“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
Which is harder, performing miracles or transforming people into godliness?
Miracles do not build us up. It is the word that builds us up, edifies and equips us.
It is possible to preach right and live wrong, but it is impossible to live right and preach wrong.
The Word of God Is Both Doctrine and Power.
Without authority, doctrine will be lifeless, empty letters which are actually destructive.
Men respond to doctrine but demons respond to power. You cannot debate demons into submission.
A church without missionaries is a social club.
The miraculous is the exclusive preserve of those who are committed to please God, rather than men.
Miracles do not save, only the word does.
It is possible to receive a miracle and still not know Jesus.
A proud heart is not submitted to God. Every prayer receives an answer, but the proud is not willing to accept whatever is contrary to his desires.
The right kind of person, praying the right kind of prayer, in the right kind of way will always get a right answer from God.
The right kind of person is the one who comes to God by faith in the work of Christ and continues to stand in faith.
The right kind of prayer is the one which asks for God’s will, with a complete trust that God’s will is the best for us.
Shallow waters are safe and fun, but they are unfruitful. Deeper waters are dangerous and scary, but they are very fruitful.
When God goes deep, you will no longer find Him in the shallows.
Giants getting bigger, means you are getting closer to your breakthrough. The edge of your breakthrough will be the scariest place you will ever be.
Joseph did not see himself merely as a blessed one, rather he understood that he was made to be a blessing.
When things do not go our way, we are still looking for ways to be a blessing. As a slave in Portiphar’s house, Joseph found ways to add value.
When he was unjustly thrown into prison, Joseph found ways to add value.
