“Radical obedience always gives priority to what God has said over what He hasn’t said.”

The biggest enemy to prayer is praying for something you already have.

Fear is a thief. It robbed Peter of a perfectly good walk on water, & kept the other eleven in the boat.

If you don’t live by the praise of men you won’t die by their criticism.

Divine favor causes you to rise to the top in your sphere of influence, and the reality is that favor can be recognized more easily is your start at the bottom.

It is unnatural for a Christian not to have an appetite for the impossible.

Any area of my life for which I have no hope is under the influence of a lie.

You cannot hold God hostage (to your questions). He doesn’t owe you an answer. If you want the peace that passes understanding, you’re going to have to give up your right to understanding. It’s called trust.

You have authority over every storm you can sleep in

I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it.

Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.

Never take your obedience as the reason God blesses you; obedience is the outcome of being rightly related to God.

When absolute control and rigid obedience pose as love within the family and the local faith-community , we produce trained cowards rather than Christian persons.

God does not call us to be successful, but to be obedient.

The disciples obey because that’s what people do when someone rises from the dead and gives instructions.

A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.
