promises in God’s Word.

together. We are saved by faith and grace. Faith believes it has received the

patient and wait for the manifestation of the answer. Grace empowers you. Grace
gives you rest and an ease about things, and as you enter into God’s Sabbath
rest you are refreshed and find your strength to hold on until the answer
comes.
#248
Abraham was both a prophet and an intercessor. He experienced a contradiction
in his life when it came to his faith. He prayed for the house of Abimelech
that barrenness would be removed, and God answered his prayer. Yet his own wife
remained barren for years and years. However, Abraham never lost faith. He kept
on believing despite the odds. In God’s timing, Abraham and Sarah’s prayers
were answered when God brought resurrection life back into Abraham’s body
(because by this time he was too old to father children) and God quickened
Sarah’s dead womb and she conceived Isaac, the son of promise.
#249
Abraham’s faith was tested again when Isaac was a youth or young adult. God
told Abraham to offer Isaac on the altar. Abraham obeyed God. Abraham believed
that God would raise Isaac from the dead because God promised that through
Isaac his offspring would be as the sand on the seashore and as the stars in
the heavens. At the last moment, an angel of the Lord stopped the sacrifice. A
ram was provided and offered instead.

changes his mind. When He says something, He will do it. When He makes a
promise, He will fulfill it.
#294
Have a dream that takes you beyond where you are now. Dream so big that it is
beyond you and God has to show up.
#295
Getting into serious financial debt or losing your home over a dream God gives
you is not faith; it’s presumption or stepping out prematurely.
#296
You can use your faith to call in finances for a dream God gives you. When it’s
the right timing, everything will fall into place. The finances will come in
and the payments will be manageable. You will feel an ease and peace about
things, rather than pressure.

it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

ASK. “Ask and it shall be given unto you.” The first step of faith is to ask
God for what you want or need. You have not because you ask not (James 4:2).
#329
The mouth speaks what the heart is full of. If it’s full of faith, it will
speak faith and words of life. If it’s full of hate, evil, fear or doubt, it
will speak complaints, negative things and evil abusive words.
#330
God doesn’t ask you to figure it all out. He just asks you to believe.
#331
The reason that God honors faith is because faith honors God.

Word, then see your faith increase.

with others.” 2 Corinthians 9:8
#353
God would not have put a dream in your heart if He hadn’t already given you
everything you need to fulfill it.
#354 If you have to verify things with your five senses, you
are not in faith.
#355 Faith without works or
corresponding action is dead. Sometimes faith can stand being tested and proven
to be assured of something.
#357 What you hear affects
what you think which affects what you believe and your future.
#359 No word of God is
without power. Believe it, speak it and God will manifest His goodness to you.
#361 Your faith triggers
God's anointing when you act on the Word of God.
#362 It’s never too late
to start believing God for wholeness, health and breakthrough. Faith is now,
time cannot limit God!
#366 Your faith takes possession of what grace has already
provided.
#367 The only parts of the Bible that do you any good are the
parts that you believe and act on.
#369 To do greater works than Jesus did, it requires
great faith, prayer, intimacy with the Holy Spirit, obedience to the Word of
God, a life of holiness, knowing your authority as a Believer, understanding
who you are in Christ (your identity), receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
for power and service, and walking in love.
#371 Faith begins with asking God for
what you need and want. The Bible says we have not because we ask not.
#372 Faith empowers people to overcome and be
successful. Fear, doubt and unbelief keep people defeated, and feeling like
victims.
#373 Faith believes in the heart that God will give
whatever you are asking for to you, whether you feel you deserve it or not (because
God’s blessings and provision is by grace, not by merit or being spiritual
enough).
#374 Faith doesn’t try to
make, convince, beg, plead, force or coerce God to do something. Instead, faith
claims what God already did for us
when He sent Jesus to the Cross. Faith takes hold of what God has already provided for us. Everything we
need in this life on earth has already been provided for us and is located in
the spirit realm. Faith is what transfers it from the spirit realm into the
earth realm and makes it a reality in our lives.
#375 Faith begins to speak things you are believing for into
existence and believing in your heart that it will come to pass. Your words of
faith, and confessing the Word of God, activate angels to work on your behalf.
The Bible says that angels heed the Voice of the Word of God.
#376
Faith says the right things.
Believing involves only speaking words of faith and victory, and not of doubt,
unbelief, defeat, fear, negativity or complaining.
#377 Faith begins to
prophesy what you would like to see come to pass in your life, and be very
specific too. You have to learn how to be the prophet over your own life and
family, and begin to decree and declare what the Word of God promises you can
have, and it will be established unto you.
#378
Faith begins to thank and praise God, and dance for joy in advance, for your
promise from God, healing, miracle, breakthrough, future spouse or provision
even before it manifests.
#379 Faith begins to
confess Scriptures that pertain to your situation. The Word of God, when
applied, is like medicine to the body, mind, soul and spirit.
#381 Faith involves sowing
generous offerings (over and above the tithe, which is 10% of your gross
income). Faith involves applying the principles of sowing and reaping.
#384 To be in faith means
to actively pursue a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Learn to hear His

#385 Faith comes by
HEARING. Hearing what, you may ask? Hearing, over and over again, the Word of
God being taught and preached (Romans 10:17). Likewise, fear, doubt and
unbelief also comes by hearing too — that is, hearing the negative reports of
the devil, this world, the media, or even some religious folks who try to
instill words of fear and unbelief into you and try to talk you out of your
dreams. But faith in God comes from hearing the Word of God over and over again
until it takes root. Faith comes from hearing faith-building messages on a
consistent basis. Faith comes from learning how to get into the Word of God for
yourself (self-feed) and diligently seek the Scriptures out and study it out
for yourself, and dig out God’s treasures.
#386 Faith is not content
with living an average, mediocre life or trying to be like everybody else. Or
accepting a barely get-by, month-to-month existence financially, or getting
into debt, as being the normal way it is in life. Faith is not accepting a life
filled with sickness and disease and weakness as a normal part of life.
Instead, faith believes it can have a better life and a more quality life.
Faith accepts the fact that Jesus died to give us an abundant life (not just in
Heaven someday, but also in the here and now).
#387 Faith doesn’t just
wish and dream, but takes steps of action to achieve those dreams. It may mean
making changes in our lifestyle and daily habits, getting advanced training,
reading helpful material to help you reach your goals and dreams, or setting realistic
goals that are achievable. Faith applies not only the spiritual principles
found in the Word of God, but also things we can do in the natural to improve
the quality of our lives. Faith partners with God to see their dreams come to
pass, and their prayers answered.
#389 Faith will only work
in your life if you are walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh (Galations
6). You cannot abuse or mistreat people and have working faith, or expect your
prayers to be answered. You cannot come into the full blessings of God or live
the abundant life if you do wicked or corrupt deeds, live in immorality, and
live in disobedience to God’s commands. If you dabble into witchcraft or
psychics, or get involved with others who do so, you can be assured that after
a grace period you will be cut off from the Vine unless you repent – it’s that
serious.
#392 We must feed our
spirit “faith food” to be strong. It contains the proper nutrients to have a
strong spirit. Pastor George Pearsons
#394 Faith consists of believing when it is beyond the power of
reason to believe. Zig Ziglar
#395 Faith is the Divine energy of life. Faith is alive. The
Word of God is quick (alive) and active.
#396 Faith looks like extreme persistence and becomes a prayer
that does not give up. Jennifer Eivaz
#398 Faith is believing in
things when common sense tells you not to. Pastor Rob Spina
#399 When you choose faith
instead of fear it activates God’s power.
#400 Let faith be bigger than your fear.
#401 To get into your full
potential, you must take a step of faith. You must have the Word of God to
develop the faith that pleases God. Dr. Bill Winston
#402 Your faith grows as you use it.
#403 Your faith cannot live without hope! Hebrews 11:1
#404 When your hope dies, your faith will soon follow!
Hope is the lighthouse for faith!
#405 When it’s time for you to get up from a situation, you
will get up!
#406 You can get up from
sickness, lack and depression. It all begins with making a decision to become
well.
#407 Jesus knows how to
manifest anything for you, no matter how unlikely you think it is; including
your healing and prosperity. 3 John 2
#408 It’s believing and
saying that causes things to come to pass. It’s believing and saying that
causes us to increase.
#409 Your faith is not to
help you avoid problems, it’s to help you go through them with stability. Joyce
Meyer
#410 The believing part is
the faith part. Our words must have faith behind them for them to be faith
words.
#411 If we speak the right
things, yet have doubt and unbelief in our HEART that it will actually happen,
then it probably won’t happen.
#412 You cannot claim
something that you don’t believe in your heart and expect it to come to pass.
Your words must match the faith in your heart.
#413 Sometimes we may have
faith in our heart, yet thoughts of doubt in our mind. That is normal. The
enemy puts thoughts of doubt in our mind.
#414 God is looking at the
faith in your heart. If your faith words and your heart is in agreement, then
things will begin to come to pass in your life.
#416 Focus on the promises
and not the pain.
#417 Quit telling how your
flesh is doing and begin telling your flesh how it’s going to do. Dr. Bill
Winston
#418 Focus your attention
and conversation on God to regain proper perspective.
#419 Faith gives substance
to your hope.
#420 Faith is being
convinced that we have what we have not seen.
#421 Faith is your hand reaching out and taking what God has
promised.
#422 Faith is taking what
God offered us. Faith is to receive the written promises of God.
#423 Faith is a rest, not
a striving. Faith is leaning on Him.
#424 Faith is trusting God
and depending on Him. You work with Him, knowing what His will is for you,
trusting Him to get the answer to you.
#425 Faith is picturing it
done. Josiah Cullen (Josiah’s Fire: Autism Stole His Words, God Gave Him a
Voice by Tahni Cullen and Cheryl Ricker, Broadstreet Publishing Group, 2016)
#426 Faith is believing
for kites to fly when there is no wind in sight. Josiah Cullen (Josiah’s Fire: Autism Stole His Words, God Gave Him a
Voice by Tahni Cullen and Cheryl Ricker, Broadstreet Publishing Group, 2016)
#427 Faith is past tense, present tense and future tense.
#432 God favors and honors faith.
#433 You can grow and increase in faith.
#434 Your faith will activate favor.
#435 Great faith releases great favor.
#436 Men and women of God who walked in faith in
Hebrews 11 received favor from God and man.
#438 Prayer does not cause
faith to work, faith causes prayer to work! Gloria Copeland
#439 When you forgive, your faith will produce results and move
mountains for you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#441 Believe it in your heart; say it with your mouth.
That is the principle of faith. You can have what you say. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#442 It's not that faith is blind, it's sight of a higher kind.
Keith Moore
#443 Impatience reveals a
lack of faith. Through faith AND patience you inherit the promises (Hebrews
6:12). Keith Moore
#444 Doubt despairs, complains and is sad. Faith rejoices,
gives thanks and is glad. Keith Moore
#445 Let us hold fast the
profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)
Hebrews 10:23
#446 If you refuse God's
correction, you'll be confused by His direction. Keith Moore
#447 When your heart beats as one with Jesus, you love people
and you have faith. Lester Sumrall
#448 Faith is when God and man choose to walk together
in life, to think together and, if I may even say, to laugh together. Lester
Sumrall

earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both you and your
descendants may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).
#450 Hope says, “I'll have it sometime”, faith says, “I have it
now.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#452 If you've been in the habit of worrying, get in the habit
of faith instead. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#453 How can you tell me
you're full of faith, but frustrated about a matter that you are believing God
about? Keith Moore
#454 The people talked to Jesus about their needs. Jesus talked
to them about their faith. Keith Moore
#455 The secret behind getting more faith, is to get
to know God more. Lester Sumrall
#456 That ye be not
slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the
promises. Hebrews 6:12

imperfect yet restored and used by God in the mightiest ways.

live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38
#462 There are only two ways you can live: by faith or by
sight. Keith Moore
#463 The faith of Thomas cannot produce the blessings of
Abraham. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#464 If faith is a fight then there must be enemies and hindrances to it.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#465 Doers are the only ones who get results. Keith Moore
#466 Romans 3:3-4 For what
if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without
effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is
written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome
when thou art judged. KJV
#467 Real faith will build you and strengthen you. Keith Moore
#469 Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2
#470 By faith Abel offered
to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness
that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being
dead still speaks. Hebrews 11:4
#471 By faith Enoch was
taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had
taken him; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:5
#472 By faith Noah, being
divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark
for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became
heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Hebrews 11:7
#473 By faith Abraham
obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an
inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt
in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac
and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city
which has foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God. Hebrews 11:8-10
#475 By faith Abraham,
when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises
offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed
shall be called,” concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the
dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. Hebrews 11:17-19
#476 By faith Isaac
blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Hebrews 11:20
#477 By faith Jacob, when
he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the
top of his staff. Hebrews 11:21
#478 By faith Joseph, when
he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave
instructions concerning his bones. Hebrews 11:22
#479 By faith Moses, when
he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a
beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command. Hebrews 11:23
#480 By faith Moses, when
he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing
rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing
pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. Hebrews 11:24-26
#481 By faith Moses
forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him
who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. Hebrews 11:27-28
#482 By faith the
Israelites passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians,
attempting to do so, were drowned. Hebrews 11:29
#483 By faith the walls of
Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. By faith the harlot
Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the
spies with peace. Hebrews 11:30-31
#484 And what more shall I
say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and
Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued
kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises. Hebrews 11:32-38
#485 Others were tortured,
not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still
others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and
imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain
with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being
destitute, afflicted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered
in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.
#486 Therefore we also,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of
God. Hebrews 12:1-2
#487 Behold, I am the
Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me? Jeremiah 32:27
#489 Your future increase is in direction proportion to your
faith. Dr. Jesse Duplantis

something in faith God’s power is activated in your life. Joel Osteen

#495 Faith is the bridge between where I am and the place God
is taking me.

life is causing faith to function as a force of illumination, allowing you to
see into unseen areas! Trust His Word! Paula White-Cain
#499 Love is the first
fruit of the Spirit (Galations 5:22-23). All the other fruits, including faith,
are derived from love.
#500 Until love is working
in your life, spiritual gifts will not flow out of an impure stream (1
Corinthians 12:31 AMP). Bishop Christopher Carl Smith
#501 Faith refuses what is
not connected to destiny (Hebrews 11:24). By faith Moses refused to be called
the son of Pharoah’s daughter.
#502 If you can see the
invisible, you can do the impossible. Faith needs evidence to stand! Paula
White-Cain
#503 Faith inside of every
believer is a force more powerful than any attack the enemy can launch. Cathy
Duplantis
#504 Faith is never
accidental; it is deliberate—and as Christians it should be inevitable. Dr.
Jesse Duplantis
#505 Faith begins where the will of God is known. Kenneth
Copeland

during the storm.
#507 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
shall raise him up. James 5:15
#508 Faith talks, faith
obeys faith-filled words of God and then answers with faith. Cathy Duplantis

with all thine heart; lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
#510 Don’t downgrade your
dream to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny.
#511 God’s provided for you, but your saying moves it to you.

external circumstances. Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#520 Doubt is a choice, just like belief is a choice.
#521 Choose faith-filled
words, not words of fear. Gloria Copeland
#522 When the world says “give up”, hope whispers “try it one
more time.” Zig Ziglar
#523 God says, “Those who
hope in Me will not be disappointed” Isaiah 49:23.
#524 Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can
see.
#525 Faith binds you to
God … with faith, you expect things to happen! Paula White-Cain
#526 Faith never knows
where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading. Oswald
Chambers

tomorrow by meditating on God’s Word.

more. Romans 10:17!
#533 Faith is what you
hold on to until you receive what you’re believing God for. Oral Roberts
#536 Faith accomplishes
things only as it is released unto God. Oral Roberts
#537 Friend, don’t try to
believe tomorrow or next week or sometime in the distant future—believe now.
The secret of deliverance is in instant obedience. Oral Roberts
#538 The just shall live
by faith … what we want to do is develop a lifestyle of faith so that our first
response to any obstacle is one of faith. Our second response is faith. Our
lifestyle is faith. Oral Roberts
#540 God is my source.
Hold God in the center of your trust, and Him only. Oral Roberts
#541 You’ve got to put
something in if you want to get something out. Give and it will be given to
you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put
into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured
back to you (Luke 6:38). Oral Roberts
#542 Turn your thinking
and believing toward God. He can help you, He can deliver you, He can make you
whole. Believe in Him and turn your faith loose and He will do great things for
you (Numbers 23:19). Oral Roberts
#544 Jesus is always in the NOW of your need. Oral Roberts
#545 Giving is not a debt
you owe, but a seed you sow. Oral Roberts

just a nice idea, it’s a Biblical requirement. Oral Roberts
#547 Rule number one of
faith: Satan is the oppressor of human life; God brings life with health, peace
and happiness. Oral Roberts
#548 God is concerned for
us in the NOW of our existence. Oral Roberts
#552 Rejoice right now,
release your faith and declare out loud: “I walk by faith and not by fear. I
believe God's WORD. I expect the very best. I expect to succeed and not fail. I
expect to win and not lose. I expect my future to work out perfectly. I am
headed up and not down. I am going over and not under. This situation is
turning to my salvation, in Jesus' mighty Name, Amen!” Pastor George Pearsons
#553 Faith declares the outcome! Lynne Hammond
#554 Faith is the title
deed of things not seen! Jerry Savelle
#555 Praise and thanksgiving are the language of faith and
victory. George Pearsons
#557 Faith is acting as though God told you the truth. John
Osteen
#560 Every man that is strong in faith is naturally
strong in praise, because as far as he is concerned, his case is settled with
God and is not subject to any debate from the devil. David Oyedepo
#561 Just like hope is the
anchor of the soul, faith is the assurance of the soul. It tells
you, “No matter the storm, you can be sure of what God has promised.” It gives
you the assurance of a colorful future.
David Oyedepo
#562 Joy is the evidence of faith. A man of faith is joyful, even before the Word spoken
becomes a reality, because he knows that his rejoicing now is what will make
the promise come to pass. That is why
the most joyful people on the earth are people of faith. David
Oyedepo
#564 When you believe the Word of God, you will keep
on celebrating it until it manifests. David Oyedepo
#565 Faith will always
tell you ahead of time what is going to happen. Lynne Hammond
#566 Believe your beliefs
and doubt your doubts. Greg Laurie
#567 If I can have
whatsoever I say, by faith, that “whatsoever” must be whatever God has already
provided in the Spirit. It’s our job to pull it into the natural and receive
it. (Read: Mark 11:23 and Jude 1:20.) Brian Carn
#568 Faith has a beginning
and faith has an end. Joy unspeakable and full of glory is the bridge between
believing and receiving (1 Peter 1:8-9). Mark Hankins
#569 Your faith has a
beginning, a middle, and an end. In the middle of a faith fight, you have to
tell the devil how it is going to turn out. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of
your faith. Your situation may look bad right now, but everything is going to
turn out alright! Mark Hankins
#570 When you go through a
trial, the joy of the Lord neutralizes the pressure. Mark Hankins
#571 You’ve heard the
phrase, “You are what you eat.” Well, the same is true in the spiritual realm.
You must feed your spirit “faith food” in order for it to be strong. God’s Word
is our food, and it contains the proper nutrients for building a strong spirit.
It is our primary source of spiritual strength. Gloria Copeland
#572 Hebrews 11:2 says,
“For by it (faith) the elders obtained a good report.” Faith always has a good
report. John Osteen

as gravity is a law (Romans 3:27). Charles Capps
#574 It takes faith to
forgive others and yourself. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

