[Albert Finch]

Affirmation: The Word says I can hear God's voice and I believe it - I do hear the voice of God!

Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible for other souls spiritually before God? - Oswald Chambers

Jesus wore the crown of thorns on His head so that you can have a sound mind free from fears, guilt, depression, anxieties and stress. - Joseph Prince

"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? - Romans 8:32

Who do you need Jesus to be at this time in your life? Do you need Him as your physical healer? Then define Him as Jesus, My Healer. Do you need Him to be your provider? Then call Him Jesus, My Provider. If you need Him to restore a relationship then call Him Jesus, My Restorer. Invite a well-defined Jesus into your circumstance and your circumstance will begin to yield to His presence. - Garris Elkins

Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility. - Jonathan Edwards

Affirmation: Nothing's wrong with God, nothing's wrong with the Word and nothing's wrong with me! I am going to receive my miracle!

How and what we communicate has the potential to change the atmosphere, creating the context for people to be released to their destiny. Therefore our communication skills must come under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Done correctly, our words are able to release the presence of God. - Bill Johnson

Our pride and self-confidence keep us from God's help; the clamor of our many ideas and desires drown the whisper of the still small voice of God. Indeed, in God's eyes, the best of human successes are still "wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked." - Francis Frangipane

"For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked." Revelation 3:17

 

Remember that all the things of this world are transitory. All things are passing, and yourself with them. See that you do not cling to them, lest you become entangled and perish with them. - Thomas a Kempis

By perseverance the snail reached the ark. - Charles Spurgeon

Affirmation: Extravagant worship is my lifestyle.

God is looking for a people of faith. Jesus asked the question, "Will the Son of Man find faith on the earth when He returns in His glory?" We want to be found with a faith in God that is active and living. Passivity has no value in the Kingdom of God. God calls us to be actively engaging our faith by taking steps out into the unknown. - John Belt

Spiritual discontentment is the nature of a truly Holy Spirit-governed life. It will always be pressing on to something more of the Lord. - T. Austin-Sparks

"Not that I have obtained, or am already made perfect...but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind... I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:12-14

A dead man or woman does not react to an offense. The truth is that the person who is offended by the words of others only proves that death to self has not been finished. - Alice Smith

Lord, I desire to be crucified to self so that I may live totally for You. Amen - William J. Seymour
