Charles Stanley quotes about
jesus prayer kingdoms
The amount of time we spend with Jesus - meditating on His Word and His majesty, seeking His face - establishes our fruitfulness in the kingdom.
people church opinion
I certainly respect other people's opinions, but I would not vote for a woman to be the pastor of a church.
victory events defeat
In times of defeat, we never know how close we are to victory. In every event of failure, God has planted a seed of success.
struggle adversity perspective
The reason so many of us struggle so intensely with adversity is that we have yet to adopt God's perspective and priorities.
prayer voice avalanches
God's voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamour.
attention undivided-attention
You always have God's undivided attention.
attitude lying reality
Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.
son blow destiny
When you become an instrument in God's hands as He transfers someone from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of His Son, you make a difference in the person's eternal destiny. Not only that, but Satan also receives a devastating blow.
spiritual children use
As God's children, we are not to be observers; we're to participate actively in the Lord's work. Spectators sit and watch, but we are called to use our spiritual gifts and serve continually.
new-year fear opportunity
Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.
thinking blessing views
In thinking about His many blessings, you view God's work from a new perspective.
attitude important spirit
Attitude and the spirit in which we communicate are as important as the words we say.
men praying
A man can preach no better than he prays.
pride storm looks
If we have built on the fragile cornerstones of human wisdom, pride, and conditional love, things may look good for a while, but a weak foundation causes collapse when storms hit.
