Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.
If you aren’t hungry for God, you are full of yourself.
We usually focus on what we’re doing or where we’re going, but God’s primary concern is who we’re becoming in the process.
Worship is forgetting about what’s wrong with you and remembering what’s right with God.
The more you’re willing to risk, the more God can use you. And if you’re willing to risk everything, then there is nothing God can’t do in you and through you.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.
God isn’t offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your prayers aren’t impossible to you, they are insulting to God.
What sets lion chasers apart isn’t the outcome. It’s the courage to chase God-sized dreams.
I’ve discovered that if I don’t take the first step, God generally won’t reveal the next step.
Each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground. It disappears for a season, but it eventually bears fruit that blesses future generations. In fact, our prayers bear fruit forever.
It’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one!
If you are not open to the unprecedented, you will repeat history. If you are open to the unprecedented, you will change history. The difference is prayer.
All of us love miracles. We just don’t like being in a situation that necessitates one.
Never underestimate the power of a single prayer.
The circumstances we ask God to CHANGE are often the circumstances God is using to CHANGE US.
Faith is unlearning this senseless worries and misguided beliefs that keep us captive. It is far more complex than simply modifying behavior. Faith is rewiring the human brain. We are literally upgrading our minds by downloading the mind of Christ.
Prayer is the difference between the best we can do and the best God can do.
You need to circle the goals God wants you to go after, the promises God wants you to claim, and the dreams God wants you to pursue. And once you spell Jericho, you need to circle it in prayer. Then you need to keep circling until the walls come tumbling down.
God blesses us more so that we can be more of a blessing to others.
