[Albert Finch]

Affirmation: The life of grace far surpasses mere mental belief in the truths of God -- it frees my spirit to fly powerfully above all things.

You are destined to be a sign, wonder, and a miracle. All you have to be is hungry enough to glorify Him! - Keith Miller

Jesus said to Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9:6, "You will be told what you must do." That promise is yours -- You will be told. Once His words resonate through you, they will alter your self-concept. God's voice will preempt the facts of your life. This is your defining moment -- your manifesto. - your mission, your destiny. - Mario Murillo

Man, made in the image of God has a purpose - man neglects his purpose and thus he forgets who he is and what life means. - Francis Schaeffer

Do you want your Christianity to work? Then seek Jesus Himself as your source and standard of holiness. Do you want to see the power of God in your life? Then seek to know Christ's purity of heart. If we are becoming the people Jesus calls His own, we should be growing in holiness. A mature Christian will be both holy and powerful, but holiness will precede power. - Francis Frangipane

Affirmation: I shut the door on all the distractions of this life, the cares of this world, the busyness of my daily affairs and anything else that would keep me from pressing into God.

God knows exactly who you are and has a place specially made for you. There is nobody else like you and nobody can take your place. If you don't do what God asks, nobody else can. Working for God provides the opportunity to be what you truly are. - Reinhard Bonnke

"And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him." - Mark 1:10

Being a person on whom the Holy Spirit can remain has a cost. (Cost in this context has nothing to do with works. It is passion for Him and a reverence for His presence where every move we make has Him in mind.) - Bill Johnson

Ask the Holy Spirit to make you increasingly aware of any negative things you say to yourself - turn those hurtful thoughts into positive affirmations. -- Steve Munsey

The healthier and stronger a saint's spiritual life is, the less he joins the crowd (Jer. 15:17) - Watchman Nee

Affirmation: Since I am committed to prayer, I refuse to give up in the middle of battle and am determined to receive my reward.

We don't need everything figured out in our heads to move out into promises of God. When we take Him at His word we can know that God has everything lined up and ready to go. All we need to do is believe and move out where He shows us with full confidence and trust in Him. - John Belt

We've been trained to think that reality is what we can see. Actually, though, the person who is not living in faith is the one who is not living in reality. - Myles Munroe

"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1

You cannot overcome your flesh on your own; you have to start living from who you are in Christ. - Andrew Wommack

Jesus, by Your stripes I am healed. Empower me to believe, claim, walk in, and trust Your healing for every area of my life. Amen - William J. Seymour (September 1907)
