A promise is a commitment to do something later, and a vow is a binding commitment to begin doing something now and to continue to do it for the duration of the vow. Some vows, or contracts, are for life; others are for limited periods of time.
I am convinced that God Himself is tampering with the economic system of the world to reduce us back to Him.
We need to define what culture is. Every human being lives within a culture, and culture means “To grow in.” It means to literally fall, and this is exactly what I believe is happening all around us right now.
Leadership potential exists in everybody. What I think we have missed is that we have somehow relegated leadership only to a special, talented few people.
Principles are laws that are established by the creator or the manufacturer by which a product functions. If you violate those laws, then you produce malfunction, which is what we call failure. If you obey those laws and align yourself with those laws, then you are guaranteed success.
Leadership will either lead you into a ditch or lead you into purpose. We need our leaders, especially those who are teaching our young people, to have the right message.
We need to challenge our own theology, challenge the curriculum of our Bible schools and our seminaries, and ask simple questions. Are we teaching and producing ministers who have the right message?
Young people all over the world are very frustrated. They are very disillusioned. Many of them are turning their back on religion. They are walking away from the faith of their parents, and most of this is because religion has failed them.
The first word Jesus used in His earthly ministry was repent. Repent means to change the way you’ve been conditioned to think, and I believe that is the only way we are going to see the impact of the original concepts and idea of God.
Culture is a product of law. And laws create norms for society. This is why anyone who wants to change the culture of a country must try to change the norms of the country.
We need to stop focusing on people leaving earth and focus on, like Jesus said, the Kingdom of God is the yeast. Yeast invades dough.
We need to put people in positions of authority in government, business, law, medicine, media, sports and entertainment who are filled with the laws of God so that we can bring those laws into effect.
Leadership is birthed out of anger!
Every human being was created to dominate and lead in an area of gifting.
Many people are leaders trapped in a follower’s body.
God designed the world in such a way that everything functions on principles. Principles are eternal laws established and inherent in creation that make creation function.
Everything in life is built on principles – plants, seas, birds, all of the natural elements of nature, they all follow and obey certain basic fundamental principles.
Failure is predictable if you break laws, success is predictable if you obey laws. I discovered and learned that truth when I was 14 years old. Not everyone discovers that. Some people take a lifetime to learn that.
I went from one state of life to another state of life by obeying, understanding, and applying the principles that are laid down in the Bible.
The Bible is really not a religious book but a divine manual written by the manufacturer of humanity by which the product man is supposed to live. If we learn those principles and obey them, then we find that the process of failure to success becomes more inevitability than experiment.
Nothing is more difficult than trying to correct history.
