Some things are worth fighting for.
Some things are worth praying for.
Some things are worth dying for.
Some things are worth living for.
I.D. you Divinely Inspired Ideas.
To you, Jesus is one or the other: Central or Peripheral.
There are two Wills of God for me: God's General Will for my life as revealed in the Scripture. God's Specific Will for my life as revealed by the Holy Spirit to me personally over time. God's Specific Will for my life will NEVER contradict God's General Will from the Bible.
You are NOT going to be good at everything. Identify the few things God has made you good at, and do those things passionately with reckless abandon to the Lord.

Different Kinds of Prayer
Atheist vs Man of God
Max Jukes versus Jonathan Edwards
(Quoted in America is Too Young to Die by Leonard Ravenhill, Minneapolis, Minnesota: Bethany Fellowship, 1979, p. 112) Max Jukes, an atheist, lived a godless life. He married an ungodly woman, and from this union there were 310 who died as paupers, 150 were criminals, 7 were murderers, 100 were drunkards, and more than half of the women were prostitutes. His 540 descendants cost the State one and a quarter million dollars before inflation. Then there is a record of a great man of God, Jonathan Edwards. He lived at the same time as Max Jukes, but he married a godly woman. An investigation was made of 1,394 known descendants of Jonathan Edwards, of which 13 became college presidents, 65 college professors, 3 United States Senators, 30 judges, 100 lawyers, 60 physicians, 75 army and navy officers, 100 preachers and missionaries, 60 authors of prominence, one Vice-President of the United States, 80 public officials in other capacities, 295 college graduates, among whom were governors of states and ministers to foreign countries. Jonathan Edwards' descendants did not cost the state a penny.
Your point of fear is your point of failure.
Fear paralyzes. Faith catalyzes.
Fear must be resisted, prayed against, and rebuked as one would overcome a temptation.
Fear must become an enemy to you like sin.
Peter didn't sink from the wind and the waves. He sank when he took his eyes off Jesus and his mind of Jesus' word to "Come," and began to LOOK at the wind and the waves.
It's NOT the mountain facing us that sinks us; it's our fear of it.
FACE your mountain, knowing that it is not even a speck of dust to the Lord.
Mark 11:22-24 MSG - Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake' - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything.
Numbers 13:33 KJV - And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Isaiah 40:22 KJV - It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.
Paul's Prayers: The Most Powerful Prayers In The Universe!
Satan is a liar! Whenever he speaks to your mind, he speaks his native language!
John 8:44 NIV - You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Guarantee you that if you are feeling an emotion that's negative, you are listening to a lie of the devil.
Someone has wisely said: "Beware of the half-truth - you may have hold of the wrong end!"
Eve believed a half-truth.
In Jesus' wilderness experience, Satan tried to get the Lord to believe half-truths.
Just like a little mud in a large glass of water is still muddy water, a little lie mixed in with mostly truth is still a lie.
The origin of any cult is someone or some group believing half-truths.
In the 2102 elections, Americans believed half-truths and placed a secular humanist and a president who has demonstrated the most anti-Biblical agenda of any president back into office.
When a nation tries to redefine marriage, that nation has totally lost its way.
When a nation murders its unborn in the womb by slicing them up, burning them with salt, or dissolving them with chemicals, that nation has lost its way entirely.
Society unravels without respect for God's definition of marriage.
Proverbs 1:10 ESV - My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
Exodus 23:2 ESV - You must not follow a crowd in doing evil things.
The MAJORITY is usually WRONG! ...As demonstrated repeatedly in Bible examples.
The crowd thinks they are the majority. But from an eternal perspective, God Himself is the only MAJORITY! Everyone else together is just the minority.
Normal is what God says normal is, not what men say it is.
Obama's secular postmodern agenda is not normal, but abnormal and dysfunctional to God.
Homosexuality is NOT normal to God.
Abortion is NOT normal to God.
Excessive debt, wild spending, and heavy taxation is not normal to God.
Tolerance of Islam is not normal to God.
Pornography is not normal to God.
Normal to God is healthy to man.
God is NOT tolerant of anything that hurts people. |
