Affirmation: I stay in touch with God so that I am nourished in both life and vision.

It is time to shed some old stuff and step into those new things God has for you. Don't try beating against a door already closed. Just trust God to open the new one for you! - Keith Miller

Exercising faith to fulfill your call will always result in permanent spiritual results - "fruit which remains" measured by the lives you have dramatically changed. - Dennis Cramer

"You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last, Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." - John 15:16

We are called to an eternal sense of "destiny". What God has made us places upon us an obligation to fulfill the purpose for which we were formed. - Reinhard Bonnke

There are no limitations to us in God's Kingdom. He has put an unlimited potential within us by His Spirit. Don't think about what you can't do. Think about what you can do through Christ. - John Belt

Affirmation: The ark which safely carries me through adversity is worship.

If you feel like you have not been loving Jesus enough or worshipping Jesus enough, start saying, "I Love You, Jesus. I worship you, Jesus." Start confessing the thing that you were not doing before so you can get it on the inside of your spirit and make it a part of you. - Norvel Hayes

Is the Spirit of God stirring your heart right now? Is the tide of worship rising in your life? Will you magnify Him and turn your mountains into molehills or magnify men and live life like a grasshopper? - Tommy Tenney

Scripture often refers to us a "vessels" of the Lord (Jeremiah 18). The one thing about being living vessels is that we leak. We need refilling with water and food, joy and love, affirmation and communication. The same is especially true with the presence of the Lord in our lives through the Holy Spirit. The way we "Walk in the Spirit," is to be continually filled with the Spirit. - Che Ahn

"Let the Spirit direct your lives, and do not satisfy the desires of the human nature." - Galatians 5:16

The disciples remembered the "facts" of the two miraculous feedings, but they had forgotten any spiritual lessons they might have learned. Likewise some people can quote scripture or remember what the sermon was about, but they can't perceive the spiritual life in the message. - Andrew Wommack

Affirmation: The power that I have been given to testify of the coming Kingdom is the power of life, which is more precious than anything I could ever possess on this earth.

The tendency to embrace the concept of God being an angry Father is done in equal proportion to a person's inability to demonstrate His power. There is a connection between our belief system and what actually flows through us. If we don't see Jesus' life as ultimate illustration of the will of God, we will continually undermine our ability to display it. - Bill Johnson

God wants you to burn with the fire of His presence. He wants you to be totally free from everything that has recently hindered you. Choose today to align yourself with God. - Ryan Wyatt

"The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed." - Exodus 3:2-3

If we choose to live a life of faith we will draw looks of suspicion from those around us who have chosen to settle in their comfort zone and not see a new and emerging future. - Garris Elkins

It is the imagined genius of self-will, the glory of learning, and the conceit of natural reason. These are the master builders of pride's temple in the heart of man, and like faithful priests they keep up the daily worship of the false god, self. - William Law
