After 1 Billion years in Heaven, we will still have only scratched the surface in our understanding of the character of God.
Yet, with every single new discovery of his perfect character, there will be unspeakable joy.
Heaven will be a world of infinite joy.

I heard someone say, “No matter what life brings, I’ll praise God through it” and that’s honestly the kind of faith I hope to have all my life. – at Ohio, USA

Satan is constantly battling for your mind. That’s where the battle happens. When God gives us an idea, it’s inspiration. When the Devil gives us an idea, it’s temptation. You choose every day which thought you’re going to dwell on. You need to know God’s truth.

What they don’t tell you about becoming a Christian: It’s a hard walk and at times can feel very lonely.
What they forget to tell you about being a Christian: But you grow stronger with each stride & the One who walks with you won’t let you fall.

“The way to stay Christian in the long run is to be a Christian every day. Walk in light of God’s fascinating and extraordinary grace to us in the gospel. Fully reliant on God’s Spirit, go deep in God’s word, among God’s people. Keep both eyes peeled for Jesus.”

The gifting, calling and anointing that’s on your life, has been endowed upon you and entrusted to you by God!
Regardless of what others do with their lives — GUARD and GROW what YOU have!
You will be held accountable for what God is wanting YOU TO DO!

We should pray and intercede for others. We should stand in the gap for them. If only we would spend as much time talking to God about others as we spend time gossiping about them."

I pity any man who lives so that people have to ask, "Is he a Christian?" Let us live so that no one needs ask that question about us.

“Faith is not in itself a meritorious act; the merit is in the One toward whom it is directed. Faith is a redirecting of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus. Sin has twisted our vision inward and made it self-regarding.” AW Tozer

It’s one thing to sing that the devil has been defeated; it’s a whole other thing to experience it.

It was God's love that broke through our calloused hearts, it was God's love that healed our broken souls, it's God's love that works in & through us each & every day

It’s easier to play church than be the church. Really following Jesus is walking the humble path without pretending.

The lies of the enemy around us are not greater than the truth of Jesus within us.

No matter how anointed you are, if you don’t conquer your obstacles - it will prove challenging to soar to your next level. When you kill your giants, you will flourish and be brought before great individuals!
