Zitat des Tages von Joyce Meyer:
Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.
Fear is a spirit that produces a feeling.
Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can't comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there's no life and love inside.
Satan is the master distracter. He is always working to keep us off track in our walk with God.
Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it's damaging.
God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.
If you're in a workplace you don't like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness - and He's putting His confidence in you!
There are a lot of 'chicken Christians.' Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.
If you want to live in the fullness of God's anointing, fill your mouth with His Word.
The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.
If selfishness is the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy!
Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can't let our circumstances or what others do or don't do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.
I'm just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we're on. We can't have any understanding of it, because we're not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.
If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. It means to think of something over and over.
Not everyone loves me, but I have to be okay no matter what they think about me.
When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.
Some people have a hard time getting rid of stuff. If that's you, pray for God to give you the courage to get rid of things you don't really need or things He wants you to give away. This will help keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free.
Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don't give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.
Over the years, I've learned that a confident person doesn't concentrate or focus on their weaknesses - they maximize their strengths.
Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.
Humble people ask for help.
We clearly see in God's Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It's easier to come up with excuses for why we can't do things that are hard or that we really don't want to do.
The great quest of life has always been to discover truth.
When you make a mistake and the devil comes and tells you 'You're no good,' you don't have to take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and cleansing you with the blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His grace and forgiveness.
Really showing love requires more than just words.
Education levels the playing field, allowing everyone to compete.
We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.
Nobody likes to have trouble. The moment we get a hint that it's coming, a common response is, 'Oh no! Not again!'
We live in an imperfect world, and imperfect people surround us every day.
Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.
I can tell you from experience that God's help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.
Humility is not something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be pursued more than any other.
Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.
You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn't believe.
The truth is, if we don't learn to submit to authority, we won't ever learn to submit to God.
I tell people, and it's the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won't make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won't make you a servant of Christ.
