Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that pride is a problem only for the lost. The most effective means the enemy has to keep believers from being full of the Spirit is to keep us full of ourselves. No wonder the Bible states and restates that God hates pride. It is the enemy of genuine ministry. It is the end of many homes.

I have to have a daily, vibrant relationship with Jesus in order to survive that process toward healing.

You must go to God's Word to know what is true about yourself.

Nothing on earth compares to the strength God is willing to interject into lives caught in the act of believing.

When we resist God, we draw near to Satan.

We want Christ to hurry and calm the storm. He wants us to find him in the midst of it first.