will of God is known and hope comes where the ability of God is known. Lynne
Hammond
#577 Faith that overcomes
the world sees the answer as having already happened. Jerry Savelle
#578 God wants to manifest
Himself to you. He wants you to know Him better. In fact, He promised in
Hebrews 11:6 that He is “the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” You
can rest assured He will keep that promise.
#579 “The man Jesus
Christ, this incarnate Son of God, came to make men in His likeness––whole.
When I first started praying for the sick, I thought healing was primarily for
the body, for physical illnesses. Gradually the Lord showed me in the Bible that
healing is for the whole man. It's for the body, the soul, and the mind. It's
also for the problems we face.” Oral Roberts, 1965, Christ in Every Book of the
Bible
#580 “Thank you” is the
password to access God’s goodness and power. Jonathan Osteen
#581 Faith believes God
under pressure. Gloria Copeland
#582 When you’re facing a
challenging situation, there is a very important way to get out of it: Don’t Complain. When you murmur, you
begin to talk unbelief—and you’re not giving the Lord any place to work. So,
don’t murmur in your tent like they did in Deuteronomy 1:27. Don’t speak
anything different than what God says. You are precious to God. He has a
tremendous investment in you. Give Him room to work. Gloria Copeland
#583 “Remember, you will
never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has already forgiven you.”
Rick Warren
#584 There’s no such thing
as an overnight success in the kingdom of God! Real strength and real growth
come as you consistently keep the Word before your eyes, in your ears and in
the midst of your heart. Not just when you want to or when you feel like it,
but constantly, like the seed, a little all the time. Gloria Copeland
#585 Faith has no
expiration date. Just keep on believing God.
#586 H.O.P.E. = Hold On,
Pain Ends.
#587
H. = Healing Memories
O. = Overcoming Fears
P. = Pressing Through
E. = External Rewards
#588 “As a pessimist sees
obstacles in his opportunities, so an optimist sees opportunities in his
obstacles.” T.D. Jakes
#589 God is famous for
surprises. Jerry Savelle
#590 Grace sets the table and faith eats! Janie Tink
#591 Our faith can be
perfected. Jesus is the perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12:2
#592 After crying out to
Jesus and being led to Him, Jesus asked the blind man, “What do you want Me to
do for you?” The blind man replied, “Lord, let me receive my sight!” Jesus then
said, “Receive your sight! Your faith has healed you.” And instantly this man
received his sight. Jesus is asking you today, “What do you want Me to do for
you?” Do you have faith to ask, believe and receive?
#593 How do you know
you're in God's will, God's timing, and God's plan for your life? You will have
peace, God will send people to help you, it will be easy, and there will be no
sorrow.
#594 Hearing the promise
is not enough. You must believe and receive it! Solomon was prosperous because
not only did he hear God's promise
for his life, he also believed and received.
#595 Faith opens the door.
Fear and unbelief shuts it down. Lynne Hammond
#596 If we can believe for
it, God can bring it to pass. Gloria Copeland
#597 “Since God already
told me I’m gonna get it, I’m gonna walk like I already got it.” Terri Savelle
Foy
#598 “Unbelief laughs at
God's Word, but faith lays hold of it and experiences the power of God.” The
Bible Exposition Commentary
#599 Did you know that
most people don't get healed because they aren't sure it's God's will? Study
the WORD and settle it in your heart today—GOD WANTS YOU WELL. Jesus never
turned anyone away, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Gloria Copeland
#600 If you abide in Christ, and His fruit is abiding in you,
there’s no way you will ask anything amiss because your heart will be pure and
right.
#601
There is no greater evidence of
our faith expressed before Satan than to laugh in his face. He can tolerate
your promises, dodge your rebukes, leave for a season and return later. But he
can't stand your laughter. Dr. Roy Hicks
#602 We receive healing
from God by taking Him at His Word. We believe we are healed, not because we
feel healed or look healed at this moment but because God said we are. By
faith, we start talking like we’re healed. We start acting like we’re healed. Before
long, our bodies line up with God’s Word and it becomes apparent to everyone
that we truly are healed! Gloria Copeland
#603 “The just shall live
by faith” (Romans 1:17, Galations 3:11, Hebrews 10:38). We are born again by
faith. We fulfill the will of God in our lives by faith. If we’re sick, we
receive healing by faith. If we are broke, we get financial increase by faith.
If our kids are in trouble, we get them back into the fold of God by faith. We
receive anything and everything that we need from God…by faith! Gloria Copeland
#604 Faith is simply
believing what God says in His Word. It is trusting what He says more than we
trust our natural senses or what other people say.
#605 Faith is believing
God enough to talk and act as if His Word is true even when circumstances
around us would seem to indicate that it’s not. How do we get that kind of
faith? Romans 10:17 tells us “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word
of God.” So if you want to get stronger faith, spend more time in the Word of
God. Gloria Copeland
#606 Acting on your
unbelief is one of the most dangerous things you can do. Unbelief is really a
type of negative faith. It is belief in a negative outcome. James 2:17 tells us
that “faith without corresponding action is dead.” Corresponding action energizes
your faith. The same is true of negative faith. When you act on unbelief, it is
activated to bring about the very result you fear. Mac Hammond
#607 What does it mean to
“fight the good fight of faith?” Fighting the good fight is a matter of
maintaining a good confession.
#608 All too often we
allow life's circumstances to put words in our mouths that are contrary to what
God has spoken over us. The truth is that God has called us to live differently
than that. God wants you and me to speak in line with His Word. When we maintain
a good report, or as I sometimes call it, “A God Report” (speaking things that
are in agreement with His Word over us), we are taking one of the key steps to
fighting the good fight of faith. Gary Mason
#609 Maintaining a “God
Report” will help us to keep our eyes off of what things look like around us
and help us to put things in the right perspective, the perspective of God’s
Word. This is the fight that we have—staying in faith means not just accepting
what we see but looking to God’s Word to find out what He sees and choosing to
speak and live by that. Gary Mason
#610 “For we walk by
faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). In this verse, God is saying that we
should walk by the Word and not by the physical senses. The Word is our
standard. Jesus is our example. Frederick K.C. Price
#611 In the most critical
and difficult situations, Jesus was a man of few words. Throughout the Gospels,
whenever He spoke a faith command—whether He was dealing with circumstances,
sickness, death or the devil—He kept it brief. Think about it. He healed a
leper by saying simply, “I will; be thou clean.” He calmed a stormy sea with
“Peace, be still.” He raised a dead man with three words: “Lazarus, come
forth.” Kenneth Copeland
#612 In Mark 11:14, Jesus
even turned a fig tree in full bloom into a withered stump with nine words: “No
man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever.” Notice that Jesus spoke the desired
end result to that tree and nothing else. Nine words. He never said another
thing to it. As far as He was concerned, from that moment on, His act of faith
was past tense and so was the tree. Kenneth Copeland
#613 When it came to
teaching, Jesus sometimes talked all day long. But when He activated the
process of faith, although He spoke with boldness and got His point across, He
always kept it simple…and He always got the job done. Kenneth Copeland
#614 “That whosoever shall
say unto this mountain, ‘Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea’; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (verse 23). It
strikes me as significant that Jesus gave us just ten words to say to the
mountain. He kept the command simple. He told us to speak the end result, then
turn around and walk off, expecting our words to come to pass. Kenneth Copeland
#615 Your faith must grow
daily. Romans 1:17 says, “Therein is the righteousness of God revealed from
faith to faith.” According to this scripture, God's righteousness (the
righteousness available through Him) is revealed from one level of faith to
another. Taffi L. Dollar
#616 The best way to build
resistance and increase your faith is by refusing to give in to doubt and
disbelief. These demonic weapons hinder your spiritual growth. The more you
renew your mind to the things of God and reject the thoughts that are contrary
to His Word, the more resistance you'll develop. Taffi L. Dollar
#617 In 2 Corinthians
10:4-5, Paul commands us “to cast down every thought and imagination that
exalts itself against the Word by using the weapons God has given us—our mouth
and His Word.” Taffi L. Dollar
#618 James 4:7 says,
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” When you do this, you open the
door for the power of God to operate through you as never before, giving you
victory over the devil and building your confidence in the Almighty. Taffi L. Dollar
#619 Consistency is the
key to breakthrough. By continually confessing aloud God's promises over your
life, you keep the growth process of your faith active. Taffi L. Dollar
#620 Instead of
complaining about how little money you have in your bank account, focus on the
Word that says, “[I will] be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be
magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant” (Psalms 35:27
AMP). Encourage yourself with God's promises. Repetition of His Word trains
your spirit, soul, and body to faithfully live by it. Taffi L. Dollar
#621 Hebrews 11:1 explains
that faith is the substance of things we hope for, and the evidence of what we
do not see. Faith is the force that gives substance—or tangibility—to the
intangible. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#622 Faith makes real to us what we
otherwise could only hope for. Let me give an example. The Lord says He is our
Provider (Philippians 4:19). But until faith gives substance to that provision,
we can’t see it, feel it, eat it or spend it. Faith—which means trusting in,
believing in and relying on the living God as our provision—causes His
provision to become tangible. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#623 Faith may give
substance to provision in the form of a raise, unexpected income, debt
cancellation, etc. The realities of the unseen come into the reality of the
seen through faith. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#624 The difference
between spiritual laws and physical laws is this: Spiritual laws control
natural ones. The force of faith finds its parameters in the “law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:2). When activated, it will trump the “law
of sin and death” and give substance to life, every time! That means healing
over sickness, love over hate, peace over fear. Terri Copeland Pearsons
#625 To change the seen
things, sometimes you must get your mouth in motion. There are other times, if
you're going to change what's seen, you will have to practice the vocabulary of
silence. This is especially true in situations where Satan comes against you so
strongly that you can't bring yourself to say the things that are positive or
in line with the Word of God. Charles Capps
#626 The pressure is on,
the circumstance is wild, and all that rises up within you is against what God says. You
know if you say anything, it will be negative; so don't say anything. Be quiet
before God because His Word has already been spoken. You have confessed it for
weeks, but now it's time to be quiet. Charles Capps
#627 Jairus is a good
example of keeping quiet after confessing in faith. In the fifth chapter of
Mark, Jairus came to Jesus on behalf of his daughter. He believed and confessed
that if Jesus came to his home and laid His hands on his daughter, that his daughter
would be healed and live. On the way to Jairus’ house, he received the bad news
that his daughter was dead. However, Jesus said to Jairus, “Be not afraid, but
only believe.” Jairus kept quiet. There is a time to speak and a time to be
silent.
#628 If we continually
walk in and live in Christ by faith and His Word is continually living in us we
can ask what we will and it will be done for us. Why? Because God's Word is
God's will. You see, if God's Word is living in us and we are walking in Christ,
we will only be asking those things that are pleasing to the Father. We will
not be asking things that are amiss because we are living by faith in Christ.
Mike Mings
#629 His Word is alive and
active and powerful in us. It is accomplishing the thing God sent it to do in
our lives as we actively take possession of it and receive it by faith. Mike
Mings
#630 When you act on the
Word, you act like it is so. James 1:22 says, “Be ye doers of the Word, and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” The only Word that will do you any
good is that Word you act upon. It is better to take only one Scripture and act
like it is true than to do nothing. If you diligently read and study the Word
of God, and get it into your spirit, and put it into practice, it will work. John Osteen
#631 Spend some time
reading your Bible until a verse seems to “leap off the page.” That is the Holy
Spirit making God's Word alive to you. As you believe that verse and act as if
it is true—because it is—it will open the door wide to God's blessings. Gloria Copeland
#632 “Ask
Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your
possession (Psalms 2:8 NIV). God
doesn't want us to just barely get by in life. He wants us to thrive and
experience the fullness of His blessing. Joel Osteen
#633 Not only does God
want to meet our needs, He wants us to be in a position to reach out and help
meet the needs of others, too. Joel Osteen
#634 When we pray and ask
God for something, it opens a supernatural door. Our faith gives God something
to work with. Faith is what pleases Him. Faith moves mountains. Did you know
that it pleases God when we pray bold prayers and ask Him for big things? God
loves it when we step outside of the realm of the possible and totally believe
what He can do. With God, all things are possible! Joel Osteen
#635 “Now we who have
believed enter that rest...Hebrews 4:3
NIV. God desires for you to live in peace and rest no matter what is
happening around you. When you believe God, you enter into His perfect rest.
But if you are controlled by your circumstances, if you're up when things are
up and down when things don't go your way, then life is going to be a roller
coaster. God's plan is for you to be stable, consistent, not moved by any of
these things. Joel Osteen
#636 A man who is
double-minded is a man who doesn't function in patience. You start out on the
Word of God, and then, Satan comes along and gives you contrary information. He
keeps giving you contrary information, and before you know it, you are caught between
two things; and you don't know whether you should stand and fight, or if maybe
you should retreat, or what you should do. Keith Butler
#637 The Word says a
double-minded man will receive nothing of the Lord. You'll be just like the
waves, driven with the wind and tossed. That is the way a lot of Christians
are—driven with the wind and tossed, up and down, up and down, up and down.
They are up today and down tomorrow. Keith Butler
#638 The world says,
“Unless I can see it or feel it, I will not believe it.” But God says, “If you
will believe it, you will feel it. Indeed, if you will believe it, you will see
it!” Joseph Prince
#639 The truth is, no
amount of worrying can lengthen your life or add anything to your physical
person. Instead, worrying robs you of sleep, health and many good years. In
fact, it is only when you are worry-free that God’s anointing flows freely in
you, strengthening, healing, restoring and adding to you. Joseph Prince
#640 Instead of saying
what you have, you must speak the end result—what you desire. When you study
the New Testament, you’ll find that Jesus operated in Kingdom principles. He
always spoke the end result, not what was happening. Charles Capps
#641 When you believe God
and release your faith in prayer, it is conceived in the womb of the spirit and
will be manifested. It will be brought forth, if you hold fast to your
confession of faith. Charles Capps
#642 If you want a greater
measure of faith in your life—the type of faith that helps you overcome—choose
to believe and act
on the Word, doubt the lies of the enemy, and then watch your faith come alive!
Billy Joe Daugherty
#643 A mechanical
profession of your words doesn't come from the heart, and therefore, it doesn't
bring forth any fruit. You see, real faith, real confession, and real
profession must come from your heart before it comes out of your mouth. Rick
Renner
#644 The Lord says in
Psalms 37:4 that He “will give you the desires of your heart.” I want you to
see that this has a two-fold understanding. First of all, it means that God
will fulfill, or bring to pass, those desires resident in your heart. But it also
means if you are delighting yourself in Him, He actually deposits into your
heart right desires. Mac Hammond
#645 Learn to be more
sensitive to the desires of your heart. Don't be so quick to discard them as
being selfish or self-serving. If you are a sold-out committed Christian, that
desire is most likely God's will for your life. Step out in faith and respond
to those desires. As you do, you'll begin to flow in the perfect will of God
for your life. Mac Hammond
#646 Now you can begin to
see why so few Christians experience the benefits of God's abundant mercies.
They have no faith either to receive these benefits or to live in them. On the
contrary, they have faith in the idea that God is mad at them, that He's “out
to get them,” that He's just looking for an opportunity to zap them. Is it any
wonder then that so few believers can really understand the mercies of God?
Creflo Dollar
#647 We see scripture
after scripture declaring how God's mercy endureth forever. In fact, this
phrase is repeated forty-two times in the Old Testament alone! Without an
understanding of mercy, every time you try to step out and do anything of
spiritual value, the enemy will bring up every mistake you have ever made.
That's why it is so vital that you get this truth firmly established in your
heart and mind. Once you do, the devil doesn't stand a chance. Creflo Dollar
#648 Don't go around
declaring your unworthiness to receive the presence and promises of God.
Instead, say you are worthy because God has declared you so. You have been made
the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and have been seated with Him in
heavenly places (2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:6). Creflo Dollar
#649 If you are a
believer, you do have faith. So start where you are in faith. Start believing
God where your faith is developed right now. Kenneth W. Hagin
#650 You are not going to
get your faith to work if you don't exercise it. People who haven't taken time
to develop their faith have weak faith. So if they try to believe God for
something beyond their level of faith, their faith fails them, and they are
hindered for months. Then they think they don't have faith when really they
have just never developed their faith! Kenneth W. Hagin
#651 Start developing your
faith now for the things you need from God. But first you're going to have to
know what God has said in His Word. If God hasn't said it, then you can't
believe for it. But if He promised you something in His Word, then you can believe
Him to bring it to pass in your life. Kenneth W. Hagin
#652 Some people confuse
faith with feelings. They are always waiting for a feeling before they will
believe God. In essence, that is telling God that His Word is a lie. But that's
not how faith works. First, you have faith, and then the feelings come. Kenneth
W. Hagin
#653 God promised that if
we believe His Word, we can receive from Him (Mark 11:24). So our assurance
must be in God's Word. We don't need feelings when we have the facts—the facts
of God's Word. If God said it, shall He not do it? He watches over His Word to
perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). He will certainly make His Word good in our lives
if we will just believe Him! Kenneth W. Hagin
#654 Most believers don't
pay much attention to hope. They don't think of it as very important. They
certainly don't consider it to be as important as faith. But the fact is, faith
won't function without hope. That's because “faith is the substance of things
hoped for” (Hebrews 11:1). Sometimes I say it this way, “Hope is the blueprint
of faith.” Kenneth Copeland
#655 When hope is lost,
faith loses its aim. It no longer has a mission to accomplish. It just scatters
uselessly in every direction. Kenneth Copeland
#656 If you are not a doer
of the Word, no one has to deceive you, you deceive your own self. If you don’t
bridle your tongue—you will deceive your heart. You will sow the wrong words,
and that is the harvest you will reap. The seed you sow will produce after its
kind. Many people wonder why things turn out the way they do. It is because
their tongue deceived their heart, and the heart brings forth fruit of itself
(Mark 4:26-29). Charles Capps
#657 Notice that James
called God’s Word the Perfect Law of Liberty and said a doer of that word would
be blessed in what he does. Jesus reveals why the Word is called the Perfect
Law in Matthew 12:35, “A good man out of the good deposit, or good treasure, of
his heart bringeth forth good things.” Who brings it forth? The good man from
the good deposit of his heart. It is the perfect law of liberty because you are
the one that makes the choice of what you produce. Charles Capps
#658 What you deposit in
your heart is what will come forth. Out of the abundance of the heart, the
mouth speaks. Charles Capps
#659 What’s abundantly in
your heart will always get in your mouth. Then what’s abundantly in your mouth
will also get in your heart. You get it in your heart by saying it with your
mouth. Paul tells us in Romans 10:8, “the righteousness which is of faith
says... the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart”. Notice
it’s in your mouth first, then in your heart. Charles Capps
#660 “For if any be a
hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural
face in a glass” (James 1:23). The glass to which James was referring is the
Word of God. Charles Capps
#661 The Bible refers
several times to the Word as a glass or mirror. The natural face alludes to
what you inherited. You look into this Word and see what God said about you.
You say, “Look what I’ve inherited.” You see that you are a joint-heir with Jesus.
You think, “Glory to God!” But you may go out and face the circumstances of
life and forget what manner of man you are unless you make a decision to act on
what the Word of God says about you. Charles Capps
#662 As your faith
increases, your limitations decrease. You notice that the things which seemed
impossible six months before have become possible. Your faith has grown. Jerry
Savelle
#663 Psalm 112 is the
description of those who have their heart established in God’s Word. They are
not afraid of evil tidings; they are not afraid of bad news; they are not moved
by contradictory evidence; they are not moved by the woes and cares and pressures
of this world. Their heart is fixed and settled trusting in the Lord. Jerry
Savelle
#664 You can live with
your heart established, trusting in the Lord, and not be afraid of anything.
The established heart knows that in every situation, God is more than enough,
and He will meet every need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Jerry Savelle
#665 Next time the devil
tries to tell you that you can't hear God's voice, remember that Jesus said His
sheep will know His voice and a stranger's voice they will not follow. That is
a promise of God to you today. You see, the Spirit of God will never guide you
in opposition to the written Word of God (John 16:13). So, if you're not
familiar with what the Word says, you'll find it more difficult to discern His
leading. Gloria Copeland
#667 Get familiar with
God's voice by meditating and studying the Word of God. Follow God's
instruction to Joshua and meditate on it day and night. Act on what you find in
the Word, not just when it's easy, but every time. Be obedient even in the
slightest things. Gloria Copeland
#668 That continual
obedience to the written Word will bring you into maturity and tune your inward
ear to the voice of the Spirit. You'll soon be able to recognize it as easily
as you recognize the voice of your dearest friend. Gloria Copeland
#669 The Israelites were
headed toward the Promised Land. They had opposition from every direction. They
felt overwhelmed, outnumbered, and inadequate. In the natural, they didn't have
a chance. But God said to them in Isaiah, “I will go before you and level the
mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron... so
that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by
name.” Joel Osteen
#670 You may have big
obstacles in your path, situations in your health, your finances, or a
relationship. You don't see how it could work out; the odds are against you,
but God is saying to you what He said to the Israelites: “I'm going to go before you and level
those mountains.” Joel Osteen
#671 Whatever is trying to
stop you—a mountain of sickness, a mountain of addictions, a mountain of
depression—may look insurmountable to you, but it is no match for our God. One
touch of His favor will turn that mountain into level ground. That means you
won't even have to climb over it. It's going to be easier than you think.
You're not going to have to struggle, work, worry, or fight. God is going to
smooth it all out. It may be a mountain now; it may look intimidating, but
don't worry. It's about to become level ground. Joel Osteen
#672 When you use your
mouth to express gratitude for what you already have, you have just turned up
the heat that one degree and opened the door for success. If you will adopt the
discipline of voicing gratitude rather than complaints, you will experience
greater success in seeing your dreams realized. Being thankful even causes you
to attract more to be thankful for. Terri Savelle Foy
#673 “But let patience
have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing”
(James 1:4). The word perfect here means “mature.” So, the trying of your faith
“worketh patience” that you may be mature, entire, wanting or lacking not a thing.
Wouldn't you like to be mature in the Lord, entire, lacking not a thing? In
order to come to that place, you must learn something about Bible patience.
Keith Butler
#674 What does the word
patience in the Bible mean? It means “to be steadfast, to be unmovable.”
Another definition of patience is “to remain constant.” The Lord says that “the
trying of your faith worketh patience.” Keith Butler
#675 Along with faith, we
should follow after righteousness, which means right standing with God;
godliness, or being God-like; love, patience and meekness. Keith Butler
#676 The power of patience
is a working power. When faith has a tendency to waver, it is patience that
comes to faith's aid to make it stand. The power of patience is necessary to
undergird faith. Kenneth Copeland
#677 Almost everywhere you
find faith mentioned in the Bible, you also find patience. Faith and patience
are the power twins. Together they will produce every time. Patience without
faith has no power to call into reality the thing desired. Faith is the substance
of things we hope for. Patience without faith has no substance. Kenneth
Copeland
#678 On the other hand,
faith without patience many times will fail to stand firm on the evidence of
the Word that gives deed to things not seen. Jesus told Peter that he had
prayed for him that his faith fail not. Without the power of patience at work, we
will allow sensory knowledge—the things we see—to overwhelm our faith. Kenneth
Copeland
#679 Patience undergirds
faith and gives it endurance to persevere until the answer comes. Faith is a
powerful force. It always works. It is not that our faith is weak and needs
strength, but without the power of patience we ourselves stop the force of faith
from working with negative confession and action. It is our faith, and we can
put it into action. It is our faith, and we can stop it from working. Kenneth
Copeland
#680 Faith is a force that
is to be developed. The same scripture says that we are to be sound in faith.
Patience and faith are two individual forces. They work together the way faith
and love work together. All of these are different forces. They each play a
different role in our Christian lives. Kenneth Copeland
#681 It is dangerous to
confuse these forces and try to use one in the place of the other. For
instance, the Bible says in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is the substance of things
hoped for. Hope without faith has no substance. People say, “We are hoping and
praying.” This sounds good but it has no substance. In this case, hope is being
confused with faith. Without the substance of faith that kind of praying will
not produce any results. Kenneth Copeland
#682 One of the most
common traditions and mistakes in this area of believing is that trials and
tribulations develop faith. Trials and tribulations do not develop
faith...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Kenneth
Copeland
#683 Trials and
tribulations develop patience. We have already learned from James Chapter 1
that this is true. The Apostle Paul says the same thing in Romans 5:3, “And not
only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience.” Kenneth Copeland
#684 Faith is developed as
we act on the Word of God. Hebrews 12:2 states that Jesus is the Author and
Finisher, or Developer of our faith. It does not say that Satan is the
developer of our faith. Kenneth Copeland
#685 It is vitally
important that we realize the difference between the developing of faith and
developing of patience. Faith should be developed on the Word of God before the
trial or testing comes. Kenneth Copeland
#686 Jesus said in Luke
6:47 that if a man acts on His words, he likened him unto a man who builds his
house on a rock. When the flood beat upon the house, the house did not fall.
Notice the man had to dig deep. This is where his faith was developed. During
the storm is when his patience was developed. He knew his house would stand
because it was built on rock. Kenneth Copeland
#687 Remember how Jesus
said the man built on that rock? He acted on the Word. Faith is developed
before the trial comes. The force of patience is developed in the trial or
tribulation and undergirds or keeps the door open for our faith to work and to
overcome whatever has been put before us. Kenneth Copeland
#688 The definition of
patience is being constant or being the same way at all times. James says in
Chapter 1 that we are to be single-minded. We must always respond or react in
every circumstance of life the same way—on the Word of God. Kenneth Copeland
#689 Regardless of what
may be thrown at us, we must become so Word-of-God minded that we do not act in
fear or doubt but always act on whatever the Word of our God says. Kenneth
Copeland
#690 Faith is the substance of things hoped
for... You hope
for that promise to be true for you. We all hope
for the promises of the Word of God to become true in our personal life, such
as healing, financial prosperity and spiritual gifts. But hope will not bring
the promise into manifestation. Yet hope
is needful. For without hope you won't have anything for faith to give
substance to. Charles Capps
#691 People come to be
prayed for hoping to
be healed. But hope will not heal them, because there is no substance of
healing in hope. Yet, if they didn't have hope, they wouldn't come. Many lose
hope, then they have nothing for faith to give substance to. They give up too
quickly. Charles Capps
#692 Trials are a design
of Satan. If you believe that God sends trials, that is a devastating blow to
your faith. If God is doing it, certainly you don't want to resist God. For
instance, in the area of sickness, if it's God's will for you to be sick, why
go to a doctor and try to get out of God's will? Charles Capps
#693 It is God's will that
you be well. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be
in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 2). God wants you healed, and
He will go any way you choose: through doctors, through the Word, or both. But,
if you fall for Satan's lie, your faith is in neutral. You cannot use your
faith to get rid of something you believe God gave you. Charles Capps
#694 Satan is not the
finisher of your faith, and if trials and tests perfected faith, Satan would be
the finisher of it. Hebrews 12:2 declares that Jesus is the author and finisher
of your faith. Always remember that. Charles Capps
#695 Faith is substance.
Hope is a goal setter. Charles Capps
#696 To activate our
faith, we must see ourselves having an answer even though it is not yet
manifested. It will be very difficult for you to receive your healing if you
picture yourself sick. Proverbs 23:7 tells us, “For as he thinketh in his
heart, so is he.” That image inside of you is key to your outcome. David
Shipman
#697 Vision is actually a
very simple concept. If you will study men of vision like Alexander Graham
Bell, Thomas Edison, and Bill Gates, you will understand that vision simply
means “sight”—very clear sight. However, this “sight” has nothing to do with your
eyeballs. It means being able to have a clear picture of your destination
(vision) and how you plan to achieve it. David Shipman
#698 Hope is a vital link
to workable faith. I mix faith with hope. If you have no hope, faith alone will
not produce results. Faith gives substance to hope. Faith is the evidence of
things not seen. Hope is the climate in which faith works. John Osteen
#699 One thing I've
noticed is that when you live with an attitude of constant gratitude, not only
will you thank God for what He's done in your life, you start thanking Him for
what He will do in the future. You thank Him for opening doors for you. You thank
Him for increasing you. You thank Him for bringing the right people into your
life. Joel Osteen
#700 When we say “thank
You” to God for the things that are coming, it's really a declaration of our
faith in Him. It's saying, “God, I'm so sure of Your goodness, I'm so sure that
You're working in my life that I'm going to thank You right now for what You
are going to do tomorrow.” Friend, that's the kind of faith that pleases God.
Joel Osteen
#701 God wants us to trust
in His goodness and believe that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek
Him. He delights in seeing our faith. He delights in an attitude of gratitude.
Joel Osteen
#702 Jesus said,
“Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole.” There is a faith that cannot, that
will not, be denied. There is a faith that says “I have it now!” There is a
faith that so trusts and believes God that no force of hell can stop it. And
you can have that faith right now! Only believe, like she did! Jerry Baysinger
#703 The devil may have
destined us for pain and sorrow, but we can change our destiny through faith in
God. We hold the key to our own destiny and future. God doesn't. God already
has done everything He's going to do for mankind. He has made a way of escape.
Through the blood redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can have faith to
change our destiny while on this earth. Kenneth W. Hagin
#704 Forgiveness is
twofold: Not only must you learn to forgive others; you also must learn to forgive yourself. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#705 It
takes faith to forgive! In fact, your faith won't work unless you do forgive.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#706 In Mark 11:24, after
Jesus had spoken about “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive them, and ye shall have them,” with the same breath, in the
same setting, He immediately began talking about forgiveness in connection with
prayer: “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that
your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses” (v.25).
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#707 The Bible says that
our faith won't work if our love is not working. When we are rooted and
grounded in God's love, our faith ignites His power. But when our love
generators are damaged or no longer operating because of offense,
unforgiveness, or disobedience, we can't expect the manifestation of our
prayers. Creflo Dollar
#708 I don't have to
struggle anymore with the question, “Oh God, why aren't you answering my
prayers?” I know if my faith is not working, it's because my love is not
working. Creflo Dollar
#709 Faith and grace are
two very important subjects in the Bible. When you study the Bible, you'll find
that both of them operate together. Both Romans 4:16 and Romans 5:1-2
illustrate this connection: “Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace”
(Romans 4:16). Keith Butler
#710 “Therefore, being
justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By
whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice
in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:1-2) Keith Butler
#711 Faith gives us access
into the grace of God; it is, therefore, important that we understand what
faith is and what grace is. The grace of God is available to every believer,
but it's accessed by faith. Keith Butler
#712 Faith is the
accelerator of grace; it makes the grace of God go in your life. You can't
receive anything in the grace of God except through the vehicle of the faith of
God. Keith Butler
#713 If you want to enjoy
the promises of God in this life, you're going to have to receive them just as
Abraham did: by becoming “fully persuaded.” Mac Hammond
#714 Partially persuaded
won't do. Almost persuaded won't either. The marvelous promises of God will be
yours when and only when you, like Abraham, become fully persuaded. Mac Hammond
#715 Some people might
think it’s peculiar to talk to pain. But I don’t, because that’s what Jesus
did. As we’ve already seen, when He healed Peter’s mother-in-law, He rebuked
the fever. He didn’t rebuke her. He didn’t even rebuke the devil. He spoke directly
to the sickness. Lynne Hammond
#716 One minister I know
was reading that story one day and he asked himself, “Can fevers hear?” After
considering the fact that when Jesus rebuked the fever and it left, he decided,
“Yes, fevers can hear! And if fevers can hear, ulcers can hear. If ulcers can
hear, tumors can hear. If tumors can hear, cancer can hear. Any sickness or
disease can hear.” The question is, are we speaking to them? Lynne Hammond
#717 We should be, because
Jesus is our example, and in the Bible we see Him speaking to things all the
time. We see Him speaking to wind and waves. We see Him speaking to trees. We
see Him speaking to infirmities. What’s more, in Matthew 17:20 He said this:
…For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say
to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move; and nothing will
be impossible for you (NKJV). Lynne Hammond
#718 Thank God, we have
been given authority to speak to the mountains in our lives, and sickness is
one of those mountains! Lynne Hammond
#719 Everything that we
need for this life was made available to us over two thousand years ago.
However, it is important that we believe that the promises of God are really
true for us today. We must believe and receive it, and trust that God’s Word is
true, even when we don’t see the manifestation of it yet! Creflo Dollar
#720 Matthew 6:33 tells us
not to worry or be anxious for anything but to seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto us because our
heavenly Father knows that we have need of them. That is the will of God for
our life and we can pray that Scripture. Creflo Dollar
#721 However, God’s will
doesn’t automatically come to pass in our lives. That is why when we pray to
God about anything, we must pray knowing that it has already been done. We have
to cooperate by believing His promises and receiving the manifestation of them.
Creflo Dollar
#722 I want you to
understand how meditating on God’s promises and using your imagination can lead
to great success in life. When you meditate on the Word—which is spiritual—that
Word is digested in your spirit. And when you imagine a thing, something is
taking place in your heart. Your mind and your heart are working in concert to
create images. They’re connected by the bridge called the imagination. Creflo
Dollar
#723 You can literally
build your healing, your business, your prosperity, your marriage, or anything
else you need in life. How? Just make a commitment to consistently meditate on
God’s Word, and use your imagination to develop an inner image of God’s precious
promises coming to pass in your life. It all begins with changing the way you
think! Creflo Dollar
#724 It makes a lot of
difference, friends, when you walk in love. When you walk in love, your faith
will work. If my faith wasn't working, that's the first thing I would check up
on—to see if I was walking in love. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#725 We know that faith
works by love; in fact, faith won't work any other way. In other words, you
could have faith to move mountains, but if you're not walking in love, your
faith will be ineffective. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#726 You've got to release
the love of God from your heart in the same way you release your faith—through
actions and words—because faith and love are of the heart. And faith works by
love! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#727 Most of us spend a
lot of time trying to have faith. We know that without faith it is impossible
to please God (Hebrews 11:6), so we work and strive at having more faith. But
faith is of the heart, and you get it only through a relationship of loving
fellowship with God. I can't really teach you faith, but I can teach you the
principles of faith and make you so hungry for it you will do anything to get
it. Joyce Meyer
#728 Faith only comes by
revelation from God. Stop trying so hard to get faith and please God, and start
spending all that time and effort with God, loving Him. Just go around all day
loving Him and letting Him love you. Joyce Meyer
#729 The Amplified Bible says in 2
Corinthians 5:7 that “...we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our
conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God.” In other words, I am only going to be able to walk in
faith based on what I believe about my relationship with God.
Do you understand that? A person who believes he is unrighteous might as well
forget walking in faith. Joyce Meyer
#730 A person who believes
he is an old worm in the dust and God does not love Him might as well forget
the faith walk, too. A lot of people are trying to walk in faith, but they
don't have these other things in their hearts. Joyce Meyer
#731 Trusting God and
walking in faith is leaning on Him and trusting Him for everything. You can't
do that with someone if you don't know he loves you. You might as well forget
it. You are never going to be able to trust God if you don't know He loves you.
Joyce Meyer
#732 If you really knew
how much God loves you, you would have less trouble receiving a healing. You
would have less trouble receiving your financial needs met. The reason you
can't receive is that you don't really believe, totally, that God is giving it
to you. Joyce Meyer
#733 Proverbs 2:2 agrees
with James 1:5-6, which says when you want wisdom, you must ask for it in faith
and not waver. Proverbs 2:2 takes that thought a step further and tells you to
direct your mind and your heart toward God's wisdom. You have to go after the
wisdom and knowledge of God, applying all of your powers—your concentration,
your energy, your efforts—to obtaining it. It has to become the quest of your
life. Gloria Copeland
#734 In fact, you must search for skillful and godly Wisdom as
for hidden treasures (Proverbs 2:4, AMP). The way to find
wisdom is to go after it with the same effort and desire that natural people go
after material wealth. The truth is, no one ever seeks after God with all their
heart without finding Him. Gloria Copeland
#735 One of my favorite
things about blind Bartimaeus is that he refused to let the people around him
discourage him. They did not have the faith in God's goodness that he had. The
crowd had such limited understanding of God's love that they thought Jesus
would not be interested in a seemingly worthless, blind beggar. Gloria Copeland
#736 But Bartimaeus had
heard about Jesus. No doubt he had heard of His mercy and kindness and His
healing power. And he believed. So when the people tried to shut him up, he
cried out all the louder, “Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!” Why did
he cry so loudly? Because he was convinced in his heart that if Jesus heard
him, He would answer. Jesus would deliver him. This was his chance of a
lifetime. Jesus heard him and when He did, He stood still and commanded that
Bartimaeus be called. Gloria Copeland
#737 Aggressive faith gets
Jesus' attention. Gloria Copeland
#738 What Bartimaeus did
next was one of the most beautiful expressions of faith recorded in the New
Testament. He threw off his cloak. By that act, he was making a very clear
statement. He was saying, “I'm not a blind man anymore. Jesus has heard me, and
I'm as good as healed!” Gloria Copeland
#739 Notice what Jesus
asked Bartimaeus next. He said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” (Verse 51
AMP). Bartimaeus said boldly, “Master, let me receive my sight” (Verse 51).
Bartimaeus was in perfect position to receive. Gloria Copeland
#740 God was looking to
and fro throughout the whole earth for someone to whom He could show Himself
strong...and He found Bartimaeus full of faith, speaking and acting with great
confidence in Jesus' goodness and power. The connection was made and Jesus
said, “Go your way; your faith has healed you” (Verse 52 AMP). Gloria Copeland
#741 I want you to be
impressed by Jesus' goodness and how willing He was to express that goodness.
Whatever those who came to Him for help said, He said. Jesus acted on their
words! He, being just like the Father, was easy to receive from. Gloria Copeland
#742 When you've seen Jesus, you've seen the
Father (John 14:8-10). The Bible says, “Every good gift and
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). There is
no changing in Him. Gloria Copeland
#743 Jesus and the Father
are still going about doing good and healing all who will receive. “The Lord is
good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works” (Psalms 145:9).
Gloria Copeland
#744 Jesus is saying the
same thing to you today that He said to Bartimaeus. He is asking all who would
look to Him in faith, “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus is alive and
well today and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is just as
anointed and compassionate today as He was when Bartimaeus sat by the roadside
begging. Gloria Copeland
#745 The Resurrected Lord,
the Messiah, is saying to you, “Receive your healing today! Receive your
deliverance today!” Gloria Copeland
#746 God found a woman in
Mary who said, “Behold (look), You have found her. You have found the one. Be
it done according to thy Word.” According to feelings? No. According to thy
Word. Charles Capps
#747 The Word was God, and
Jesus was the Word made flesh. It was the Word that was made flesh. Mary
conceived the Word of God in her heart; then she went to Elisabeth's house and
told her, “He hath done great things” (Luke 1:49). How did she know? Because
the angel of the Lord had told her, and she received that Word. Do you think she
felt any different? No. Do you think she looked any different? No. What was her
evidence? Faith and her words! Charles Capps
#748 “He hath done great
things”, said Mary. The Word said she was filled with the Holy Ghost, and she
began to prophesy. She had conceived the Word of God in her spirit, and then it
became manifest in her physical body. Charles Capps
#749 God says to “meditate
the Word by day and by night, and to incline your ear to His sayings” (Joshua
1:8; Proverbs 4:20). The number one method God has chosen for us to use in
increasing our faith is to exercise this spiritual law. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Beginning with
the measure of faith residing within us, we apply this spiritual law by
meditating the Word. God imparts the faith in that Word into our hearts,
increasing our original measure. Jerry Savelle
#750 God has faith because
He is the Source of faith. When we go to the Word, God gives us faith to move
the mountain of need. At times the mountain gets bigger as the need is greater.
By meditating the Word, we get sufficient faith to take care of that need.
Jerry Savelle
#751 The purpose of
mountain-moving faith is to remove the things which come into our lives to
hinder us spiritually, mentally, financially or physically. Some people believe
that this promise only pertains to spiritual mountains. However, in Matthew 21:21,
Jesus used faith-filled words to cause a fig tree to wither from the roots and
die. That was natural, not spiritual. Kenneth Copeland
#752 In Mark 11:22-26,
Jesus said, “whosoever,” so this is for the believer, not just for the minister
or someone with some kind of special calling. You have the potential to operate
in the same faith that I have. He also said, “When you stand praying, forgive.”
Operating in mountain-moving faith is dependent upon operating in forgiveness.
Faith pleases God, but faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). Kenneth Copeland
#753 It is impossible to
please God and to hold something in your heart against someone at the same
time. You forgive because you choose to forgive and because it pleases God, not
because you feel like doing it. Kenneth Copeland
#754 Mountain-moving faith
is centered around believing you receive (believing it is happening for you
now!). There is more to believing you receive than just having someone lay
hands on you and saying, “I believe I receive.” Kenneth Copeland
#755 In order to believe
you receive, you must establish in your heart that the Word of God is true. You
need a standard, something that will put you in agreement with God. The miracle
you need is already inside of you because God is in you. All you need is to
find the key that will open the door and release it. The key is getting your
spirit, soul and body in agreement with the Word. Kenneth Copeland
#756 “How can I get God's
mercy and grace flowing in my life?” Give Him an opening! He waits for you to
open the door to Him. How do you open that door? You'll find a clue in Romans
5:2. It says, “...we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand...”
Faith gives us access into His wonderful grace. God works the same way in every
area of life. When we believe Him and begin to speak in faith about His
blessings, we gain access to them. Gloria Copeland
#757 You get healed
because you've opened the door to the grace of healing by faith. Faith opens
that door! From the new birth to healing to prosperity—it's faith that gives
you access to every aspect of God's grace. You can't get around that principle.
It's just the way God works. Gloria Copeland
#758 You need to realize
that confession precedes possession. Most people want to possess the blessing
first and then they'll confess it. But notice Jesus said, “he shall have
whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23). You see, at the time you say it, you don't have
it. That's because confession precedes possession. You must confess God's Word
to bring the thing you desire into the realm of reality (Hebrews 11:1). Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#759 You must believe
your words. You must believe in your heart that what you say will come to pass.
You must believe the Word of God in your heart and then you must believe the
Word of God on your lips. We believe and therefore we speak (2 Corinthians
4:13). Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#760 Believing and speaking the Word is operating in the
same principle of faith Jesus talked about in Mark 11:23. There are many
examples in the Word that show us that, good or bad, our words dominate our
lives. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#761 The word
“salvation” not only means the saving of your soul where you'll spend eternity
in the presence of God forever, but the word salvation is all inclusive of
everything that mankind needs. It means wholeness, soundness, safety,
deliverance, peace, healing, prosperity, preservation. Whatever it is that you
need, it is available to you, and it only comes by believing in your heart and
confessing it with your mouth. Carolyn Savelle
#762 Where is faith? It's
in two places. Faith is in your heart, and faith is in your mouth. What's in
your heart has to come out of your mouth. Carolyn Savelle
#763 “And Peter answered
him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.” “And he
said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter was come down out of the ship, He walked on the
water” (Matthew 14:28-29). It's easy to be so afraid of making a mistake that
you never get around to stepping out on faith. You can spend all your time
wondering, “Is this faith? Or is it presumption? What if I exercise my faith
for something and find out later I've missed God's will?” Don't worry. God can
handle any mistake you can make. Kenneth Copeland
#764 Faith NEVER takes a
vacation—it’s replenished and strengthened by the Word. Jerry Savelle
#765 “Faith is not faith
if it’s not expanding. Faith is not faith if it’s idle. Faith is not faith if
it’s lying dormant. Faith only knows to increase
and to reach further—that’s the nature of faith.” Jerry Savelle
#766 And when you STAY in
faith—you WILL receive a harvest, a reward, an answered prayer! Jerry Savelle
#768 Change what you’re
saying and you’ll change what you’re seeing. Terri Savelle Foy
#769
Make a decision to do what God fully put in your heart to do! Terri Savelle Foy
#770 Patience undergirds and sustains faith until the result
is manifest. After you have meditated on the promises of God and have them in
your spirit, patience will encourage you to hold steady. Gloria Copeland
#771 Patience is power. It has the courage to refuse the lie
of Satan that says the Word is not working for you. It knows that God’s Word
has never failed. Patience will not draw back in fear but will press forward in
faith until you have the answer. Gloria Copeland
#772 When the results of your faith seem slow in coming,
don’t give up! Continue to put the Word first, with patience, and you will surely
receive the promise of God! Gloria Copeland
#773 Once you truly understand that you have the life of God inside you,
you’ll begin to act just like Jesus did. You’ll lay hands on the sick and
they’ll recover. You’ll cast out demons. You’ll preach the gospel to every
creature. Gloria Copeland
#774 Unbelief looks at the past
and says, “See, it can’t be done.” But faith looks at the future and says, “It
can be done, and according to the promises of God, it is done!” Then putting
past failures behind it forever, faith steps out and acts like the victory’s
already been won. Kenneth Copeland
#775 Faith in the spiritual realm is like cash in the secular realm. It
is spiritual money that can purchase anything the Bible says that you can have.
When you present faith, there is nothing that can stop you from obtaining
whatever it is that you are trying to obtain. Why? Because your faith is
already paid for. Dr. Leroy Thompson
#776 Hebrews 12:2 says, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of
our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the Throne of God. And when
Jesus died on the Cross He said, It is finished. (John 19:30). Your faith is
finished. It’s complete. It’s already done! Dr. Leroy Thompson
#777 You have the power to operate in finished faith! God has the
receipt waiting for you. All you have to do is present that receipt by faith
and use it to collect whatever it is that you need to collect! Dr. Leroy
Thompson
#778 Faith rejoices, even
in times of trial. When you have the spirit of faith, you're so happy, people
think everything in your life is just fine. Lynne Hammond
#779 First Peter 1:5-9
says it this way: “[You] are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold
temptations: that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold
that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might
be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet
believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end
of your faith...” Lynne Hammond
#780
Notice those verses say that if you're believing, you rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory and you receive the end of your faith! Lynne
Hammond
#781 You don’t have to get
in a big hurry about some things. The Bible says, “… He that believeth shall
not make haste” (Isaiah 28:16). Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#782 Faith doesn’t get in
a hurry. The devil will try to push you. He will say, “Hurry up, hurry up,
hurry, hurry, hurry.” He will try to move you out of faith, and move you into
doubt, move you into unbelief, and get you away from the leading of God. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#783 Doubt talks in the
language of man. Faith talks in the language of God. Pastor Rob Spina
#784 Faith activates God.
Fear activates the enemy. Joel Osteen
#785 God can do things in
an instant that would take you years to try to make happen yourself. Terri
Savelle Foy
#786 Commit to hearing from God. I
cannot emphasize this point enough. Everything God wants to do in you, for you,
and through you starts here. Whether you need wisdom for a relationship,
career, schooling, or what's next for your life, the answer can always be found
in a word from God. Terri Savelle Foy
#787 Whenever you spend
time in prayer, keep a notebook and pen with you. Even if you can only manage
five minutes to go somewhere quiet, ask the Lord what He wants you to do, and
write down what you hear. When you do this over and over, you are training
yourself to hear from God. And you position yourself for Him to move in your
life like never before. Terri Savelle Foy
#788 To see where your
life is headed, listen to the words that have been coming out of your mouth.
Your dreams could be delayed because of what you are saying. Speaking negative
words over your life will hinder what God wants to do. Terri Savelle Foy
#789 In the Bible, the
angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah to tell him his prayers for a baby had been
answered. But, when Zechariah began to express doubt and give reasons why this
couldn't be, the angel zipped his lips for nine months! God knew if Zechariah
was allowed to say whatever he felt like, he would mess everything up and miss
His blessing. Terri Savelle Foy
#790 Instead of
complaining about how bad things are and how you can't seem to get ahead, start
declaring: I am blessed! I am favored! I am an overcomer! I am healthy and full
of life! Terri Savelle Foy
#791 It's one thing to
stop saying the wrong words, it's another thing to start saying the right
words. Your victory is in your mouth! Terri Savelle Foy
#792 You have to step out
of your comfort zone if you want to see the dreams and goals God's given you
come to pass. Terri Savelle Foy
#793 When the Israelites
were preparing to enter the Promised Land, they were told the way they had to
go was a direction they had never been before (see Joshua 3:4). It was
different and unfamiliar. I believe God is saying this to you today: New things
are on the horizon, but you have to step out in faith! Terri Savelle Foy
#794 Fear will try to stop
you from ever trying, but faith takes action! You have to cast out thoughts of
failure, insecurity, and doubt. Terri Savelle Foy
#795 Romans 4:16 calls
Abraham our father of faith. God made a covenant with Abraham, saying, “I have
made you the father of many nations.” He didn't say, “I will make you.” He
said, “I have made you.” Mark Brazee
#796 God always calls
those things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). He talks about what
doesn't exist as though it already existed. That's why it's all right for us to
do the same. We're not lying; we're just following God's example. Mark Brazee
#797 God told Abraham, “I
have made you the father of many nations.” Remember, He was talking to a
100-year-old man and his 90-year-old wife! Abraham and Sarah were past the age
for having children. Medically speaking, it was impossible. Mark Brazee
#798 Abraham had a deep
awe and respect for Almighty God. In the natural, the situation looked
hopeless, but he believed what God said. That's the key. Mark Brazee
#799 Abraham had to
believe what God said before he could become what God said. “[Abraham] against
hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations,
according to that which was spoken…” (v. 18). Mark Brazee
#800 When it comes to your
faith walk, you're no different than the father of faith. You have to believe
what God has said about you before you can become what God has called you. Mark
Brazee
#801 Proverbs 18:21 “Death
and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its
fruit.” If you love the results you are getting, then keep saying what you've
been saying. If you don’t like the results of what you’re saying, then stop
speaking doubt, complaining and negativity. Begin glorifying Jesus. Bill
Hanshew
#802 Many people do not
believe that their words affect the end result or outcome of their lives. Yet
Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Bill
Hanshew
#803 The writer of
Proverbs 18:21 uses the expression, “they that love it….”. Love what? They love
what's been coming out of their mouths. What does it mean to love the words
that come out of a person's mouth? It means that you are unwilling to change what
you are saying. In the Hebrew it means that you love it “like a friend.” In
other words, we could say, “I love my words so much, that they are just like my
best friend and I'm not willing to give up my friend.” Some people love their
words so much, that they will not change what they say! Bill Hanshew
#804 If we are not willing
to change even in our words, then we are in defiance of scriptures that tell us
we are to be conformed (or transformed) to the very image of Christ. (Transform
means to change). “God saves us as we are, but doesn't want to leave us the way
we were when we came to Him.” God is not trying to control our lives, but
through His Word, He has given us the provision to be transformed. Romans 8:29
says, “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image
of His Son.” Bill Hanshew
#805 His Word is saying,
“If you keep saying what you've been saying, then you will keep getting what
you've been getting.” You will “eat its fruit….”, meaning that you get the
reward of what you have been saying. Bill Hanshew
#806 Are you committed to
speaking words of encouragement, words of blessing, words that agree with God's
Word? Or are you committed to speaking words that tear down, words that
discourage you and others, words that do not agree with God's Word? Do you love
the fruit of what you are eating and experiencing through the words that come
out of your mouth enough not to change? Bill Hanshew
#807 Job 6:24 says, “Teach
me, and I will hold my tongue; cause me to understand wherein I have erred.”
You can learn to “hold {your} tongue.” You can learn to change what you've been
speaking. But, only you can make the decision to change. Bill Hanshew
#808 Proverbs 13:3 NLT
“Those who control their tongue will have a long life; a quick retort can ruin
everything.” A person, who does not control or guard their mouth, can destroy
their own life with their words. If you control or guard what you say, you can
literally protect your life and produce “long life.” Bill Hanshew
#809 Negative words only
serve to feed your mountains and make them larger. Bill Hanshew
#810 You may say, “What am
I supposed to say to the mountain (obstacle, problem, trouble)?” You are to
speak the written Word of God to it and tell the mountain to be gone. Bill
Hanshew
#811 God doesn't want us
to just barely get by in life. He wants us to thrive and experience the
fullness of His blessing. Not only does He want to meet our needs, He wants us
to be in a position to reach out and help meet the needs of others, too. Joel Osteen
#812 When we pray and ask
God for something, it opens a supernatural door. Our faith gives God something
to work with. Faith is what pleases Him. Faith moves mountains. Joel Osteen
#813 Did you know that it
pleases God when we pray bold prayers and ask Him for big things? God loves it
when we step outside of the realm of the possible and totally believe what He
can do. With God, all things are possible! Joel Osteen
#814 Today, I encourage
you to get bold with your prayers. Ask God for big things. Believe that He is
working behind the scenes on your behalf. Put your faith to work because God is
faithful. He has big things in store for you, and He says to ask Him! Joel
Osteen
#815 If you have an
attitude of faith, then you are continually looking upward for guidance. You'll
keep your eyes on Jesus. Practically, how do you keep your eyes on Jesus?
Through fellowship with Him. Simply by praying and keeping your heart open to
Him on a daily basis. (Not just on a Sunday basis - a daily basis!) Dr. Jesse
Duplantis
#816 If you keep yourself
aware of the presence of God, then you'll be more in tune with His prompting
and you'll be more confident taking action! You'll be walking the same path
many of the most successful people of God throughout the ages have walked. You'll
be walking by faith! Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#817 That is why I have a
really hard time understanding people who say they don't believe in “that faith
stuff.” The Scripture says plainly enough, “But without faith it is impossible
to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). Dr. Jesse
Duplantis
#818 So if faith pleases
God then what does lack of faith do? Well, I guess there is only one thing it
can do - it displeases God. Now that's strong, I know. But what many people who
disregard faith are really saying is that they don't believe in pleasing God.
And, to me, that simply means that if they are flatly refusing to please God,
then they are living in disobedience to His Word. Whew! Strong, huh? Dr. Jesse
Duplantis
#819 Matthew 17:20 and
Mark 4:31-32 is not talking about having “a little bit of faith”, but rather to
get your faith in a seed form and plant it, water it, and watch it grow into
something large. Harvest time is not instant or overnight, but it takes a process
of time to see your faith grow and the promise to be fulfilled. Mark Barclay
#820 Don’t overload your
faith. When you are inspired by someone else’s faith and see their results, the
tendency may be to do what they did. However, their faith was developed in that
area, and they stepped out in faith as the Spirit led them. If you overload
your faith, then it may fail. Work on developing your faith one day at a time
for whatever it is you are believing for. Jerry Savelle
#821 Faith is believing
that God has done
what He said He would do and everything you say and do is based upon that
belief. Larry Ollison
#822 Faith involves four
steps: hearing the Word, believing the Word, speaking the Word, and doing the
Word. Larry Ollison
#823 There are four
building blocks to faith: 1) God cannot lie. If you think He is not telling the
truth, then doubt exists, and you cannot receive from God when you doubt in
your heart. 2) We must know the Word of God, for it gives you faith, and then you
can rightly divide the Word so you know what God is saying. 3) We must speak
the Word of God. Jesus spoke to the storm and it calmed down. We can speak to
our mountains and tell them to be removed and it will be so. 4) We must act on
the Word. James 2:17 says that faith without works is dead. Larry Ollison
#824 God has given each
person a gift which can open doors of opportunities and bring in great
blessings. Maybe you are just not aware of that gift you have inside you, or
perhaps it has profited you nothing thus far as you have not found out how best
to use it. You need to take your gift and ask God for wisdom to cultivate it
until it becomes such a powerful tool or “precious stone” that wherever you
turn, you prosper. Joseph Prince
#825 One definition of
“grace” is unmerited favor.
Grace is not something you earn by works. In other words, you didn't do
something in order to receive the grace of God. Another definition of “grace”
is closely related to the first definition: the
favor of God. Favor in general gives you access into places where
others do not have access. Keith Butler
#826 Faith and grace
operate together; faith is the accelerator of grace. Faith accelerates the
grace of God in your life. If you need more grace, simply exercise your faith.
Keith Butler
#827 When
it comes to finding your destiny, here's the key: Keep on praying. Keep praying
until you know. Keep praying so you can grow. Keep praying so you can go forth
and fulfill the glorious plan God has for you! Lynne Hammond
#828 Taking worry and
cares is really a form of pride. It shows you are dependent on your own self
instead of dependent on the Lord. Learn to leave your cares at the Lord's feet.
He can handle what you are facing. He will bring you through it! Lynne Hammond
#829 Don't focus on how
good a grip you have on God. Start thinking about what a good grip He has on
you! Lynne Hammond
#830 One of the names of
God is El Shaddai, the God of more than enough. We should be grateful that our
needs are met, we should thank God that we have enough, but don’t settle there.
That’s not your destiny. He wants you to have abundance so you can be a
blessing to others. Joel Osteen
#831 “Three things will
last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” 1
Corinthians 13:13 NLT
#832 There is a difference
between speaking to your mountain, and speaking about your
mountain. Kenneth W. Hagin
#833 Speaking about
your mountain will magnify the problem in your mind. The problem will begin to
look bigger and bigger in your sight. But speaking to your mountain
keeps things in proper perspective. Kenneth W. Hagin
#834 When you put God’s
Word in your mouth, magnifying the answer above all else, speaking to
the mountain will cause it to move. Kenneth W. Hagin
#835 Jesus said, “For
verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark
11:23-24 KJV).
#836 1. Take a day and
keep track of how many times you speak about the problem you’re facing.
2. Go to God’s Word—the Bible—and find out what it says about the
problem. 3. Begin to replace your words about the situation with God’s Word on
the matter. Kenneth W. Hagin
#837 Each time you start
to speak about the problem, remind yourself to speak to it. Tell
it to change and conform to what the Word says. Then, watch that mountain move!
Kenneth W. Hagin
#838 This world is framed
by the Word of God. He created it with faith-filled words. Charles Capps
#839 Hebrews 1:3 (KJV)
tells us that God is “upholding all things by the WORD of His POWER.” God’s
power is released in His Word! It holds everything in obedience to what He
said. Even the sun and the moon stay in orbit because of His Word. Charles
Capps
#840 When you proclaim the
Word of God over your life, you are framing your world with His Word. You are
making the decision to shape what you believe and confess by that Word. When
you do that, you allow faith to come. Charles Capps
#841 By faith you place a
demand on God’s Word, resulting in the promises of healing, health, life,
prosperity, blessing, joy and peace coming to pass. Charles Capps
#842 Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.” Those promises (healing, health, life, prosperity, blessing, joy and
peace) are the “substance of things” that God has given you. Charles Capps
#843 Search the wisdom of
God—His Word—to bring about His promises in your physical body, in your
business, in your family, in your mind and in your bank account. Start now and
frame your world with faith! Charles Capps
#844 If it’s too late to
do what you should have done this year, it’s time for you to forget those
things that are behind and to reach forth unto the things that are before you
(Philippians 3:13 KJV). The word forget in that verse is the Greek word epilanthanomai,
which depicts something that is done with, accomplished, and no
longer an issue before you. Rick Renner
#845 The word behind
is the word opiso, which describes something as no longer having
relevance in your life. It is old, antiquated, outdated and no longer
applicable. The words reach forth are translated from the word epikteinomai,
which pictures a runner in a race, his eyes fastened on the goal as he runs
with all his might to the finish line. Rick Renner
#846 Rather than focusing
on things of the past that no longer have relevance in your life, it’s time for
you to “reach forth” unto those things that are before you. Rick Renner
#847 Psalm 23 begins, “The
Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want” (NKJV). I believe that one
sentence best exemplifies what THE BLESSING will produce in the life of a
believer. God desires that you experience THE BLESSING to the level that you
do not want for anything. Jerry Savelle
#848 God wants you so
blessed that you can’t consume it all on yourself; instead, you have to
distribute it. In other words, you are blessed to be a blessing. Jerry
Savelle
#849 This isn’t an
occasional occurrence, either. According to Psalm 68:19 (NKJV), the
benefits of His BLESSING are something you should expect daily: “Blessed be the
Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” Jerry
Savelle
#850 What does a
benefit-filled life look like? Psalm 112:1-3 (NKJV) says, “Blessed is
the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. His
descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be
blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures
forever.” Jerry Savelle
#851 That’s God’s promise
to covenant people—that THE BLESSING is for your entire family. So, get
ready! There will come a day when you and your children are blessed to the
point that you can distribute THE BLESSING to other families and prevent
misfortune in their lives, too. Jerry Savelle
#852 It’s time to believe
God’s Word and decree His BLESSING over you and your children every day, for 1
Corinthians 7:14 (MSG) says, “... they also are included in the
spiritual purposes of God.” THE BLESSING is for your entire family. You are all
blessed to be a blessing! Jerry Savelle
#853 When you build a
relationship with the Holy Spirit, the desires of your heart are shaped and
created in accordance with your delight in Him. Delight shapes desire.
You’ll find that foolish wish list will fall away as your desires are shaped
into His will. Creflo Dollar
#854 Once I delighted
myself in the Lord, my desires changed. And then my plans changed. John 15:7 (KJV)
says, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye
will, and it shall be done unto you.” When you spend time in God’s Word, that
Word settles inside you and shapes your desire—and that’s going to shape what
you ask for. Creflo Dollar
#855 God wants to give us
more than we can imagine, but too many times we accept less. Don’t accept what
you can gain by your own ability and power. Instead, put your trust…and delight
yourself…in Him. Creflo Dollar
#856 Jesus is your healer.
Do you believe that? God sent Him so you could be completely whole in every
area of life. Lindsay Roberts
#857 He fulfilled the
prophecy given by Isaiah which said: “But He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our
peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5, NKJV).
Lindsay Roberts
#858 So often, we focus on
the things in our lives that aren’t how we want them to be instead of focusing
on God’s goodness and promises—including His promise of healing. We forget to
thank Him for all He’s done and continues to do. Lindsay Roberts
#859 But the Word of God
tells us that when we fear the Lord and depart from evil, “it will be health to
your flesh, and strength to your bones” (Proverbs 3:7-8, NKJV). Lindsay
Roberts
#860 During this season,
take time to thank the Lord for His healing promise. Thank Him that Jesus was
made manifest to destroy the works of the devil, so you could be healed and
whole in every area of life. And know that when you praise Him, He is there
with you (Psalm 22:3)! Lindsay Roberts
#861 Jesus equipped us to
live supernaturally. He said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they
shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17-18,
KJV). Mark Barclay
#862 Some Christians have
been so “naturalized” that living supernaturally like that is hard to believe.
But casting out demons, speaking in tongues, laying hands on the sick—this is
all part of the empowered Christian life. Mark Barclay
#863 Really, it’s just a
trick of the devil. If he can’t get us to turn from the Lord, he at least wants
to make sure we’re ineffective. He’ll try to convince you that you need to live
a nice, quiet Christian life—go to church, drop in your offering, sing a few
songs and go home. He’ll tell you that you need to keep from rocking the boat,
and to put up with whatever the world throws at you. Mark Barclay
#864 But that’s not you. You’re
a supernatural being! You’re not a mere man or woman. You are
God-possessed. You’re the temple of the Holy Ghost. You’re enabled. You’re
empowered. You have the gifts of the Spirit. You have the armor of God. Believe
it. Mark Barclay
#865 Every moment of your
life is infallible proof of God’s love and work. Now is the time to receive His
full power and start walking in all He has for you. Don’t be ashamed. Now is
the time to live supernaturally. It’s time to live what you believe! Mark
Barclay
#866 Have you ever had God
tell you to do something, and you just didn’t want to do it? I remember back
when God spoke to me and said, “Start a church in New York.” I responded,
“Yeah, that ain’t happening.” Creflo Dollar
#867 I wasn’t interested
in being a preacher. Besides, have you seen my last name? I had a different
plan. I was going to play pro football and coast the rest of my life. But then
Psalms 37:4 became real to me: “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall
give thee the desires of thine heart” (KJV). Creflo Dollar
#868 When most people read
that verse, they conclude that it means after they give the Holy Spirit their
wish lists, all they need to do is delight themselves in Him and—what do you
know!—they’ll get everything on their lists. Please. The Holy Ghost
isn’t Santa Claus, even if sometimes we treat Him like that. Creflo Dollar
#869 When you build a
relationship with the Holy Spirit, the desires of your heart are shaped and
created in accordance with your delight in Him. Delight shapes desire.
You’ll find that foolish wish list will fall away as your desires are shaped
into His will. Creflo Dollar
#870 Once I delighted
myself in the Lord, my desires changed. And then my plans changed. John 15:7 (KJV)
says, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye
will, and it shall be done unto you.” When you spend time in God’s Word, that
Word settles inside you and shapes your desire—and that’s going to shape what
you ask for. Creflo Dollar
#871 God wants to give us
more than we can imagine, but too many times we accept less. Don’t accept what
you can gain by your own ability and power. Instead, put your trust…and delight
yourself…in Him. Creflo Dollar
#872 I’ve heard people
say, as a matter of fact, “I don’t know why I’m not making it.” They forgot
that Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) says, “Death and life are in the power of the
tongue.” They have what they’ve been saying. Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#873 “Well, you know, Mama
had diabetes. Uncle Fred had diabetes. Grandma had diabetes. Grandma’s dog had
diabetes. Diabetes runs in our family.” Why, then, are you shocked when you get
diabetes? You believed the facts, and your faith worked. Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#874 It’s not a lack of
faith that keeps you from experiencing a healing miracle. That’s a lie the
devil has sold you. You don’t lack faith. God said He gives each man the
measure of faith (Romans 12:3). You just used up what you had and stopped
believing the truth. Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#875 See, you can’t just
store faith from years ago and use it when you need it. The Bible says in
Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”
(KJV). Faith comes by hearing—that’s present tense. It’s ongoing.
You need to be strengthening your faith in the truth today. Dr. Jesse
Duplantis
#876 If sickness and
disease attack your body, that might be the facts. But the truth is that by
Jesus’ stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24). The truth is that the Word is
health to all your flesh (Proverbs 4:22). The truth is that He heals all your
diseases (Psalm 103:3)! Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#877 If you’re going to
live above the facts of life, you have to continually fill yourself with
the uncompromised truth of God’s Word. How do you start? You start by making a
quality decision, right now, to fill yourself with the truth of God’s Word on a
daily basis…and then believe it. Truth trumps fact every time! Dr. Jesse
Duplantis
#878 Are you upset,
worrying, or trying to make something happen? You don’t have to be! God has a
place of peace and rest for you, and all you have to do to enter His rest is to
put your trust in Him! Joyce Meyer
#879 Choosing an attitude
of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul. Joyce Meyer
#880 Don’t be afraid to
wait with faith and patience, and not feel pressured to have an immediate
answer from God. Joyce Meyer
#881 Don’t complain. The
Israelites wasted forty years murmuring and complaining in the wilderness, when
they could have just obeyed God and entered into their Promised Land. Joyce
Meyer
#882 Don’t underestimate
the power of your words today. Line up your language with the heart of God, and
enjoy the sweet, delightful healing it brings! Joyce Meyer
#883 The world is going
faster and faster. People keep borrowing money to try and keep up with the
Joneses. Giving in to stress and pressure, they find themselves at the end of
their ropes. But God told us to enter His rest by faith. Mylon and Christi Le
Fevre
#884 In the natural, you
may not feel like you can do that. You may feel like you’ve tried everything
possible. Maybe you’ve tried positive thinking, changing your habits or even
pills. The problem is, you can’t just solve it in the natural. You need to look
to the Lord—because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you
(Philippians 4:13). Mylon and Christi Le Fevre
#885 Just listen to what
Jesus Himself said: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy
burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NLT). Mylon and
Christi Le Fevre
#886 Do you hear what He’s
saying? Jesus wants to take your stress and pressure. He goes on to say,
“Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at
heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (verse 29, NLT). Jesus wants
you to rest in Him. Mylon and Christi Le Fevre
#887 The writer of Hebrews
said, “God’s promise of entering his rest still stands...For only we who
believe can enter his rest” (chapter 4:1, 3, NLT). If you believe in
God, this was written to you. You can enter His rest because you believe in
Him. It’s for you. Mylon and Christi Le Fevre
#888 The Apostle Paul
emphasized the importance of hearing and speaking so others hear you in Romans
10:14-15 (KJV): “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And
how shall they hear without a preacher? Keith Butler
#889 “And how shall they
preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
There is power in speaking the Word! The only reason people come to a living
faith in Jesus is that they have heard it spoken by a preacher. You are
a preacher—whether you are called to the five-fold ministry or not! Keith
Butler
#890 When you declare the
Word of the Lord to others, you bring peace to their chaos. When you tell
others about Jesus, you announce glad tidings to their saddened state. When you
speak God’s Words, you speak beautiful things into ugly situations. Keith Butler
#891 Just a couple verses
later, Paul explained the critical role we all have in the faith process:
“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (verse 17, KJV). As
we declare God’s Word to others, they will hear, and they will believe. Keith
Butler
#892 Look for
opportunities to share the Word of God. Your declaration of faith could bring
someone else into faith, too. Keith Butler
#893 God does not play
favorites. It’s God’s will for you to be healed. Period. You saw it happen in
Jesus’ ministry, when He was surrounded by multitudes of people, and He “healed
them all” (Luke 6:17-19, KJV). Gloria Copeland
#894 God said, “I will
take sickness away from the midst of thee...the number of thy days I will
fulfil” (Exodus 23:25-26, KJV). He says in Psalm 91:16, “With long life
will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation” (KJV). Gloria Copeland
#895 God has always
provided healing for the obedient. Psalms 103:2-3 (KJV) says, “Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine
iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” Many have forgotten God’s benefit of
healing for their bodies. Gloria Copeland
#896 If you had been
taught that it is God’s will to heal you in the same way that you were taught
that it is God’s will for you to be saved, you would have a different attitude
toward sickness. You are “born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23, KJV). You
are healed the same way—by the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. Gloria
Copeland
#897 Renew your mind to
this truth by planting the Word in your heart. See that Jesus bore your
sicknesses and carried your diseases at the same time and in the same manner
that He bore your sins. Plant the Word in your heart today and believe it: God
wants you well! Gloria Copeland
#898 The Apostle Paul
wrote, “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God,
which is in thee by the laying on of my hands” (2 Timothy 1:6, KJV). Notice,
Paul didn’t say to pray and get God to stir you up. He said, “You stir yourself
up.” Kenneth Copeland
#899 So many Christians
desire to operate in the gifts of the Spirit these days because they’re
responding to the stirring of God’s gifts within them. They sense the Church
shouldn’t just be reading about the manifestations of the Spirit in the Bible,
but rather, Christians should be walking in them! Kenneth Copeland
#900 So, how can we make
that happen? Paul answers that question himself. Right after he tells us to
earnestly covet the best spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31), he says, “…and
yet show I unto you a more excellent way” (KJV). Then, he writes an
entire chapter—on the subject of love. Kenneth Copeland
#901 “Pursue love, and
desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1, NKJV). According to the
Bible, a more excellent way to walk in the power of God is to pursue love.
Walking in love is the best way for the world to see Jesus through us. Kenneth
Copeland
#902 Acts 10:38 (KJV) tells
us, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who
went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” If
we’re going to do the works Jesus did, we need to do the same thing, right?
Then, we’ll bring healing and deliverance to those who are oppressed. Kenneth
Copeland
#903 Love destroys the
devil’s hold. It undermines his whole operation! Not only that, but love also
connects us to the oppression-destroying power of God. That power operates by
faith, and faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). God is Love (1 John 4:8). So,
stir up the gift of love within you! Kenneth Copeland
#904 Have you ever looked
at what you have in light of your need and felt discouraged? Here’s good news:
You may not have all you need, but you have something…and that’s not
nothing. It’s a great place to start. Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#905 In John 6, a
multitude of 5,000 were being taught by Jesus. They got hungry and wanted something—anything—to
eat. Jesus’ disciples tried to help but came up short. They only found a young
boy who had five measly loaves and two fish. Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#906 That food wasn’t
nearly enough for 5,000 people. The disciples became desperate. They could only
see what they had—five loaves and two fish—in light of what they needed: to
feed 5,000 hungry people! Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#907 But Jesus wasn’t
deterred. He took the food and gave thanks for it. After Jesus gave thanks for
the little He had, the miracle came. Not only were all 5,000 people fed, but
there were 12 baskets of food left over! Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#908 Instead of focusing
on your need, focus on what you have in hand. It may seem small to you, but
it’s a gift from God. Be thankful for it. You serve a big God who’s more than
able to bless it, break it and multiply it for you! Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#909 When you release your
faith to God, He can then respond with a miracle. Richard Roberts
#910 So many people don’t
want to go the distance with God. They want to stay within their own limited
belief system. They say, “God, I can believe You this far, but that’s as far as
I can go.” Richard Roberts
#911 That’s where Peter
was in Luke 5. When Jesus told him to sail out into the Sea of Galilee and let
down his nets, Peter thought, I’ll take out only one net to humor him. He
was in for a surprise! Richard Roberts
#912 He sailed out and
threw one net overboard. Suddenly, he felt a tug on his shoulders. Fish had hit
his net. Peter experienced a net-breaking, boat-sinking miracle! What would
have happened if he would have had faith to put down more than one net like
Jesus said? Richard Roberts
#913 When you pray for
your own miracle, release your faith. If you pray for others’ miracles, then
first teach them how to release their faith and believe God for themselves. You
are the vessel, the conduit, through which God can move. You don’t have healing
power, but you’re hooked up to the One who does. Richard Roberts
#914 God can use you to
bring about a miracle. Never be intimidated to release your faith for a
miracle! Richard Roberts
#915 Third John 2 (KJV)
says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth.” That single verse speaks to prosperity
for our spirit, soul and body. But what is prosperity? George Pearsons
#916 Kenneth Copeland
says, “True prosperity is the ability to use the power of God to meet the needs
of mankind in every realm of life—spirit, soul, body, financially and
socially.” Meeting the needs of mankind—that’s what it’s all about. George
Pearsons
#917 Sure, it’s wonderful
to be blessed, to drive a nice car and have a good home, but the fullness of
prosperity is when it comes through us and goes into other people’s lives.
George Pearsons
#918 Not long ago, I ate
lunch with a large group of people, and the bill came to $130. I added a $100
tip. When the waitress saw it, she returned to give thanks. It meant so much to
her, and her thankfulness brought tears to my eyes. George Pearsons
#919 Our motivation for
accumulation is distribution. We are distributors not only of the Word of God,
but also of what it has produced in our lives. God isn’t prospering us so we
can get deeper into debt. He’s prospering us so we can bless others. That’s
prosperity in action. George Pearsons
#920 As Brother Copeland
says, “A man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things he possesses,
but in the abundance of the things that he sows.” That’s the heart of
prosperity. George Pearsons
#921 First Corinthians
14:1 (AMPC) says, “Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire [this] love [make
it your aim, your great quest].” Walking in love should be our quest. A quest
is a lifelong dream. It’s anything that dominates your life and holds your
attention. We should make the decision to walk in love continually—whether
anybody else does or not. Mark Hankins
#922 Here’s how to walk in
God’s love. First, forgive. When you see how much God loves you, you can
forgive yourself and others. When you do, you release past hurts, sins and
disappointments. Be quick to repent, quick to forgive and quick to believe!
Mark Hankins
#923 Next, meditate on
God’s love. Affirm it aloud. Use your imagination to see yourself, others
and situations you’re facing in the light of God’s love. James 1:25 (NLT) says,
“But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you
do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for
doing it.” Mark Hankins
#924 Finally, pray in the
Spirit. “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God” (Jude
20-21, KJV). The tongue must be continually yielded to the power of the
Holy Spirit who gives us power to overcome. Mark Hankins
#925 Faith works by love
and when you walk in love, you’ll see the worst people and situations turn
around. Make love your quest this year and find favor, promotion and heaven on
earth! Mark Hankins
#926 Every moment of your
life is infallible proof of God’s love and work. Now is the time to receive His
full power and start walking in all He has for you. Don’t be ashamed. Now is
the time to live supernaturally. It’s time to live what you believe! Mark
Hankins
#927 Do you see yourself
as God sees you? That’s a question I ask teenagers every time I speak in
a school. I ask it for one simple reason: Years ago, the Holy Spirit led me to
do so. Dean Sikes
#928 The Holy Spirit took
me to the book of Judges and instructed me to read about the life of Gideon.
God saw Gideon’s potential as a great leader long before Gideon recognized it.
“The Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you,
you mighty man of valor!’” (Judges 6:12, NKJV). Dean Sikes
#929 The situation is no
different for you or anyone in this generation of young leaders I meet every
week on the road. The potential you have is already deposited in your heart. You
are wired for greatness. Dean Sikes
#930 Here’s the deal
though: The charge to you is the same one that Gideon received. When you look
in the mirror, you’re going to have to see and believe what God sees and
what God believes. When you do, that’s when you’ll be able to do all
you’re called to do for Him. Dean Sikes
#931 Here’s something I’m
learning after decades of working for God: 1) He knows exactly who He
wants to carry out His plan, 2) He knows exactly what He wants
accomplished, and 3) He knows when He wants to accomplish it. Our
responsibility? To trust and obey. Dean Sikes
#932 Get to know who you
are in Him because you’re wired for greatness. That’s why you matter. Dean
Sikes
#933 Using the simile that
faith is like a mustard seed, I would first like to say that it must be used.
Faith that is not used is faith that dies and becomes unfruitful. So if we want
a vibrant faith that will grow, we must use it. And like a mustard seed, it
will produce a variety of products. And when we use it, it grows! Author

