There is no prison so secure that love cannot free you. There is no captor so strong that love cannot liberate you. There is no sin so terrible that love cannot restore you.
Jesus became our advocate or lawyer, and it is important that we never talk to the devil without our attorney present. We also should not do for the devil what he cannot do for himself. He cannot touch us; he can only talk to us. So when we self-destruct, we are doing for the devil what he cannot do for himself.
We cannot be satisfied with illustrative sermons, great music, and friendly services. We have been called to see the powers of darkness destroyed and our ruined cities restored.
You may have heard the expression “greater levels, greater devils.” This typically implies that when you are promoted spiritually, you should expect more intense warfare in your life. Yet what we sometimes fail to realize is that when God promotes us, He also protects us.

There is no circumstance that He can’t change, no hand dealt to you with which He can’t win, and no mistake so bad or sin so great that He can’t fully restore you!
As Romans 8:28 assures us, “We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Prophecy brings people into a revelation of the glory that God has assigned to them.
Every time we demean ourselves we are talking badly about the Artist and the Model.
We received it by asking. This means that even very gifted people are not necessarily mature Christians. They may not even have good character. Therefore, the gifts of the Spirit do not validate our walk with God.
The goal of all enemy assaults is to scare us out of our divine destiny.
I’ve often found myself in circumstances that were too big for me. But I’ve never faced anything in life that was too big for my family.

Fear is putting faith in the wrong kingdom.
