God Is Not There Just For Emergencies.

Faith Is A Decision We Make About Where We Are Going To Put Our Trust.

God Is Speaking To Us. But Are We Listening To Him? When Our Conscience Begins To Nudge Us For Whatever Reason, We Might Have This Low-level Misery Or Uneasiness About Whatever It Is We've Done Or We're About To Do. At Times Like This, It's Wise To Prayerfully Consider Whether We're Offending God With Our Actions.

Contentment With Life Is Not A Feeling, But It Is A Decision We Must Make. Contentment Does Not Mean That We Never Want To See Change Or Improvement, But It Does Mean We Can Be Happy Where We Are And Will Do The Best We Can With What We Have. It Also Means We Will Maintain An Attitude That Allows Us To Enjoy The Gift Of Life.

Our Joy Does Not Have To Be Based On Our Circumstances.

So Much Of What We Do Every Single Day Is The Result Of Habits That We Have Formed Over Time.

It's So Easy To Settle For Less Than God's Best For Us Because We Don't Always Feel Like Taking Responsibility For Our Behavior Or Putting Forth Some Effort To Do What We Need To Do So We Can Accomplish Great Things For God And Help People. But The Cost Of Settling For Less Is Actually Harder Than Being Completely Obedient To God's Will.

Either We Will Spend Our Lives Trying To Take Care Of Ourselves Or We Will Let Go And Let God Take Care Of Us As We Put Our Faith And Trust In Him.

Some Christians Feel Guilty When They Are Doing Something That Isn't 'spiritual.' Somehow Or Another, They Feel The Need To Hurry Through The Grocery Store, Dash Through The House Cleaning, And Rush Through All The Daily Aspects Of Life That Seem Irrelevant To Their Faith.

I Used To Have A Real Problem With Self-pity. Every Time The Devil Would Throw A Pity Party, I Would Attend.

The Flesh, Or Human Nature, Is Generally Lazy And Self-centered.

There's A Deceptive Sin That Can Keep Us From Walking In Love: Pride. It's Deceptive Because When You Have Pride, You're Usually Too Proud To Admit It. I Know This Because I Used To Have Teachings On Pride And They Didn't Sell Well.

Addictions - Run To Jesus Instead Of Running To Your Addiction.

I Think A Lot Of People Believe That They Have To Be Poor To Serve God, That They Can't Have Anything. They Don't Really Even Know How To Give. And One Of The Main Principles In The Bible Is You'll Reap What You Sew, And That If You Give Into The Lives Of Others, That It Shall Be Given Back To You, Good Measure, Pressed Down And Shaken Together. If You Go Plant One Tomato Seed, You Don't Get Back One Tomato; You Get A Vine Of Tomatoes.

You Know, It's One Thing To Say You Believe. It's Another Thing To Have Your Faith Tested Severely And Come Out On The Other Side Of It Still Believing God.

Just Deciding To Forgive Isn't Enough Because Willpower Alone Won't Work - We Need Divine Strength From God. As He Gives Us The Strength, We Need To Pray For Our Enemies And Bless Them. Praying For Those Who Have Hurt Us Is Vital To Successfully Forgiving Them.

And I Think That A Lot Of People That Choose These Alternative Lifestyles, I Think It's Because They've Been Hurt Somewhere Along The Line Very Badly.

Worry Is A Down Payment On A Problem You May Never Have

When An Injustice Happens, We Want To Be Vindicated. People Feel That If They Forgive The Person Who Hurt Them, Then They Will Continue To Take Advantage Of Them Or Not Take Responsibility For What They Did Wrong. If We're Honest, We'll Admit That We Usually Want The Person Who Hurt Us To Pay For What They Did. We Can't Get Past This Until We Get The Revelation That Only God Can Pay Us Back. He Is Our Vindicator - He Will Heal And Restore Us If We Will Trust Him And Forgive Our Enemies As He Has Told Us To Do.

If You Want A Testimony, You Are Going To Have A Test.

Satan Frequently Steals The Will Of God From Us Due To Reasoning. The Lord May Direct Us To Do A Certain Thing, But If It Does Not Make Sense - If It Is Not Logical - We May Be Tempted To Disregard It. What God Leads A Person To Do Does Not Always Make Logical Sense To His Mind. His Spirit May Affirm It And His Mind Reject It, Especially If It Would Be Out Of The Ordinary Or Unpleasant Or If It Would Require Personal Sacrifice Or Discomfort.