#934 Faith must always
start with the Word of God. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Well,
that happens by getting into God’s Word and gaining insight to His will. As you
study and meditate on what the Word says about finances, healing, or anything
else, faith will begin to arise in your spirit and then you can put it to work
for you! Author Unknown
#935 Everyone wants
results—the kind of results you can see in your own life. But your eyes must be
open to see those results BEFORE they show up—that is having faith in both God
and in yourself. Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#936 Without love, your
faith won’t work right. You will sow much but reap little because the weeds of
offense are crowding out the good seed.
#937 Love is the master
key that unlocks all other doors. 1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now abide faith,
hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
#938 Hope is the blueprint
of faith. Kenneth Copeland
#939 “Most people don’t
lose their blessing because of a lack of faith. They lose their blessing
because of a lack of patience.” Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#940 I love how Paul
starts out with God is able in Ephesians 3:20-21. And then he adds, “God is
able to do.” Then he continues to add more! “God is able to do exceeding.” “God
is able to do exceeding abundantly.” “God is able to do exceeding abundantly above.”
“God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all.” “God is able to do
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask.” “God is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think.” And then he gives the requirement:
“God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according
to the power that worketh in us!” Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#941 Throughout the Bible,
Jesus said, “Only Believe!” The sky is not the limit, our belief system is.
Joel Osteen said, “Faith and fear have something in common: they both ask us to
believe in something we cannot see.” Why not believe that God is working behind
the scenes to produce in your life the dreams you see in your heart?! Terri
Savelle Foy

Fear Is having faith in the lies of the devil. Our faith is in the truth of
God’s Word. Doc Murphy
#961
Your faith is the key that opens the door to receiving every promise God made
in His Word. Jerry Savelle
#962

in abundance. Joel Osteen
#965
Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions. Joel Osteen
#966
God didn’t make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God
sees you. Joel Osteen
#967
God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your
court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous
and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you
must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
Joel Osteen
#968
It’s in the difficult times that we are growing and you just can’t rebuke
everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and
pass the test. Joel Osteen
#969
I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged –
‘There’s nothing good in my future’ – I really believe it almost ties the hands
of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all
about hope. Joel Osteen
#970
When we step out in faith and use the talents He’s given us, we show that we
trust God, that we believe He will bless our actions and cause us to succeed.
Victoria Osteen
#971
As you keep your mind and heart focused in the right direction, approaching
each day with faith and gratitude, I believe you will be empowered to live life
to the fullest and enjoy the abundant life He has promised you! Victoria Osteen

and what you believe. T.D. Jakes

Delay does not mean denial. T.D. Jakes
#975
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life
right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if
you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory
over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today! Joyce Meyer
#976
We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go
through trials and tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith. Joyce
Meyer
#977
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Fear comes by hearing and
a hearing by the word of the devil—the lies of Satan. Kenneth Copeland
#978
Water your heart with the dew of faith! Jesse Duplantis
#979
Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It’s impossible to
simultaneously trust God and not trust God. Charles Stanley
#980
Faith is the substance of hope – of things hoped for and the evidence of things
not seen. So if you can hope for it and imagine it, and keep imagining and
hoping and seeing yourself driving a new car, or seeing yourself getting that
job, or seeing yourself excel, seeing yourself help that person – that is
faith. Duane Chapman
#981
The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity,
faith, love and loyalty. Zig Ziglar

impossibilities, and cries it shall be done. Charles Wesley

inner peace. Denzel Washington

faith. According to the seed sown will be the harvest. Ellen G. White

Obedience is an act of faith; disobedience is the result of unbelief. Edwin
Louis Cole
#993
Patience and diligence, like faith, remove mountains. William Penn
#994
There are many talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they
over thought it, or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap
of faith. James Cameron
#995 I had my battles. I
had my times of just being upset and God would show me, “Hey, I’m right here,
I’ll walk you through this and it doesn’t make sense now but just trust me”.
That’s where faith comes in – trust. Jeremy Camp

your faith and not your doubt. Wayne Dyer
#1006 Faith is the bird
that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. Rabindranath Tagore
#1007 As your faith is
strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of
control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them,
to your great delight and benefit. Emmanuel Teney

Your future is as bright as the promises of God!
#1009
There are two important elements of
faith: God’s Word that brings faith and your word that lets it go. Gloria
Copeland
#1010 You can’t overdose
on God’s medicine. In fact, the more Word you take, the stronger you become.

with our words of faith. George Pearsons

state of God’s open hand. George Pearsons
#1025 I believe if you
keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re
grateful you’ll see God open up new doors. Joel Osteen
#1026 Expect good things.
Expect them. Get your “Expectors” out of the back of the closet, dust them off
and start expecting good things in your life. Joyce Meyer
#1027 No matter what looks
impossible, the favor of God is capable of making it happen. Jerry Savelle
#1028 An unlimited God can
only be limited by His own people. Jerry Savelle

be your choice, but the outcome is. Jerry Savelle
#1030 The favor of God is
notorious for changing things that are impossible. Jerry Savelle
#1031 This is the year of
the open hand of God – supernatural, extraordinary, unusual provision. If you
don’t expect God to do something, you are not in faith. If you obey what you
heard, you will have prosperity (Job 36:11). Jerry Savelle
#1032 God is releasing
uncommon favor and supernatural provision for you! Be blessed. Dr. Coy Barker
#1033 Abundance and a
double portion are your inheritance. I declare it now! Paula White-Cain

shall overtake you.

exceed your expectations.
#1047 Sometimes your only
available transportation is a leap of faith. Margaret Shepard
#1048 The joy of the Lord
is our strength. This joy can override any stress or anxiety we may have been
feeling. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and bubbles up from inside us. Today
we can experience that joy. We need only to pray and ask the Lord to experience
it. It is not happiness, which is based on what is happening. It does not need
any outward occurrence to be present. I pray that you will walk in the joy of
the Lord today. Joy Foster
#1049 Jesus is Lord … over
death, over disease, over Satan, over sin. Robert Bowman
#1050 Faith contains
substance (spiritual substance, a “knowing”). Benny Hinn

evidence (the manifestation of your faith). Benny Hinn

you obtain the promise. You receive and walk in what you are believing for.
Benny Hinn

understanding (revelation). Benny Hinn
#1054 If you have faith
you will give to God. Benny Hinn
#1055 Faith translates us
from one place to another (produces change). Benny Hinn

please God without faith. Benny Hinn
#1057 There is common

#1058 There is weak faith
(limits God’s benefits) – Romans 4:19. Benny Hinn
#1059 There is strong
faith (refuses to be defeated, does not take “no” for an answer) – Romans 4:20.
Benny Hinn
#1060 There is little
faith (wavering faith, too many “ifs” in prayer, doubt and unbelief) – Matthew
6:30, 8:26. Benny Hinn
#1061 There is great faith
(moves God to answer prayer) – Matthew 8:10, 15:28. Benny Hinn
#1062 There is unfeigned
faith (no hypocrisy, being real and transparent) – 1 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 1:5
Benny Hinn
#1063 There is temporary
faith (one who believes for a while and then begins to doubt; go in and out of
faith; faith is inconsistent) – Luke 8:13. Benny Hinn

faith (does not act on the Word; has faith in their mind but lacks taking

faith (develops into a mighty living force; a faith that grows slowly and
steadily) – James 2:14-26; Hebrews 10:19-38. Benny Hinn

a miracle! Benny Hinn
#1095 Know who you are in
Christ, and the authority you have as a believer. You are an overcomer. Kenneth

that you lack nothing. George Pearsons
#1097 The Holy Spirit
gives you power to live an abundant life today. Kenneth Copeland
#1098 Jesus paid for
salvation for every man, woman, boy, and girl who would ever live on this
earth. But people must believe on Jesus and receive Him as their own Savior
before salvation can benefit them. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1099 Central Truth:
Prayer is successful only when it is based on the promises in God’s Word!
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1100 Do not have any
anxiety about anything. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1101 You are what you
read. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1102 Our confession will
either imprison us or set us free. Our confession is the result of our
believing, and our believing is the result of our right or wrong thinking.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1103 People must act like
the Scriptures are true. If they don’t act like the Word is true, they are
walking by what their senses are telling them and not by what the Bible says.
That’s what is throwing them off. They’re missing the faith realm entirely,
which is based on what the Word says, not on what they see or feel. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1104 Healing belongs to
you. It belongs to you because sickness is of the enemy. It belongs to you
because you are a spiritual child of Abraham. It belongs to you because
sickness is a curse, and Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1105 When you know the
Word of God, it will change you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1106 Sometimes we have to
unlearn things before we can learn the right things. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1107 Do what God says do.
Endeavor to be faithful, no matter what happens or what comes. And leave the
results to God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1108 How little wives may
realize that a biting, stinging word in the morning will rob a husband of
efficiency the whole day long. But a loving, tender, beautiful word—a little
prayer word—will fill him with music and will lead him into victory. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1109 Whatever God has
called you to do— whatever He’s gifted and endued you by the Holy Spirit to
accomplish—He hasn’t changed His mind about it. One day you will have to give
an account of what you did with that calling. Obedience to God’s call will bring
blessing and satisfaction to your life. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1110 What does
“righteousness” mean? First of all, it means right standing with God. Nobody
has any better standing with God than you do. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1111 Doubt is from the
devil. You have to resist doubts and rebuke them. You have to get your mind on
the answer — on God’s Word. In order to receive answers to your prayers, you
must eradicate every image, suggestion, vision, dream, impression, feeling, and
all thoughts that do not contribute to your faith and that do not affirm that
you have what you have asked God for. The word “eradicate” means to uproot or
remove. Remember, Satan moves in the sense realm, in the natural realm, and he
uses the tool of suggestion. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1112 You Are Righteous!
“For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1113 God’s Word says that
you have your answer if you based your petition on the Word and believed you
received it when you prayed. When you believe you receive your answer before
you see it manifested, you are appropriating God’s Word by faith. It’s that
kind of faith that moves God! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1114 People keep on
struggling when it comes to prayer and faith because they don’t actually
believe what the Word says. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1115 Step number four to
receiving answered prayer is guard against every evil thought that comes into
your mind to try to make you doubt God’s Word. Thoughts are governed by
observation, association, and teaching. So this step is closely associated. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#1116 Years ago on the
flyleaf of my Bible I wrote in red ink, “The Bible says it, I believe it, and
that settles it for me. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1117 Faith changes hope
into reality. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1118 Our confession will
either imprison us or set us free. Our confession is the result of our
believing, and our believing is the result of our right or wrong thinking.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1119 Thinking faith
thoughts, and speaking faith words, will lead the heart out of defeat and into
victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1120 Success is always
the result of following the leading of the Holy Spirit. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1121 Believe it in your
heart, say it with your mouth. That is the principle of faith. You can have
what you say. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1122 God is glorified
through healing and deliverance, not through sickness and suffering. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1123 Feeling is the voice
of the body; reasoning is the voice of the mind; conscience is the voice of the
Spirit. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1124 Jesus, in His earth
walk, was the will of God in action. If you want to know what God thinks about
sickness – look at Jesus! He went about healing the sick! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1125 Stay put in the hard
places, and you’ll eventually rest upon the mountaintop. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1126 Praying in tongues
charges your spirit like a battery charger charges a battery. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#1127 The Bible, from
Genesis to Revelation, is God’s “I will” to every seeker for full salvation of
spirit, soul and body. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1128 Believers should
never deal with doubts and fears because they are the devil’s narcotics.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1129 If what you hear
preached doesn’t cause faith to come and build faith in your spirit, then it
either isn’t the Word of God or else you’re not hearing it. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#1130 Yes, sin, sickness
and disease, spiritual death, poverty and everything else that’s of the devil
once ruled us. But now, bless God, we rule them – for this is the Day of
Dominion! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1131 Thoughts may come
and persist in staying. But thoughts that are not put into word or action die
unborn! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1132 God wants us to
prosper. Our need, however, is to evaluate things as they should be evaluated –
to esteem earthly things lightly – to put first things first. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#1133 When God moves,
everybody will be blessed. If something is of the flesh, everybody will have a
sick feeling. And if something is of the devil, it seems like the hair will
stand up on your neck. That’s a simple way everyone can judge, whether they’ve
got any spiritual discernment or not. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1134 If you stand by the
Word, God will stand by you and will make His Word good in your life. But if
you don’t stand on God’s Word, then He has nothing to make good in your life.
Many folks pray and pray and pray, but they don’t pray according to the Word.
But John 15:7 says, “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1135 For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The Spirit Himself bears
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, then
heirs; heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. Romans 8:14, 16-17 Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1136 Our combat with the
devil always should be with the consciousness that we have authority over him
because he is a defeated foe – the Lord Jesus Christ defeated him for us.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1137 The mature believer
is God-conscious, and ever conscious of what God’s Word says about him and to
him. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1138 Step number one to
receiving answered prayer is decide what you want from God and find the
Scripture or Scriptures that definitely promise you these things. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1139 Be careful (anxious)
for nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication (petition) with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6 Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#1140 If you do not get
your mind renewed by these Bible facts - even though you are born again, filled
with the Holy Spirit, and speak with tongues – you will remain a negative
person and miss the blessings of God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1141 Satan is the
Destroyer. Jesus is the Deliverer. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1142 Confession: I
believe in my heart Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised
from the dead for my justification. I confess Him as my Lord and Savior. Jesus
is my Lord. He is dominating my life. He is guiding me. He is leading me. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#1143 God’s Word says that
you have your answer if you based your petition on the Word and believed you
received it when you prayed. When you believe you receive your answer before
you see it manifested, you are appropriating God’s Word by faith. It’s that
kind of faith that moves God! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1144 Many times we’re
cheated out of the blessings God wants us to have in this life because we’re
not cooperating with Him. Instead of praying again for Sister Gray’s healing,
the congregation should have raised their hands and thanked God that she had
been healed. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1145 If you don’t stand
by the Word, although God wants to stand by you, He can’t because the only way
God works is through His Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1146 Healing belongs to
you. It belongs to you because sickness is of the enemy. It belongs to you
because you are a spiritual child of Abraham. It belongs to you because
sickness is a curse, and Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1147 When you know the
Word of God, it will change you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1148 Step number three to
receiving answered prayer is let every thought and desire affirm that you have
what you asked for. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1149 The Bible is a legal
document, sealed by the Blood of Jesus. However, it is your believing it and
your confessing it which makes it a reality to you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1150 Satan can move in
the supernatural realm, too, because he is a spirit being as is God. You’ve got
to be able to know whether a vision, dream, impression or suggestion is from
God or Satan. Those suggestions that do not line up with the Word are of the
devil. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1151 Step number six to
receiving answered prayer is in your every waking moment, think on the
greatness of God and His goodness, and count your blessings. This will increase
your faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1152 Make this confession
out loud: “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1153 What we believe is a
result of our thinking. If we think wrong, we will believe wrong. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1154 Step number seven to
receiving answered prayer is to make every prayer relative to what you’ve asked
a statement of faith instead of unbelief. You can think and say words of faith
just as easily as you can think and say words of doubt and unbelief. It is
thinking faith thoughts and speaking faith words that leads the heart out of
defeat and into victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1155 We receive the
authority of Christ when we are born again. We are made new creatures in Christ
Jesus, we inherit the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we can use it in
prayer against the enemy. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1156 Hope says, “I’ll get
healed sometime.” Heart faith says, “It’s mine now”. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1157 God, my Heavenly
Father, does not have any favorite children. He loves every one of us with the
same love. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1158 Do what God says do.
Endeavor to be faithful, no matter what happens or what comes. And leave the
results to God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1159 If you’ll simply
step out and do what He’s called you to do – whether it’s to proclaim His Word,
or to assist others through the ministry of helps – you’ll find yourself
walking into the blessings of God and a greater fulfillment in your life than you
ever dreamed possible. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1160 When the Word gains
entrance into your heart, into your spirit, faith will be there automatically.
You won’t have to seek. You won’t have to search. There will be no effort on
your part. Faith will come unconsciously into your spirit as you feed upon and
accept His words. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1161 You are Righteous!
“For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in Him.” – 2 Corinthians 5:21 Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1162 Whatever God has
called you to do – whatever He’s gifted and endued you by the Holy Spirit to
accomplish – He hasn’t changed His mind about it. One day you will have to give
an account of what you did with that calling. Obedience to God’s call will
bring blessing and satisfaction to your life. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1163 If God’s Word says
He hears and answers prayer, and if that Word doesn’t depart from before your
eyes, then you’re bound to see yourself with the things you asked for. If you
don’t see yourself with the things you desire, then God’s Word has departed
from before your eyes. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1164 Step number four to
receiving answered prayer is to guard against every evil thought that comes
into your mind to try to make you doubt God’s Word. Thoughts are governed by
observation, association and teaching. So this step is closely associated. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#1165 Know the facts of
God’s Word – what belongs to you and who you are in Him. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1166 To me, when I read
the Bible, it’s God’s Word. I believe it. That settles it. And that’s the end
of it. There’s no use in discussing it. Because the Bible says so, His words
are health. They are medicine to all my flesh. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1167 Sometimes we have to
unlearn things before we can learn the right things. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1168 Like Dad Nelson
said, “The time will come that you will need faith, either for yourself, or for
some member of your family. And if you haven’t kept your faith strong, you’ll
be at a disadvantage.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1169 You are what you
read. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1170 How does God look on
us? He looks on us as though we had never done anything wrong. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1171 If you remain in Me,
and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you.
John 15:7
#1172 May the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
#1173 See what great love
the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John
3:1
#1174 Who Himself bore our
sins in His own body on the Tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for
righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 1 Peter 2:24
#1175 Be still and know
that I am God. Psalms 46:10
#1176 No weapon that is
formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that accuses you in judgment
you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their
vindication is from Me. Isaiah 54:17
#1177 Let us hold fast the
profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised.
Hebrews 10:23
#1178 The Lord will grant
you abundant prosperity. Deuteronomy 28:11
#1179 And be not conformed
to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you might
prove what is that good, and perfect, and acceptable will of God. Romans 12:2
#1180 Before I formed you
in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart as a prophet to
the nations. Jeremiah 1:5
#1181 Wait on the Lord: be
of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalms 27:14
#1182
Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full! John 16:24
#1183
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you. John 15:7
#1184
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 14:14
#1185
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Luke 11:9-10
#1186
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and
doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if
ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the
sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:21-22
#1187
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your
Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do
not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your
trespasses. Mark 11:25-26
#1188
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that
ask him? Matthew 7:11
#1189
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how
much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Luke 11:13
#1190
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall
have whatsoever he saith. Therefore, I say unto you, What things soever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:23-24
#1191
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and
therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak. 2 Corinthians
4:13
#1192
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Hebrews 11:7
#1193
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of
God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of
Christ of greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto
the recompense of the reward. Hebrews 11:24-26
#1194
Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was
delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who
had promised. Hebrews 11:11
#1195
(As it is written, I have made thee (Abraham) a father of many nations,) before
Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those
things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope,
that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was
spoken, so shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not
his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the
deadness of Sarah's womb. He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully
persuaded that, what God had promised, He was able also to perform. And
therefore, it was imputed to him for righteousness. Romans 4:17-22
#1196
The thief (devil) comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I (Jesus)
came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full,
till it overflows) AMP. John 10:10
#1197
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospers. 3 John 2
#1198
Fear will hinder your faith unless you take charge over your fears and do it
afraid. The love of God will conquer fear. There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is
not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
#1199
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of
peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (NKJV). Jeremiah 29:11
#1200
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:5
#1201
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the
synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. Mark 5:36
#1202
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou
goest. Joshua 1:9
#1203
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou
king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by
reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. 2
Chronicles 20:15
#1204
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and
see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be
dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 2
Chronicles 20:17
#1205
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto
Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the
Lord of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt
become a level plain. Zechariah 4:6-7
#1206
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord
thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalms 27:14

