And when you pray to God regularly, irregular things happen on a regular basis.
Mark Batterson

If you've never had a God-sized dream that scared you half to death, then you haven't really come to life. If you've never been overwhelmed by the impossibility of your plans, then your God is too small. If your vision isn't perplexingly impossible, then you need to expand the radiuses of your prayer circles.

When we cling too tightly to what God did last, we often miss what God wants to do next.

To me, growing into spiritual maturity is becoming less self-conscious and more God-conscious.

You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. ...Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows. ...Your prayers for your children are the greatest legacy you can leave.

The more you’re willing to risk, the more God can use you. And if you’re willing to risk everything, then there is nothing God can’t do in you and through you.

If you want God to do something new in you, you cannot keep doing the same old thing. You have to do something different. And if you do, God will create new capacities within you. There will be new gifts and new revelations. But you've got to pray the price. You'll get out of this what you put into it.

You cannot be in the presence of God and be bored at the same time. For that matter, you cannot be in the will of God and be bored at the same time.

Image
In my experience, it’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one. Anyone can put on an act. But your reactions reveal what is really in your heart.

Most Christians are educated way beyond the level of their obedience already! We don’t need to know more, we need to do more.

If you seek answers you won't find them, but if you seek God, the answers will find you.

Even our hardest prayers are easy for the Omnipotent One to answer because there is no degree of difficulty.

If you're bored, one thing is for sure: You're not following in the footsteps of Christ.

Leaders need the courage to acknowledge when something isn't working.

I think you often say more by saying less. And interestingly enough, I mean, Jesus really set the standard. I mean, he could say more with fewer words than anybody. Most of the parables were less than 250 words. And, boy, did he have some one-liners just packed with truth.

The only God-ordained fear is the fear of God, and if we fear Him, we don't have to fear anyone or anything else
