If you want to be free, just start doing what God wants you to do, one step at a time, and you'll eventually walk out of your messes.

God wants to speak to you on a one-to-one basis every day. He wants to lead you to the good things He has in store for you.

Don’t wait around waiting for God to do something that He’s already given you the power to do.

It isn't necessary to trust God when we have full understanding and knowledge of what He is doing on our behalf... Trust is needed in those times when, for whatever reason, we are not hearing from God as clearly as we would like.

When I was a teenager, I didn't get to do a lot of the things that other kids my age were doing because my dad was very controlling and he wouldn't allow me to go to school activities, like games and dances. So I didn't have positive expectations for my future or really dream about what I could do with my life. I was just trying to survive until I could get out on my own.

Your soul is your mind, your will and your emotions. When the Word gets rooted in there and begins to change your mind, it begins to heal your emotions and turn your will away from self-will and onto doing the will of God.

Romans 6 - Our flesh is the instrument that Satan works through. When we say no to the flesh, we say no to the devil.
