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

Image
Each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground. It disappears for a season, but it eventually bears fruit that blesses future generations. In fact, our prayers bear fruit forever.

Image
One God idea is worth more than a thousand good ideas.
Mark Batterson
Image
The healthiest and holiest people are the people who laugh at themselves the most. Failure helps us take God more seriously and ourselves less seriously.
Mark Batterson
Image
We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.

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

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

You don’t need to seek opportunity. All you have to do is seek God. And if you seek God, opportunity will seek you.

Prayer adds an element of surprise to your life that is more fun than a surprise party or surprise gift or surprise romance. In fact, prayer turns life into a party, into a gift, into a romance.

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.

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.

Vision beyond your resources? Don't let fear dictate your decisions. If your vision is God-given, it will most definitely be beyond your ability and beyond your resources. The God who gives the vision is the same God who makes provision.

I’ve discovered that if I don’t take the first step, God generally won’t reveal the next step.

Image
Instead of dissecting Scripture, we need to let Scripture dissect us our thoughts and attitudes, our dreams and desires, our fears and hopes.

Don’t just read the Bible. Start circling the promises. Don’t just make a wish. Write down a list of God-glorifying life goals. Don’t just pray. Keep a prayer journal. Define your dream. Claim your promise. Spell your miracle.

Whatever you don't turn into PRAISE turns into PRIDE.

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

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.
