Never underestimate a believer whose been mistreated, misunderstood, and misinterpreted, but who purposely chooses to forgive and resists the temptation to become bitter and resentful.  THIS PERSON SHALL RISE AGAIN!

Proverbs 24:16 KJV - For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again : but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

  

Never underestimate the person who fails or falls miserably but repents quickly!

  

Psalm 37:24 KJV - Though he fall , he shall not be utterly cast down : for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

  

Never underestimate someone you feel is an oddly quiet person, because they may not be quiet before God!

  

Never underestimate someone who finally gets sick and tired of being sick and tired.  They might just use their faith!

  

Never underestimate someone who has spent quality time in prayer and devotions with the Lord.

  

Never underestimate the one who keeps failing but who refuses to quit.  Indeed this person may eventually become a smashing success!

  

Never underestimate a person who respects, reveres and spends tie reading God's Word.

  

Never underestimate anyone who truly loves God.

  

Never underestimate the man who passionately loves his wife.

  

Never underestimate the woman who adores her husband.

  

Never underestimate the power of a true worshipper!

  

Never underestimate someone who believes God is the God of Author of Another Chance!

  

Never underestimate yourself or anyone else who chooses to bounce back with the Lord's help!  As someone has said, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!"  God is your UMPIRE and He keeps adding innings until YOU WIN!

  

Someone has wisely noted, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!"

  

Unless you're willing to DIE FOR IT, you're probably not truly willing to LIVE FOR IT.

  

On the 8th day, God created Kimber, Colt, Sig-Sauer, and Ruger 1911 .45 ACP and 10mm PISTOLS!  I am convinced the 1911 Pistol is one of GOD'S SUPREME GIFTS TO MANKIND!  It is indeed a work of art and craftsmanship, not to mention it has plenty of one-shot stopping power against robbers, rapists, terrorists and nuts!  Ha!

  

You can be FRIENDLY with everyone (and should be), BUT... you should not be friends with everyone!

  

You are HUNG or SPRUNG by the friends you keep!  I know of a wife who used to hang out with godly friends, but then started to surround herself with stupid girlfriends, and wound up committing adultery herself and filing for her second divorce.

  

If you don't TREASURE the Godly Friends and Family God has given to you as GIFTS, you'll end TRASHING them, and switching loyalties to people who will take you away from God and His plan for your life, no to mention they will duplicate their on pain and fragmentation of life into your own.

  

Find a person hurting and heal them, and in so doing, be healed yourself!

  

Stay faithful to God and the significant others He has placed in your life, though hell itself try to blind you to the rewards of doing the same.

  

The enemy is very CLEVER at HIDING GOD'S REWARDS for faithfulness in any arena.  He attempts to blind our ability to think and act long term.  He messes with our FEELINGS so that we take our FOCUS off what really matters.  The temptation is to GET STUCK in suspended animation and captivity to our present emotions.  And if held captive in the prison of this set of emotions for long, they can become a STRONGHOLD and pattern that keep us from fulfilling our potential and divine destiny.

  

In order to gain the victory I have need to wash my mind DAILY with God's Word.  Even without sinning, I get soiled with the dirt and dust that gets kicked up from just walking through this sin-fallen world.  SO I NEED A DAILY BATH!

  

Your spirit man CRAVES the nourishment that you can only receive from feasting on God's Word!

  

In your natural mind and carnal thinking, you will always feel as if ANOTHER PLACE is greener pasture.  But resist the urge to cut and run.  Instead just bloom where you're planted!  'Tis God's responsibility to communicate with you if he wants a MAJOR CHANGE.  Don't try to twist His arm to get Him to bless your own plans out of your own present frustrations or boredom.

  

Beware of BOREDOM... it will lead you astray EVERY TIME!

  

Here I am Father, in the center of Your will to the best of my knowledge.  Help me SEE the opportunities right in front of me.  Help me REDEEM THE TIME instead of wasting it.  Help me SAVOR THE FLAVOR of ever moment and celebrate each and every little step towards progress.

  

CHECK OUT of anything that distracts you from God.  CHECK INTO everything that helps you grow closer to Him.

  

If it's a distraction, TRASH IT!  CAN IT!

  

If it ENHANCES your intimacy with the Lord, TREASURE IT and GUARD IT with diligence.

