spiritual eye giving
It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.
sky giving vision
The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here.
divine-guidance people giving
We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.
reality giving waiting
When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word
spiritual giving lust
Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
giving way delightful
Death is God's delightful way of giving us life.
giving people scrutiny
The scrutiny we give other people should be for ourselves.
giving vision matter
When God gives us a vision, we must transact business with Him at that point, no matter what the cost.
block order giving
When we discern that people are not going on spiritually and allow the discernment to turn to criticism, we block our way to God. God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede
giving treasure poverty
Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.
giving succeed holy
There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself. If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you - and His experiments always succeed.
simple greatness giving
Have you ever realized that you can give things to God that are of value to Him? Or are you just sitting around daydreaming about the greatness of His redemption, while neglecting all the things you could be doing for Him? I'm not referring to works which could be regarded as divine and miraculous, but ordinary, simple human things - things which would be evidence to God that you are totally surrendered to Him.
real giving tests
With Christ, it is not how much we give, but what we do not give that is the real test.
blessing giving god-blessing
Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift.
