We open the door for God to work by placing faith in His Word, and we open the door for Satan to work by placing faith in his word. He places thought in our minds that are not true, but can become true for us if they are believed.

I have learned God doesn't always change those people we want Him to change; instead, He often uses them to change us.

Sometime we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. You're not going to enjoy your future, and you're not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past.

The first step to forgiveness is the desire to do it, no matter how you feel toward the person who hurt you. Then you make the decision to do it which means it's a firm decision that won't change when your feelings change. The next step is to depend on the Holy Spirit to help you do what you've decided to do.

There’s nothing more dangerous to the kingdom of darkness than a believer with the Word of God in their mouth.

We should choose our thoughts carefully. We can think about what is wrong with our lives or about what is right with them.

Go beyond what you feel like doing and do what's right. Every time you do what's right when you don't feel like it, you are growing.