  

No sin is worth losing the TOUCH OF GOD on your life.  And if you dabble long enough in any sin, this will indeed happen.  Remember Samson. Remember Saul the King.

  

Sin diminishes.

Sin stains.

Sin pollutes.

Sin lies.

Sin is not a friend to anyone.

Sin is not a win.

Sin leads to more sin.

Sin exacts a heavy toll on your soul.

Sin delays everything good in your life.

Sin starts you on the wrong track.

Sin's pleasure is short-lived but its pain is longstanding.

Sin doesn't truly satisfy, only quickly tickles.

  

Sin promises a thrill, but leaves a chill.

  

Sin promises a thrill but aims to kill.

  

No pleasure is as pleasurable as the RIVER OF GOD.

  

Psalm 36:8 KJV - They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the RIVER OF THY PLEASURES.

  

There are TWO RIVERS:  The RIVER OF SIN'S PLEASURES and THE RIVER OF GOD'S PLEASURES.  You and I both choose daily from which to drink.  If you drink deeply from God's river, you will lose your taste for sin's river.  If you keep swimming out into sin's river, you will lose your taste for God's river of pleasures.

  

Psalm 46:4 KJV - There is a river, the streams whereof shall MAKE GLAD the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

  

There are TWO RIVERS:  One makes you GLAD!  One makes you SAD.

  

Drink God's River DAILY in prayer.

  

Drink God's River DAILY in Bible Reading.

  

Drink God's River in RECKLESS ABANDONED, WILD AND TRIUMPHANT, LOUD AND EXPRESSIVE PRAISE & WORSHIP at church and I private.

  

Drink God's River CONSISTENTLY and REGULARLY with the other saints at CHURCH.  Meet, meet, meet!  Gather, gather, gather!  Be addicted to the warmth and safety your local church furnishes you!

  

  

Drink God's River DAILY by letting the river of your prayer language, tongues, flow freely!  Let the river flow, man, let it flow!  Tongues is the entry into the supernatural and the Bible teaches that when you pray or sing in tongues you and God are exchanging divine secrets.  It as teaches you are edifying your spirit man when you pray I tongues.  The word "edify" means to BUILD UP.  So when you're LETTING RIP your prayer language (tongues),  you're building RIPS through the REPS into your spiritual muscles. 

  

I have found that if I GO BACK AND FORTH between praying in English for a while and then praying in tongues for a while, and then back to English that suddenly (or accidentally slowly) my English prayers FEEL and SOUND more inspired and accurate.  What is actually happening is the phenomena that Paul spoke of in Corinthians, for a man to pray that he be able to interpret his utterances in tongues.  It can happen unconsciously, without having prayed for the same, because in the past when reading Corinthians you had prayed for the same to happen to you, but you were trying to hard to make it happen (intellectually), so nothing happened at that time.  But now as you go back and forth in between both types of prayer you accidentally on purpose find yourself PRAYING MORE FORCEFULLY AND INTIMATELY.  THAT, my brother and sister... THAT... is indeed THE GIFT OF INTERPRETATION happening as you are speaking to God!  If you will but let this phenomenon happen enough in private, it will begin to happen occasionally in the assembly of saints and God will use it to accurately bless someone else too.

  

To get "IN THE SPIRIT" go "BACK & FORTH."  John the Revelator was going "BACK & FORTH" when he suddenly got carried away "in the Spirit", and continued to go BACK & FORTH between the spirit realm and the natural realm writing what he was seeing and hearing over there on the other side!  The key to getting "INTO THE SPIRIT" where the supernatural occurs in your life and ministry is PRAYING MUCH, alternating BACK & FORTH between your normal native language and TONGUES, your supernatural prayer language (which belongs to EVERY Christian according to Jesus and the Apostle Paul, whether or not it is ever employed and enjoyed by faith by said Christian...  it is theirs nonetheless... and sad, by the way... if tongues are never exercised by faith because of erroneous teaching by other sincere Christians and great preachers who've sadly never experienced tongues themselves because of wrong church traditions, then they accidentally on purpose pass on their erroneous teachings which rob their fellow Christians from experiencing EVERYTHING God has for them.  Sad, very sad!). 

  

PRAYER:  That was simple!  BACK & FORTH!