Lord. Psalms 31:24

up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
#1210
The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and
strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of
water, whose waters do not fail. Isaiah 58:11 NKJV

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it
to pass. Psalms 37:4-5

#1214
The meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance
of peace. Psalms 37:11
#1215
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the
land. Psalms 37:34
#1216
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in
Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the
courts of our God. They shall still
bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. To show that
the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Psalms 92:12-15

Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38
#1218 For Barnabas was a good man,
and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the
Lord. Acts 11:24

world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
#1220 Being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the
day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
#1221 But my God shall supply all
your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
#1222 Give, and it shall be given
unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38

them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover. Mark 16:17-18
#1225 For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
#1226 And the scripture was
fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for
righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. James 2:23
#1227 But the wisdom that is from
above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of
mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17
#1228 But the fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
#1229 (For the fruit of the Spirit
is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable
unto the Lord. Ephesians 5:9-10
#1230 Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ. According as he hath chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace. Ephesians 1:3-7
#1231 [For I always pray to] the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a
spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the
[deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, by having the eyes of your heart flooded
with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called
you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart
ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and
unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as
demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength. Ephesians 1:17-19 AMP
#1232 That Christ may dwell in
your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able
to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and
height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might
be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19
#1233 Now unto Him that is able to
do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us. Ephesians 3:20
#1234 Even when we were dead in
sins, hath He quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:5-6
#1235 And the Lord shall make thee
the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be
beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which
I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. Deuteronomy 28:13
#1236 Thus saith the Lord, the
Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons,
and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. Isaiah 45:11
#1237 The Lord hath appeared of
old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore
with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt
be rebuilt. Jeremiah 31:3-4
#1238 For I will restore health
unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they
called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
Jeremiah 30:17
#1239 And I will restore to you
the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and
the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in
plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath
dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. Joel 2:25-26
#1240 The wilderness and the
solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and
blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and
singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel
and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our
God. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them
that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come
with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Then the
eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for
in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the
parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.
Isaiah 35:1-7
#1241 And all thy children shall
be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Isaiah
54:13
#1242 No longer will they call you
Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and
your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be
married. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over
you. And you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted. Isaiah
62:4-5, 12 NIV.
#1243 With men this is impossible;
but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
#1244 And, behold, thy cousin
Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth
month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be
impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according
to thy word. And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:36-38
#1245 And he said, the things
which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luke 18:27
#1246 Jesus said unto him, If thou
canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23
#1247 Seeing then that we have a
great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let
us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:14-16
#1248 Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of
the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
#1249 Now thanks be unto
God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savor of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14
#1250 And God is able to make all
grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you
may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient
[possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for
every good work and charitable donation]. 2 Corinthians 9:8 AMP
#1251 And [God] Who provides seed
for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your
[resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which
manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity]. [Isaiah 55:10;
Hosea 10:12.] Thus, you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so
that you can be generous, and [your generosity as it is] administered by us
will bring forth thanksgiving to God. 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 AMP
#1252 Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not
destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit
before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall
call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 3:10-12
#1253 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only
do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And
all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Matthew 21:21-22
#1254 And a certain woman, which
had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many
physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but
rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in
her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in
himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and
said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the
multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round
about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling,
knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all
the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go
in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5:25-34
#1255 And the Lord said, If ye had
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou
plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 17:6
#1256 And he said unto him, Arise,
go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. Luke 17:19
#1257 And Jesus said unto him,
Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his
sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it,
gave praise unto God. Luke 18:42-43
#1258 And the Lord said, Simon,
Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32
#1259 And Stephen, full of faith
and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. Acts 6:8
#1260 And there sat a certain man
at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who
never had walked. The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, Stand
upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. Acts 14:8-10
#1261 For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just
shall live by faith. Romans 1:17
#1262 And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. That I may know him, and
the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death, if by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3:9-11
#1263 But what saith it? The word
is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith,
which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:8-10
#1264 So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17
#1265 For I say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more
highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath
dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:3
#1266 That your faith should not
stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5
#1267 But the manifestation of the
Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the
Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the
same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to
another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another
the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame
Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
#1268 Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass
or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand
all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could
remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not
love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not
seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 NKJV
#1269 And now abide faith, hope,
love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV
#1270 For we walk by faith, not by
sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
#1271 Therefore know that only
those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that
God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham
beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those
who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. Galatians 3:7-9 NKJV
#1272 For by grace you have been
saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of
works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in
them. Ephesians 2:8-10 NKJV
#1273 In whom we have boldness and
access with confidence through faith in Him. Ephesians 3:12 NKJV
#1274 Above all, taking the shield
of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked one. Ephesians 6:16 NKJV
#1275 We are bound to thank God
always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows
exceedingly. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 NKJV
#1276 Fight the good fight of
faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have
confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12
NKJV
#1277 I have fought the good
fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid
up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will
give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His
appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV
#1278 For indeed the gospel was
preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit
them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. Hebrews 4:2 NKJV
#1279 That you do not become
sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the
promises. Hebrews 6:12 NKJV
#1280 Let us draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the
confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:22-23 NKJV
#1281 Now the just shall live by
faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:38
NKJV
#1282 By faith Abel offered to God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he
was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still
speaks. Hebrews 11:4 NKJV
#1283 By faith Enoch was taken
away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken
him; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:5-6 NKJV
#1284 By faith Noah, being
divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark
for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became
heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Hebrews 11:7 NKJV
#1285 By faith Abraham obeyed when
he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance.
And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land
of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the
heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has
foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 11:8-10 NKJV
#1286 These all died in faith, not
having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of
them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the
earth. Hebrews 11:13 NKJV
#1287 My brethren, count it all
joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith
produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be
perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4 NKJV
#1288 If any of you lacks wisdom,
let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it
will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who
doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not
that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a
double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:5-8 NKJV
#1289 You see then that a man is
justified by works, and not by faith only. James 2:24 NKJV
#1290 Is anyone among you
suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone
among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of
faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has
committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another,
and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer
of a righteous man avails much. James 5:13-17 NKJV
#1291 In this you greatly rejoice,
though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various
trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold
that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and
glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though
now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable
(inexpressible) and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith — the
salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:6-9 NKJV
#1292 But also for this very
reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to
knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance
godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For
if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is
shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from
his old sins. 2 Peter 1:5-9 NKJV
#1293 For whatever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our
faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the
Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5 NKJV
#1294 Beloved, while I was very
diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary
to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once
for all delivered to the saints. Jude 3 NKJV
#1295 But you, beloved, building
yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep
yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
unto eternal life. Jude 20-21 NKJV
#1296 Let us therefore fear, lest,
a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to
come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them:
but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them
that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I
have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works
were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place
of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his
works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing
therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was
first preached entered not in because of unbelief. Again, he limiteth a certain
day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye
will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth
therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he
also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labor
therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of
unbelief. Hebrews 4:1-11
#1297 For the Word of God is
quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
#1298 Seeing then that we have a
great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let
us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:14-16
#1299 For when for the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and
not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of
righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of
full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:12-14
#1300 This hope we have as an
anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence
behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having
become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews
6:19-20 NKJV
#1301 And when he was come into
the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye
that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their
eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. Matthew 9:28-29
#1302 Jesus said unto him, If thou
canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway
the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help
thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:23-24
#1303 But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name. John 1:12
#1304 And they said, Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31
#1305 And what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his
mighty power. Ephesians 1:19
#1306 And he did not many mighty
works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:58
#1307 Take heed, brethren, lest
there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living
God. Hebrews 3:12
#1308 For the joy of the Lord is
your strength. Nehemiah 8:10
#1309 And not only so, but we
glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and
patience, experience; and experience, hope. And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is
given unto us. Romans 5:3-5
#1310 And He (Jesus) Himself existed before all things, and
in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together) = Colossians 1:17 AMP
#1311 How then shall they call on
him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom
they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall
they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet
of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:14-15
#1312 Faith stands on the promises
of God and declares the end result.
#1313 Faith sees into the future
and gets a glimpse of the glorious plans God has for them.
#1314 Faith is always optimistic,
positive and never negative.
#1315 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ. Ephesians 4:11-12
#1316 And blessed is she
who has believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were
told her from the Lord. Luke 1:45
#1317 And I shall not go
aside from any of the words which the Lord commands me this day, to the right
hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. Deuteronomy 28:14
#1318 And may the God of
peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane
things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and
soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 1 Thessalonians 5:23 AMP
#1319 And may the Lord
make you to increase and excel and overflow in love for one another and for all
people, just as we also do for you. 1 Thessalonians 3:12 AMP
#1320 And not only so, but
we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received
the Atonement. Romans 5:11
#1321 And the Lord shall
make me plenteous in goods, in the fruit of my body, and in the fruit of my
cattle, and in the fruit of my ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto my
fathers to give me. Deuteronomy 28:11
#1322 Thy wife shall be as
a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants
round about thy table. Psalms 128:3
#1323 As I refresh others,
I am refreshed. Proverbs 11:25
#1324 Be diligent to
present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of Truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 NKJV
#1325 But my delight is in
the law of the Lord; and in his law do I meditate day and night. And I shall be
like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth my fruit in its
season; my leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever I doeth shall prosper.
Psalms 1:2-3
#1326 But unto every one
of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians
4:7
#1327 Do not neglect the
gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly
imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders
laid their hands upon you [at your ordination]. 1 Timothy 4:14 AMP
#1328 Everything that I am
hoping for is located behind the Veil in the Holy of Holies. Hebrews 6:19
#1329 Faithful is he that
calleth me, who also will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24
#1330 For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14
#1331 For I am the Lord: I
will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no
more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and
will perform it, saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 12:25
#1332 For I have need of
patience, that, after I have done the will of God, I might receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:36
#1333 For in Him the whole
fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving
complete expression of the divine nature]. And you are in Him, made full and
having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead
— Father, Son and Holy Spirit — and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is
the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
Colossians 2:9-10 AMP
#1334 For it has pleased
[the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine
perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him (Jesus) permanently.
Colossians 1:19 AMP
#1335 For my shame I shall
have double; and for confusion I shall rejoice in my portion; therefore, in my
land I shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto me. For the Lord
loves justice. Isaiah 61:7-8a
#1336 For the promise is
unto me, and to my children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:39
#1337 For the wages of sin
is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
#1338 For through Jesus we
both (Jews and Gentiles) have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Ephesians
2:18
#1339 For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness
with our spirit, that we are the children of God. Romans 8:15-16
#1340 For you are all sons
of light and sons of the day; we do not belong either to the night or to
darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 AMP
#1341 For you were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light. (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth.) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10
#1342 God is not a man
that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should change His mind. Has He
said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Numbers 23:19

with me, and His Covenant lasts forever. “Know, therefore, that the Lord thy

loves him and keeps his commandments to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:9

rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

are YES and AMEN! 2 Corinthians 1:20

#1622 God has a good plan
for your life. You haven’t missed the boat and you aren’t too late. Joyce Meyer
#1623 God has a perfect
timing for all things, and He will not be rushed, so settle down and enjoy the
wait. Joyce Meyer
#1624 God has a plan for
you and He has heard your prayers; you may not realize how close you are to
your breakthrough. Joyce Meyer
#1625 God has a plan for
you and His plan is much better than yours. So give yourself to Him and see
what happens. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Joyce Meyer
#1626 God is faithful and
He will fulfill every promise. Joyce Meyer
#1627 God is not mad at
you. Joyce Meyer
#1628 God is rarely ever
early, but He is never late according to His timetable. Relax, and believe,
that your times are in His hands. Joyce Meyer
#1629 God is working on my
problems, and I can wait patiently because His timing is perfect. Joyce Meyer
#1630 God wants to heal
you everywhere you hurt. Joyce Meyer
#1631 God works according
to the law of gradual growth. So don’t be discouraged if your progress seems
slow. Joyce Meyer
#1632 God’s plan for your
life is good. When you trust Him completely, you can experience total peace and
happiness. Joyce Meyer
#1633 God’s Word is like
medicine we need for healing. Joyce Meyer
#1634 Grace is the power
of the Holy Spirit coming to us free of charge to enable you to do with ease
what you could never do on your own with any amount of struggle and effort.
Joyce Meyer
#1635 Hope is favorable
and confident expectation. It’s an expectant attitude that something good is
going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re
facing. Joyce Meyer
#1636 If Satan can defeat
you in your thoughts, then he can defeat you anywhere else. Joyce Meyer
#1637 If you can change
your thinking, then you can change your life. Joyce Meyer
#1638 Laughter is vitally
important in the battle against stress, anxiety, fear and worry. Joyce Meyer
#1639 Praise your way to
victory! Joyce Meyer
#1640 Stop living in fear
that you’re always going to do the wrong thing. If God gives you something to
do, He will anoint you to do it. Joyce Meyer
#1641 Thankfulness side
effects may include, but are not limited to the following: more energy, better
sleep, less headaches, increased self-esteem, decreased depression, decreased
anxiety, boost in the immune system, large increase in happiness. Joyce Meyer
#1642 The eagle has no
fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a
conqueror! Joyce Meyer
#1643 The only way to
break the chains of fear and doubt is to know in your heart that God loves you
… no matter what. Joyce Meyer
#1644 The Word of God is
active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword. Joyce Meyer
#1645 The Word of God is
good news. The answer is in the good news (Luke 4:18-19).
#1646 The Word of God,
spoken out loud and in faith, is the most powerful weapon you have against the
enemy (the devil). Joyce Meyer
#1647 There are no
drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time. Joyce Meyer
#1648 There’s no such
thing as microwave maturity. Joyce Meyer
#1649 There is a treasure
in your trial. Joyce Meyer
#1650 There is nothing
that you cannot overcome with God on your side. Joyce Meyer
#1651 To enjoy your life,
you must be at peace with yourself. Joyce Meyer
#1652 To feel fear doesn’t
mean that you’re a coward. Boldness is taking action in the presence of fear –
do it afraid! Joyce Meyer
#1653 To live in God’s
peace, we have to pursue it. Go deeper in your relationship with God and you’ll
have more of His peace in your heart. Joyce Meyer
#1654 Trust and faith
bring joy to life and help relationships grow to their maximum potential. Joyce
Meyer
#1655 Trust Me, I’ve got
this. God. Joyce Meyer
#1656 Trusting God brings
life. Believing brings rest. Joyce Meyer
#1657 Trusting God is
simply believing that He loves you. Joyce Meyer
#1658 Trusting God is the
greatest stress reliever in the world. Joyce Meyer
#1659 Trusting in God is
the key to moving forward into the things God has for us. Joyce Meyer
#1660 Truth: “And we are
confident that He hears us when we ask for anything that pleases Him”, 1 John
5:14. Joyce Meyer
#1661 Truth: I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me. Joyce Meyer
#1662 Two steps forward,
one step back, is still forward progress. Joyce Meyer
#1663 Unforgiveness is
like a poison and a bitterness in your soul. It’s time to get rid of that
poison. Joyce Meyer
#1664 Unity increases
power and commands the Anointing and Blessings of God. Disunity causes faith to
not work right, and your prayers will be hindered.
#1665 We all face storms
in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and
tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith. Joyce Meyer
#1666 We are overcomers
through Him (Jesus) who overcame. Joyce Meyer
#1667 We are to have
genuine, pure, fervent love for others above everything else we do. If we can
manage only one thing in our lives, it should be to love other people. Joyce
Meyer
#1668 We believers do not
have to live a powerless life. We are to live as Christ lived – empowered by
the Holy Spirit. Joyce Meyer
#1669 We can approach
God’s Throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus
accomplished for us at the Cross. Joyce Meyer
#1670 We can be confident
that God is working in us, changing us, and helping us grow through our faith
in Him, so we can fulfill His good plans for our lives. Joyce Meyer
#1671 We can fear things
into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can
happen. Faith calls those things that be not as though they already were, and
has thoughts of faith and positive expectancy.
#1672 We can improve our
relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead
of critics. Joyce Meyer
#1673 We cannot conquer
anything by running away from it or trying to avoid it – we must go through it.
But Jesus will hold our hand tight and walk by our side as we walk through our
valley. Joyce Meyer
#1674 We need to glance at
our problems and stare at Jesus. Joyce Meyer
#1675 When doubt comes
against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our
mouth and say what God’s Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about
the problem. Joyce Meyer
#1676 When fear knocks on
the door, send faith to answer. Joyce Meyer
#1677 When we keep God in
first place, everything else falls into place! Joyce Meyer
#1678 When we lean on God,
we actually enter into His rest and can enjoy our lives, no matter what our
circumstances may be. Joyce Meyer
#1679 When we pray in
faith (and avoid complaining), we open the door for God to come into our
problems and situations and work on them. Joyce Meyer
#1680 When we put our
problem in God’s hands, He puts His peace in our hearts. Joyce Meyer
#1681 When we really
understand grace, it takes the pressure off – we don’t live by our effort and
our trying. Joyce Meyer
#1682 When we see our
breakthrough happen, it’s often the result of what God’s been working on for
years. Joyce Meyer
#1683 When we trust God
more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his
best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do
with you anymore. Joyce Meyer
#1684 When we understand
God’s love for us and His plan for us, then we can begin to realize the doors
that He wants to open for us. But we’ll only realize these things when we’re
constantly talking with Him, listening to His Voice, and growing deeper in our
relationship with Him. Joyce Meyer
#1685 When we worship the
Lord, we release the emotional or mental burden that weighs us down. It is
swallowed up in the awesomeness of God. When we keep our eyes on Him and
worship, we will always see His plan for our lives work out all things for our
good. Regardless of the difficulties you face, just keep praising God and
giving Him glory. Faith will rise in your heart, and you will overcome. Joyce
Meyer
#1686 When you are in a
storm, remember that the rough weather won’t last forever! Joyce Meyer
#1687 When you are
pursuing God’s will for your life, He will give you peace. Joyce Meyer
#1688 When you are tempted
to give up, your breakthrough is probably just around the corner. Joyce Meyer
#1689 When you are the
closest to your breakthrough, the pressure is the greatest. You have come too
far to give up now! Joyce Meyer
#1690 When you begin to
worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do
something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about
it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else,
remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your
problem. Joyce Meyer
#1691 When you bring in
the light it always dispels the darkness. Joyce Meyer
#1692 When you complain
you remain. When you praise you get raised. Joyce Meyer
#1693 When you feel down,
go be a blessing to somebody else. Joyce Meyer
#1694 When you feel like
it’s too hard to obey God, remember that He will never tell you to do something
without giving you the grace, power and ability to do it. Joyce Meyer
#1695 When you fill your
thoughts with right things, the wrong ones have no room to enter. Joyce Meyer
#1696 When you focus on
how wonderful God is and all the great things He has done … is doing … and even
will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe.
Don’t let yourself ever get used to it … stay amazed! Joyce Meyer
#1697 When you forgive,
you set someone free, and then you realize that someone is you. Joyce Meyer
#1698 When you have a
problem, don’t go to the phone. Go to the Throne. Joyce Meyer
#1699 When you need to
make a decision, don’t let your emotions vote. Joyce Meyer
#1700 When you pray be
sure that you listen as well as talk. You have things you want to say to God,
but He also has things He wants to say to you. Joyce Meyer
#1701 When you really know
who God is – that He’s for you and not against you – that He loves you, that
He’s the source of everything you need – then life gets really exciting! Joyce
Meyer
#1702 When you receive
Christ, you never have to go through a problem alone again. Joyce Meyer
#1703 When you see the
least, and feel the least, that’s often when God is doing the most. Joyce Meyer
#1704 When you stand up
and you trust God, He will give you the grace to do what you need to do in
every situation. Joyce Meyer
#1705 When you take time
with God and listen to His Voice, He renews your strength and enables you to
handle life. Joyce Meyer
#1706 When you turn the
construction of your life over to God, He will build something beautiful. Joyce
Meyer
#1707 When you walk in
love, you give up your right to be right. Joyce Meyer
#1708 When your soul is
resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace
with God, not resisting what He’s doing. Joyce Meyer
#1709 Where the mind goes,
the man follows. Joyce Meyer
#1710 Where there is a
rotten root, there will always be rotten fruit. We must be rooted in Jesus
Christ to bear good fruit. Joyce Meyer
#1711 Where there is no
peace, there is no power. Joyce Meyer
#1712 Whether we’re happy
with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important. Joyce Meyer
#1713 While God is working
on your problem … stay calm, stay sweet, stay out of fear, and keep on keepin’
on. Joyce Meyer
#1714 While you are
waiting for God to move, be a very thankful and grateful person for all that
God has done for you already. Joyce Meyer
#1715 Why is it that
although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out
of them in a few days. Joyce Meyer
#1716 Wisdom is doing now
with what you will be happy with later on. Joyce Meyer
#1717 With God we can face
anything and do anything that is His will. Joyce Meyer
#1718 With God’s help I am
continually reminded that my past does not have to control my future. Joyce
Meyer
#1719 With God’s help, I
don’t have to be aggravated or frustrated. I can stay calm and hold my peace.
Joyce Meyer
#1720 With God’s help,
your past does not have to define your future. Joyce Meyer
#1721 Without Jesus I am
not able to do one single thing, but with Him and in Him I can do all I need to
do. Joyce Meyer
#1722 Words are containers
for power. You choose what kind of power they carry. Joyce Meyer
#1723 Words are powerful;
if you change your words, you can change your life. Joyce Meyer
#1724 Words are so
awesome. Words are containers for power. They carry either creative power or
destructive power. Joyce Meyer
#1725 Worry and reasoning
are two of Satan’s most successful tools. He’ll get us started with one
negative thought and then sit back and watch us finish ourselves off. Joyce
Meyer
#1726 Worry increases
pressure; prayer releases peace. Joyce Meyer
#1727 Worry is a down
payment on a problem you may never have. Joyce Meyer
#1728 Worry is like a
rocking chair … always in motion, but not going anywhere. Joyce Meyer
#1729 Worry is like
rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you
nowhere. Joyce Meyer
#1730 Worry is useless, so
why do it? Joyce Meyer
#1731 Worry sees the
problem, but faith sees the God who can handle the problem. Joyce Meyer
#1732 Worrying is trying
to figure out what to do to save yourself, rather than trusting in God for
deliverance. Joyce Meyer
#1733 You and I cannot
change ourselves, but we can spend time seeking the One who can change us.
Joyce Meyer
#1734 You are fearfully
and wonderfully made by God…a unique and valuable creation. You are not a
mistake and there’s nothing accidental about you. Joyce Meyer
#1735 You are God’s
masterpiece. Believe it! Joyce Meyer
#1736 You are loved! Joyce
Meyer
#1737 You are not free
until you have no need to impress anybody. Joyce Meyer
#1738 You are wonderfully
made! Joyce Meyer
#1739 You can be bitter or
better, but you can’t be both at the same time. Joyce Meyer
#1740 You can be pitiful
or powerful, but you can’t be both. Joyce Meyer
#1741 You can change your
life by letting the Word of God change your mind. Joyce Meyer
#1742 You can decide to
trust God or you can decide to be miserable. Joyce Meyer
#1743 You can get over a
broken past if you decide to believe that there’s nothing in your past that can
keep you from having a great future. Joyce Meyer
#1744 You can have a
glorious destiny! Joyce Meyer
#1745 You can have a life
without strife! Joyce Meyer
#1746 You can live with
God’s power (His miraculous ability, might and strength). Joyce Meyer
#1747 You can make it
through your emotional trials. Jesus wasn’t led by His feelings. And you don’t
have to be either when God lets things affect you emotionally. Seize the moment
and view it as an opportunity to step into a place of absolute trust in God.
Joyce Meyer
#1748 You can make this
journey little by little: you don’t have to give up or quit. Joyce Meyer
#1749 You can never be
free through avoidance and running away from things. Joyce Meyer
#1750 You can suffer the
pain of change or suffer remaining the way you are. Joyce Meyer
#1751 You can take all
that stress and pressure, and learn to give it to God and live in the peace and
joy He has planned for your life. Joyce Meyer
#1752 You can tell how
spiritually mature you are when somebody else gets blessed with something you
want. Joyce Meyer
#1753 You can’t be a
worshipper and a worrier at the same time. Joyce Meyer
#1754 You can’t bother God
because He picked you … you can’t impose on Him! He’s not rolling His eyes when
you have a problem. Instead, He will always remind you how far you have come,
how well you are doing, how precious you are in His sight, and how much He
loves you. God already knew your weaknesses, every flaw you would have, every
time you would fail, and He still said, “I want you”. Ephesians 1:5 declares
that He foreordained you to be adopted as His own. God is your daddy! With Him
on your side, things are bound to work out all right in the end. Joyce Meyer
#1755 You can’t fulfill
all the expectations of everyone you know, so you might as well go ahead and
disappoint them and get it over with. Joyce Meyer
#1756 You can’t have a
testimony without the test. Joyce Meyer
#1757 You can’t have peace
without grace – undeserved favor and power. Joyce Meyer
#1758 You can’t have real
love without operating in forgiveness. Love keeps giving the other person
another chance. Joyce Meyer
#1759 You cannot be
selfish and happy. Joyce Meyer
#1760 You cannot have a
positive life and a negative mind. Joyce Meyer
#1761 You cannot live your
life just based on what everyone else thinks. Joyce Meyer
#1762 You don’t have to be
like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a
unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.
Joyce Meyer
#1763 You don’t have to
fear anything or anyone. Joyce Meyer
#1764 You don’t have to
give way to careless speech or complaining. You don’t have to let your feelings
get in the way of what God wants to do in your life. Joyce Meyer
#1765 You don’t have to
wait until you’re perfected to like yourself. You can start even while God’s
changing you. Joyce Meyer
#1766 You don’t need to
know what tomorrow holds. All you need to know is the One who holds tomorrow.
Joyce Meyer
#1767 You have a great God
who loves you and cares about you. Be full of hope that something good can
happen to you. God is a master at new beginnings. He loves fresh beginnings,
and He makes everything new. Joyce Meyer
#1768 You have so many
capabilities and potential. Start celebrating the life God has given you. Joyce
Meyer
#1769 You have the power
to make the world a better place by being kind to someone today. Joyce Meyer
#1770 You have to go
through to get through. Joyce Meyer
#1771 You have to realize
that you don’t have someone else’s life and you’re never going to. You better
start loving the one you got. Embrace the life you have and stop wishing you
could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying, “God, here I am. Do
what You want to do with me.” Joyce Meyer
#1772 You know, God will
give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that
you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you
wouldn’t believe. Joyce Meyer
#1773 You may be going
through something, but the good news is, you’re going through to victory. Joyce
Meyer
#1774 You may have had a
bad start in life, but you can have a great finish. Joyce Meyer
#1775 You may need to be
patient, but God is always faithful. Joyce Meyer
#1776 You may still feel
fear, but you don’t have to let fear stop you. Joyce Meyer
#1777 You must turn to God
and say, “Father, I need Your strength. By faith I choose to receive Your grace
so that I may forgive those who mistreated me or wronged me. I ask You to bless
them and help me go on with my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” Joyce Meyer
#1778 You need to be
moving if you want God to show you which way to go. Joyce Meyer
#1779 You never know how
close you are. Never give up on your dreams. Joyce Meyer
#1780 You never really
know yourself until you see yourself under pressure. Joyce Meyer
#1781 You only have one
life, and if it is not going in the direction you want it to, now is the time
to make changes. Joyce Meyer
#1782 You see, rebellion,
and the disobedience it causes, keeps us from having the power of God that’s
available to us as Christians. Joyce Meyer
#1783 You see, you are a
spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have
thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being!
And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There’s not one part that He
doesn’t want to make completely whole. Joyce Meyer
#1784 You think when
you’re having to wait, that means God doesn’t love you. Maybe God has got
something deeper in mind than your immediate relief. Joyce Meyer
#1785 You were created to
do amazing things. Joyce Meyer
#1786 You were not an
accident. You were designed on purpose for a purpose. Joyce Meyer
#1787 You will never enjoy
life if you do not enjoy yourself. Joyce Meyer
#1788 You will never
forgive if you wait until you feel like it. Joyce Meyer
#1789 You will never see
the end, if you give up in the middle. Joyce Meyer
#1790 You’ll have to give
God a little more room in your life if you really want peace. Joyce Meyer
#1791 You’ll never get up
on the outside until you get up on the inside. Joyce Meyer
#1792 You’re going to make
it! Joyce Meyer
#1793 You’re no surprise
to God. He knew what He was getting when He made you. Joyce Meyer
#1794 You’re not a failure
until you stop trying. If you have no other testimony, you have this one: “I’m
still here.” Joyce Meyer
#1795 You’re not free,
unless you come to the place where you have nothing to prove. Joyce Meyer
#1796 You’re so caught up
in grumbling, complaining, and seeing what’s wrong that you have no energy or
time to appreciate what’s good. Joyce Meyer
#1797 You’re worth
something because God says you’re worth something – not because of what people
think or say about you. Joyce Meyer
#1798 You’ve been set
apart by God to do amazing things. And better yet, you’ve been given the Holy
Spirit to help you do it! Joyce Meyer
#1799 You’ve got just as
much opportunity as everybody else. It just depends on what you’re willing to
believe and how you’re willing to live. Joyce Meyer
#1800 You’ve got to be
very careful that you don’t try to make things happen. Joyce Meyer
#1801 You’ve gotta learn
how to think right before you can live right. Joyce Meyer
#1802 Your attitude
belongs to you, and it’s your choice if you want to have a good one. Joyce
Meyer
#1803 Your attitude
belongs to you, and nobody can force you to have a bad one if you don’t want
to. Joyce Meyer
#1804 Your emotions are
very unstable and should never be the foundation for direction in your life.
Joyce Meyer
#1805 Your faith is not to
help you avoid problems, it’s to help you go through them with stability. Joyce
Meyer
#1806 Your fellowship with
God flows freely when you’re willing to forgive, but it gets blocked by
unforgiveness. Joyce Meyer
#1807 Your future has no
place for the regrets of your past. Joyce Meyer
#1808 Your future is as
bright as the promises of God!
#1809 Your joy comes from
how you think and the choices you make in life. Joyce Meyer
#1810 Your mind can be a
junkyard or a treasure chest, and you alone have the ability to choose what it
will be. You can think “power-enhancing” thoughts or “power-draining” thoughts.
Start making the right choice today. Joyce Meyer
#1811 Your mouth is a
powerful tool either for God or for the enemy … you can either speak positive,
uplifting, encouraging things into existence in your life, or produce negative,
gloomy and discouraging things. The mouth can be used for blessing or destruction,
not only in our lives, but also in the lives of others. Joyce Meyer
#1812 Your soul is your
mind, your will and your emotions. When the Word gets rooted in there and
begins to change your mind, it begins to heal your emotions and turn your will
away from self-will and onto doing the will of God. Joyce Meyer
#1813 Your thoughts will
take you where you want to go. Joyce Meyer
#1814 Your word is your
honor. If you say you’re going to do something, then you need to do it. Joyce
Meyer
#1815 Your worst day with
Jesus will always be better than your best day without Him. Joyce Meyer
#1816 Fear is a dead end,
but faith always has a future. Joyce Meyer
#1817 You cannot mistreat
people and have working faith. Joyce Meyer
#1818 Faith works in an
obedient heart. Joyce Meyer
#1819 “What about me.”
“What about me.” Quit thinking about yourself all the time and consider others.
Joyce Meyer
#1820 “What no eye has
seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” – the things
God has prepared for those who love Him. Joyce Meyer
#1821 80% of people’s
problems are about how they feel about themselves. Joyce Meyer
#1822 A #2 pencil and a
dream can take you anywhere. Joyce Meyer
#1823 A bad attitude is
like a flat tire. If you don’t change it, you won’t go anywhere. Joyce Meyer
#1824 A humble person is
happy in who they are. Joyce Meyer
#1825 A lot of the pain
that we are dealing with are really only thoughts. Joyce Meyer
#1826 All God wants us to
do is do what He asks us to do. Joyce Meyer
#1827 All of our problems
start in our minds. Joyce Meyer
#1828 Along with our
strengths, we also have weaknesses. Let Christ be strong in your weaknesses;
let Him be your strength today! Joyce Meyer
#1829 An affirmation to
say every day: “The healing power of God is working in me right now. Every day
I get better and better in every way.” Joyce Meyer
#1830 Any time you need
help, God is right there, ready to help you. Joyce Meyer
#1831 Anything God asks
you to do is for your benefit. Joyce Meyer
#1832 Anything you don’t
feed dies. We need to take time to feed ourselves spiritually. Joyce Meyer
#1833 Anything you pray
for is something you are going to have to take care of. Joyce Meyer
#1834 Anytime we don’t
keep God first, life gets messy and we get stressed out. Joyce Meyer
#1835 Anytime we step out
boldly to make changes, we take a chance that we might fail. But the only way
to get better is to try. Joyce Meyer
#1836 Are you doing your
own thinking, choosing carefully to think thankful, positive thoughts or are
you passively thinking whatever kind of thoughts fill your mind? Thinking
negatively makes you miserable. Why be miserable when you can be happy. Joyce Meyer
#1837 Are you going to be
a mouthpiece for God or a mouthpiece for the enemy? Joyce Meyer
#1838 Are you living up to
your potential? God made you with potential – potential for greatness! If you
do what you can do, and trust Him to do what you can’t, you will grow into the
person He gave you the potential to be! Joyce Meyer
#1839 Aren’t you glad that
He’s the God of “more than enough” and not the God of “barely get by”? Joyce
Meyer
#1840 As believers in
Jesus Christ, our work is to believe while God works on our behalf. Joyce Meyer
#1841 As believers, our
joy and peace are not based in doing and achieving, but in believing. Joy and
peace come as a result of building our relationship with the Lord. Joyce Meyer
#1842 As long as we
complain, we remain stuck in our problems. But a thankful attitude brings
deliverance and makes God smile. Joyce Meyer
#1843 As people who have
been forgiven of much, it is important we learn to share that same forgiveness
with others. Joyce Meyer
#1844 As we regularly
spend time reading God’s Word and talking to Him in prayer, we put ourselves in
position for Him to do things in our lives we could never do on our own. Joyce
Meyer
#1845 As we rest in God,
He works in our lives, renewing our minds through His Word. The Word of God has
the power to change us. Joyce Meyer
#1846 As you pray for the
Holy Spirit to make you aware of thoughts that come into your mind that don’t
line up with God’s Word, you’ll begin to realize when those thoughts come and
you can renew your mind with the Word. Joyce Meyer
#1847 As you read or
listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will
eventually become stronger than your flesh. Joyce Meyer
#1848 As you spend more
time thinking correctly, great transformation will take place in your life.
Joyce Meyer
#1849 Ask God to fill your
mouth with the words you need to say today. No issue is so small that it
doesn’t require God’s wisdom. Joyce Meyer
#1850 Ask God to help you,
and then refuse to allow your mind to think about whatever it pleases. Joyce
Meyer
#1851 Attitude determines
destiny. Our attitude involves our character. Our character begins with our
thoughts. Joyce Meyer
#1852 Attitude is your
thought life turned inside out. Joyce Meyer
#1853 Average is very
acceptable in our society, but I don’t think the angels are applauding. If you
are determined to be excellent, to not back out of it, you will reap a harvest
in your life. Joyce Meyer
#1854 Bad habits are our
enemies because they hinder us from being the person we want to be. Joyce Meyer
#1855 Be a happy believer,
not a believer who looks like you’ve been baptized in lemon juice. Joyce Meyer
#1856 Be bold and step out
to do new things. You have what it takes! Joyce Meyer
#1857 Be careful about
what you think and what you say during your times of trial and tribulation. The
attitude you have while in the wilderness determines how long you stay there.
Joyce Meyer
#1858 Be courageous enough
to be who God created you to be! Joyce Meyer
#1859 Be generous with
your gratitude. It will sweeten your relationship with the Lord. Joyce Meyer
#1860 Be hopeful at all
times and walk in faith. But above all seek love and walk in it. God is love,
and when we walk in love we show Him to those we come in contact with. Joyce
Meyer
#1861 Be knit together
with love. The one thing that everyone is looking for is unconditional love. We
all need somebody to love us just the way we are. Joyce Meyer
#1862 Be thankful for
every sign of progress no matter how small. Joyce Meyer
#1863 Be thankful for red
lights. Imagine if they stopped working. Joyce Meyer
#1864 Be the change you
want to see. You can’t expect your spouse to change if you’re not willing to
either. Joyce Meyer
#1865 Be willing to listen
to others and be teachable. You’re not right about everything…nobody is. Joyce
Meyer
#1866 Be your own best
friend. Joyce Meyer
#1867 Be yourself. Use the
gifts God has given you, and follow your unique individual bent. Don’t try to
follow anyone else’s program. Stick with God’s. Joyce Meyer
#1868 Because God is
seeking quality in our character, time is not His concern. Masterpieces take a
lot of time. Joyce Meyer
#1869 Because God is with
you, there is no problem, no debt, no trial, and no obstacle worth stressing
out about. Joyce Meyer
#1870 Become pliable and
moldable in the hands of God so He can easily move and reshape you into what He
wants you to be. Joyce Meyer
#1871 Before I go to sleep
at night, I like being able to say, “I’m not angry at anybody.” Don’t wait for
the other person to make it right. Just go ahead and be first. Joyce Meyer
#1872 Choose joy. Joyce
Meyer
#1873 Before you do
anything, you must quickly check with your spirit to see if the thing you are
about to do is okay. If you have peace, then proceed. But if you are
uncomfortable, confused or frustrated, remain still … yield to the Holy Spirit
and follow His promptings, and you will grow in the same discernment that Jesus
walked in. Joyce Meyer
#1874 Before you judge
someone else, stop and think about all that God has forgiven you for. Joyce
Meyer
#1875 Being negative only
makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you
don’t have to sit on it. Joyce Meyer
#1876 Being positive is
one of the secrets to being a happy Christian. Joyce Meyer
#1877 Being sad won’t make
your troubles go away, but being happy will give you the strength to deal with
them. Joyce Meyer
#1878 Blessed are those
who have not seen, yet believe. Joyce Meyer
#1879 Bloom where you are
planted. Joyce Meyer
#1880 Breaking old habits
and forming new ones always takes time, but it is worth it in the end. Joyce
Meyer
#1881 But you shall
receive power (ability, efficiency and might) when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you. Joyce Meyer
#1882 By giving God your
time, you are saying that you need Him in your life. Joyce Meyer
#1883 Calm down and cheer
up; you’re equipped to handle it. Joyce Meyer
#1884 Catering to bad
feelings feeds and empowers them. Joyce Meyer
#1885 Change is a process.
It comes little by little. Joyce Meyer
#1886 Change is always
tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of
starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and
insecurity. Joyce Meyer
#1887 Change takes time,
but it’s time well spent because it brings a great reward. Joyce Meyer
#1888 Change, don’t
complain. Joyce Meyer
#1889 Character is doing
what you don’t want to do, but know you should do. Joyce Meyer
#1890 Character is
expressed through our behavior patterns, or natural responses to things. Joyce
Meyer
#1891 Cleanse my heart and
make it yours, O God. Joyce Meyer
#1892 Commit to stop
making excuses. When we make excuses, we lie to ourselves and continue bad
habits. Joyce Meyer
#1893 Complaining is
dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God,
your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with
yourself. Joyce Meyer
#1894 Compliment people.
Magnify their strengths, not their weaknesses. Joyce Meyer
#1895 Compromise means to
go just a little bit below what you know is right. It’s just a little bit, but
it’s the little foxes that spoil the vine. Joyce Meyer
#1896 Confident people do
not concentrate on their weaknesses, they develop and maximize their strengths.
Joyce Meyer
#1897 Consider a tree for
a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don’t see what goes on
underground – as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to
grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don’t see the roots. We just see and
enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the
roots of a tree. Joyce Meyer
#1898 Consistency is key.
Be serious about your commitment and stick with it. Joyce Meyer
#1899 Contentment with
life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Joyce Meyer
#1900 Courage is fear that
has said its prayers and has decided to go forward anyways. Joyce Meyer
#1901 Courage is not the
absence of fear. It is action in the presence of fear. Bold people do what they
know they should do – not what they feel like doing. Joyce Meyer
#1902 Courage means to
keep making forward progress while you still feel afraid. Joyce Meyer
#1903 Cultivate an
attitude of hope. Joyce Meyer
#1904 Day by day God is
changing me … I am not controlled by my sinful nature. I am controlled by the
Spirit because the Spirit of God lives in me. Joyce Meyer
#1905 Deadly emotions,
buried alive, never die. Joyce Meyer
#1906 Dear God, thank You
for Your countless blessings. Thank You for Your unconditional love. Thank You
for carrying me through every storm in life. Amen. Joyce Meyer
#1907 Decide not to spend
your life miserable. God is alive and has a plan for you! Joyce Meyer
#1908 Decide to be a
blessing to everyone you meet today. Forgive anyone who has hurt you, and leave
unresolved circumstances in God’s hands. Joyce Meyer
#1909 Decide today to put
an end to the frustration, discouragement and stress that drains your energy.
Joyce Meyer
#1910 Depression begins
with disappointment. When disappointment festers in our soul, it leads to
discouragement. Joyce Meyer
#1911 Determination keeps
us going when the going gets tough. Joyce Meyer
#1912 Did you know … that
you believe what you say more than what anybody else says? Joyce Meyer
#1913 Did you know there’s
a difference between being busy and being fruitful? Did you ever stop to think
that just being busy – running around in circles all day but not accomplishing
anything – is the same as wasting your time? It’s frustrating to expend so much
energy and time and not have any fruit from your effort! Joyce Meyer
#1914 Difficulties will
eventually give way to victory, and good times will become better times. Joyce
Meyer
#1915 Dig into God’s Word.
It’s His love letter to you. Joyce Meyer
#1916 Discipline enables
you to think first and act second. Joyce Meyer
#1917 Discipline is your
friend, not your enemy. Joyce Meyer
#1918 Do I ever doubt? Oh
sure! I deal with doubt all the time. I have to choose to believe God in every
situation. I remind myself all the time to get out of fear, get out of doubt,
and get back into faith. Joyce Meyer
#1919 Do it afraid. Joyce
Meyer
#1920 Do what you can do,
and don’t be frustrated by what you cannot do. Joyce Meyer
#1921 Do what you don’t
want to do, get what you want to get. Joyce Meyer
#1922 Do what’s right,
first. Don’t sit around and wait for someone else to do the right thing first.
Joyce Meyer
#1923 Do you feel disappointed
because something you planned didn’t work out. If so, you can get re-appointed
today. In God, there are never any dead-ends, just detours. Don’t ever give up.
Just keep trying until you succeed. Joyce Meyer
#1924 Doing things right,
or in an excellent manner, always takes more time than merely doing it quickly
just to get it done and check it off your list. But I’m always happy I did it.
Joyce Meyer
#1925 Don’t be afraid of
change, because it is leading you to a new beginning. Joyce Meyer
#1926 Don’t be afraid of
life. Jesus came that we may have life and have it to the full. Joyce Meyer
#1927 Don’t be too
concerned about what others think of you. It’s what you think about yourself
that matters! Joyce Meyer
#1928 Don’t beat on
yourself about something for which God has forgiven you. Joyce Meyer
#1929 Don’t believe
everything you think! Joyce Meyer
#1930 Don’t build walls
and shut people out of your life. To act as if another does not exist is a mean
and cruel weapon. Joyce Meyer
#1931 Don’t complain. The
Israelites wasted forty years murmuring and complaining in the wilderness, when
they could have just obeyed God and entered into their Promised Land. Joyce
Meyer
#1932 Don’t depend on
other people as the source of your happiness or approval. Joyce Meyer
#1933 Don’t ever be
discouraged with yourself because you have not arrived at success, but instead
be pleased that you are pressing toward it. Joyce Meyer
#1934 Don’t ever be
jealous of anyone else. Just ask God what you want and trust Him to give it to
you the right way at the right time. And trust Him not to give it to you if
what you’re asking for is not God’s best for you. Joyce Meyer
#1935 Don’t ever quit on
God, because He will never quit on you. Joyce Meyer
#1936 Don’t ever waste a
day. Once time goes by, you never get it back. Joyce Meyer
#1937 Don’t forget to pray
your way through the day. Joyce Meyer
#1938 Don’t give in to
excuses that can keep you from really living the best life God has for you.
Joyce Meyer
#1939 Don’t give up … the
finish line is closer than you think it is! Joyce Meyer
#1940 Don’t give up on the
people you love. Your patient love and faithfulness may be exactly what they
need to make a complete turnaround. Joyce Meyer
#1941 Don’t judge other
people. For example, if you want God’s anointing to be on you for parenting,
you need to be careful not to criticize other parents. Joyce Meyer
#1942 Don’t just learn
from God’s Word, but believe it will change your life. Joyce Meyer
#1943 Don’t just pray for
God to open doors, pray for God to close doors in your life that need to be
closed. Joyce Meyer
#1944 Don’t just try to
slip in the back door of Heaven. Throw your life wide open and say, “God, here
I am.” Joyce Meyer
#1945 Don’t let someone
who has a bad attitude give it to you. Joyce Meyer
#1946 Don’t let the devil
keep you unhappy. Joyce Meyer
#1947 Don’t let the way
another person treats you determine your worth. Joyce Meyer
#1948 Don’t let your
feelings be a god to you. Joyce Meyer
#1949 Don’t let your mind
be a garbage dump for the devil. Joyce Meyer
#1950 Don’t live like
there’s no tomorrow because tomorrow always comes. Joyce Meyer
#1951 Don’t miss out on
today by living in yesterday. Joyce Meyer
#1952 Don’t mourn bad
decisions – overcome them with good ones. Joyce Meyer
#1953 Don’t punish
everybody else for what some people have done to you. Joyce Meyer
#1954 Don’t reason in the
mind, just obey in the Spirit. Joyce Meyer
#1955 Don’t seek to be a
people pleaser. Don’t compromise what you know is right in your heart to gain
the approval of others. The only approval you need is the Lord’s, and you
already have that. Joyce Meyer
#1956 Don’t settle for
anything less than the best God has to offer you. Joyce Meyer
#1957 Don’t spend the rest
of your life mourning something you have lost. Go forward and don’t look back.
Joyce Meyer
#1958 Don’t spend your
time chasing blessings. Chase God and the blessings will chase you. Joyce Meyer
#1959 Don’t take the
people that love you for granted … being loved is a beautiful gift from God.
Joyce Meyer
#1960 Don’t try to change
people. It won’t work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change
people. Joyce Meyer
#1961 Don’t underestimate
the power of your words today. Line up your language with the heart of God, and
enjoy the sweet, delightful healing it brings! Joyce Meyer
#1962 Don’t wait around
waiting for God to do something that He’s already given you the power to do.
Joyce Meyer
#1963 Don’t wait until
everything is perfect before you decide to enjoy your life. Joyce Meyer
#1964 Don’t wait until you
feel like it. Go out and love on purpose. You will be amazed at the joy it
releases in your soul! Joyce Meyer
#1965 Don’t waste another
day of your life grieving over something that you cannot do anything about. Let
God give you a new beginning. Your mistakes are not enough to stop God if you
don’t let them. Joyce Meyer
#1966 Don’t waste one more
day of your life in self-pity. Joyce Meyer
#1967 Don’t waste the
energy God has given you on stress. Save it for living and enjoying life! Joyce
Meyer
#1968 Don’t waste today
regretting the past or dreading the future. Enjoy this day because it is a gift
from God! Joyce Meyer
#1969 Don’t waste your
time being upset about something you can’t change. Begin again, and do it
better this time. Joyce Meyer
#1970 Dread, which is
closely related to fear, steals the ability to enjoy ordinary life and makes
people anxious about the future. It keeps them from looking forward to the next
day, the next month, or the next decade. Joyce Meyer
#1971 During a storm, hope
gives us the ability to look at things as they are and still be confident that
something better is coming. Joyce Meyer
#1972 Each time we
cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks
us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us – more
freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings. Joyce Meyer
#1973 Embrace your life,
count your blessings, and don’t complain about what you don’t have. Joyce Meyer
#1974 Embrace your little
victories. Small successes breed large ones. Joyce Meyer
#1975 Emotions can be
misleading. Joyce Meyer
#1976 Encourage everyone
you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their
presence and they will always be glad to see you coming. Joyce Meyer
#1977 Even if your
fragmented life looks like an abandoned battlefield, Jesus can reshape all the
pieces of your past into something beautiful. Joyce Meyer
#1978 Even the strongest
fear is no match for our God! Joyce Meyer
#1979 Even when everybody
else tells us it’s impossible, if we will step out in faith and follow God, He
will give us the grace to go forward. Joyce Meyer
#1980 Even when I don’t
know what to do, I do know God and I believe He is working. Joyce Meyer
#1981 Even when there
seems to be no way, with God there is always a way. Joyce Meyer
#1982 Every day ask God
for favor. He can open doors for you that no one else can open. Joyce Meyer
#1983 Every day is a gift
from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift! Joyce Meyer
#1984 Every new day in
Christ is a new opportunity for something incredible to happen. Joyce Meyer
#1985 Every time we get
really upset, it takes a lot of emotional energy, tires us out, messes with our
health, steals our joy, and still doesn’t change one thing. Joyce Meyer
#1986 Every time you feel
like doing the wrong thing, but choose to do the right thing, you are growing!
Joyce Meyer
#1987 Every time you look
in the mirror, remember that God created you and that everything He creates is
beautiful and good. Joyce Meyer
#1988 Every time you open
your mouth, your thoughts parade up and down the words you speak. Joyce Meyer
#1989 Everybody wants to
be an overcomer, but nobody wants anything to overcome. Joyce Meyer
#1990 Everybody’s always
looking for a word, here’s a word: LOVE. Walk in love, that will keep you busy
for the rest of your life. Joyce Meyer
#1991 Everyone knows how
to smile. It’s one of the greatest gifts God has given us. A smile makes people
feel good, and people look so beautiful when they smile. Joyce Meyer
#1992 Everything God tells
us to do is for our good. Whether its direction you get in His Word or
something He’s specifically put in your heart for your situation in life, the
absolute best thing you can ever do is obey Him promptly and completely. Joyce
Meyer
#1993 Everything in life
is subject to change, except for God. Joyce Meyer
#1994 Everything in your
life should involve God. Don’t just give Him five minutes in the morning. Live
for Him. Joyce Meyer
#1995 Everything we do is
to be offered to the Lord; and if done so with a pure heart of love, it becomes
holy. Joyce Meyer
#1996 Everything we run
away from has power over us. Everything we go through we conquer. Joyce Meyer
#1997 Everything you do is
a seed that you sow. Seed bad, harvest bad. Seed good, harvest good. And the
list goes on and on. Joyce Meyer
#1998 Excellence – take
what you have and do the BEST with it! Joyce Meyer
#1999 Excellence is going
the extra mile. Joyce Meyer
#2000 Expect God to do
something great! Joyce Meyer
#2001 Expect something
good to happen to you today. Joyce Meyer
#2002 Failing at a thing
doesn’t make you a failure. You are a failure when you quit trying. Joyce Meyer
#2003 Failures won’t
defeat me. Joyce Meyer
#2004 Feeling sorry for
ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely
no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control
us. We can decide to be happy regardless. Joyce Meyer
#2005 Fellowshipping with
God early in the morning is one sure way to begin enjoying every day of your
life. Joyce Meyer
#2006 Fill each day with
fellowship with God, good choices, healthy foods, and lots of activity. Joyce
Meyer
#2007 Fill your thoughts
with good. Joyce Meyer
#2008 Find joy in the
small things. Joyce Meyer
#2009 Find ways to
celebrate your progress instead of mourning excessively over your mistakes.
Joyce Meyer
#2010 Five minutes of communication
can save a year’s worth of turmoil and misunderstanding. Joyce Meyer
#2011 Focus on giving
smiles away and you will always discover that your own smiles will always be in
great supply. Joyce Meyer
#2012 Focus on the good
habit you want to do, not the bad habit you don’t want to do. Overcome the bad
with good. Joyce Meyer
#2013 Focus on your
potential instead of your limitations. Joyce Meyer
#2014 Forgive quickly. The
quicker you do it, the easier it is. Joyce Meyer
#2015 Forgiveness is
manifested mercy. It is live in action – not love based on a feeling, but love
based on a decision, an intentional choice to obey God. Joyce Meyer
#2016 Forgiveness is not a
feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before
God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get
through the process, depending on the severity of the offense. Joyce Meyer
#2017 Forgiveness is not a
one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday
thing, for the rest of your life. Joyce Meyer
#2018 Get the help you
need. Refuse to live any longer pressed down under a burden of guilt and
condemnation. Joyce Meyer
#2019 Get up every day,
love God, and do your best. He will do the rest! Joyce Meyer
#2020 Getting stress out
of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes
and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in
the way you handle things. Joyce Meyer
#2021 Give God your mess
and let it become your message. Joyce Meyer
#2022 Give yourself
permission to lighten up and don’t be so intense about your own perfection.
Joyce Meyer
#2023 Giving in to fear
alters God’s best plan for your life. So use the power of God’s Word to do what
He wants to do … even if you have to do it afraid! The rewards are great! Joyce
Meyer
#2024 Giving is just one
way of expressing that God has been good to you and will continue to do so
through your being good to others. Joyce Meyer
#2025 Go beyond what you
feel like doing and do what’s right. Every time you do what is right when you
don’t feel like it, you are growing. Joyce Meyer
#2026 Go over, under,
around, or through, but never, never give up. Joyce Meyer
#2027 God can completely
restore us – no matter what we’ve done or been through. He wants to give us
double for our trouble! Joyce Meyer
#2028 God can deliver your
mind from the desert and help you enjoy the journey to the promised land! Joyce
Meyer
#2029 God can do a miracle
with every little thing you give Him. Joyce Meyer
#2030 God can do
exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond, but you’ve got to know who you are
in Christ. You’ve got to know that He loves you. Joyce Meyer
#2031 God cannot lead you
if you aren’t willing to follow. Joyce Meyer
#2032 God cares about
every tiny detail of your life. Joyce Meyer
#2033 God cares about
everything that concerns you. So feel free to talk to Him about anything. Joyce
Meyer
#2034 God created us to
please Him, which sets us free from the need to please people. Joyce Meyer
#2035 God desires that we
be truthful with Him, truthful to others, and truthful with ourselves. Joyce
Meyer
#2036 God does not love us
because we deserve it. He loves us because He is kind and wants to. Joyce Meyer
#2037 God doesn’t do good
things for us because we are good and deserve them, but because He is good and
loves us. Joyce Meyer
#2038 God doesn’t do
things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely
enough, mediocre or lukewarm. Joyce Meyer
#2039 God doesn’t want us
to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold,
confident and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to
amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith. Joyce
Meyer
#2040 God doesn’t want you
to just talk about victory, He wants you to have it in your daily life. Joyce
Meyer
#2041 God forgives our
sins and remembers them no more. So you can stop remembering what God has
forgotten. Joyce Meyer
#2042 God has a big
eraser, and He uses it to keep our records clean and clear. Joyce Meyer
#2043 God has an antidote
for everything that tries to poison our soul. Joyce Meyer
#2044 God has an
appointment with your breakthrough. And when that time comes, God will not be
late. Joyce Meyer
#2045 God has called me to
be me, and you to be you. Joyce Meyer
#2046 God has equipped you
to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of
discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with
His Word to make them grow! Joyce Meyer
#2047 God has joyful
moments planned for us each and every day. With Him, life is always an
adventure! Joyce Meyer
#2048 God has never once
had a negative thought about you. Joyce Meyer
#2049 God has planted
greatness in you. Let today be the beginning of a great adventure as you step
into the gifts He’s given you. Joyce Meyer
#2050 God has uniquely
gifted you to help someone. Be available as God opens doors for you to do so.
Joyce Meyer
#2051 God has your
comeback planned, and it’s going to be glorious. Joyce Meyer
#2052 God hears and sees,
and you are not alone in your struggles. Remain firm and stable, for God has
your deliverance planned. Joyce Meyer
#2053 God is a God of
hearts. He sees and cares about our attitude of heart even more than our
performance. Joyce Meyer
#2054 God is a great God!
I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him. Joyce Meyer
#2055 God is able to do
anything. All things are possible with Him, but we must not quit praying. Joyce
Meyer
#2056 God is always
working things out for my good. He has chosen me for His purpose. Joyce Meyer
#2057 God is bigger than
every issue you will ever have to face, and you can do whatever you need to do
through Christ who strengthens you. Joyce Meyer
#2058 God is changing you
day by day and you can still enjoy yourself while He is working! Joyce Meyer
#2059 God is faithful to
give us His love, grace and wisdom to reach out and be a blessing to others.
And when we do, we end up receiving more joy and peace than we had before.
Joyce Meyer
#2060 God is leading you
to something bigger and better. Joyce Meyer
#2061 God is more
concerned about your heart than your performance. If your heart is right, your
performance will eventually catch up. Joyce Meyer
#2062 God is never too
busy for you. Joyce Meyer
#2063 God is not glorified
by our suffering, but He is glorified when we have a good attitude during
suffering. Joyce Meyer
#2064 God is not looking
for someone with a perfect performance, but someone with a right heart. Joyce
Meyer
#2065 God is speaking to
us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for
whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about
whatever it is we’ve done or we are about to do. At times like this, it’s wise
to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions. Joyce
Meyer
#2066 God is the Champion
at bringing people from a place of destruction to a place of total victory. As
they reach that place of victory, they become trophies of His grace. And they
are set on the display as a fragrant reminder of God’s goodness. Joyce Meyer
#2067 God is with you, and
He will help you make spiritual progress - strengthening and encouraging you to
keep on keeping on during rough times. It’s easy to quit, but it takes faith to
press on to victory. Joyce Meyer
#2068 God is so in love
with you! Joyce Meyer
#2069 God knew you! He
knew what He was getting when He drew you into a relationship with Himself. He
already knows the things you will do wrong in the future. God is not as nearly
hard to get along with as you think He is. Joyce Meyer
#2070 God knows everything
you’ve been through and He’s able to help and heal you. Joyce Meyer
#2071 God knows me
completely, and yet He loves me. Joyce Meyer
#2072 God knows the mess
we’re in when He calls us. His light shines greater through ‘cracked pots’ than
it does through those who have it all together. Joyce Meyer
#2073 God loves me
unconditionally. Joyce Meyer
#2074 God loves us because
that is His nature. He is love (see 1 John 4:8). He may not always love
everything we do, but He does love us. God’s love is the power that forgives
our sins, heals our emotional wounds and mends our broken hearts (see Psalms 147:3).
God’s love is unconditional; it is based on Him, not us! Once you realize that
God loves you regardless of what you have or haven’t done, you can experience
incredible breakthrough. You can quit trying to earn His love and simply
receive it and enjoy it. Joyce Meyer
#2075 God loves us too
much to leave us alone in our messes and not keep bugging us to do things His
way. Joyce Meyer
#2076 God loves you … He
sees you … He understands your pain. You do matter, and the world is a better
place because you’re here! Joyce Meyer
#2077 God loves you as
much at this moment than He ever will in your whole life. Joyce Meyer
#2078 God loves you as
much on your worst day as He does on your best day. Joyce Meyer
#2079 God loves you
because He wants to. There is nothing you can do about it. He just loves you,
and if you want to miss out on it, that’s up to you, but God is going to love
you anyways. Joyce Meyer
#2080 God loves you so
much … always has, and always will. Joyce Meyer
#2081 God loves you so
much, and with His help you can control your tongue and be led by the Spirit
daily. Joyce Meyer
#2082 God meets all of my
needs abundantly. Joyce Meyer
#2083 God never meant for
us to strive and struggle. Joyce Meyer
#2084 God never promised a
trouble-free life. Joyce Meyer
#2085 God never promises
an easy life, but He does promise a blessed life. Joyce Meyer
#2086 God never tells us
to do anything without giving us the ability to do it. Joyce Meyer
#2087 God not only sees
what you have done, He sees what you will do with His help. Joyce Meyer
#2088 God not only sees
where you are right now, but He also sees where you can be. Joyce Meyer
#2089 God plants dreams in
people’s hearts. But many people do not continue all the way to the end in
order to follow Him to the fulfillment of that dream. Joyce Meyer
#2090 God uses the junk in
other people to pull the junk out of you. Joyce Meyer
#2091 God wants to “do
life” with you. That means He wants to be involved in every area, on your heart
and mind, all day long. As you give Him your attention, He will speak to your
heart and guide you with His wisdom. Joyce Meyer
#2092 God wants to help us
… He loves us … we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at
any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through
things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him
for help. Joyce Meyer
#2093 God wants to set you
free from battles in the mind and foreboding thoughts, and heal you of
addictive thought patterns and vain imaginations that exalt themselves above
the knowledge of God. Joyce Meyer
#2094 God wants to speak
to you on a one-to-one basis every day. He wants to lead you to the good things
He has in store for you. Joyce Meyer
#2095 God wants to take
you on the greatest journey of your life. Joyce Meyer
#2096 God wants to teach
you how to rest in Him. Everything you do—raising your children, being a good
husband, being a good wife, going to work, fulfilling God’s call on your
life—it all has to be done from a position of rest. Joyce Meyer
#2097 God wants to use you
to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you
will be because you reap what you sow. Joyce Meyer
#2098 God wants us to be
totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point. Joyce
Meyer
#2099 God wants you to be
delivered from what you have done and what has been done to you. Both are
equally important to Him. Joyce Meyer
#2100 God wants you to
enjoy your life now, not when. Joyce Meyer
#2101 God wants you to
trust Him to bring victory in every area of your life. By His grace, you can!
Joyce Meyer
#2102 God was serious
about me, but there was a time when I wasn’t serious about Him. I finally got
tired of having a mediocre life where I was miserable all the time, so I got
serious with God. Joyce Meyer
#2103 God will bring you
to your Promised Land. But first, you have to let go of what lies behind. Joyce
Meyer
#2104 God will give us
peace, but we must first give Him our worries. Joyce Meyer
#2105 God will give you
the power to have peace in the midst of the storm. Joyce Meyer
#2106 God will help us get
where we are going, but He can’t drive a parked car. Joyce Meyer
#2107 God will help you be
all you can be, but He will never let you be successful at becoming someone
else. Joyce Meyer
#2108 God will meet you
where you are and do something great if you let Him. Joyce Meyer
#2109 God will recompense
us double for all the trouble we went through, because He loves justice. Isaiah
61:7-8 Joyce Meyer
#2110 God will take care
of us and give us grace to have joy in the midst of any situation. Joyce Meyer
#2111 God will work
through our weaknesses and do absolutely jaw-dropping, amazing things in and
through us. Joyce Meyer
#2112 God, I don’t know
what to do about this situation, but I can’t fix it on my own. If You want me
to do something, I ask You to show me. Meanwhile, I’m going to trust You and
enjoy my life while You work on my problems. Joyce Meyer
#2113 God, I don’t want to
waste my time chasing cheap substitutes. You are the only one who can satisfy.
Show me how to daily find my true delight and satisfaction in You and only You.
Joyce Meyer
#2114 God’s first line of
defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer. Joyce Meyer
#2115 God’s grace and love
will help you respond with gentleness and compassion when you’re tempted to
return anger for anger. It’s better to throw water on the spark than fuel the
fire. Joyce Meyer
#2116 God’s grace is
amazing! We’re saved by grace – God’s undeserved favor – and we live by grace,
which is also God’s power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own
strength. And it’s all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally,
constantly and completely. Joyce Meyer
#2117 God’s grace will
never be available to you to become another person. He created you to be you –
the “best you” you can be! Forget about trying to be someone else. Joyce Meyer
#2118 God’s love for me is
perfect because it’s based on Him and not on me. So even when I failed, He kept
loving me. Joyce Meyer
#2119 God’s love is fresh
and new each morning. Joyce Meyer
#2120 God’s love is His
free gift to you, and He will heal you everywhere you hurt. Joyce Meyer
#2121 God’s love never
changes. Joyce Meyer
#2122 God’s not looking
for ability, He’s looking for availability. Joyce Meyer
#2123 God’s perfect,
unconditional love and faithfulness are what brought me through all of the
healing, restoration and breakthroughs I desperately needed so I could become
what He created me to be! Joyce Meyer
#2124 God’s power has
given us everything we need to live an amazing godly life. Joyce Meyer
#2125 God’s timing seems
to be His own little secret. The Bible promises us that He will never be late,
but I have also discovered that He is usually not early. It seems that He takes
every available opportunity to develop the fruit of patience in us. Joyce Meyer
#2126 God’s unconditional
love is a very difficult concept for people to accept because, in the world,
there’s always payment for everything we receive. It’s just how things work
here. But God is not like people! Joyce Meyer
#2127 God’s Word is a
border for my life. As long as I stay within the guidelines laid out in
Scripture, I’ll have what I need to do what I need to do. God is faithful and
true to His Word. Joyce Meyer
#2128 Good character is
not developed through ease and convenience, but through doing now what needs to
be done no matter how difficult it is. Joyce Meyer
#2129 Good intentions
never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut. Joyce Meyer
#2130 Good or bad, clean
or dirty, lost or found, every part of your life can be given to God. Joyce
Meyer
#2131 Good thinking begins
with a choice. Joyce Meyer
#2132 Grace equals
ability. God gives us grace to match our call. When we do our own thing, we do
it on our own. When we follow His leading, He always supplies the grace and the
energy to do what He’s calling us to do. Joyce Meyer
#2133 Grace is a gift.
Joyce Meyer
#2134 Grace is God’s power
to help us do whatever it is we need to do. Joyce Meyer
#2135 Grace is not the
freedom to sin; it is the power to live a holy life. Joyce Meyer
#2136 Grace justifies
sinners, but it never justifies sin. Joyce Meyer
#2137 Grace keeps us from
worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present
and future. Joyce Meyer
#2138 Gratitude is the
shortest path to happiness. Joyce Meyer
#2139 Grow fruit, not just
leaves. Joyce Meyer
#2140 Growth requires
facing where you’re at so you can go to the next level. Joyce Meyer
#2141 Happiness is not a
feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond
to a circumstance that now controls your happiness. Joyce Meyer
#2142 Harboring
unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die. Joyce
Meyer
#2143 Have God make a
message out of your mess. Joyce Meyer
#2144 Having a rough day?
Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? It’s called purpose. You’re alive
for a reason. Don’t give up. Joyce Meyer
#2145 He hears your
prayers. Joyce Meyer
#2146 He is always ready
and waiting to change us from the inside out. Joyce Meyer
#2147 He rescued me
because He delighted in me. Joyce Meyer
#2148 He will speak. He
will lead. He will guide. He will make His plans and desires clear. But He will
not force His will on us. We must consciously and deliberately choose to follow
Him. Joyce Meyer
#2149 Helplessness is a
place of power if you’re helpless before God. Ask God for help in everything
you do. Joyce Meyer
#2150 Here’s some
life-changing news: God will never reject you! Joyce Meyer
#2151 Hey you! You’re
beautiful and gorgeous in your own way. Don’t let anyone make you feel ugly,
because you’re perfect just the way you are. Joyce Meyer
#2152 His grace is enough.
Joyce Meyer
#2153 How one’s life turns
out is not dependent on what people do to us or what they don’t do for us.
Joyce Meyer
#2154 How we think about
ourselves is vitally important to our own self-image and affects every area of
our lives. Joyce Meyer
#2155 Humble people ask
for help. Joyce Meyer
#2156 Humility is not
something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be
pursued more than any other. Joyce Meyer
#2157 Humility may well be
one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us –
and to maintain. That’s because without humility, it’s not likely that you will
put your complete trust in God. Joyce Meyer
#2158 I am a disciplined
and self-controlled person. Joyce Meyer
#2159 I am bold and
courageous! Joyce Meyer
#2160 I am content and
emotionally stable. Joyce Meyer
#2161 I am dead to sin and
alive unto righteousness. Joyce Meyer
#2162 I am difficult to
offend. Joyce Meyer
#2163 I am free! Joyce
Meyer
#2164 I am loved. Joyce
Meyer
#2165 I am not going to
let my emotions manage me, I am going to manage them. Joyce Meyer
#2166 I am not promising
that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things
that God knows would not be good for us. Joyce Meyer
#2167 I am radically,
insanely, nutty in love with Jesus! Joyce Meyer
#2168 I believe confidence
is all about being positive concerning what you can do – and not worrying over
what you can’t do. A confident person is open to learning, because she knows
that her confidence allows her to walk through life’s doorways, eager to
discover what waits on the other side. She knows that every new unknown is a
chance to learn more about herself and unleash her abilities. Joyce Meyer
#2169 I believe many
people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that
said, “God is not mad at you.” Within a few hours, we literally had thousands
of positive responses from people saying things like, “That is exactly what I
needed to hear today.” Obviously, this is the message we need to hear. Joyce
Meyer
#2170 I believe one of the
best things you can do for an angry person is to show them by example that
there is a better way to live and behave. Joyce Meyer
#2171 I believe that a
trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let
go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust
God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for
something … it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting. Joyce
Meyer
#2172 I believe that
everyone experiences depression to some degree at some time in their lives. And
there are probably millions of people who live with a low level of sadness and
heaviness day in and day out. Joyce Meyer
#2173 I believe we live in
a love-starved society. Everywhere you go there are probably people who haven’t
had the right kind of love in their lives. Joyce Meyer
#2174 I can do whatever I
need to do in life through Christ. Joyce Meyer
#2175 I can honestly tell
you that without God I would not be who I am today. He has done such an amazing
work in my life and I want everyone to have the same freedom. Joyce Meyer
#2176 I can tell you from
experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author
of all true success and everything that is good – without Him, we can do
nothing of true value. Joyce Meyer
#2177 I can’t very well be
teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be
consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you. Joyce Meyer
#2178 I consider wisdom
supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God. Joyce Meyer
#2179 I didn’t really
understand the importance of little things. I didn’t really understand that it
was the little foxes that spoil the vine. And if we’re not faithful in little
things, that God will never be able to make us ruler over great things. Joyce
Meyer
#2180 I don’t just pray
for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors. Joyce Meyer
#2181 I don’t need to do
something important to be important … I am important because God loves me and
He sent Jesus to die for me. Joyce Meyer
#2182 I don’t think even
ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence
at all. Joyce Meyer
#2183 I don’t think
there’s anyone who would say they don’t want or need more of God’s power in
their life. Joyce Meyer
#2184 I encourage you to
be a person who is not afraid of responsibility. In meeting resistance, you
will build your strength. If you only do what is easy, you will always remain
weak. Joyce Meyer
#2185 I encourage you to
focus on relationship with Jesus rather than the rules of religion. Joyce Meyer
#2186 I encourage you to
form a habit of going to God in prayer the moment anything troubles you. Joyce
Meyer
#2187 I enjoy being a
blessing to others. Everything I lay my hand to prospers and succeeds. Joyce
Meyer
#2188 I felt like life was
ordering me around rather than me ordering my life, and I knew something was
wrong. Joyce Meyer
#2189 I have discovered
that God will take my mistakes and turn them into miracles, if I continue to
trust confidently in Him! Joyce Meyer
#2190 I have hidden Your
Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Psalms 119:11). Joyce Meyer
#2191 I have learned from
personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some
unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to
understand everything … to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.
Joyce Meyer
#2192 I have learned that
I really do have discipline, self-control, and patience. But they were given to
me as a seed, and it’s up to me to choose to develop them. Joyce Meyer
#2193 I have to be willing
to finish what I start. God uses committed people who aren’t led by emotion.
It’s easy to be excited in the beginning when something is new, but the ones
who cross the finish line are the ones who hang in there when no one else is
excited anymore. Joyce Meyer
#2194 I just really
believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of
us trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to
really be hungry and see their neediness. Joyce Meyer
#2195 I know from personal
experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I
like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it
really is that harmful to us to live this way. Joyce Meyer
#2196 I like to talk to
myself ahead of time so when temptation comes, I’ve already made up my mind
that I have the victory! Joyce Meyer
#2197 I live in the
present and enjoy each moment. Joyce Meyer
#2198 I love people and
enjoy helping them. Joyce Meyer
#2199 I make mistakes
every day. I’m not perfect in my behavior, but I want to be and that’s what God
is after … a heart that wants to be. Joyce Meyer
#2200 I might not be where
I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be. I’m okay and I’m on my
way! Joyce Meyer
#2201 I need your help,
Lord, to face the truth about myself. It’s time to stop blaming my problems on
my past and on other people, and to meet them head-on with the power of Your
Word. Empower me to take responsibility and to change for the better. Joyce
Meyer
#2202 I pray while
driving. I pray while working, and relaxing. Joyce Meyer
#2203 I pursue peace with
God, myself and others. Joyce Meyer
#2204 I put God first in
my life. Joyce Meyer
#2205 I rescued you
because I (God) delighted in you. Joyce Meyer
#2206 I spent most of the
early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us
probably do that, hoping to change ourselves. Joyce Meyer
#2207 I tell people, and
it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car.
And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a
servant of Christ. Joyce Meyer
#2208 I think happiness is
a goal all of us can agree on. Let’s face it – we all would like to be happy.
Joyce Meyer
#2209 I think the
perception of peace is what distracts most people from really having it. Joyce
Meyer
#2210 I trust God
completely, there’s no need to worry. Joyce Meyer
#2211 I used to have a
real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I
would attend. Joyce Meyer
#2212 I used to let other
people’s struggles affect my happiness. If they weren’t happy, there was no way
I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn’t happy, I
didn’t want anyone around me being happy. Joyce Meyer
#2213 I used to worry
about every little thing, trying to figure out every problem. Well, I realize
now how foolish that I was. I was no more in control of my life than the man on
the moon. Joyce Meyer
#2214 I want my love for
Jesus to be reflected in the way I show love for others, even those who may be
difficult to love. If I can soften one hard heart with the love of God, maybe
the person will soften another’s heart with love, then that one will reach out
to others, and so on and so on … And soon we’ll have a love revolution! Joyce
Meyer
#2215 I want the world to
know I’m totally committed to a living Savior who lives and breathes and walks
in us. Joyce Meyer
#2216 I want to dedicate
the rest of my life to spreading the love of Christ. Because God has done so
much for me and has given me this platform to speak into millions of lives, I
feel it is my duty. Joyce Meyer
#2217 I want to encourage
you to place yourself totally into God’s hands and allow Him to be the Manager
of your life. Joyce Meyer
#2218 I want to let you in
on a little secret: I don’t always feel like I’m a success. That’s right. There
are plenty of times when I feel like I’ve just totally messed up and failed to
connect with the people I’m trying to communicate with. Joyce Meyer
#2219 I want to look my
best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian
you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, do not do anything to your hair,
have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how
many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, “Yeah, give me
some of that.” Joyce Meyer
#2220 I want you to know
how good God is and that your struggle is worth it. Your journey is worth it.
Don’t give up! Don’t give up! Joyce Meyer
#2221 I was tormented with
guilt for years and years. In fact, it was so bad that if I didn’t feel wrong,
I didn’t feel right! Joyce Meyer
#2222 I will expect great
things! Joyce Meyer
#2223 I will not live in
fear. Joyce Meyer
#2224 I will rise to the
occasion. Joyce Meyer
#2225 I will seek God
first and trust Him to provide my needs. Joyce Meyer
#2226 I wonder how many
decisions we make every day. I believe it’s probably hundreds. We decide
whether or not to get out of bed, what we will eat, what we will do, what we
will think about, what we will say … and on and on. Joyce Meyer
#2227 I wonder how many
times people give up just before a breakthrough – when they are on the very
brink of success. Joyce Meyer
#2228 I wonder how many
whales swallowed me up before I finally said, “God is God, and I might as well
do things His way” (Jonah 1:17). Joyce Meyer
#2229 I would rather stay
positive and get fifty percent good results, than stay negative and get one
hundred percent bad results. Joyce Meyer
#2230 I’m amazed sometimes
by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and
bless them. Joyce Meyer
#2231 I’m going to hope,
believe and step out on the promises of God. Joyce Meyer
#2232 I’m just telling
you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not
understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any
understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where
we understand the deeper things of God. Joyce Meyer
#2233 I’m not responsible
to make everybody like me; I’m responsible to be the unique person God created
me to be. Joyce Meyer
#2234 I’m nothing without
You, but everything in You. Joyce Meyer
#2235 I’m only going to
stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else’s life.
If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there’s no point in me blaming you
for what’s wrong in my life. Joyce Meyer
#2236 I’m putting God
first. Joyce Meyer
#2237 I’m ready to say
“I’m sorry”. Joyce Meyer
#2238 I’m sure most
parents read to their children to explain what certain things mean. So books
are a good way to convey a message to anybody. Everybody reads. Joyce Meyer
#2239 I’ve been saying for
a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning
box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday
morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency,
but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Joyce Meyer
#2240 I’ve been studying
the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of
diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any progress. There
were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn’t feel like
I was getting anywhere. Joyce Meyer
#2241 I’ve discovered that
when we take time to renew our minds with God’s Word, we learn how to think
like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act. Joyce
Meyer
#2242 I’ve learned that
life is tough, but I’m tougher. Joyce Meyer
#2243 I’ve learned that
usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am. Joyce Meyer
#2244 I’ve learned through
my relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect. He wants me
to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through
His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart. Joyce Meyer
#2245 I’ve taught a lot
about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God. Joyce
Meyer
#2246 If God asks you to
do something hard, it’s only going to make things better. Joyce Meyer
#2247 If God be for us,
who can be against us? Joyce Meyer
#2248 If God can’t get you
to obey Him concerning your money, He won’t get to anything else you’ve got.
Joyce Meyer
#2249 If God changes your
heart, be willing to change your plans. Joyce Meyer
#2250 If God has placed
you in a situation, He is going to give you a special grace to be there. Joyce
Meyer
#2251 If Jesus could
satisfy a hungry crowd, just imagine what He could do for your hungry soul.
Joyce Meyer
#2252 If selfishness is
the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy!
Joyce Meyer
#2253 If shame is
attacking you, it’s time to remember the truth: God loves you, and if you’ll
believe in, adhere to, trust in and rely on Him, He will take your shame away.
Joyce Meyer
#2254 If someone decides
they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to spend
your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay
in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into
their self-pity. Joyce Meyer
#2255 If someone has
offended you, start sowing forgiveness. You may need some yourself someday.
Joyce Meyer
#2256 If someone you know
makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn’t mean you have to allow
that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else’s bad decisions
to send you into a tailspin of misery? Joyce Meyer
#2257 If we are hungry
enough for God, we will find a way into His Presence. We should be so hungry
for the Presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or
tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him. Joyce Meyer
#2258 If we are not
thinking, hoping or asking for anything, we are cheating ourselves. We need to
think BIG thoughts, hope for BIG things, and ask for BIG things! Joyce Meyer
#2259 If we are to receive
the blessings God wants to bestow upon us, we must be willing to give Him the
messes in our lives. Joyce Meyer
#2260 If we continue to
believe God and place our trust in Him, bad things ultimately give way to
better things. Joyce Meyer
#2261 If we didn’t
struggle through some things, we would never develop the strength and stamina
we need to survive in this world. Joyce Meyer
#2262 If we do our best,
God will do the rest. Joyce Meyer
#2263 If we live a
self-directed, self-motivated, self-centered life, always needing to get our
own way, then we’re going to be miserable. In fact, many times we believe it’s
our problems that are making us unhappy when, in reality, it’s because we’re focused
on ourselves! Joyce Meyer
#2264 If we make right
spiritual decisions—deciding to put God first in all things—then the rest of
our decisions will be easier. Joyce Meyer
#2266 The Lord will fight
for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14
#2267 We cannot exercise
our faith beyond what we believe to be possible. John G. Lake
#2268 Death and life are
in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:21
#2269 Doors are opening.
You are moving into a season of open doors. Every door you stand before shall
be opened for you! Dr. Bill Winston
#2270 You may not feel
able in yourself, but the Greater One lives in you and He makes you able.
Gloria Copeland
#2271 The Name of God is
higher than any other name, including sickness.
#2273 So shall My Word be
that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall
accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent
it. Isaiah 55:11
#2274
When we look to God as our source, it is not hard to believe His will. George
Pearsons
#2275 While it looks like
things are out of control, behind the scenes there is a God who has not
surrendered His authority. A.W. Tozer
#2276 “I will make you a
great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a
blessing. Genesis 12:2
#2277 When we spend time
praying, reading God’s Word, and living in the Spirit, our thinking begins to
change.
#2278
Giving thanks to the Lord changes us from the inside out! George Pearsons
#2279 There is no joy
without gratitude.
#2280 Faithful is He who
calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:24
#2281 Sometimes your only
available transportation is a leap of faith. Margaret Shepard
#2282 Those who wait on
the Lord shall mount up with wings as eagles.
#2283 So shall you serve
the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take
sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be
barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days. Exodus 23:25-26

