When you’re not fully trusting in the Lord you’re concerned mostly about rescue. “I’m a Christian, get me out of here!” And the Lord is saying, “You’re kidding, right? I want to teach you who you are in this situation!” In some of our situations, He gives us power and authority to move. In other situations He gives us patience because that works just as powerfully, it’s just going to take a few extra weeks.

It is part of our inheritance to be, above all, secure and confident in the will of God.

The whole point about thinking brilliantly is about knowing your identity and the favor you have in Christ

When God’s putting His finger on the part of your life that’s not working, He’s pointing to your next miracle.

I long to see Christians get beyond themselves and start seeing the glory of God as it pertains to their own life. We need great people who understand that their success is wrapped up in the sovereignty of God. If we can do that, a faith, power, energy and zeal will emerge that will take us forward in the things of the Holy Spirit. We must become overwhelmed with who God wants to be for us!

I think God loves to speak to us prophetically, because there are a number of things which happen when you receive a prophecy.

Prayer, in it's simplest form, is finding out what God wants to do and then asking Him to do it.
