The very key to knowing your purpose is discovering and celebrating your personal identity.
If you are searching for the secret of true joy, and victorious Holy Spirit-filled Christ living, the answer is simply this: Die! Die and keep on dying daily until all of you is dead and only Christ lives. Death is the key to life and life more abundantly.
Never settle for less than God’s best for your life.
Routines without ongoing assessment lead to stagnation and mediocrity.
First, don’t feed on drama. Stay calm. Horror movies are intended to be overly dramatic to entice your emotions. Notice, those who die in a horror flick are the ones who scream and freak out. They feed into the drama. When you are attacked on your Destiny journey, don’t give in to that drama in your.
There is a difference between discussion and argument. A discussion airs the issues, but an argument alleges charges and appoint blame.
The fact that God has exposed you to something is always a sign that it can be yours. God is exposing you so you can absorb Destiny in the deepest part of your soul. Breathe in, breathe in and believe and let God open the doors to Destiny through exposure.
We may not like to admit it, but what if our crushing is necessary in order for our potential to be fulfilled?
Hardship can humble you, but it cannot break you unless you let it. Your instinct for survival will see you through if you’re attuned to its frequency. Instinct will find a temporary stopgap without ever taking its sights off your larger goals. There’s no greater way to hone your instincts than to overcome adversity. Successful leaders know that instincts transform adversity into opportunity.
Street cred is hard won and Destiny requires you to pay it forward. God helps you through hard times so you can help someone else.
I’d rather you waste my money than waste my time.
Do you have any idea who you have the capacity to become? If you were not bound by the confines of your mind, who might you become?
A father is an image of a young man’s destiny, a living testimony of what time may bring to pass.
Can the wounded heal the hurting?
If you have been betrayed or wounded by someone you brought too close, please forgive them. They really were a blessing. You will only be better when you cease to be bitter!
Instincts under pressure crush the carbon of conformity and create diamonds.
Because we have offered no provision for sons and daughters who fall, many of our Adams and our Eves are hiding in the bushes.
The more your dreams evolve into reality, the closer you get to Destiny, the greater target you become for the negative opinions of others. People who don’t even know you may form impressions about who they think you are and what you do. They will critique whether you’re qualified, intelligent, attractive, competent, sophisticated, or savvy enough for whatever you’re doing. They’ll always conclude that you’re not enough and you have no business going after Destiny. You can’t please a hater.
Most people are manipulated by the approval of others, the paycheck that supports them, and the lifestyle that has handcuffed them to the brass ring of perceived success. On this path we eventually live like slaves to a man-made system. We chase the goals of others instead of pursuing our own dreams. We anesthetize our despair with the next purchase, pill, or plunder.
Soon I was to find that people who had been creative at one stage of growth now seemed empty of ideas – and worse, they seemed not to notice that the ground had moved up under their feet! As I grew and encountered higher ideals and new goals, what had once been acceptable now seemed lethargic at best and lethal if ignored. You can’t take everyone with you just because they were with you where you were before.
Have you ever been guilty of having a condescending attitude about another person’s weakness? How can we dare to think we can access the soul-cleansing blood that delivers us from the cesspool of our secret sins, and then look down on another member of Christ’s Body in disdain?