Anxious and fearful thoughts are toxins to the body. George Pearsons
#2285 The words that I
(Jesus) speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:63
#2286 The Lord your God is
gracious and merciful and will not turn away His face from you. 2 Chronicles
30:9
#2287 Wherefore seeing we
also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:1-2
#2288 Let us therefore
come boldly unto the Throne of Grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace
to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
#2289 So if the Son sets

Fear focuses on the dreaded outcome instead of the desired result. George
Pearsons

merciful and forgiving. Daniel 9:9

endeavoring to make His plan a reality in your life. Gloria Copeland

My Word to perform it!” Jeremiah 1:12
#2296 The blessing of the

covenant forever, the promises He made for a thousand generations.
#2300 The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;

bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18-19
#2301
We will never walk in the fullness of health until we possess it by faith.
George Pearsons
#2302 When
you’re praying in other tongues, you are reaching back through time and space
to the very moment when God first spoke out the future plan for your
deliverance, and bringing it into your present situation. George Pearsons
#2303 Every
woman in the Body of Christ is called to spiritual motherhood. George Pearsons
#2304 Women
of God, take up the calling of spiritual motherhood today. Your spiritual
children are waiting for your direction, guidance and love. George Pearsons
#2305
Spiritual motherhood, is not dependent upon women having natural children. All
Christian women are called to become mothers in the faith. George Pearsons
#2306 I am
thriving, not just surviving. I am flourishing and not failing. I believe I
receive supernatural provision, an unlimited, overwhelming supply that comes
from above. Provision is coming to me from a higher place, in a higher way,
from God’s riches in glory. I am not limited to this natural world. I expect
God to provide. I believe all things are possible. My mind is being renewed to
His supernatural provision, because He is my supernatural provider. In Jesus’
Name. George Pearsons
#2307 Stay in
a constant state of “God’s open hand”. George Pearsons
#2308 Hebrews 11:1 tells
us, "Faith is confidence in what we hope for
and assurance about what we do not see." We live out our faith in ways big
and small—being patient in times of waiting and longing, praying for guidance
when making decisions, loving our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31), striking
up a conversation with a stranger when we feel the Spirit's stirring, forgiving others, being aware
of God's presence as we go about the day, bringing our questions and laments to
Him, and so much more. What we believe in a spiritual sense lights the way for
our daily choices and habits.
#2309 The kind of
spiritual life and disciplines needed to
sustain the Christian life are quiet,
repetitive, and ordinary. I often want to skip the boring, daily stuff to get
to the thrill of an edgy faith. But it’s in the dailyness of the Christian
faith—the making the bed, the doing the dishes, the praying for our enemies,
the reading the Bible, the quiet, the
small—that God’s transformation takes root and grows. Tish Harrison Warren
#2310 Faith is not
believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God
when everything in me trembles and quakes. Beth Moore
#2311 Faith, in the sense
in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your
reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. C.S. Lewis
#2312 Faith is to believe
what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Saint
Augustine
#2313 I don't think that
we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have
to have faith. Nicholas Sparks
#2314 True faith rests
upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections
of the One who cannot lie. A.W. Tozer
#2315 Faith is taking the
first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. Martin Luther King, Jr.
#2316 We can look at Job,
we can look at Lamentations, we can look at the Psalms, we can look at so many
heroes of the faith who at different times had questions, who faced unbelief,
yet God kept them, and they continued, in their doubts, to lean towards God, to
lean and doubt in a way that continued to keep them attached to the vine and
seeking Jesus in all of it. Laura Wifler
#2317 We walk by faith and
not by sight. All good things come from our Father, including our faith to
believe. Trillia Newbell
#2318 What is your
purpose? Why are you here? Start small and find out. Nannie Helen Burroughs
#2319 Faith is about
doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe. Mitch Albom
#2320 Faith is not
contrary to reason. Sherwood Eddy
#2321 In faith there is
enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those
who don't. Blaise Pascal
#2322 You do not need to
know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you
need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present
moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. Thomas Merton
#2323 Every single thing
He has ever or will ever say is true. The simplicity of faith is this: taking
God’s Word for it. Jackie Hill Perry
#2324 Faith is the
strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. Helen Keller
#2325 Faith is a state of
openness or trust. Alan Watts
#2326 Sometimes the worst
conditions can often provide the best atmosphere to act in faith. God doesn't
want our confidence regulated by our audience. If faith-discouragers can shake
our confidence badly enough to disable us, our confidence may be in ourselves
instead of God. Beth Moore
#2327 We can let go of
burdens like condemnation and worry, perfectionism and insecurity. And we can
cling desperately—even through tears—to the assurance that God knows, he cares,
and he loves us with an infinite love. We can lay our burdens at the feet of
Christ and receive what He offers instead. Sarah J. Hauser
#2328 Any faith that must
be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith. A.W. Tozer
#2329 To love means loving
the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means
believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
G.K. Chesterton
#2330 All I have seen
teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson
#2331 To have faith in
Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense
in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus, if you
have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to
obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things
in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping
to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in
a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you. C.S.
Lewis
#2332 It is a blessing for
our children to see us live out our faith—trusting in God’s good character and
provision—even when we don’t have all the answers. Marissa Bondurant
#2333 Of all the things
the serpent could come for, it is our faith he attacks most. Jackie Hill Perry
#2334 I have not lost
faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer
to him for that reason. Elie Wiesel
#2335 Every tomorrow has
two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of
faith. Henry Ward Beecher
#2336 The answer to our
fears is faith—real, fear-shrinking faith—in the God who loves us and gave
himself for us. — Jani Ortlund
#2337 In this hour, I do
not believe that any darkness will endure. J.R.R. Tolkien
#2338 Every experience God
gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the
future that only He can see. Corrie ten Boom
#2339 I am fundamentally
an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of
being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet
moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely
tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays
defeat and death. Nelson Mandela
#2340 We’re often
intimidated in battle because we are uncertain of our faith. We must remember
we don’t stand in victory because of our faith. We stand in victory because of
our God. Faith in faith is pointless. Faith in a living, active God moves
mountains. Beth Moore
#2341 The new life into
which we are baptized is lived out in days, hours, and minutes. God is forming
us into a new people. And the place of that formation is in the small moments
of today. Tish Harrison Warren
#2342 Just as love is a
verb, so is faith. Nannie Helen Burroughs
#2343 Life is full of
happiness and tears; be strong and have faith.
#2344 Without faith,
nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.
#2345 The Lord is faithful
to those who are faithful and earnestly seek Him.
#2346 Faith is
unquestioning belief.
#2347 Faith gives you
inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.
#2348 Believe in yourself,
and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard,
and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
#2349 I believe in
Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else. C.S. Lewis
#2350 Faith is building on
what you know is here so you can reach what you know is there.
#2351 A grateful heart is
a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation
for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment,
happiness, love, and well-being.
#2352 Faithless is he that
says farewell when the road darkens.
#2353 It is the things
that we go through that prove our faith and test our godly character.
#2354 Keep faith. The most
amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you’re about to give
up hope.
#2355 If one has faith,
one has everything.
#2356 If you lose faith,
you lose all. Eleanor Roosevelt
#2357 Don’t
be afraid to step out in faith for God. Olivia Hope
#2358 Choose
faith instead of fear and life will become a lot more fun. Dave Willis
#2359 None
of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward.
Because we trust. Because we have faith.
#2360 The reason birds can
fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith
is to have wings.
#2361 Faith does not
eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them. Elisabeth Elliot
#2362 God
never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know
this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves. A.W. Tozer
#2363 Otherwise
without faith it becomes very difficult to keep pushing forward every day.
#2364 Let us keep moving,
I urged them, with the faith that what we are doing is right, and with the even
greater faith that God is with us in the struggle. Martin Luther King
Jr.
#2365 Only in the darkness
can you see the stars. Martin Luther King Jr.
#2366 You
cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
William
Faulkner
#2367 You
can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.
#2368 Great things happen
to those who don’t stop believing, trying, learning, and being grateful.
#2369 It’s faith in
something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living. Oliver Wendell Holmes
Sr.
#2370 Worrying
is arrogant because God knows what He’s doing.
#2371 Have faith to
believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.
#2372 There is never a
moment when God is not in control. Relax! He’s got you covered. Mandy Hale
#2373 To
fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed, not in
darkness, but in light. Mother Teresa
#2374 You block your dream
when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.
#2375 Faith is a knowledge
within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
#2376 Faith is a choice to
trust God even when the road ahead seems uncertain. Dave Willis
#2377 Faith is believing
that the outcome will be what it should be, no matter what it is.
#2378 To one who has
faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is
possible.
#2379 If you will believe
and stay in faith, and expect good things, you too can defy the odds. Joel Osteen
#2380 To me faith means
not worrying.
#2381 Feed your faith and
your fear will starve.
#2382 See the best. Forgive
the worst. Forget the bad. Always have faith.
#2384 Rest in the fact that the weaker you are, the more help God
will give you. Keep your eyes on His faithfulness not on your own! That's how
you enter the rest of faith. You won't have to struggle. You'll just trust God
and expect Him to bring to pass everything He has promised. Lynne Hammond
#2385
To keep praying in faith in spite of adverse circumstances, you must not only
know what the Bible promises you, you must see a clear, inner image of that
promise being fulfilled. It must shine within you so brightly it chases away
every shadow of doubt. Lynne Hammond
#2386
Hope is praying for rain, but
faith is bringing an umbrella. Unknown
#2387 Once you choose
hope, anything’s possible. Christopher Reeve
#2388 Faith is being sure
of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
#2389 The
forces that are for you are greater than the forces against you. Joel Osteen
#2390 Did
you know that faith and expectation are not the same thing? I’ve had people
say, “Well, if you believe, surely you expect,” but that’s not true. Although
they are closely linked, faith and expectation are distinctly different. Mac
Hammond
#2391 Many people have
come to believe that the Bible is true. They have faith in promises such as 1
Peter 2:24: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that
we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed.” They believe it’s a provision of the Word that God heals, but
they don’t expect healing to manifest in their own lives. It’s almost as though
they’ve been sick for so long that they simply cannot imagine they could ever
get better. Mac Hammond
#2392 Now, faith does have
to come first before expectation can exist. If you don’t believe that it’s the
will of God for you to be healed, it’s highly doubtful you’ll expect to be
healed. Expectation is built on faith, but faith doesn’t imply expectation is
there. Faith can exist without expectation, but expectation can’t exist without
faith. Mac Hammond
#2393 So faith comes
first. When you read the Word, decide to believe that it is a revelation of
truth. Next, look at your expectation. Do you really expect what you read in
the Bible to happen in your own life? Do you really expect your boss to find
great favor with you? Do you really expect to become heirs together of the
grace of this life with your spouse, even if your marriage has been challenged
with conflict and schism for years? You can and you should because your
experience of life depends on it. Mac Hammond
#2394 For surely there is
an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18 KJV
#2395 Did you know that
you can pray in tongues and receive understanding about your future? As we
pointed out earlier, every time you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit is praying
through you the perfect will of God, sometimes for other people, often for your
own life. It is the Holy Spirit’s job to reveal God’s will to you for
your life as you do so.
#2396 “Why can’t God just
send some preacher to me who will tell me God’s will?” Look at 1 Corinthians
2:8. Which none of the princes
of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the
Lord of glory. (KJV) If the enemy would have known what God had
planned for the future, he would have never crucified Jesus. The implication is
the same for you. If the enemy knew God’s plan for your life, he would put up
roadblocks and try to stop what God wanted to do. That’s why God is going to reveal
His will to you this way. He will give you the interpretation of what the
Spirit is praying about so you can get glimpses of His will and begin building
images of your future on the basis of that revealed will.
#2397 For 40 years, every
good idea and every good sermon I’ve had has come this way. I take time to
refill my tank by praying in tongues during my time with the Lord in the
morning. What am I actually doing? I’m speaking to myself in the Holy Ghost.
I’m speaking in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I’m speaking the perfect
will of God for my life. As I continue knowing that I can interpret what He’s
praying through me, I’ll begin to get ideas of what that will is, answers to
problems, sermon ideas, etc.
What happens as you
receive these ideas? Momentum is generated in that direction.
#2398 When we started this
ministry years ago, I had a young man come to me and say, “I know I’m supposed
to be an evangelist. I keep seeing myself preaching to 100,000 people in a
football stadium. It almost seems stupid and foolish. I just got out of high school.
I don’t have any training. I don’t know what to do next to take my life in that
direction. Is this some kind of folly or deception I’m into?”
#2399 I said, “No. You’re
on the right track. The more you refine that vision, the more momentum it will
give to your life. Spend time praying about this in the Holy Ghost. Let God add
little elements to this picture. How many hundreds of thousands do you see coming
to get saved? How many people are getting healed? What do you see physically
about the stadium? Refine the vision and see it as clearly as you can because
it has the capacity to generate direction in your life toward that very thing,
even if you don’t yet know what to do next week or the month after that. This
is how God orders your steps to take you toward His plan for your life.”
#2400 It’s time we start
talking to ourselves and clearly defining the imagery that is going to
represent our future. Let’s picture our lives lived out God’s way as clearly as
we can. When the enemy generates negative imagery through an evil report or
through circumstance you’re dealing with, talk to yourself. Let it be the first
thing you do. Look at what you’re facing and say, “No! I rebuke that. That’s
not who I am in Christ. I know who I am. I am the healed. I’m not sick.”
#2401 If there are gaps in
your imagery for the future, pray in tongues. God will reveal more and more of
those pieces to you, and you can fill in that picture until it’s crystal clear
and sharp. As you do this, you’ll create momentum and direction that will move
your life down the path of His will, blessed in everything that you do. Mac
Hammond
#2402 A lot of people
think they are in faith when they pray, but nothing happens. Since we know the
sending end has already been taken care of, let’s look at some potential
problems on the receiving end.
#2403 First of all, if
fear is present, you may not get your healing. The presence of fear or anxiety
tells you your faith hasn’t matured yet because the force of fear is the
antithesis of the force of faith. You cannot have fear operating in the same heart
where there is faith. We may say, “I have a lot of faith, but I am a little
afraid.” Where fear has taken root, there is not enough faith to produce the
provision God intends.
#2404 We can deal with the
matter of fear by hearing more Word. If you are afraid, immerse yourself in the
Word. Find friends who will speak the Word like you believe. Put the Word in
your mouth. Read more Word. Listen to some CDs. Get in church an extra time a
week.
#2405 That may sound
extreme to you, but realize it took you plenty of years to get a belief system
that was wrong. It’s going to take effort to get a belief system that is right.
The enemy is a proficient enemy. He is proficient at finding those little
points where you might fear, which are usually different than what somebody
else fears. Whatever your point is that produces anxiety or fear, when you
sense it, shut the door on it. Get in the Word. Get in church. Get with those
friends you have who are going to reinforce that truth, because fear is the
first red flag in your life that you’re not where you want to be in your faith.
#2406 Don’t wait to see
until you believe. The second consideration I want to remind you of is in John
20:29. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (KJV)
#2407 Blessed means
empowered. He who believes and has not seen is empowered. If the only way
you’re really going to believe God heals is when you see it, then you’re not
where you need to be in faith. If the only way you can feel the joy of God’s
provision in your life is when you see it, you are not in faith. Faith wouldn’t
even be required if that was the case. Faith by definition believes when you
can’t see anything. It doesn’t matter why you haven’t seen the result you want,
even if you’ve been believing for a year or many years.
#2408 Is there a time
limit when you’re going to quit believing? If you don’t see your bank balance
get better within 12 months, are you going to stop tithing? Where does that
place come where you’re not going to believe anymore because you haven’t seen it?
Well, let me tell you what, you don’t have enough faith right now for God to
intervene in your life if there’s a time limit attached. Faith is so convinced
of the truth of God’s Word that it believes regardless of whether or not it’s
seen.
#2409 Are you where you
need to be in your faith? Fear is the first red flag. Seeing in order to
believe is the second red flag. The third for me would be to say, “It’s not the
Lord’s timing yet.” I’ve said that before. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet because
the Lord is going to demonstrate some things to people who need to see and know
about it. I’ve even had the thought, Lord, I’ve made some mistakes. Is this the
consequence of those mistakes that I have to see my way through for a season?
No. The will of the Lord is now. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you
are. A season of time often passes because of where we are at that point in our
lives, but it doesn’t have to. God wants you well now.
#2410 There are other
considerations about whether or not you’re in faith that I’m sure you can think
of. For now, I’ll close by reminding you of what we’ve learned throughout these
articles from the leper in Matthew chapter 8. First of all, worship needs to be
part of your life. This is where you gain your connection with God.
#2411 Secondly, genuine
worship is impossible without humility. We must get over what other people
might think in any regard. Lastly, you have to be ultimately, totally,
completely, and absolutely settled on the will of God. It is God’s will that
you be healed.
These are the
considerations the leper had in place before Jesus healed him. As you have
these considerations in place in your life, God will say to you as well, “I
will heal you. Be thou clean.”
#2412 God loves us. His
love is the power behind our faith. Galations 5:6. Gloria Copeland
#2413 Stop being afraid of
what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right.
#2414 God is faithful, and
He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing He
will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.
#2415 Accept what’s
happening in your life right now, put what has happened behind you. Let it all
go and have faith that good things are coming your way.
#2416 Faith … it’s all
about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you know it will.
#2417 Everything will work
out in the end. You don’t need to know how. You just need to trust God and
believe that it will.
#2418 Your mind will
always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it
with love.
#2419 Every day do
something that will lead you closer to God.
#2420 Even in darkness, I
need not be afraid. He is there guiding me, watching over me, keeping me safe,
allowing me to do the very thing He called me to do.
#2421 Faith isn’t about
asking God to stop the storm. Faith is about trusting God to help you through
the storm. Just believe!
#2422 I will walk by faith
even when I cannot see. 2 Corinthians 5:7
#2423 Faith is a choice,
not a feeling. It means choosing to trust God even when life doesn’t seem to
make sense.
#2424 Speak with wisdom
and faithful instruction.
#2425 Sometimes the best
thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just
breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
#2426 Faith is not about
everything turning out okay. Faith is about being okay no matter how things
work out.
#2427 Faith does not make
things easy, it makes them possible.
#2428 In happy moments,
praise God. In difficult moments, seek God. In quiet moments, worship God. In
painful moments, trust God. In every moment, thank God.
#2429 Let your faith be
bigger than your fear.
#2430 Accept what’s
happening in your life right now, put what has happened behind you, let it all
go and have faith that good things are coming your way.
#2431 Believe God will do
what He promised, regardless of today’s circumstances.
#2432 To trust God in the
light is nothing. But trust Him in the dark, that is faith.
#2433 God uses our trials
to build our faith, draw us closer to Him, and give us a testimony of His
faithfulness for others to see.
#2434 Courage doesn’t
always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
“I will try again tomorrow.”
#2435 Don’t give up before
the miracle happens.
#2436 Keep the faith. The
most amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you’re about to
give up hope.
#2437 Have faith that
everything will work out.
#2438 Miracles always
happen when you believe.
#2439 God has a reason for
allowing things to happen. We may never understand His wisdom, but we simply
have to trust His will.
#2440 Faith is thanking
God for your miracle before it has happened.
#2441 A grateful heart is
a magnet for miracles.
#2442 Never stop believing
in hope because miracles happen every day.
#2443 Have faith in God.
Miracles happen.
#2444 Tonight while you
sleep, God is going to perform miracles for you.
#2445 You will face your
greatest opposition when you are closest to your biggest miracle.
#2446 There are two ways
to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as
though everything is a miracle.
#2447 Life is a series of
tiny little miracles. Notice them.
#2448 Open your heart and
invite God into every circumstance because when God enters the scene, miracles
happen.
#2449 Never lose hope,
never give up on your faith, and never stop believing in your dreams because
miracles do happen; you just need to believe in yourself.
#2450 Stop being afraid of
what could go wrong and think of what could go right.
#2451 There is no need to
rush. Go with the flow. Have faith. Be adaptable. Always keep learning and
never give up.
#2452 One day you will
thank yourself for never giving up.
#2453 Life is a circle of
happiness, sadness, hard times, and good times. If you are going through hard

you replace tears with prayer and fear with faith.
#2455 Your faith in God is
what will keep you steady on your walk in life.
#2456 When you have faith,
everything is possible.
#2457 Overthinking is the
biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off
things that don’t help you. Think positively.
#2458 Faith is simply
confidence in the trustworthiness of God.
#2459 The most amazing
things in life happen when we’re about to give up. Keep the faith.
#2460 Optimism is the
faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and
confidence.

