Zitat des Tages von Joseph Prince:
As they come forth, Lord, to sow, release upon them, Father, the power to get, to create, to receive wealth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
A lot of things we don't have to have, but they're enjoyable.
The only reason I don't want to commit adultery is because I love my wife and I love my lord.
Knowing that you are completely forgiven destroys the power of sin in your life.
Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets. Thousands and thousands of messages and voices bombard us from the moment we wake, fighting for our attention. All we see and hear, all day long, is news. And most of it is bad.
You cannot mock God because whatever good thing you do, you're gonna reap for it.
What you believe is very powerful. If you have toxic emotions of fear, guilt and depression, it is because you have wrong thinking, and you have wrong thinking because of wrong believing.
Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing, but God's grace will stop sin.
As you walk in God's divine wisdom, you will surely begin to see a greater measure of victory and good success in your life.
The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us.
Wrong believing puts people in a prison. Even though there are no physical shackles, wrong believing causes its inmates to behave as though they were incarcerated in a maximum-security penitentiary.
Only those who are built up can build others up, amen?
We are not forgiven because we are good. We are forgiven because Christ bore our sins.
Only the holy spirit, the spirit of the lord, can transform us.
Isn't it interesting that God appears holy when he's gracious?
It is the truth of grace and not of the law that brings you true freedom. The truth of the law only binds you. In fact, religious bondage is one of the most crippling bondages with which a person can be encumbered. Religious bondage keeps one in constant fear, guilt, and anxiety.
When we are fearful and worried all the time, we are living as if we don't believe that we have a strong and able Shepherd who is tenderhearted toward us, who only leads us to good places, who protects us and lovingly watches over us.
I began to realize that when people experience the love of God, it casts out their fear and frees them from guilt.
God doesn't want us to have rigid rituals with Him. In the new covenant, He is more interested in having a relationship with us.
The more I thought to myself, 'Are my thoughts right, am I being obedient enough?' the worse it was... one of the most painful things you can experience in life is not so much physical pain, but being self-occupied. Because to the extent you are self-occupied, that's the extent you will be in pain.