Our Enemy, The Devil, Wants To Control Us, And His Target Is Our Will. The Main Way He Tries To Influence Our Will Is Through Lying To Us.

If You're Gonna Be Free, You Gotta Stop Caring What Everyone Thinks.

Remember God Is Not Surprised By Your Inabilities, Your Imperfections, Or Your Faults. He Has Always Known Everything About You That You Are Just Now Finding Out, And He Chose You On Purpose For Himself.

Wisdom Is Exercised In The Choices You Make.

Choices You Make

A Lot Of Times, People Make Other People Responsible For Their Joy: 'you're Not Making Me Happy, You're Not Doing This, You're Not Doing That.'

God Is Not Asking Us To Not Have Anything Or Even To Give Away Every Single Thing That We Have. He Is Asking Us To Share With People Who Have Less Than Us, Which We Do All The Time.

Today Lord I Am Going To Do My Best With Your Help And For Your Glory. I Realize That There Are Many Different People In The World With A Variety Of Opinions And Expectations. I Will Concentrate On Being A God-pleaser And Not A Self-pleaser Or Man-pleaser. The Rest I Leave In Your Hands Lord. Grant Me Favor With You And With Men And Continue Transforming Me Into The Image Of Your Dear Son. Thank You Lord.

I Don't Want To Spend My Whole Life Talking About The Promised Land Without Ever Getting There. I Want To Live In It.

When We Make Progress Quickly, It Feeds Our Emotions. Then, When There's A Period Of Waiting Or We Hit A Plateau, We Find Out How Committed We Really Are And Whether We're Going To See Things Through To The Finish Or Quit.

Have God Make A Message Out Of Your Mess.

Dread, Which Is Closely Related To Fear, Steals The Ability To Enjoy Ordinary Life And Makes People Anxious About The Future. It Keeps Them From Looking Forward To The Next Day, The Next Month, Or The Next Decade.

I Was In My Late Thirties When My Eyes Were Opened To Truth In God's Word That Showed Me I Wasn't Living The Abundant Life Jesus Died For Me To Have. I Had A Very Negative Mindset And Was Miserable Most Of The Time Because Of The Abuse I Had Experienced Throughout My Childhood.

Satan Gains More Ground In The Believer's Life Through Unforgiveness Than Any Other Thing, So Be Sure You Let Go Of All Offense And Pray For Those Who Have Hurt You. It May Be Hard, But It Is The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself And The Kingdom Of God. Don't Stay Angry At Anyone Today Because It Will Hurt You More Than It Hurts Them.

It Pleases Our Heavenly Father When We Acknowledge And Confess To Him Our Inability To Run Our Own Lives. That Is What We Are Doing When We Say, "father, Help Me! I Need You!"

At School I Pretended I Had A Normal Life, But I Felt Lonely All The Time And Different From Everyone Else. I Never Felt Like I Fit In, And I Wasn't Allowed To Participate In After-school Activities, Go To Sports Events Or Parties Or Date Boys. Many Times I Had To Make Up Stories About Why I Couldn't Do Anything With My Classmates.

God Doesn't Love Me Any More Or Less Because I Had Some Work Done On My Face. You Know, I Prayed About It A Long, Long, Long, Long, Long Time, Because There Again, I Wouldn't Want To Do Anything That I Felt Was Going To Be Offensive To God.

Our Words Will Either Bring Life And Victory Or Death And Destruction. If We Want To Be Happy, We Have To Be Serious About Speaking Words Of Life That Line Up With God's Word.

When I Read The Bible, I See That We Should Have Victory In Our Life And Be Overcomers, And I Can't Even Control My Temper. I'm Impatient. I'm Hard To Get Along With. I'm Selfish And Self-centered, And I Don't Seem To Have Any Control Over It.

Worrying Will Not Solve Your Problem.

I Like Gifts. I Like To Give Them And I Like To Get Them.

Now Whether You Like It Or Not, Whether You Want To Admit It Or Not, Whether You Want To Operate On It Or Not, You Are Made The Righteousness Of God In Jesus Christ. Most People Who Go To Denominational Churches Never Ever Hear That! They Never Hear It! Never! All I Was Ever Taught To Say Was, 'i'm A Poor, Miserable Sinner.'

But This Self-righteous Attitude Is A Sin That We Can Be Blinded To Because We're So Focused On What The Other Person Did Wrong. The Reality Is This Attitude Is Worse Than The Wrong Behavior We're Judging.
