It is absolutely imperative at the outset that you come to terms with this simple yet life-changing truth: God is for you. If you don’t believe that, then you’ll pray small timid prayers; if you do believe it, then you’ll pray big audacious prayers.
Praying through is all about CONSISTENCY and INTENSITY. It’s ‘all-nighter’ prayer. It just won’t take ‘NO’ for an answer!
Half of spiritual growth is learning what we don’t know. The other half is unlearning what we do know.
Faith is not logical. But it isn’t illogical either. Faith is theological. It does not ignore reality; it just adds God into the equation.
Uniqueness isn’t a virtue. It’s a responsibility.
If you don’t take the risk, you forfeit the miracle.
When you open your Bible, God opens His mouth.
I love to read. I remember hearing that the average author takes two years to write a book. So when I read a book, I feel like I am getting two years of life experiences.
The Bible is the place where God bears His soul.
Verse by verse, the Bible becomes more than theory. It becomes my firsthand experience.
The antidote for fear of failure is not success but small doses of failure.
The healthiest and holiest people are the people who laugh at themselves the most. Failure helps us take God more seriously and ourselves less seriously.
We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.
Don’t just read the Bible. Start circling the promises. Don’t just make a wish. Write down a list of God-glorifying life goals. Don’t just pray. Keep a prayer journal. Define your dream. Claim your promise. Spell your miracle.
If we repent, God always recycles our mistakes.
Have you ever noticed that when you pray, coincidences happen? And when you don’t, they don’t.
One way to show someone you love them is to simply go out of your way for them. It’s the gift of inconvenience.
The gospel costs nothing but it demands everything.
Whatever God wants to do through you, He will do in you first. You’ve got to be what you want to see.
Leaders need the courage to acknowledge when something isn’t working.
