"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." - Acts 20:24

 

Faith is where you take the biggest spiritual risks in your life, especially within your calling. Exercising faith is fundamentally a risk. Each and every time you "step out" within your call to obey God you take a risk. - Dennis Cramer

How many people perish in a generation through empty learning, caring little for the service of God? And because they prefer to be famous rather than humble, they perish with their own thoughts. - Thomas a Kempis

 

Affirmation: I walk in the spirit, I shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

 

We should take a "love inventory" of all our relationships. Is there someone I truly dislike? Is there anyone who causes me to grieve the Spirit by forcing me to live in bitterness? - Tim LaHaye

Think of yourself as one about to take a journey. Like all expeditions, our journey starts with a departure. Long before we ever arrive at holiness, we must depart from self-righteousness and pride. - Francis Frangipane

Sanctification is the possessing the mind of Christ and all the mind of Christ. - John Wesley

 

Affirmation: I do not depend on what I can do, but on what the Spirit of the Lord will do through my situation.

 

The Lord is not just trying to change us -- He's trying to kill us! True Christianity requires the ultimate price -- the "whole burnt offering," which means our whole life must be place on the altar. - Rick Joyner

You need to resist the spirit of fear in order to walk forward in faith. You need to say, "In Jesus' name, I resist the spirit of fear. I command the spirit of fear to go from me." - Norvel Hayes

"Be not afraid, only believe." - (Mark 5:36)

 

Go beyond your natural mind. Drink deeper. Ask the Lord to help you. Be encouraged into a life of simple worship. - John Belt

God is calling us out of hiding, He is enticing us to come away to live again, love again, believe again, and to bring our relationship with Him to new heights. - T. A. Lewis
