We must realize that the ministries and gifts of the Spirit are for everyday life, not just meetings.

It is by the Lord's stripes that we are healed, and it is through our own stripes that we, too, are given the authority for healing. In the place where the enemy wounds us, once we are healed, we are given the power to heal others.

We are coming to the times when passive Christianity and passive Christians will cease to exist. There is a maturity, a discipline and a divine militancy coming upon the people of God. Those who have succumbed to humanistic and idealistic theologies may have a hard time with this, but we must understand that God is a military God. The title that he uses ten times more than any other is "the Lord of Hosts", or "Lord of armies". There is a martial aspect to his character that we must understand and embrace for the times and the job to which we are now coming.

Satan's first strategy is to keep religion intellectual.

Gifts are given, but fruit must be grown

Most Christians long to see miracles, but they don't want to be put in a position where they will need one.

True Christianity is a life of sacrifice. It requires that in everything we live for the Lord and others, not ourselves.
