[Albert Finch]

Affirmation: God has called me with a holy calling, not according to my works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to me in Christ Jesus before the world began.

Many Christians are disjointed. They just move on aimlessly, their minds in a cloudy state, no pattern in view, no DESTINY in sight. - E. M. Bounds

God wants to increase your might! Be faithful with what has been given to you, and you will get more. Ask the Lord to release His might for you. - Keith Miller
"Therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." - 2 Timothy 2:1

Paul often wrestled in prayer for those whom he discipled --"until Christ be formed in you." We can avoid many unnecessary misunderstandings, relationship pitfalls and spiritual abortions that lead to destiny delay or destruction if we will take the responsibility to DISCIPLE others into their inheritance in Christ. - Catherine Brown

If I am in the presence of a person for at least five minutes, I consider it an divine appointment (to share the gospel). - Bill Bright

Affirmation: I exhort others into Kingdom realities.

The Holy Spirit does not draw us so we can hang up a "Do Not Disturb" sign and sit in our little comfort zone singing love songs to Jesus the rest of our lives. As fellow heirs with Christ, we are drawn into intimacy, then empowered in ministry to bring others into their destiny in Christ Jesus. - Mike Bickle

The Holy Ghost in the Christian was to be as powerful as the Holy Ghost was in Christ. Beloved, who has the faith to believe it? Who has faith to exercise it? We cannot exercise anything beyond what we believe to be possible. - John Lake

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father." - John 14:12

Let God have perfect liberty when you speak. Before God's message can liberate, the liberation must be real in you. - Oswald Chambers

If you have any good qualities, believe that other people have better ones; by doing so you will retain your humility. It does great harm if you place yourself above even one other person. - Thomas a Kempis

Affirmation: Wherever I go, and to wherever my influence extends, I bring the Kingdom of God into that place.

Spread your wings of worship and fly over life's circumstances. If you've run out of strength, then wait (and worship) a little longer! - Tommy Tenney

Many Christians live from a view that God is in Heaven and we are knocking at His door. This could not be further from the truth. Jesus said to His disciples I am now with you but I shall be IN YOU. If we are really His then He is in us. Now we are living from the newness of life standpoint, we connect spirit to Spirit with God in the inner courts of our heart - John Belt

"...And the communion of the Holy spirit be with you all." - 2 Corinthians 13:14

If your Gospel isn't touching others, it hasn't touched you! - Curry R. Blake

"Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again." - Dag Hammarskjold
