The more problems you have, the more potential you have to help people. One of the most paralyzing mistakes we make is thinking that our problems somehow disqualify us from being used by God. [...] If you don’t have any problems, you don’t have any potential. Here’s why. Your ability to help others heal is limited to where you’ve been wounded.

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.

I love to read. I remember hearing that the average author takes two years to write a book. So when I read a book, I feel like I am getting two years of life experiences.

God wants you to get where God wants you to go more than you want to get where God wants you to go.

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

One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.

Worship is forgetting about what's wrong with you and remembering what's right with God.

If you wait for perfect conditions to seize an opportunity, you'll be waiting till the day you die.

If the kingdom of God had departments, we’d want to work in research and development. We felt like Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue, he hung out at wells. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells. Let’s not wait for people to come to us, let’s go to them.

Prayer is the inheritance we receive and the legacy we leave.

God isn't offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your prayers aren't impossible to you, they are insulting to God.
