One step of obedience can open your eyes. One step of obedience can reverse the curse. One step of obedience can begin a new chapter in your life!
Few things leave as lasting an impression as hearing someone genuinely intercede for you.
The true purpose of prayer is to get into God’s presence so He can outline His agenda for us. Here’s my advice: pray about what to pray about. God will reveal a promise, a problem, or a person. Then circle whatever God has prompted you to pray for with the same kind of consistency with which the earth circles the sun.
We have a natural tendency to remember what we should forget and forget what we should remember. That’s where mantras come in. They serve as.
Our lives are not just measured in minutes. They are measured in moments – moments when the minutes stand still.
We pray out of our ignorance, but God answers out of His omniscience. We pray out of our impotence, but God answers out of His omnipotence. God has the ability to answer the prayers we should have prayed but lacked the knowledge or ability to even ask. During.
A. W. Tozer pictured paniym this way: “God is above, but He’s not pushed up. He’s beneath, but He’s not pressed down. He’s outside, but He’s not excluded. He’s inside, but He’s not confined. God is above all things presiding, beneath all things sustaining, outside of all things embracing and inside of all things filling.”36.
Goal setting is good stewardship. Instead of letting things happen, goals help us make things happen. Instead of living by default, goals help us live by design. Instead of living out of memory, goals help us live out of imagination.
Prayer is asking God to do something, future tense; praise is believing that God has already done it, past tense.
We should stop asking God to get us out of difficult circumstances and start asking Him what He wants us to get out of those difficult circumstances.
There is nothing God loves more that keeping promises, answering prayers, performing miracles, and fulfilling dreams.
Nothing belongs to us, not even ourselves. But the exchange rate is unbelievable. All of our sin is transferred to Christ’s account, and all of His righteousness is transferred to our account. God cancels our debt, writes us into His will, and calls it even!
Prayer turns us into first-class noticers. It helps us see what God wants us to notice. The more you pray, the more you notice; the less you pray, the less you notice. It’s as simple as that. Let me explain how.
You can’t make a difference without making waves, and some people in the boat won’t like it. So be it. Rock the boat anyway.
The beauty of obedience is this: it relieves us of responsibility. It takes all the pressure off of us and places it squarely on God’s sovereign shoulders.
We need the patience of the planter. We need the foresight of the farmer. We need the mindset of the sower.
We talk about “doing” the will of God, but the will of God has much more to do with “being” than “doing.
If the blessing stops with you, it’ll eventually stop altogether! Instead of being a conduit for blessing and maintaining forward momentum, we settle for sideways energy.
If we want to see God move, we need to make a move. If it seems like God isn’t moving in our lives, maybe it’s because we aren’t moving. But if we make a move, God will move heaven and earth to honor our faith.
We’ll never see God part the Jordan River if our feet are firmly planted on dry ground. But if we step into the river, God will part it.
Long before we woke up this morning and long after we go to sleep tonight, the Holy Spirit was and is circling us in prayer. And if that doesn’t infuse us with holy confidence, I don’t know what will. But it isn’t just the Holy Spirit who is interceding for us; the Son of God is interceding for us as well. They are interceding for the will of God to be accomplished in our lives. We are double circled. They are circling us all the time with songs of deliverance.
