“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”
~ Matthew 7:13-14
The Holy Spirit was given to do essentially two things in our lives. He is to work within us and to work through us.
When He works within us, we are transformed into Christlikeness.
When He works through us, we are empowered to project the power of God to achieve His will on earth as it is in heaven.
Everything God gives is necessary and sufficient.

Jesus did not come merely to save us as refugees, but He came to pay a King’s ransom for us, as fellow heirs.
You can earn a doctorate in theology, operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit but fail to start the journey into Christlikeness.
Our salvation is a gift, but our rewards will be earned.
When we receive gifts, we feel loved. When we receive rewards, we feel valued because we are useful.
We are rewarded for pleasing God.
Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons will not be pleasing to God.
Whatever is happening in the world right now, if you belong to God and your expectations are from God, you will not end up like other men.
God always separates between right and wrong, good and evil, the just and the unjust… eventually.
The inheritance of the saints includes trials and tribulations.
