The fear of The Lord is a brake that stops you when you're in the wrong direction.
The wisest thing you'll ever do in this life is to draw close to God and to seek Him with all your heart.
Our devotional life with God is more like the planting of a garden. When we arise from sowing into the secret place, we will not usually be able to point to immediate results or benefits. What we sow today will require an entire season of growth before the results are manifest.
You don’t obey your way into faith (the Pharisees proved that); you believe your way into obedience.
Those who walk in radical obedience have made themselves ready for the storm, and they will overcome.
The nature of the enemy's warfare in your life is to cause you to become discouraged and to cast away your confidence. Not that you would necessarily discard your salvation, but you could give up your hope of God's deliverance. The enemy wants to numb you into a coping kind of Christianity that has given up hope of seeing God's resurrection power.
The Holy Spirit is profoundly committed to restoring the first commandment to first place in our lives.
. . .by lifting our hands we symbolically receive everything God is doing in our lives.
Loyalty is from above, betrayal is from below.
