Good things began to happen to David almost immediately because he started looking at his world through eyes of blessing rather that eyes of failure. Even as he overcame the lion and the bear, he knew he could overcome giants. And just as he took authority and overcame everything that threatened his ascent to the throne, you must take authority and overcome everything that threatens your ascent into your destiny. -- Cindy Trimm

Affirmation: I release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought until it totally consumes my life.

 

Many churches are so focused on the salvation message that they fail to feed and help mature the sheep who have already come to salvation. Believers should be equipped to disciple the new believers so they will be effective in personal ministry. - Rick Joyner

 

Regardless of what kind of prison you are in or what problem threatens to defeat you, if you want God to come into your cell, you must resist the temptation to grumble, murmur, and complain. You have to make the decision to praise Him instead. - Myles Munroe

Our place is as intercessors..as the one who is to stand between the living and the dead, as those whom God can trust and use to pray down the power and mercy and blessing of God. - John Lake

Without the gate-opener of praise and thanksgiving, we are left in a place of stagnation. The river of God's Life is dammed up because of our lack of appreciation for what He has done and is doing. - John Belt

 

Affirmation: I speak God's word so much that it eventually affects my heart, and I begin believing it.

 

The risen Christ must live His life in us and be our all, or His words only make an outward sound upon our ears and a passing image in our minds, while our hearts remain empty of His life and power. - William Law

"God gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did." - Romans 4:17

 

If you didn't receive that thing that you were looking for from God, then spend that time hunting what the Scriptures say are promised to you rather than hollering, "Oh, God, why me?" - Norvel Hayes

Some of us have been told that it is offensive to "preach" to people, that it is rude to share the message of Christ. But it is the foolishness of the message when it is preached, proclaimed, or declared that God saves those who believe. - Wendell Smith
