Affirmation: My job is to win the lost to Jesus Christ. There is life coming out of me wherever I go.

Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister? - Oswald Chambers

The indwelling Holy Spirit enables us to bear more of the revelation of Jesus than was possible for the original twelve disciples. - Bill Johnson

Meditation is threatening to us because it boldly calls us to enter into the living presence of God for ourselves. It tells us that God is speaking in the continuous present and wants to address us. - Richard Foster

 

Affirmation: God increases in me as I behold His glory - not my own shortcomings.

My purpose is to pray for believers and those who do not know God. My prayer and my faith will make a difference. - Andrew Murray
