1 " Blessing is bowing down to receive the expressions of divine favor that in the inner recesses of the human heart and mind make life worth the bother. "
― Beth Moore , Believing God
2 " ...if I die suddenly, my gravestone might appropriately offer this insight into my departure: "God got tired." I require lots of work. "
3 " An ongoing relationship with God through His Word is essential to the Christian's consistent victory! "
4 " If God said it, I want to believe it. If God gives it, I want to receive it. If God shows it, I want to perceive it. If Satan stole it, I want to retrieve it. "
5 " God’s specialty is raising dead things to life and making impossible things possible. You don’t have the need that exceeds His power. "
6 " God is who He says He is. God can do what He says He can do. I am who God says I am. I can do all things through Christ. God’s Word is alive and active in me. "
7 " For the most part we’ve dumbed-down New Testament Christianity and accepted our reality as theology rather than biblical theology as our reality. We’ve reversed the standard, walking by sight and not by faith. We want to be the best of what we see, but frankly what we see is far removed from God’s best. "
8 " Nothing on earth compares to the strength God is willing to interject into lives caught in the act of believing. "
9 " A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants. "
10 " We can always hope and pray diligently for a miracle. If, in God’s sovereignty, He chooses to accomplish His purposes another way, let it not be that we have not because we asked not (James 4:2) or that we have not because we believed not (Matt. 9:29). "
11 " Your Promised Land is the place where God’s personalized promises over your life become a living reality rather than a theological theory. "
12 " Life is just a breath. All that will matter forever and ever in our heavenly state is the glory that came to God through our lives. "
13 " God has so much for you, Dear One. And, yes, seasons will come when He requires so much from you that you feel like you can’t bear it. You do have a choice. You don’t have to do it His way. You can choose bitterness, resentment, carnality, or mediocrity. Or you can go for it. With everything you’ve got. You can experience the unmatched exhilaration of partnering in divine triumph. The stakes are high. The cost is steep. But I’ll promise you this: there is no high like the Most High. "
14 " We cannot tame the Lion of Judah. There is a mystery, a wonder, and, yes, even a wildness about God we cannot take from Him. "
15 " We’ve reversed the standard, walking by sight and not by faith. We want to be the best of what we see, but frankly what we see is far removed from God’s best. "
16 " To pick up the Sword of the Spirit without the Shield of Faith is to shrivel and dry up in the desert of legalism. To pick up the Shield of Faith without the Sword of the Spirit is to try walking by faith on quicksand. "
17 " I don’t think the biggest threat to our theology is humanism or the host of world religions. Our biggest threat is cut-and-paste Christianity. If man places his faith in a god he has recreated in his own image, has he placed his faith in God at all? And if not, how can such a man be saved? "
18 " If we can come up with a God we can fully explain, we have come up with a different God from the Bible’s. We must beware of recreating an image of God that makes us feel better. Of this I’m certain: If in our pursuit of greater knowledge God seems to have gotten smaller, we have been deceived. "
19 " I don’t think the biggest threat to our theology is humanism or the host of world religions. Our biggest threat is cut-and-paste Christianity. If man places his faith in a god he has recreated in his own image, has he placed his faith in God at all? "
20 " If not for God’s compassion, His very presence in our midst would kill us. We really have little clue who we’re dealing with. The good news is: God wants us to seek Him and find Him. "
