Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.

People always want to know how you know. And knowing in your heart is very hard to describe. I think so often, we're trying to understand something with our mind. But, actually, the Bible teaches us that much of what God does in our life will be difficult to understand with the mind.

God forgives us and remembers our sin no more; therefore, stop remembering what God has forgotten.

Gaining a victory is more difficult than maintaining it once you have it.

There are times when God leaves huge question marks as tools in our lives to stretch our our faith.

Nobody can be set free from a problem until they're willing to admit they have one.

Sometimes new opportunity means new opposition. Not everything God asks us to do will be comfortable.
