jesus lord born
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.

Our Lord was 30 years preparing for 3 years of service. The modern stamp is to spend 3 hours preparing for 30 years of service.
men praying lord
Our Lord did not say it was wrong to pray in the corners of the street, but He did say it was wrong to have the motive to "be seen of men".
lord salvation discipleship
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
determination reality lord
Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.
lord social aspect
Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.
realizing lord
Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
realizing lord here-and-now
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
inspirational lord discipleship
Our Lord's conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
believe order design
Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.
absurd certain dealt destroy face ignoring increase mind pray second seen
Certain things can only be dealt with by ignoring them; if you face them you increase their power. It is absurd to say, Pray about them; when once a thing is seen to be wrong, don't pray about it, it fixes the mind on it; never for a second brood on it, destroy it by neglect.
hurt may
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
not-good-enough enemy faith-in-god
The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.