see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life
depends on the quality of your thoughts.
#2462 Accept what is, let
go of what was, and have faith in what will be.
#2463 Turn your worry into
worship and watch God turn your battles into blessings.
#2464 Faith it till you
make it!
#2465 God uses our trials
to build our faith, draw us closer to Him, and give us a testimony of His
faithfulness for others to see.
#2466 Faith is trusting
God even when you don’t understand His plan.
#2467 Faith is all about
believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you know it will.
#2468 Faith tells me that
no matter what lies ahead of me, God is already there.
#2469 My faith does not
rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
#2470 God does not want
you to try harder, He wants you to trust Him deeper. Stop trying. Start
trusting. This will change everything in you.
#2471 Faith is not an
emotion, it’s a decision to stand on God’s Word.
#2472 Trust in the Lord
with all your heart. He will show you the way. Proverbs 3:5-6
#2473 A negative mind will
never give you a positive life.
#2474 Be of good cheer.
The future is as bright as your faith.
#2475 If you want to
achieve success, then don’t doubt your dreams.
#2476 Faith is having the
courage to let God have control.
#2477 If God answers your
prayers, He is increasing your faith. If He delays, He is increasing your
patience. If He doesn’t answer, He has something better for you.
#2478 Faith is about
trusting God even when you don’t understand His plan.
#2479 Don’t worry. God is
never blind to your tears, never deaf to your prayers, and never silent to your
pain. He sees, He hears, and He will deliver.
#2480 There is no obstacle
too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.
#2481 Life isn’t about
finding yourself, it is about discovering who God created you to be.
#2482 When you focus on
your problems, it gives you more problems. When you focus on God, He gives you
solutions.
#2483 True peace comes
from knowing that God is in control.
#2484 When God decides to
bless you, He will cause situations to come together in your favor … no matter
what others try to do.
#2485 Because of your
faith it will happen.
#2486 Never lose hope.
Just when you think it’s over, God sends you a miracle.
#2487 God has something
great in your future. Isaiah 43:19
#2488 Faith is a real
power, not just an expression of belief.
#2489 You may be in a
tough time, but the enemy always fights you the hardest when He knows God has
something great in store for you.
#2490 Faith goes up the
stairs that love has built, and looks out the windows which hope has opened.
#2491 I have learned that
faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse.
#2492 I have faith that
God is living out a divine plan through me. Have faith in God. Mark 11:22
#2493 Worrying doesn’t
change anything, but trusting in God changes everything.
#2494 Faith is the only
thing I know of that is stronger than fear.
#2495 Doubt your doubts
before you doubt your faith.
#2496 God has brought you
through before, and He will bring you through again. Make a decision each day
to choose faith over fear. Joel Osteen
#2497 The best thing about
telling the truth is that you don’t have to remember what you said.
#2498 There’s always a
way, if you’re committed.
#2499 Every day is another
chance to change your life.
#2500 Life is a balance between
holding on and letting go.
#2501 Believe you can and
you’re halfway there.
#2502 If God brings you to
it, He will bring you through it.
#2503 Life is like riding
a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
#2504 Be strong. You never
know who you are inspiring.
#2505 Just when you think
God is not listening to your prayers, He sends a reminder that He is always
there for you.
#2506 Prayer is bringing
your wishes and worries to God; faith is leaving them there.
#2507 When I am afraid, I
will trust in You. Psalms 56:3
#2508 God has already
worked it out. Stop worrying.
#2509 By faith, take back
everything the enemy has stolen from you.
#2510 I trust in God, so
why should I be afraid? Psalms 56:4
#2511 Be strong and
courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will
be with you wherever you go.
#2512 Faith in God
includes faith in His timing.
#2513 Faith and doubt
cannot exist in the same mind, at the same time, for one will dispel the other.
#2514 The safest place to
be is within the will of God.
#2515 Faith is the bridge
between where I am, and the place God is taking me.
#2516 When my faith is
weak, God remains faithful.
#2518 In the process of total immersion in the Word,
the process of renewing our minds is found. George Pearsons
#2519 Make the Word of God the final authority in your
life! George Pearsons
#2520 Fear brings bad things on you. Faith takes bad things from
you. Gloria Copeland
#2521
Just as we would use a compass in
the natural to steer us in the right direction, we must set our spiritual
compass—our faith—to lead and guide us to God’s blessings. Kenneth Copeland
#2522 The next time you find
yourself starting to grapple with fearful thoughts, protect your sound mind by
responding immediately, out loud, with the Word of God, and watch how fast the
devil runs from you. Kenneth Copeland
#2523 It is God’s will for you to be healed! George
Pearsons
#2524 “Saddle up partner, and get back up on your faith.”
George Pearsons
#2525
“Our life follows our words.” Pastor Al Velez
#2526
If you keep your faith, your faith will keep you. Mark Hankins
#2527
I take the shield of faith and quench every fiery dart that the wicked one
brings against me. Charles Capps
#2528 When you’re praying in other tongues, you are reaching back through
time and space to the very moment when God first spoke out the future plan for
your deliverance, and bringing it into your present situation. George Pearsons
#2529 Every
woman in the Body of Christ is called to spiritual motherhood. George Pearsons
#2530 Women
of God, take up the calling of spiritual motherhood today. Your spiritual
children are waiting for your direction, guidance and love. George Pearsons
#2531
Spiritual motherhood, is not dependent upon women having natural children. All
Christian women are called to become 'mothers in the faith. George Pearsons
#2532 “I believe I receive the perfect wisdom of God. By faith, I know
exactly what to do.” Pastor George Pearsons
#2533 It’s not enough just to be in the boat with Jesus. We
have to resist every wave of fear that would come crashing against us. Kenneth
Copeland
#2534 God doesn’t
propagate doubt and unbelief. Every image suggestion, vision, dream,
impression, feeling, and all thoughts that do not contribute to your believing
that you have what you have asked for, should be completely cast down and
eradicated. They should be replaced with God’s Word (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2535 God’s Word says that
you have your answer if you based your petition on the Word and believed you
received it when you prayed. When you believe you receive your answer before
you see it manifested, you are appropriating God’s Word by faith. It’s that
kind of faith that moves God! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2536 Our confession will
either imprison us or set us free. Our confession is the result of our
believing, and our believing is the result of our right or wrong thinking.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2537 When you know the
Word of God, it will change you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2538 But if you do not
get your mind renewed with these Bible facts—even though you are born again,
filled with the Holy Spirit, and speak with tongues—you will remain a negative
person and miss the blessings of God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2539 You’ll not have any
better standing with God when you get to Heaven than you do right now. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#2540 Whatever God has
called you to do— whatever He’s gifted and endued you by the Holy Spirit to
accomplish—He hasn’t changed His mind about it. One day you will have to give
an account of what you did with that calling. Obedience to God’s call will bring
blessing and satisfaction to your life. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2541 What does
“righteousness” mean? First of all, it means right standing with God. Nobody
has any better standing with God than you do. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2542 Step number four to
receiving answered prayer is guard against every evil thought that comes into
your mind to try to make you doubt God’s Word. Thoughts are governed by
observation, association, and teaching. So this step is closely associated with
step number three. The Bible says we are to cast down every imagination that
exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5). That’s why you
should stay away from all places and things that do not support your
affirmation that God has answered your prayer. Your thoughts are governed and
affected by observations, associations, and teaching. That means that sometimes
you will have to stay away from the kind of churches that can put more unbelief
in you than anything else. Also, be sure to enjoy fellowship with those who
contribute to your faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2543 The Bible tells us
in Philippians exactly what to think on. Many people are thinking on the wrong
things, and they’re defeated in life as a result. But if you will guard against
every evil thought and think only on those things which affirm that God has heard
and answered your prayers, you will be cooperating with God in faith. You will
have to guard your mind in order to develop in faith. And as you stand your
ground firm in faith, your faith will see you through to victory. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2544 Step number three to
receiving answered prayer is let every thought and desire affirm that you have
what you asked for. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2545 You Are Righteous!
“For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
#2546 Feed your faith and
starve your doubts. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2547 Success is always
the result of following the leading of the Holy Spirit. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2548 "Yes, sin,
sickness and disease, spiritual death, poverty and everything else that's of
the devil once ruled us. But now, bless God, we rule them. For this is the Day
of Dominion!" Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2549 "Prayer is a
walk with God....We can minister to the Lord as a group but I'll tell you one
thing about it, you'll never have that intimacy of ministering to the Lord and
worshiping Him with a group that you'll have in your own individual life."
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2550 Faith changes hope
into reality. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2551 Believer's should
never deal with doubts and fears because they are the devil's narcotics.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2552 God is glorified
through healing and deliverance, not through sickness and suffering. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2553 Jesus, in His earth
walk, was the will of God in action. If you want to know what God thinks about
sickness - look at Jesus! He went about healing the sick! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2554 Stay put in the hard
places, and you'll eventually rest upon the mountaintop. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2555 The Bible, from
Genesis to Revelation, is God's "I Will" to every seeker for full
salvation of spirit, soul and body. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2556 Learn to think in
line with God's Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2557 Faith in God and His
Word that is acted upon will bring results every time. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2558 A lot of times, our
thinking is wrong. It's not in line with the Bible. And if our thinking is
wrong, then our believing is going to be wrong. And if our believing is wrong,
then our talking is going to be wrong. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2559 We walk in purity by
walking in the Word and by walking in love. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2560 Godliness ensures
divine protection! That simply means God will see you through! Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2561 When you live for
God, He'll promote you. He's on your side. He's not against you. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2562 To obey the voice of
God, you must know the voice of God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2563 It's always right
and timely to practice the Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2564 Don't you do
something just because so-and-so did it. Be sure the Spirit of God is telling
you to do it. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2565 Don't do something
just because somebody else did. Don't operate on the other fellow's experience.
Operate on what you know the Bible said, and operate on what the Holy Ghost is
saying to you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2566 The love of money is
the root of all evil. It is not wrong to have money; it is wrong for money to
have you. It is wrong for money to be your master. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2567 Keep things in the
right perspective. In other words, keep your attitudes and motives right.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2568 Success in God
doesn't come overnight. And if you're not prospering in life right now, your
prosperity in God won't appear overnight either. But if you'll continually
honor and obey God and His Word, it will come. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2569 Honor God with your
faith, your giving, and right motives. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2570 Many Christians are
not prospering today because they are not willing and obedient to the call of
God on their lives or to some specific direction God has given them. Others
simply need to get their thinking straightened out so they can think, talk, and
act in line with God's Word concerning prosperity. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2571 In order to honor
and obey the Word, a person must first find out what the Word has to say. The
Word of God has a great deal to say about prosperity for the believer. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#2572 The manifestations
of the Holy Spirit are as He wills; we can't make them happen. But whether
there is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit or not, we always have the Word to
act upon. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2573 You talk about your
trials, you talk about your difficulties, you talk about your lack of faith,
you talk about your lack of money, and your faith will just absolutely shrivel.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2574 Since we have that Spirit of faith, we ought to
speak the things we believe. Never talk failure. I don't know about you, but i
don't believe in failure. Never talk defeat. I don't know about you, but I
don't believe in defeat. I believe in victory, praise God. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2575 If you get any revelation from God, friends,
check it in line with the Word, and then put it into practice for yourself
before you start preaching it. If it won't work for you, it won't work for
anybody else. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2576 God is not going to bless someone whose motives
are impure. No, that person has to be willing and obedient and have the right
motives. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2577 Honor God with your faith, your giving, and
right motives. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2578 The Word works in any situation or circumstance.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2579 An unregenerate man needs life from God because
he is spiritually dead. But thanks to be God, Christ has redeemed us from
spiritual death! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2580 If you talk about sickness, it will develop
sickness in your system. If you talk about your doubts, your doubts will become
stronger, and they will destroy your faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2581 What you say defeats you or puts you over.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2582 If you want to walk in the perfect will of God
and experience His richest and best for your life, you’ve got to do the perfect
will of God. That requires honoring and obeying God and His Word. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2583 If you see yourself sick. If you see yourself
unhealed. If you see yourself getting worse. That Word has departed from before
your eyes. You're looking at something else. You're seeing yourself with
something else. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2584 But if you will guard against every evil thought
and think only on those things which affirm that God has heard and answered
your prayers, you will be cooperating with God in faith. You will have to guard
your mind in order to develop in faith. And as you stand your ground firm in
faith, your faith will see you through to victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2585 Some people think truth pertains to things they
can see with their physical eye, but you can't see the things of the spirit.
Spiritual things are not natural and they are not material. Everything we need
is provided for us in the spiritual realm by God's Word. EPHESIANS 1:3 3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ. This scripture means
that everything we need has been provided for us in Christ Jesus. You can't see
those things, but they are there because God's Word says they are there. There
is sense-knowledge truth. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2586 So then faith cometh... 'We know it comes. From
where does it come? How does it come?'... faith cometh by hearing... It doesn't
come by seeing. It doesn't come by feeling. It comes by hearing. Hearing
what?'... and hearing by the word of God.' It comes by hearing the Word of God.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2587 Step one is to decide what you want from God and
find scriptures that promise you the things you desire. Step number two to
receiving answered prayer is ask God for the things you want and believe that
you receive them. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2588 In order to fight the good fight of faith, you
must learn how to use the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Fighting the good fight of faith is speaking the Word out of your mouth that
you believe in your heart or your spirit. That's why it's important to hide the
Word of God in your heart and be ready to use scriptures against demons when
they try to attack you and try to make you doubt God's Word. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2589 The mature believer is God-conscious, and
ever-conscious of what God's Word says about him and to him. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2590 And as you feed upon the Word by meditating, you
will be ready to use these scriptures against demons who will try to make you
doubt God and who will try to rob you of what you want. It is the devil who
tries to make you doubt God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2591 Faith begins where the will, or the Word, of God
is known. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2592 Too few Christians realize the importance of the
Word of God in prayer. We know that faith begins where the will of God is
known. And we know that God's Word is His will. So find scriptures that
definitely promise the things you are asking for. If the Scriptures don't
promise you the things you are desiring, you don't have any business praying
for those things. And you shouldn't want anything that the Word of God says you
shouldn't have. Many believers are trying to pray beyond their faith. But it's
the Word that gives you faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2593 Back during the Gold Rush you could go into a
stream of water and pan out a little gold dust. But if you really wanted to
make a strike and get down where the real gold was, you had to dig for it. In
the same way you can skim along on the top of scriptures—but if you really want
to find out what the Bible says, you'll have to dig down into the Word of God.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2594 Step number one to receiving answered prayer is
decide what you want from God and find the scripture or scriptures that
definitely promise you these things. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2595 Then the minute the first symptoms show up, they
say, "I thought the Lord healed me. I guess He didn't." And when they
say that, they open the door to the devil. Instead of rising up and meeting the
devil with the Word of God and commanding his power to be broken, they yield.
Why? Because they have no foundation of God's Word in their lives. They are
depending on others to carry them on their prayers and faith. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2596 So God contacts you through your SPIRIT—not
through your MIND, and not through your BODY—because He is a Spirit. He's not a
mind. He's not a man. The Bible says He isn't. Although He has a spirit-body
over in the spirit world (angels do, too), God is not a PHYSICAL being. He is a
Spirit. He contacts us through our spirit, and we contact Him through our
spirit. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2597 If your spirit were healed, you would still have
the same spirit, too, except it would just be healed. But no, blessed be God,
Second Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
NEW." Not half of them--all of them. Every bit of them. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2598 The Bible says it, I believe it, and that
settles it. I'm not interested in what this or that church believes. I'm
interested in what the Bible says. I'm not interested in church creeds or
church doctrines. I'm interested in what the Bible says. If God's Word says He
hears and answers prayer, and if that Word doesn't depart from before your
eyes, then you're bound to see yourself with the things you asked for. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#2599 Well, if he had ever
read the Bible, he should know a sinner does not get healed spiritually. The
human spirit of the lost man or woman is not healed—it's reborn. That person
becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. Old things are passed away. All things
become new. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2600 Confession: I
believe in my heart Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised
from the dead for my justification. I confess Him as my Lord and Savior. Jesus
is my Lord. He is dominating my life. He is guiding me. He is leading me. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#2601 Step number seven to
receiving answered prayer is make every prayer relative to what you've asked a
statement of faith instead of unbelief. You can think and say words of faith
just as easily as you can think and say words of doubt and unbelief. It is thinking
faith thoughts and speaking faith words that leads the heart out of defeat and
into victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2602 Satan is the
destroyer. Jesus is the Deliverer. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2603 Step number six to
receiving answered prayer is in your every waking moment, think on the
greatness of God and His goodness, and count your blessings. This will increase
your faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2604 Many people believe
the lie that it is not God's will to heal them, yet it is illogical to believe
that God heals, and at the same time believe that He won't heal you. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2605 The way God works is
through His Word. Remember, God only works and moves in line with His Word. He
has bound Himself by His Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2606 If God's Word says
He hears and answers prayer, and if that Word doesn't depart from before your
eyes, then you're bound to see yourself with the things you asked for. If you
don't see yourself with the things you desire, then God's Word has departed
from before your eyes. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2607 1. Say it. 2. Do it.
3. Receive it. 4. Tell it. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2608 Many Christians do
not take advantage of what belongs to them. Either they do not know how to take
advantage of what belongs to them, or the do not know what belongs to them.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2609 The Bible is a legal
document, sealed by the Blood of Jesus. However, it is your believing it and
your confessing it which makes it a reality to you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2610 Hope says,
"I'll get healed sometime." Heart faith says, "It's mine
now.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2611 You should
constantly be confessing who you are. Oh no, not who you are physically─the son
or daughter of John Doe who lives on such-and-such street. No! But who you are
according to the Word of God. That's the confession we're to hold fast to.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2612 Many folks pray and
pray and pray, but they don't pray according to the Word. But John 15:7 says,
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2613 If you stand by the
Word, God will stand by you and will make His Word good in your life. But if
you don't stand on God's Word, then He has nothing to make good in your life.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2614 Step number four to
receiving answered prayer is guard against every evil thought that comes into
your mind to try to make you doubt God's Word. Thoughts are governed by
observation, association, and teaching. So this step is closely associated. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#2615 People keep on
struggling when it comes to prayer and faith because they don't actually
believe what the Word says. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2616 God's Word says that
you have your answer if you based your petition on the Word and believed you
received it when you prayed. When you believe you receive your answer before
you see it manifested, you are appropriating God's Word by faith. It's that
kind of faith that moves God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2617 To me, when I read
the Bible, it's God's Word. I believe it. That settles it. And that's the end
of it. There's no use in discussing it. Because the Bible says so, His Words
are health. They are medicine to all their flesh. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2618 Satan can move in
the supernatural realm, too, because he is a spirit being, as is God. You've
got to be able to know whether a vision, dream, impression, or suggestion is
from God or Satan. Those suggestions that do not line up with the Word are of
the devil. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2619 Doubt is from the
devil. You have to resist doubts and rebuke them. You have to get your mind on
the answer — on God's Word. In order to receive answers to your prayers, you
must eradicate every image, suggestion, vision, dream, impression, feeling, and
all thoughts that do not contribute to your faith and that do not affirm that
you have what you have asked God for. The word 'eradicate' means to uproot or
remove. Remember, Satan moves in the sense realm, in the natural realm, and he
uses the tool of suggestion. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2620 One. If you wait to
become a conqueror before you believe you are one, you are mistaken. You have
to confess it first to become one. Faith's confessions create reality. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#2621 If you'll simply
step out and do what He's called you to do whether it's to proclaim His Word,
or to assist others through the ministry of helps—you'll find yourself walking
into the blessings of God and a greater fulfillment in your life than you ever
dreamed possible. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2622 Step number three to
receiving answered prayer is let every thought and desire affirm that you have
what you asked for. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2623 Often I ask them if
they have ever acted as though the Word is so. People must act like the
Scriptures are true. If they don't act like the Word is true, they are walking
by what their senses are telling them and not by what the Bible says. That's what
is throwing them off. They're missing the faith realm entirely, which is based
on what the Word says, not on what they see or feel. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2624 Whatever God has
called you to do—whatever He's gifted and endued you by the Holy Spirit to
accomplish—He hasn't changed His mind about it. One day you will have to give
an account of what you did with that calling. Obedience to God's call will bring
blessing and satisfaction to your life. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2625 Know the facts of
God's Word—what belongs to you and who you are in Him. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

Your home atmosphere is the product of WORDS. Children fail because wrong WORDS

made the righteousness of God in Him" 2 Corinthians 5:21. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#2637 God doesn't
propagate doubt and unbelief. Every image suggestion, vision, dream,
impression, feeling, and all thoughts that do not contribute to your believing
that you have what you have asked for, should be completely cast down and
eradicated. They should be replaced with God's Word (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2638 But if you do not
get your mind renewed with these Bible facts—even though you are born again,
filled with the Holy Spirit, and speak with tongues—you will remain a negative
person and miss the blessings of God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2639 God's Word abides in
us in the measure that it governs our lives - in the measure that we act upon
it. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2640 Sometimes we have to
unlearn things before we can learn the right things. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2641 When you know the
Word of God, it will change you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2642 The Name of Jesus
and You. Here's another Bible fact: The Name of Jesus belongs to every
believer, every child of God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2643 Do what God says do.
Endeavor to be faithful, no matter what happens or what comes. And leave the
results to God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2644 Healing belongs to
you. It belongs to you because sickness is of the enemy. It belongs to you
because you are a spiritual child of Abraham. It belongs to you because
sickness is a curse, and Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2645 God wants us to
prosper. Our need, however, is to evaluate things as they should be evaluated -
to esteem earthly things lightly - to put first things first. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2646 The Bible, from
Genesis to Revelation, is God's 'I Will' to every seeker for full salvation of

#2648 Thoughts may come
and persist in staying. But thoughts that are not put into word or action die
unborn. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

walk, was the will of God in action. If you want to know what God thinks about
sickness - look at Jesus! He went about healing the sick. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2650 Stay put in the hard
places, and you'll eventually rest upon the mountaintop. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2651 Faith changes hope
into reality. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2652 Yes, sin, sickness
and disease, spiritual death, poverty and everything else that's of the devil
once ruled us. But now, bless God, we rule them - for this is the Day of
Dominion. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2653 Feeling is the voice
of the body; reasoning is the voice of the mind; conscience is the voice of the
spirit. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2654 If what you hear
preached doesn't cause faith to come and build faith in your spirit, then it
either isn't the Word of God or else you're not hearing it. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2655 Our confession will
either imprison us or set us free. Our confession is the result of our
believing, and our believing is the result of our right or wrong thinking.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#2656 Thinking faith
thoughts, and speaking faith words, will lead the heart out of defeat and into
victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

heart; say it with your mouth. That is the principle of faith. You can have
what you say. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

charges your spirit like a battery charger charges a battery. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#2659 Prayer is a walk
with God....We can minister to the Lord as a group but I'll tell you one thing
about it, you'll never have that intimacy of ministering to the Lord and
worshiping Him with a group that you'll have in your own individual life. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.

Joy is a harvesting factor! Kenneth Copeland
#3046
The joy of the Lord strengthens our spirit man, our soul (mind, will, emotions)
and our physical body. Joy and laughter are medicine to the body and health to
all our flesh.
#3047
The joy of the Lord causes us to triumph and to obtain our victory! Joy mixed
with love and faith is especially powerful and effective!
#3048
The joy of the Lord extinguishes the fiery darts and attacks of the enemy, and
causes the devil to flee from us. The enemy cannot handle joy. A joyful person
is a powerful person. The enemy wants us to feel gloom, despair, and misery.
But when we begin to dance and shout for joy, and put on the garment of praise,
it sends the devil scattering and all demonic strongholds are broken by the
power of God! Joy undermines the devil’s whole operation and causes confusion
to the enemy camp.
#3049
We are blessed when we serve others. Serving others is one way of expressing
the agape love of God to our families, friends and the brethren. Jesus said
that to become great in the kingdom of God, one must first of all be a servant.
Jesus did not come to be serve, but rather to serve, and to give His life as a
ransom for many.

will never enter into their rest. Mark Hankins
#3057
There are giants in the promised land, but our faith is the victory that
overcomes every adversity and enemy.
#3058
Faith won’t work without love. Love never fails. Love is the most excellent
way. Love never fades away or becomes obsolete. Love is everlasting. Love
endures trials. Love is a generous giver of their finances, friendship, time
and talents.
#3059
Love is patient, long-suffering, kind, gentle, courteous, considerate, humble,
meek, faithful, loyal, slow to anger, not rude or unbecoming, not selfish or
self-centered, not swelled up with pride, not arrogant, not abusive, not
controlling, does not demand its own way, does not tear down others but rather
builds them up, is not jealous or filled with malice, has no prejudice in their
heart, has no guile on their tongue, does not backbite their neighbor, is not
cruel to others or to their pets, love forgives others, love extends mercy to
others, love gives others a second chance, to walk in love is to be like Jesus.
God is love. To walk in love is to abide in the light. He who hates his brother
abides in the darkness. Perfect (mature and complete) love casts our fear, because
fear involves torment and the one who fears has not been made perfect in love.
The Bible says to become rooted and grounded in love. That we may come to
experientially know the height and the depth, the length and the width, of the
love of God, so that we would come into the full measure or stature of Christ.
The love of God is vast like an ocean.

When we become partners with God, it is to His advantage when you prosper. Mark

A dance isn’t something God gives you. A dance is something you give God! Mark
Hankins
#3063
If you are struggling with a physical illness, or in some other area of your
life, begin to dance before the Lord in victory and triumph. It causes the
devil to flee. It brings about breakthroughs in the Spirit realm. Before you
know it, the victory has come and you discover that you are healed and made
whole. Prosperity comes, deliverance comes, joy comes. Whatever you need from
God comes.

Walking by faith leads you into the new places in God. Mark Hankins

The moment you act on the Word, God makes Himself responsible for the results.

God likes people to brag about who they are “IN HIM”. Mark Hankins [Philemon 6]
#3069
My soul will boast in the goodness and greatness of the Lord. He is Glorious,
Magnificent, Marvelous and Majestic! He is the Mighty God! He is clothed in
splendor! He can do anything, except fail. He has never lost a case. He wins
each and every battle! He is the Awesome God who rules and reigns in power,
dominion and authority. Nothing is too difficult for our God to do. He is
mighty in deeds! He is a Promise Keeper and keeps His covenant to a thousand
generations. His Name is Faithful and True.
#3070
God is giving you a change of clothes. Instead of garments of sin, He is giving
you the garment of Salvation and Righteousness.
#3071
Instead of the garment of depression, oppression or despair, He is giving you
the garment of praise!
#3072
Instead of the garment of sadness, He is giving you the garment of Beauty!
#3073
Instead of the garment of mourning, He is giving you the garment of gladness
and rejoicing.
#3074
Instead of the garment of setbacks, He is giving you the garment of promotion.
#3075
Instead of the garment of defeat, He is giving you the garment of victory.
#3076
Instead of the garment of sickness, He is giving you the garment of Divine
health.
#3077
Instead of the garment of poverty, He is giving you the garment of prosperity
and wealth.
#3078
Instead of the garment of lack, He is giving you the garment of abundance.
#3079
Instead of the garment of loneliness, He is giving you the garment of godly
companionship and fellowship.
#3080
Instead of the garment of hopelessness, He is giving you a new garment of fresh
hope and a vision of a bright, sunny, glorious future filled with the promises
of God.
#3081
Instead of the garment of doubt and unbelief, He is giving you the garment of
faith and trust in God.
#3082
Instead of the garment of chaos, He is giving you the garment of peace
(Shalom).
#3083
Instead of a garment of failure or regrets, He is replacing it with a garment
of second chances.
#3084
Instead of the garment of confusion and disorder, He is giving you a new
garment of confidence, certainty, assurance, belief, trust and clear sound thinking.
#3085
Instead of the garment of fear, He is replacing it with a garment of faith and
courage.
#3086
Instead of a garment of physical, mental or emotional pain, He is replacing it
with a garment of His love, peace, healing and wholeness.
#3087
Instead of a garment of addictions, He is giving you a garment of total
recovery.
#3088
Instead of a garment of losses and grief, He is giving you a new garment of
restoration and comfort.
#3089
Instead of a garment of pride, He is replacing it with a garment of a spirit of
humility and meekness.
#3090
Instead of a garment of rejection, He is replacing it with a new garment of
being accepted in the Beloved.
#3091
Instead of a garment of feeling bypassed by man, He is replacing it with a
garment of being His chosen vessel.
#3092
Instead of a garment of impurity or defilement, He is replacing it with a
garment of purity and holiness.
#3093
Instead of a garment of past abuse or trauma, He is replacing it with a garment
of inner healing and total recovery.
#3094
Instead of a garment of lying and cheating, He is replacing it with a new
garment of truth and integrity.
#3095
Instead of a garment of death of some type, He is replacing it with a garment
of abundant life. To fail to walk in love is the same as abiding in death. We
know we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren.
#3096
Instead of a garment of dead dreams and disappointment, He is replacing it with
a brand new garment of resurrection life to those dreams and entering into
brand new blessings of God. Those who hope in Him will not be disappointed.
#3097
Instead of a garment of shame or disgrace, He is replacing it with a white
bridal veil. He will remove the reproach, and give you new beginnings in your
life.
#3098
Instead of a garment of living in sin, He is replacing it with a garment of
salvation and remission of sin by the Blood of Jesus.
#3099
Instead of a garment of anger, rage, bitterness and unforgiveness, He is
replacing it with a garment of love, mercy, grace, and letting go of offenses, putting
the past behind, and dropping the matter and moving forward.
#3100
Instead of a garment of mental illness that has gone on for a very long time,
He is replacing it with total cure and recovery.
#3101
Instead of a garment of struggling with the battlefield of the mind, or with
foreboding thoughts, He is replacing it with a brand new garment of clear,
sound thoughts, thinking on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely,
of good report, virtuous, praiseworthy, edifying, faith-filled, positive,
peaceful, joyful, clean thoughts, counting your blessings, and focusing on the
bright sunny side of life. My meditation of the Lord shall be sweet, and I will
be glad in Him (Psalms 104:34).
#3102 Some people pick up on one part
of what you say, twist it, and go off into excess and error and create
confusion in the Body of Christ. There will probably be those who will read
this book and take what I am saying out of context and get off into error. However,
misguided people prone to error should not keep us from flowing with what is
Biblical and right. It should not keep us from flowing with what the Holy
Spirit is wanting to teach the Body of Christ in this hour! I believe that
those who have ears to hear will hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church
in this hour and will cooperate with Him to help usher in the move of God all
of our hearts so earnestly desire. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3103 Charles Finney is probably the most outstanding
exponent of prayer. He is known as the man who prayed down revivals. He had the
greatest success, and his converts were the most consistent since the days of
the Apostle Paul. It is common knowledge that eighty-five percent of his
converts remained true to God. D. L. Moody was a great evangelist, but only
about fifty percent of his converts remained faithful. We have had a mighty
move over the past several years, but it is common knowledge that not more than
fifty percent of the converts have remained true to the Lord. Finney had the
greatest success numbers’ wise as far as keeping the fruit of his labor, since
the days of the Apostle Paul — whole cities were stirred. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3104 God's Word abides in us in the measure that it
governs our lives─in the measure that we act upon it. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3105 In Chapter One, I discussed four of the seven
steps to answered prayer. The four steps already covered are as follows: 1.
Decide what you want from God and find the scripture or scriptures that
definitely promise you these things. 2. Ask God for the things you want and
believe that you receive them. 3. Let every thought and desire affirm that you
have what you asked for. 4. Guard against every evil thought that comes into
your mind to try to make you doubt God’s Word. 5. Meditate on God’s Promises. Step number five
to receiving answered prayer is meditate constantly on the promises upon which
you based the answer to your prayer. In other words, you must see yourself in
possession of what you’ve asked for and make plans accordingly as if it were
already a reality. Proverbs 4:20-22 20 says, “My son, ATTEND TO MY WORDS;
incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep
them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them,
and health to all their flesh.” God said, “My son, attend to my words
. . .” (Proverbs 4:20). God will make His Word good in your life if
you’ll act on it. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3106 The Bible says it, I believe it, and that
settles it. I’m not interested in what this or that church believes. I’m
interested in what the Bible says. I’m not interested in church creeds or
church doctrines. I’m interested in what the Bible says. If God’s Word says He
hears and answers prayer, and if that Word doesn’t depart from before your
eyes, then you’re bound to see yourself with the things you asked for. If you
don’t see yourself with the things you desire, then God’s Word has departed
from before your eyes. If you don’t stand by the Word, although God wants to
stand by you, He can’t, because the only way God works is through His Word.
Remember, God only works and moves in line with His Word. He has bound Himself
by His Word. He has magnified His Word above His Name (Psalms 138:2). Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#3107 John 16:23,24 23 says, “And in that day ye shall
ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, WHATSOEVER ye shall ask the
Father in my Name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my
Name: ASK, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
#3108 Philippians 4:6–7 6 says, “Be careful for
nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
#3109 “My words are life unto those that find them,
and my words are health, or medicine, to all their flesh” (Proverbs 4:20–22).
#3110 “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8).
#3111 Why do I say that? Because if you are expecting
just prayer to do it, it won’t work. It’s exercising faith in God’s Word that
makes prayer work. To expect prayer itself to do the job is the same as
expecting your physical hand to unlock a car door; it can’t do it by itself.
You have to have the key to unlock the door. And in prayer you have to have
faith in the Name of Jesus and in the Word of God in order to get the job done.
The Name of Jesus is our key. I think sometimes we think we can move God with
our tears and our prayers and our fasting. But God doesn’t ever change. He’s
always the same (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). God moves when you come to Him
according to His Word and use the Word and the Name of Jesus as the key. Then
prayer will work for you, and you’ll have your answer. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3112 My mother told me that when she knew I was
traveling, she would pray that the Lord would be with me. I would finish a
meeting in California and then travel straight through until I got home. She
would just stay awake worrying, waiting for the telephone to ring, announcing
bad news. I told her that she was wasting her time, that she might as well not
pray if she was going to keep on worrying. She would pray that God would
protect me, and then she would stay awake worrying. That’s the way many people
act when they pray. But worry can hinder you from receiving answers to prayers.
Worry can stop God from being able to move on your behalf. Thank God, prayer
means more than that. John 16:24 says, “. . . ask, and ye SHALL
RECEIVE, that your joy may be full.” When you pray in faith, according to God’s
Word, you are full of joy and rejoicing even before the answer materializes
because you know God heard you. You have His Word for it. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3113 I know who I am! I’m a new creature in Christ
Jesus. I’m a child of God. I’m an heir of God. I’m a joint-heir with Jesus
Christ. I’m the righteousness of God. Hallelujah! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3114 So many preachers, she said, get off onto one
thing and ride it like a hobbyhorse. Some get off on women’s dress. That’s all
they ever preach about—and dressing one way or the other will not get you to
heaven, or send you to hell. You need to preach Jesus, get the people saved and
filled with the Holy Ghost, and let the Lord tell them what to do. Don’t fight
other denominations. Don’t fight fellow Christians, she advised. Just preach
Jesus, the Cross, the Blood, and the Resurrection. I’ve learned God will meet
people I never thought He’d reach, because their hearts are hungry. I don’t
preach against anything. I preach for something. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3115 Smith Wigglesworth said once that there is
something about faith that will cause God to pass over a million people just to
get to one person who is in faith. You see, the cry of faith will bring God on
the scene. The cry of faith invokes a blessing. The word “invoke” means to call
forth, to put into operation, or to bring about. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3116 Jesus is talking about how you as an individual
can receive the desires of your heart. Many times, people read something else
into Mark 11:24. They think God might answer their prayer if it’s His will.
Well, it must have been His will to answer their prayers or Jesus never would
have said to ask! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3117 I’m paying my tithes because I love God. And I
love the church, and I want to see it go forward and succeed. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#3118 That’s why I’m paying tithes and giving
offerings. And I expect You to honor Your Word, and I thank You for doing it.
You said, “Them that honor Me, I’ll honor.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3119 I know from experience, dear friends, if you’re
going to walk in health, you’re going to have to walk in love and pray for
those who persecute you and despitefully use you. Pray for them: That’s the
best way in the world to overcome the problem. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3120 The scriptures... when properly examined and
rightly divided, do not portray Jesus as a poverty-stricken individual. On the
contrary, Jesus is seen as a Man whose needs were met and who was regularly
involved in meeting the needs of others. He was a carpenter in his father
Joseph’s business and they did very well. Also, He was a home owner in
Capernaum, Israel near the Sea of Galilee. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3121 What was Abraham’s blessing. Well, we know it
was a three-fold blessing. First, God promised Abraham that He was going to
make him rich (Genesis 12:2,3; 13:2). Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3122 The majority of Christians—though sincere—are
weak. This is because they never really dared to confess what God’s Word says
about them. They have never dared to confess that they are what the Bible says
they are—and that they have what the Bible says they have. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#3123 God says, “Believe and exercise my spiritual
authority in the area of finances.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3124 The Lord said to me, “Don’t pray about money
like you have been. Whatever you need, claim it in Jesus’ Name. And then you
say, ‘Satan, take your hands off my money.’ And then say, ‘Go, ministering
spirits, and cause the money to come.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3125 You see, you can’t always go by what it looks
like. There always comes a test to your faith. The trial of your faith, the
Bible said, is more precious than gold. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3126 The love of money is the root of all evil. It is
not wrong to have money; it is wrong for money to have you. It is wrong for
money to be your master. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3127 Isaiah 1:19 says, “If ye be willing and
obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” But we sure weren’t eating the
good of the land! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3128 Now notice Proverbs 6:2. In the margin of my
Bible, that verse reads, “Thou art taken captive with the words of thy mouth.”
In other words, you said the wrong thing, and as a result, you were taken
captive. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3129 You see, for the Word to work for you, it’s got
to be both in your mouth and in your heart. It can’t just be in your mouth.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3130 Faith that receives the promises of God will
only work by believing and saying. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3131 If you’re saved, you already have that spirit of
faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3132 Since we have that spirit of faith, we ought to
speak the things we believe. Never talk failure. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3133 If you talk about sickness, it will develop
sickness in your system. If you talk about your doubts, your doubts will become
stronger, and they will destroy your faith. If you talk about your lack of
finances, it will stop the money from coming in. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3134 If they’ll believe in their heart what the Word
of God said and confess it with their mouth, they’ll get results. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3135 Christians do not take advantage of what belongs
to them. Either they do not know how to take advantage of what belongs to them,
or they do not know what belongs to them. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3136 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3137 One qualification for prospering is to esteem
earthly things lightly. You cannot put earthly things above spiritual things
and expect to prosper as God desires you to. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3138 God wants you to prosper financially! But your
prosperity depends on your putting first things first. There are qualifications
involved. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3139 The Lord said, “You do the going, and I’ll do
the doing.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3140 Physical and material prosperity depends upon
your spiritual prosperity. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3141 When you confess what and who you are in Christ,
claim it, and walk in it, you are appropriating the reality of what is legally
yours. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3142 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH, EVEN AS thy SOUL PROSPERETH.” 3 John 2
#3143 “And in your own life, just say, claim or ask
for it once. And whenever you think about it, just praise God for the answer.”
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3144 Your faith and prayers work by getting convinced
in your heart first. It won’t work just by saying, “Well, I’m going to try
that.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3145 Someone said, “I can stay home and be as good a
Christian as anybody.” You can’t do it. The Bible says, “Not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one
another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3146 No, we don’t go to church because we’re in love
with the pastor or the pastor’s wife or the Sunday school teacher. We should go
to church because we love God and want to worship Him. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3147 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and
when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
#3148 Determine in your heart to put spiritual things
first and to esteem earthly things lightly. Put God first, even before your own
self. You’ll be blessed spiritually, physically, and in every way — you and
your family as well. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3149 You’ve got to get all three of them — your
thinking, your believing, and your speaking — synchronized with the Word of
God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3150 God’s plan is to operate through us. The Holy
Spirit is our Helper. The Holy Spirit, however, does not do the work for us.
This is another place where our thinking has been wrong. “Let the Holy Spirit
do it” has been the cry of many. But the Holy Spirit was not sent to do it! The
American Revised Version of John 14:18 says, “I will not leave you helpless. I
will come to you. I will send you another Helper.” The Greek word paraclete
that is translated “Comforter” means “One called alongside to help.” Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3151 Churches that muzzle God’s servant never
prosper. Spiritual blessings are withheld from them and financial blessings are
withheld from them because they’re in violation of God’s Word. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3152 “And how shall they hear without a preacher?”
The Bible says that God ordained that men should be saved through the preaching
of the Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3153 You see, a Christian is not renovated like an
old mattress. An old mattress is just made over. But the New Birth is not a
reformation or a renovation. A born-again Christian is a brand-new creature; a
new creation. One translation of Second Corinthians 5:17 reads, “He is a new
species.” This new creature is simply something that never existed before!
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3154 Romans 13:8 “Owe no man anything, but to love
one another: for he that loveth another hath FULFILLED THE LAW.” Galatians 5:14
“For all THE LAW IS FULFILLED in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.”
#3155 I know from experience of more than fifty years
of ministry and talking with many thousands of people through the years on a
one-to-one basis, that unforgiveness is the main reason why people’s faith
doesn’t work. And unforgiveness is the main reason why people fail to receive
their healing. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3156 Romans 13:9,10 “For this, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is
briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS
THYSELF. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore LOVE IS THE FULFILLING
OF THE LAW.”
#3157 Your faith will not work right without love in
operation. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3158 Many people believe the lie that it is not God’s
will to heal them, yet it is illogical to believe that God heals, and at the
same time believe that He won’t heal you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3159 Acts 10:38, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
#3160 Abraham’s promise was three-fold in nature. It
was first a spiritual blessing. Second, it was a physical blessing. And third,
it was a financial and material blessing.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3161 In fact, go through the four Gospels and search
the Scriptures for yourself, and write out every verse Jesus ever mentioned
relative to faith. You will find that unforgiveness — the lack of walking in
love — is a specific hindrance to faith and prayer that Jesus mentioned (Mark
11:23-25). That doesn’t mean there aren’t other hindrances to faith and prayer.
But what it does mean is that unforgiveness is the main hindrance to faith and
answered prayer. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3162 “We’ve all sinned; we’ve all come short of the
glory of God (Romans 3:23).”
#3163 In Mark 11:25, Jesus said, “When you stand
praying, forgive if ye have ought against anyone.” The word “ought” means any
kind of grudge or ill will or wrong feelings about anyone at all. That means a
little grudge, a middle-sized grudge, or a big grudge — anything at all against
another person. After all, the Bible says it’s the little foxes that spoil the
vine (Song of Solomon 2:15). So many times it’s not the big things in
believers’ lives that spoil their Christian walk. It’s the many little sins they
fail to deal with that destroy their faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3164 Faith is based on the knowledge of God’s Word!
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3165 The Bible has the answer to every problem and to
every situation in life. No matter what happens in life, the Bible has the
answer. It may not be the answer we want to hear, but it’s the answer. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#3166 God just blesses people who repent, forgive, and
believe. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3167 When you walk in love, you fulfill the Law — all
of God’s requirements. Without love, you won’t be able to walk in God’s ways
because God is love. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3168 I will never be any older than I am right now. I
am no older now than I was a few years ago. I know more now than I did then,
but I'm not any older. My hair may become grayer and I may get a few more
wrinkles, but the real me will never become old. For the inward man is renewed
day by day. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3169 Be quick to repent, quick to forgive, and quick
to believe God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3170 In looking to the Holy Spirit for guidance, I
rely as much on what He doesn't tell me as on what He does. Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#3171 Three gifts of utterance that say something:
Prophecy, Diverse kinds of tongues, Interpretation of tongues. Three gifts of
power that do something: The gift of faith, The working of miracles, The gifts
of healings. Three gifts of revelation that reveal something: The word of
wisdom, The word of knowledge, The discerning of spirits. 1 Corinthians 14
#3172 It is hard to wait without seeing anything,
because the natural mind wants to walk by sight. But God wants us to walk by
faith. Faith is of the heart. Our spirit will not be trained to walk in this
way of faith overnight. We will make some mistakes along the way and miss God.
But as we continue to seek after Him, we can train our spirit to be led of this
inner voice.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3173 If you don’t forgive yourself, it can keep you
from receiving healing, and it can keep your prayers from being answered
because your faith won’t work except by love. If you don’t forgive yourself, it
will hinder your faith just as much as unforgiveness toward another person will
hinder your faith. It’s just as wrong not to forgive yourself and to harbor ill
will and animosity against yourself as it is not to forgive someone else.
1 John 3:18-21 “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth,
and shall assure our hearts before him. FOR IF OUR HEART CONDEMN US, God is
greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, IF OUR HEART CONDEMN
US NOT, THEN HAVE WE CONFIDENCE TOWARD GOD. You see, if you harbor
unforgiveness and ill will in your heart, your heart will condemn you, and you
won’t be able to come boldly before God to get your petitions answered. Your
prayers will be hindered. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3174 We are about to examine these marvelous truths
in-depth. They are almost beyond our capacity to grasp. But as we feed upon
them, little by little, they will become a part of our inner consciousness. We
need to catch a glimpse of them in our spirits—not in our heads. (Yet they do
have to go through our heads to get down into our hearts; the mind is the door
to the heart.) Once these truths really dawn on our hearts, people will say of
us as it was said of those in the Old Testament, “There are giants in the
land,” for this will make us to become spiritual giants! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3175 When you and I became born again, God became our
Father. He is a love God. We are love children of a love God, because we have
been born of God, and God is love. The nature of God in us is love. We have His
nature in our spirit, not in our flesh. (We’ve got the flesh to contend with,
but we can “crucify” it). Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3176 We're waiting on God, and He's waiting on us,
and He won't do anything until we act. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3177 There are two kinds of unbelief: 1. Some doubt
God’s Word because they do not know it. This is unbelief that is based on a
lack of knowledge of the Word of God-— because faith comes by hearing, and
hearing by the Word of God. So if people do not hear and do not know the Word
of God, they cannot have faith. 2. Another type of unbelief is failure to be
persuaded. The children of Israel knew they were to take the Promised Land,
because God had said He had given it to them. But they could not be persuaded
to act on His Word. There are many believers who are informed about God’s Word,
but they cannot be persuaded to act on it. This is unbelief. The cure for this
particular kind of unbelief is obedience. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3178 He that hath the Son hath life
(1 John 5:12).
#3179 The reason Christians are weak is because they
have never dared to confess what they are in Christ. You can know who you are
in Christ and what you have in Christ! The children of Israel knew what God had
said belonged to them. He had said, “I will give you the land.” Everything else
God had said had come to pass. The children of Israel had seen God’s
faithfulness in everything else He had promised them, but they could not be
persuaded to act on God’s Word in this matter of taking the land. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3180 Well, if he had ever read the Bible, he should
know a sinner does not get healed spiritually. The human spirit of the lost man
or woman is not healed—it’s reborn. That person becomes a new creature in
Christ Jesus. Old things are passed away. All things become new. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3181 If your spirit were healed, you would still have
the same spirit, too, except it would just be healed. But no, blessed be God,
Second Corinthians 5:17 tells us, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW.”
Not half of them—all of them. Every bit of them. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3182 So God contacts you through your SPIRIT—not
through your MIND, and not through your BODY—because He is a Spirit. He’s not a
mind. He’s not a man. The Bible says He isn’t. Although He has a spirit-body
over in the spirit world (angels do, too), God is not a PHYSICAL being. He is a
Spirit. He contacts us through our spirit, and we contact Him through our
spirit. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3183 We must have this spirit of wisdom and
revelation of Christ and His Word if we are to grow. It is not going to be
imparted to us through our intellect, either. The Holy Spirit must unveil it to
us. “And I pray that the Father of Glory may impart unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation, in the knowledge of Him, understanding mysteries and
your spirit and heart receiving illumination into the things of God (Ephesians
1:17).”
#3184 The minute the first symptoms show up, they say,
“I thought the Lord healed me. I guess He didn’t.” And when they say that, they
open the door to the devil. Instead of rising up and meeting the devil with the
Word of God and commanding his power to be broken, they yield. Why? Because
they have no foundation of God’s Word in their lives. They are depending on
others to carry them on their prayers and faith. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3185 We grow our faith by a constant, careful,
diligent, reverent, prayerful study of God’s Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3186 Some think that authority over the devil belongs
to only a few chosen people to whom God has given special power. It doesn’t; it
belongs to all the children of God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3187 Back during the Gold Rush you could go into a
stream of water and pan out a little gold dust. But if you really wanted to
make a strike and get down where the real gold was, you had to dig for it. In
the same way you can skim along on the top of scriptures—but if you really want
to find out what the Bible says, you’ll have to dig down into the Word of God.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3188 The Scriptural promises will work if you’ll get
it down on the inside of you! Into your heart! The way you do that is not by
just reading it and forgetting it. But by meditating upon it. By thinking upon
it. By feeding upon it. Until it becomes a part of your inward man. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3189 Salvation belongs to the sinner. Jesus already
has bought the salvation of the worst sinner, just as He did for us. That’s the
reason He told us to go tell the Good News; go tell sinners they’re reconciled
to God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3190 Faith begins where the will, or the Word, of God
is known. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3191 Dr. Lilian B. Yeoman’s, a medical doctor who
received divine healing for herself and then devoted her life to ministering
and teaching this subject, would teach what she called “healing classes” in the
daytime during her revival meetings. She wrote in one of her books to this
effect, “I almost become angry sometimes. For when we’re studying the Word of
God on such an important subject as healing for the body, you can tell people
are not paying a bit of attention to it. They’ll thumb through the songbook.
Stare off into space. Look out the window. Chew gum. And then those same people
want you to pray the prayer of faith for them. Yet they don’t want to do
anything themselves.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3192 There’s no sin problem. Jesus settled that.
There’s just a sinner problem. Get the sinner to Jesus, and that cures the
problem. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3193 You will not come into victory until you gain a
knowledge of the plan of God which He planned and sent the Lord Jesus to consummate...until
you gain a knowledge of who you are in Christ, and Christ in you...until you
gain a knowledge of what He did for you in His death, burial, resurrection,
ascension, and seating at the right hand of the Father...until you gain a
knowledge of what He's doing for you right now, seated at the right hand of the
Father where He ever liveth to make intercession for you...until you gain a
knowledge of your standing before the throne of God...until you gain a
knowledge of the fact that He defeated Satan and demons, and that all the
forces of the rulers of the darkness of this world are dethroned powers, and
that they can't rule over you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3194 As you feed upon the Word by meditating, you
will be ready to use these scriptures against demons who will try to make you
doubt God and who will try to rob you of what you want. It is the devil who
tries to make you doubt God. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3195 Then the Bible says Satan took Jesus upon a
pinnacle of the temple and tempted Jesus again. Matthew 4:7-11 says,
“Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy
God.” Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and
showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them. And saith unto
him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Jesus unto him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Then the devil
left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Jesus did not use a
single weapon to defeat the devil on this occasion that the saints of God do
not have available to them today. When you are being tempted by the enemy, all
you have to do is say, “It is written” and use the Word of God against Satan.
But in order to be able to say that and to resist the devil effectively, you
have to be armed with the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. In other words,
you have to hide God’s Word in your heart by meditating on it continually in
order for it to work for you. Then you will be able to withstand the attacks of
the enemy. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3196 The Bible says, “Fight the good fight of faith
. . .” (1 Timothy 6:12). If there weren’t any hindrances to faith,
there wouldn’t be a fight. When it comes to the natural things, people will
fight tooth and toe nail for what belongs to them. But when it comes to
spiritual things, many times they just roll over and play dead! Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3197 Step one is to decide what you want from God and
find scriptures that promise you the things you desire. Step number two to
receiving answered prayer is ask God for the things you want and believe that
you receive them. Certainly, the Lord knows what we need even before we ask,
but He still said for us to ask Him. The Bible says, “. . . your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things” (Matthew 6:32).
But He also tells you to ask for what you need: “. . . ask, and
ye shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24). Kenneth E. Hagin,
Sr.
#3198 John 16:23,24 says, “And in that day ye shall
ASK me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the
Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my
name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” Mathew
7:7,8 says, “ASK, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he
that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Mark 11:23,24
says, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass;
he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore, I say unto you, What things
soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them.”
#3199 Some people think truth pertains to things they
can see with their physical eye, but you can’t see the things of the Spirit.
Spiritual things are not natural and they are not material. Everything we need
is provided for us in the spiritual realm by God’s Word. Ephesians 1:3 says,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ.” This scripture
means that everything we need has been provided for us in Christ Jesus. You
can’t see those things, but they are there because God’s Word says they are
there. There is sense-knowledge truth. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3200 But if you will guard against every evil thought
and think only on those things which affirm that God has heard and answered
your prayers, you will be cooperating with God in faith. You will have to guard
your mind in order to develop in faith. And as you stand your ground firm in
faith, your faith will see you through to victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#3201 Some people think truth pertains to things they
can see with their physical eye, but you can’t see the things of the Spirit.
Spiritual things are not natural and they are not material. Everything we need
is provided for us in the spiritual realm by God’s Word. Ephesians 1:3 says,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ. This scripture means
that everything we need has been provided for us in Christ Jesus. You can’t see
those things, but they are there because God’s Word says they are there. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.
#3202 There is sense-knowledge truth and there is
revelation truth. When sense-knowledge truth contradicts revelation truth — the
truth of God’s Word — then I start walking by revelation truth. I walk by what
God has said in His Word. That which is in the spiritual realm is made real in
the natural realm through my faith in the Word of God. My faith grasps it and
creates the reality of it in my life (Romans 4:17). So when you pray,
believe that you receive whatever it is you are praying for, and you shall have
it. That’s beyond natural thinking. In fact, the natural mind can’t grasp it.
The majority of the leaders of our churches today are sense-knowledge people.
Sense knowledge has taken the church captive. We are to walk by faith and not
by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Believe the truth and not a lie. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#3203 It’s not just about learning to say faith words,
it’s having faith thoughts so we’re not double-minded. Nancy Dufresne
#3204 Your faith doesn’t do the work,
your faith opens the door so God can do the work! Nancy Dufresne
#3205 Don’t complain about mountains—speak to them—say, “Get out of my
sight,” “Be thou removed!” It seems crazy to some people to talk to problems
directly, but that’s what works. You may think words are only for people or God
to hear, but your “mountain” must also hear your voice. Jesse Duplantis
#3206 Words aren't only
for people to hear, but your “mountain” also needs to hear your voice. The
“mountain” may be sickness, debt, or fear. Whatever you think you’re “stuck
with” can be unstuck by your words. Your words dissolve the glue that's kept
obstacles in place for so long. Jesse Duplantis
#3207 Any “valley” or
challenge marked by lack can’t possibly be something God wants you to stay in.
“Valleys” in life aren't meant to be permanent for the believer. Instead of
going through the challenges, they convince themselves God must want them to live
there in the lack valley. God does not expect you to stay in the valley. Jesse
Duplantis
#3208 We need to exercise
our God-given dominion over fear, depression, sickness and every work of the
devil. You can dominate circumstances instead of being dominated by them! Kick
the devil out and take charge of your life today! Cathy Duplantis
#3209 The root of unbelief
is a lack of love. Andrew Wommack
#3210 We must speak forth
our healing. Pray it. Confess it. Profess it. Declare it. Keep doing these
things until you receive the manifestation of it! Kenneth Copeland
#3211 Angels are powerful,
and they're all around you. They’re waiting and listening for you to speak
God’s Word with faith, so they can carry it out for you. Whatever your
situation, believe and speak God’s Word, knowing the angels He specifically
assigned you will make it happen! Kenneth Copeland
#3212 God wants you healed
in EVERY area of life. So, how do we receive that healing? By believing Jesus
took our punishment. By His stripes, you ARE healed. Believe it, take it, and
allow His resurrection life to bring healing to you! Kenneth Copeland
#3213 Laid-back faith is
slooow! Aggressive faith changes things, people and circumstances! Gloria
Copeland
#3214 Feed your faith and
you will grow. George Pearsons
#3215 You
must look beyond what you can see, even if your senses give you no assurance.
Jesse Duplantis
#3216 I will
walk by faith even when I cannot see. 2 Corinthians 5:7
#3217 Faith
in God includes faith in His timing. Neal A. Maxwell
#3218 That
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Ephesians 3:17
#3219 For by
grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the
gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
#3220 It is
our responsibility to enforce Jesus’ victory and Satan’s defeat. George
Pearsons
#3221 Your
hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep the faith.
It will all be worth it in the end.
#3222 When
you can’t put your prayer into words, God hears your heart.
#3223 Pray
more, worry less.
#3224 With
God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
#3225 May
the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you. The
Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
#3226
Challenges will come to you. But as you trust in God, they will strengthen your
faith. Neil A. Andersen
#3227
Sometimes your only transportation is a leap of faith. Margaret Shepard
#3228 I
believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right
attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors. Joel Osteen
#3229 Faith
tells me that no matter what lies ahead of me, God is already there.
#3230 Faith
is not believing that God can, but that He will.
#3231 Those
who leave everything in God’s hand will eventually see God’s hand in
everything.
#3232 Faith
moves mountains. Doubt creates them.
#3233 Have
faith in God. God has faith in you.
#3234 Faith
it until you make it.
#3235 Faith
is all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you know it
will.
#3236 Faith
in God includes faith in His timing.
#3237 Let
faith be bigger than your fears.
#3238 Keep
the faith. The things you’re most believing for and hoping for tend to arrive
at the most unexpected moments.
#3239 Where
there is hope, there is faith. Where there is faith, miracles happen.
#3240 Don’t
tell God how big your storm is, tell your storm how big your God is.
#3241 Faith
is trusting God even when you don’t understand His plan.
#3242 Faith
without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.
#3243 I have
discovered that the Lord’s “no’s” are preludes to an even greater “yes”.
#3244 Hope
is the ability to hear the music of the future. Faith is the courage to dance
to it today.
#3245 Have
faith … your attitude affects the outcome.
#3246 “Be
still and know that I am God.” Psalms 46:10
#3247 Do
your best and let God do the rest.
#3248 Faith
is like Wi-Fi. It’s invisible but has the power to connect you to what you
need.
#3249 Faith
does not make things easy, it makes things possible.
#3250 God
can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing. All you need
is faith.
#3251 Trust
in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5
#3252 We
must live by faith and not by fear.
#3253 Choose
faith over fear.
#3254 Act
with faith and not fear.
#3255 Fear
is the absence of faith.
#3256 Do not
be afraid, just believe only.
#3257 The
first factor in living by faith is our pursuit of God.
#3258 We
live by faith and not by sight.
#3259 Faith requires corresponding action to be released.
Declare this: “My faith must have corresponding action or it’s dead. Therefore,
I choose to act on The WORD and what I believe. I will express my faith through
my actions, so it can be released!” Kenneth Copeland
#3260 Faith and
believing are synonymous. Faith is not acting on what I believe. Faith is my
confidence in God, just as believing is a decision to place my confidence in
God. James 2:6 is not about manifesting things by faith. It’s about my actions
reflecting my FAITH IN HIM! Kenneth Copeland
#3261 Say
with your mouth what you believe in your heart! Kenneth
Copeland
#3262 In order to thrive during these chaotic times, our hearts must be
established. George Pearsons
#3263 The words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
#3264 If you
shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it. John 14:14
#3265 When you
have faith in God, you don't have to worry about the future. You just know it's
all in His hands. You just go to and do your best. Elder Bryan Mathison
#3266 Faith is unseen but felt, faith is strength when we
feel we have none, faith is hope when all seems lost. Catherine Pulsifer
#3267 Every day you need to get a full
dose of the Word and meditate on scripture, and if you discipline yourself and
remain consistent, your faith will grow and mature, and remember that God, the
Word, and your faith, is a recipe for success. Stephanie Williams
#3268 Just as love is a verb, so is faith.
#3269 If you lose faith, you lose all. Eleanor
Roosevelt
#3270 A
grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It
is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage,
contentment, happiness, love, and well being. James E. Faust
#3271 Faith gives you an
inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life. Gregory Peck
#3272 True faith rests
upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections
of the One who cannot lie. A.W. Tozer
#3273 In faith,
there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind
those who don’t. Blaise Pascal
#3274 Faith is to believe
what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Saint
Augustine
#3275 Seeds of faith are
always within us; sometimes it takes a crisis to nourish and encourage their
growth. Susan L. Taylor
#3276 I don't think that
we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have
to have faith. Nicholas Sparks
#3277 Never be afraid to
trust an unknown future to a known God. Corrie ten Boom
#3278 Any faith that must
be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith. A.W. Tozer
#3279 All I have seen
teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson
#3280 To love means loving
the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means
believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
G.K. Chesterton
#3281 Now faith is the
assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
#3282 Commit your way to
the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act. He will bring forth your
righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Psalm 37:5-6
#3283 For nothing will be impossible
with God. Luke 1:37
#3284 Then Jesus said,
“Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” John
11:40
#3285 For by grace you
have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift
of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
#3286 But when you ask,
you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of
the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6
#3287 And Jesus said to
him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered
his sight and followed him on the way. Mark 10:52
#3288 But someone will
say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your
works, and I will show you my faith by my works. James 2:18
#3289 In the same way, let
your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give
glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
#3290 For everyone who has
been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome
the world—our faith. 1 John 5:4
#3291 I believe that God
has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When
you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a
person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of
any situation. Joel Osteen
#3292 It's important to
believe in yourself and the beauty of your dreams and to not let anyone tell
you different. Victoria Arlen
#3293 Believe in yourself!
Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in
your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Norman Vincent Peale
#3294 Faith is about
doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe. Mitch Albom
#3295 Faith is the
strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. Helen Keller
#3296 Faith is a state of
openness or trust. Alan Watts
#3297 Every experience God
gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the
future that only He can see. Corrie ten Boom
#3298 When a person is
resolute [determined, sold out, dedicated, single-minded] in his faith and
recognizes God's Presence everywhere, he is protected from all sides. Gloria

