“When God breathes He breathes on hard-hearted people.”

When the enemy comes with shame and blame, tell him to go measure the distance from east to west and get back to you.

God didn’t say, ‘Be still and feel that I am God,’ He said, ‘Be still and know’.

The Word of God spoke into the dry bones. His breath filled them, put tendons (repair), and put skin on…Then you will know I am God…When Jesus comes that will happen.

Advent allows us to recover during this four-week journey. It begins four Sundays before Christmas all the way up to Christmas. It lets us breath in those moments of faithfulness and helps us recognize that God is working.

The Gospel is not about going from bad to good, it’s about going from dead to alive!

We are responsible for our captivity to sin. In our foolishness, we forget God. However, God intervenes!

Passion is the degree of difficulty we are willing to endure to accomplish the goal.

When we are foolish God intervenes.

You don’t have to know everything about the mountain in front of you to take the next step.

If you’ve been served by God, you’ve arrived.

God is coming to intersect us in our funeral processions.

Sin has a way of shrinking God down and puffing ourselves up.

It’s a big world. Don’t get trapped by tiny dreams and feeble problems. Time for big prayers and bold faith.

Nothing steals God’s glory more than worrying believers who are driven through life by fear.

Christ didn’t die just so you could make to heaven; He lives so you can make it through earth!

Limit your thinking and expectation today to only the things God can do.

For me, managing my energy means slowing myself down before the big event. I slow down the racing thoughts in my mind. I concentrate on and slow down my breathing. I listen to and steady my heart rate.

Let God be the air in which your heart breathes at ease.

I do not write. My lungs just breathe in words.

I cried today and I cried yesterday, Salty tears rushing down. My face fastened breaths, palms in sweat and the unbearable guilt of my being.

Become the leader of your life. Lead yourself to where you want to be. Breathe life back into your ambitions, your desires, your goals, your relationships.

We need to put ourselves in the shoes of our customers. That is my new battle cry. Live and breathe Starbucks the way our customers do.

The soul is a breath of living spirit, that with excellent sensitivity, permeates the entire body to give it life. Just so, the breath of the air makes the earth fruitful. Thus the air is the soul of the earth, moistening it, greening it.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.
