Most God-ordained dreams die because we are not willing to do something that seems illogical
You are someone else's miracle! God is setting up divine appointments and it is our job to keep them
Prayer is the difference between you fighting for God and God fighting for you. Secret prayer is our secret weapon.
Whatever you don't turn into PRAISE turns into PRIDE.
If we do the little things like they are big things, then God will do the big things like they are little things.
Jesus didn't die to make us safe. He died to make us dangerous! Faithfulness isn't holding the fort. It's storming the gates of hell with the light and love of Jesus Christ.
Maybe it's time to stop creating God in our image and let Him create you in His.
One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.
Faith is the willingness to look foolish.
Vision beyond your resources? Don't let fear dictate your decisions. If your vision is God-given, it will most definitely be beyond your ability and beyond your resources. The God who gives the vision is the same God who makes provision.
Faith doesn't reduce uncertainty. Faith embraces uncertainty.
If you are BIG ENOUGH for your dream, your dream isn't BIG ENOUGH for God.
God is in the business of strategically positioning us in the right place at the right time. A sense of destiny is our birthright as followers of Christ. God is awfully good at getting us where He wants us to go. But here’s the catch: The right place often seems like the wrong place, and the right time often seems like the wrong time.
You can have faith or you can have control, but you cannot have both.
