1 " The good is the Enemy of the best. Until you depart from the good, you cannot enter God's best for your life. "
― Pedro Okoro , Crushing the Devil: Your Guide to Spiritual Warfare and Victory in Christ
2 " Take God at His Word – because winning the battle doesn't requirephysical brawn, but spiritual brains! "
3 " Music originated from God and was created solely for his worship, his glory, and his pleasure. "
4 " If you do not pray, you easily become a prey! "
5 " It is not for you to determine your purpose, the reason for your existence. You discover your purpose by asking the Creator why he created you! "
6 " Have you ever wondered why you did not rapture and go to heaven the day you became a Christian? It is because God has work for you to do here on earth! Having gone to heaven, Jesus expects you to be his body on earth. You are his hands, his feet, his voice. "
7 " Fear is a scheme that the devil uses to great effect. From my personal study, the words “do not be afraid” or “fear thee not” (depending on the Bible translation) appear over one hundred times in the Bible! The message from God is quite clear: we need not be afraid! "
8 " God expects you to have the mentality of a conqueror. See yourself as a victor in Christ Jesus, and go about life with a holy swagger! "
9 " God has the most incredible, unimaginable, inconceivable, and indescribable intention and design for your life. "
10 " There can be no substitute for a personal study of the Word of God! Daily devotionals, Bible commentaries, and recorded messages by anointed preachers and teachers are wonderful and useful. However, they cannot take the place of the Word of God. They must not replace a time of personal study of the Word. Every Christian individual must study and meditate upon the Word for him or herself. Nobody can do that for anyone else. "
11 " By the anointing of the Holy Spirit, anybody who is afflicted by any phobia can be set free. "
12 " The devil is a bad devil. "
13 " To move into what God has in mind for you, it is necessary to discover your purpose, to know where you are going, and to understand the reason for your existence. "
14 " The sheer size, extent, and magnitude of the blood vessels tell us two things: the awesomeness of God’s work in man and the fact that as human beings, every one of us is a walking wonder, an amazing work of art. "
15 " To effectively combat the devil, you need to pray. "
16 " With the weapons that God has made available to you, he expects you to capture and hold captive every thought and idea that comes into your mind, and to examine these against the backdrop of the Word of God. Those thoughts that are in line with God’s will and purpose for your life are to be released and allowed to move freely within your mind. However, those thoughts and ideas that are contrary to the Word of God are to be held perpetually captive and cast out of your mind in the name of Jesus! "
17 " Just as you cannot stop a bird from flying over your head, in the same way you cannot stop the devil from dropping ideas into your mind. However, in the same way that you can stop a bird from building a nest on your head, you can stop the Enemy’s suggestions from wandering without restriction and taking root in your mind. "
18 " Whatever your station or position in life, there is always room for improvement, enhancement, and perfection. I say this with a great sense of humility. Regardless of what you are enjoying at the moment, the Lord says that he has somethingbetter for you! No matter what you have achieved, attained, or accomplishedin this world, there are more challenges and blessings ahead. God says that you have stayed long enough on this mountain. It is time to press forward to take more territories and receive more trophies. "
19 " There is a difference between the fact and the truth. The fact is what you may be experiencing at any particular point in time in your life, the day-to-day reality of life, the struggles, the challenges, the issues and the problems that you face on a daily basis.
