our lives we could never do on our own.
Nobody likes to have trouble. The moment we get a hint that it’s coming, a common response is, ‘Oh no! Not again!’
Gaining a victory is more difficult than maintaining it once you have it.
I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.
Our feelings are unreliable and cannot be trusted to convey truth.
It is not that we don’t have faith it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies.
God wants to speak to you on a one-to-one basis every day. He wants to lead you to the good things He has in store for you.
So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.
Sometimes I just sit still and enjoy God’s presence.
When someone gives you offense, it doesn’t mean you have to take it.
Not everyone loves me, but I have to be okay no matter what they think about me.