#3299 There has never been
a miracle drug that could equal the Word of God. God's medicine is the answer
to every need. Gloria Copeland
#3300 It is easy in
ministry or in life, to begin to rely on acquired knowledge instead of fresh
knowledge revealed. We must maintain our union with Him to enjoy fresh oil and
then there is no old oil. The life of God or presence of God can't be stored, it
has to be current. It is a well of life, continually outflowing. Gloria
Copeland
#3301 Prayer does not
cause faith to work, faith causes prayer to work. Gloria Copeland
#3302 God's will
concerning financial prosperity and abundance is clearly revealed in the
Scriptures. Gloria Copeland
#3303 If you are sad and
depressed, that means you're not believing God. Gloria Copeland
#3304 What you do with
your eyes in some cases is a matter of life and death. To look at and focus on
the sickness brings death. To look at and focus on God's Word brings life.
Gloria Copeland
#3305 It is easy in ministry or in life, to

#3306 What is the very first thing we are to do in trouble? Fear not. If we
fear, we open the door to the devil. If we trust God, we open the door to God.
#3307 “Fear not!” were usually the first words
out of their mouths. That’s because fear and faith don’t mix. They cannot come
out of you at the same time. When you begin saying things that are out of line
with the Word of God by speaking in fear instead of in faith, you bind the
hands of your angels. You prevent them from doing what they are called to do.
Gloria Copeland
#3308 Why didn’t Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego burn? It certainly
wasn’t because the fire had no power. It had power all right. It had enough
power to kill the mighty men in the king’s army who threw them into it. It just
had no power over the bodies of God’s men. Gloria Copeland
#3309 We all know that God doesn’t change (James 1:17). He has not
changed since the beginning of time (Malachi 3:6). For healing to pass away,
then God would have to pass away. He is still the Lord that healeth us! Gloria
Copeland
#3310 We make our own plans and expect God to back them. Man plans his
way, but the Lord directs his steps (Proverbs 16:9). Gloria Copeland
#3311 Actually, offense is a sign of fear. If you’re offended, it’s
because you’re afraid that person can harm you in some way. Gloria Copeland

#3316 If you stick with the Word and keep growing, your flesh can
develop the habit of righteousness just like it developed the habit of
unrighteousness. Don’t starve your spirit. Gloria Copeland
#3317 People with the spirit of faith always receive the blessings of
God. Gloria Copeland
#3318 When we understand and believe that God’s ultimate purpose in our
having faith in Him is to bless someone else, then nothing is impossible.
Gloria Copeland
#3319 I say what God’s Word says. I say what I want to come to pass. And
I trust God. Gloria Copeland
#3320 If you want to change your circumstances, you must have faith in

#3321 Let’s keep living by faith until the day comes when we hear Jesus
say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Gloria Copeland
#3322 When a person is resolute [determined, sold out, dedicated,

#3644 Faith is unseen yet
felt. Faith is strength when we feel we have none. Faith is hope when all seems
lost.
#3645 To one who has
faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is
possible.
#3646 That is the
definition of faith – acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that
which we cannot prove.
#3647 Now faith is the
confidence of what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see.
#3648 Faith is the art of
holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing
moods.
#3649 Faith means you have
it in your heart before you have it in your circumstances.
#3650 Faith and prayer are
the vitamins of the soul. Man cannot live in health without them.
#3651 I believe every one
of us is born with a purpose. No matter who you are, what you do, or how far
you think you have to go, you have been tapped by a force greater than yourself
to step into your God-given calling.
#3652 Optimism is am
alienated form of faith, pessimism an alienated form of despair.
#3653 When you have faith,
you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You’ll be able to find solutions
for whatever you’re going through because deep down you know that no
challenging situation is permanent and this too shall pass.
#3654 Patience is not the
ability to wait. Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, constantly take
action to turn it to positive growth opportunities, and have faith to believe
that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.
#3655 I don’t think were
meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to
have faith.
#3656 To have faith is to
trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water,
because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax and float.
#3657 Make space in your
life for the glorious things you deserve. Have faith.
#3658 And whatever you ask
in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. Matthew 21:22
#3659 Let your life
reflect the faith you have in God. Fear nothing and pray about everything. Be
strong, trust God’s Word, and trust the process.
#3660 And now these three
remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians
13:13
#3661 All I have seen
teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
#3662 If you think you can
win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
#3663 Through hard work,
perseverance and faith in God, you can live your dreams.
#3664 Faith gives you an
inner strength, and a sense of balance and perspective in life.
#3665 Faith is not desire,
faith is will. Desires are things that need to be satisfied. Will is a force
that changes everything around us.
#3666 Believing involves
thinking, talking and acting as though you have already received what you’ve
asked for.
#3667 Sometimes it’s
better to take a leap of faith and just believe what you hear instead of trying
to find the story behind it.
#3668 Every great move
forward in your life begins with a leap of faith, a step into the unknown.
#3669 The miracles is in
the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know
that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.
#3670 Be brave and take
risks. You need to have faith in God. You don’t have to have it all figured out
to move forward.
#3671 Not a single bird
makes its first leap from a tree without faith, and not a single animal in the
jungle begins its day without faith.
#3672 There are many
talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they overthought it,
or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.
#3673 Take a leap of faith
and see that these troubled waters have no power over you unless you give it to
them, and even then they lie.
#3674 Leave behind your
old self and take a leap of faith into the unknown, you will surely find out
what you are truly capable of becoming. Always have faith.
#3675 Take a leap of
faith. You will either land somewhere new or learn to fly.
#3676 Take a leap of faith
and begin this wondrous new year by believing.
#3677 It only takes one
idea, one second in time, one friend, one dream, one leap of faith, to change everything
forever.
#3678 The presence of fear
does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a
visitor and not a resident.
#3679 Faith and fear both
demand that you believe in something you cannot see. You choose.
#3680 Fear is a self
imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be.
You must move against it with the weapons of faith and love.
#3681 Fear cannot exist in
the presence of faith. Fear only exists because you feel that you are not in
control. Give up the need to be in control, take a leap in faith and fear will
vanish as the mists in the morning sun.
#3682 Both faith and fear
may sail into your harbor, but only you allow faith to drop anchor.
#3683 Fear imprisons,
faith liberates. Fear paralyzes, faith empowers. Fear disheartens, faith
encourages. Fear sickens, faith heals.
#3684 There are two
primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to
destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate
you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself
into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever.
#3685 Fear and faith have
something in common. They both ask us to believe in something we cannot see.
#3686 Fear is faith that
it won’t work.
#3687 You can’t walk in
faith and fear at the same time.
#3688 Faith and fear
cannot coexist in our hearts at the same time.
#3689 Faith involves
believing the unbelievable.
#3690 Faith is taking the
first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
#3691 Some things have to
be believed to be seen.
#3692 Without faith,
nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.
#3693 Belief clings, but
faith lets go.
#3694 The principal part
of faith is patience.
#3695 Having faith in God
does not mean sitting back and doing nothing. It means believing you will find
success if you do your best energetically and honestly.
#3696 Sorrow looks back,
worry looks around, faith looks ahead.
#3697 A man of courage is
also full of faith.
#3698 The most important
things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying
when there seemed to be no hope at all.
#3699 The seeds of courage
sprouts in the soil of perseverance and become faith.
#3700 Be faithful in small
things because it is in them that your strength lies.

#3708 You were made by God and for God and until you understand that
life will never make sense. – Rick Warren
#3709 Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you
believe.
#3710 Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.
#3711 Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be
done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller
#3712 To have faith is to trust yourself to the
water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you
will sink and drown. Instead, you relax, and float.
#3713 Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried
about yesterday.
#3714 To love means loving the unlovable.
To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the
unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless. G.K. Chesterton
#3715 I believe though I do not comprehend, and I hold by
faith what I cannot grasp with the mind. Saint Bernard
#3716 It’s worth taking a risk when
motivated by faith in God’s Word.

Frederick Buechner
#3718 As you practice counting your
blessings, you will find that your faith is being suddenly revitalized. Robert
Schuller

or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the
possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them
with courage, faith, and hope. Thomas Merton
#3720 This is what the past is for! Every experience God
gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the
future that only He can see. Corrie ten Boom

this faith is to see what you believe.

loving, kind and generous human. Find something you are passionate about, then
do it. This will bring you all of the happiness you desire.

tomorrow will bring, but you must keep moving forward with a brave heart.
#3770 By living in your
heart and following your passions, you create joy. From joy comes gratitude and

Love and allow yourself to be loved.

out of a tough situation with more strength than you knew you had.
#3773 Love is all there
is. Let love be the driving force in your life.
#3774 Learning to trust
yourself is one of life’s greatest lessons. And with it come life’s greatest
rewards.
#3775 When we choose love,
we chose joy. Allow joy be a part of your life.
#3776 The tide will come
in and out, seasons will change. Stay strong, things will get better for you.
This too, shall pass.

trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water,
because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead, you relax, and float. Alan
Watts
#3796 Faith is about
letting go to the flow of life. You don’t need to question every life decision
every day. Trust your inward discernment, trust that the Holy Spirit is with
you and leading you.
#3797 Faith is sitting in
the middle of the storm of your life and still being able to close your eyes
and picture the sunny skies.
#3798 Still being able to feel the better days coming, despite the storm all
around you, that’s faith.
#3799 Everyone falls down,
makes mistakes, and faces tough obstacles in life. What matters is whether we
keep our faith not only during the happy times but also during the tough times.
Keep believing. Keep picturing it will happen, and it will happen.
#3800 The mind will always
bombard you with questions when you try to believe in yourself. But it is the
light of faith that illuminates the truth that we should keep moving forward.

is arrogant because God knows what He’s doing. Barbara Camero
#3802 Our
anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its
strengths. Charles H. Spurgeon
#3803 Worrying doesn’t
help the things we worry about. It only makes today worse, makes us fearful in
the now and saps our energy.
#3804 Faith
consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
Voltaire
#3805 The mind will create
fear and ask you to justify your faith. But faith is based on knowledge and
revelation that comes from the heart (God deposits it into your heart so that
you have understanding).
#3806 My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t
dictate my happiness, my inner peace. Denzel Washington
#3807 What is happening
inside doesn’t matter. What matters is how you respond to those circumstances.
When you are centered on the inside, external circumstances can’t shake you.
#3808 God,
our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential
strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap into and develop these abilities.
#3809 There are many
talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they over thought
it, or they were too cautious and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.
James Cameron
#3810 Many
people want to be singers, filmmakers, writers etc. But they don’t follow their
hearts because of fear of failure which comes from the mind. If we take the leap
of faith, we will find that the fear was just an illusion.
#3811 Faith is not
believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God
when everything in me trembles and quakes. Beth Moore

in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your
reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. C.S. Lewis

inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life. Gregory Peck

of the One who cannot lie. A.W. Tozer

enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those
who don't. Blaise Pascal

need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present
moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. Thomas Merton

He has ever or will ever say is true. The simplicity of faith is this: taking

strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. Helen Keller
#3828 Jesus Christ is
indeed the answer to all our questions.
#3829 Faith is a state of
openness or trust. Alan Watts
#3830 Sometimes the worst
conditions can often provide the best atmosphere to act in faith. God doesn't
want our confidence regulated by our audience. If faith-discouragers can shake
our confidence badly enough to disable us, our confidence may be in ourselves
instead of God. Beth Moore
#3831 We can let go of
burdens like condemnation and worry, perfectionism and insecurity. And we can
cling desperately—even through tears—to the assurance that God knows, he cares,
and he loves us with an infinite love. We can lay our burdens at the feet of Christ
and receive what He offers instead. Sarah J. Hauser

things because it is in them that your strength lies. Mother Teresa

G.K. Chesterton
#3836 All I have seen
teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson
#3837 To have faith in
Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense
in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus, if you
have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to
obey Him. C.S. Lewis
#3838 It is a blessing for
our children to see us live out our faith—trusting in God’s good character and

gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the
future that only He can see. Corrie ten Boom
#3844 If patience is worth
anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in
the midst of the blackest storm. Mahatma Gandhi
#3845 I am fundamentally
an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say.
Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's
feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was
sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That
way lays defeat and death. Nelson Mandela
#3846 To one who has
faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is
possible. Thomas Aquinas
#3847 We’re often
intimidated in battle because we are uncertain of our faith. We must remember
we don’t stand in victory because of our faith. We stand in victory because of
our God. Faith in a living, active God moves mountains. Beth Moore
#3848 The new life into
which we are baptized is lived out in days, hours, and minutes. God is forming
us into a new people. And the place of that formation is in the small moments
of today. Tish Harrison Warren
#3849 Just as love is a
verb, so is faith. Nannie Helen Burroughs

sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God
at His Word and taking the next step. Joni Eareckson Tada
#3858 God answers our
prayers not because we are good, but because He is good. Aiden Wilson Tozer
#3859 Love means to commit
oneself wholeheartedly, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love
will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is
of great faith is also of great love. Erich Fromm
#3860 The beginning of
anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of
anxiety. George Muller
#3861 When you come to the
end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the
unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will
be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly. Edward Teller
#3862 If we do not fill
our mind with prayer, it will fill itself with anxieties, worries, temptations,
resentments, and unwelcome memories. Scott Hahn

virtue; but, in the broad world of a person's total voyage through time to
eternity, faith is not only a gracious companion, but an essential guide.

believe will determine the future you experience. Steven Furtick

and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place
all his confidence in God. ~ Thomas a Kempis

ingredient is needed to keep you fighting when it seems that everything is
against you. Norman Vincent Peale

from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God. Blaise Pascal
#3878 God is more

my thought life and strengthening my character. Joni Eareckson Tada

not compliance. George MacDonald

confidence. Helen Keller

the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means

things away to be cruel. He takes things away to make room for other things. He
takes things away to lighten us. He takes things away so we can fly. Pat
Summitt
#3906 My hope lives not
because I am perfect, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died; my trust

now doing for me. Hallelujah! Charles Spurgeon

stake his life on it a thousand times. Martin Luther

faith. Erich Fromm
#3911 There is no such
thing as a lack of faith. We all have been given the measure of faith. It's
just that we have faith in the wrong things. We have faith in what can't be

but there is no lack of faith. Faith is a law. Eric Butterworth

your faith in uncommon ways, you’ll see God do uncommon things. Joel Osteen

#3943 The "door of
faith" (Acts 14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of
communion with God and offering entry into his Church. It is possible to cross
that threshold when the Word of God is proclaimed and the heart allows itself
to be shaped by transforming grace. To enter through that door is to set out on
a journey that lasts a lifetime. Pope Benedict XVI

necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing. Victor Hugo
#3950 I do not believe in
a God who would set up rules and commandments only to wait for us to fail so He
could punish us. I believe in a Heavenly Father who is loving and caring and
who rejoices in our every effort to stand tall and walk toward Him. Even when
we stumble, He urges us not to be discouraged-never to give up or flee our
allotted field of service-but to take courage, find our faith, and keep trying.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

powerful thing in the universe ... words are containers. They contain faith, or
fear, and they produce after their kind. Charles Capps
#3952 Talk unbelief, and
you will have unbelief; but talk faith, and you will have faith. According to
the seed sown will be the harvest. Ellen G. White
#3953 Patience is tied
very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly
impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best—better than does God.
Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His. We can
grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and
patterns to unfold in our lives, on His timetable. Neal A. Maxwell

self-confidence we need God-confidence. Joyce Meyer

you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He
can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think

we have faith and passion.
#3978 We are a long time
in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God. David Brainerd
#3979 Ye children of
promise who are awaiting your call to glory, take possession of the inheritance
that now is yours. By faith take the promises. Live upon them, not upon
emotions. Remember, feeling is not faith. Faith grasps and clings to the
promises. Faith says, "I am certain, not because feeling testifies to it,
but because God says it." Bernard de Mandeville
#3980 Faith means being
sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment,
all around you, even when you don't see it. Joni Eareckson Tada

rather than taught. Henrietta Mears
#3982 True faith always
produces real conformity to Christ. R. C. Sproul

in faith … Stay in peace … Stay in love … Stay in fellowship … Keep sowing seed
for the sake of eternity … Will experience a supernatural power that will cause
them to be Unmoved … Unshaken … Well provided for … And they will have a
much-needed: Divine assurance … Divine peace … Divine power … Divine and supernatural victory.
Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4017 One
of the purposes of prophecy is to wage a good warfare using the sure words of
God that you receive from Him. Paul told Timothy, “This charge I commit unto
thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that
thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18). So as Paul told
Timothy, we need to pay attention to what the Holy Spirit has prophetically
spoken to us and wage a good warfare with it. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4018 I
want to expound from Scripture about what it means to stay in faith … stay
in peace … stay in love … stay in fellowship … and keep sowing seed for
the sake of eternity. But today we will begin with what it means
to stay in faith. The King James Version of Hebrews 11:1 says,
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.” Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4019 First,
the word “faith” in Hebrews 11:1 is translated from the Greek word pistis,
a well-known word that comes from a root that means to persuade, to
trust, or to believe. It also pictures a “divine
spark” given by God that enables you to believe. In ancient times, the
word pistis referred to a guarantee or warranty of
something that was sure. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4020 Importantly,
the Greek word pistis also depicts something moving forward,
like a force that is propelled forward and is moving toward a
goal. Faith is like a bullet shot from a gun — once it has been released,
it moves forward and never stops until it reaches its goal. To be clear, that
means real faith is never in retreat. So if you are in retreat, you are not
moving in faith! Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4021 Second,
let’s look at the word “substance” in Hebrews 11:1 — a word that is derived
from the Greek word hupostasis, a compound
of hupo and histimi. The word hupo means by, and
the word histimi means to stand. Literally, it means to
stand by something. It refers to the attitude and actions of one who has
determined to stand by something promised and refuses to budge from it. It
pictures a fixed decision that one has made to be unmoving and to stay or
stand by the promise that he is believing will come to pass. Greek Theologian
Rick Renner
#4022 You
might say the meaning of the word “substance” is a lot like a bulldog that has
found the bone of its dreams and has locked its jaws around it, refusing to let
go. It doesn’t matter how hard anyone pulls on the bone or tries to retrieve
it, that dog is not going to let it loose. In the same way, when you’re in
faith, you relentlessly stand by what God has said in His Word, and like a
bulldog clutching its bone, you continue to tenaciously hold on to His promises
until they become a reality in your life. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4023 As an
example, let’s say you have been standing by God’s promises for
healing and have chosen you’ll never let go until your healing is manifested.
Or let’s say you’ve been standing by God’s promise for financial
provision or the restoration of your relationships. And just like a bulldog who
refused to let go of his bone, you are holding on to and standing
by God’s promise! In other words, you have decided that you will NEVER let
go of that promise until it is manifested in your life! THAT, my friend, is an
example of what the word “substance” means in Hebrews 11:1. Greek Theologian
Rick Renner
#4024 Third,
let’s look at the words “hoped for” in Hebrews 11:1. These words are translated
from a form of the Greek word elpidzo, which DOES NOT picture a “hope-so”
kind of hope, but rather pictures a confident expectation of
something. In other words, it does not mean, “I hope this will
happen,” but, instead, it means, “I confidently expect this to
happen!” Although it has not happened yet, there is an active expectation
that it will take place. The tense of the word elpidzo here
is continuous. Hence, it is something continuously being hoped for,
even if the manifestation has not come yet. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4025 Fourth,
let’s look at the word “evidence,” which is translated from a form of the Greek
word elegchos, a term regularly used in a court of law. When used in a
positive sense, it means to convince someone of something. Thus, when you
are in faith, you have a very strong conviction that what God has promised is
undoubtedly going to happen. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4026 If
you consider all four of these Greek words in Hebrews 11:1, it tells us that: FAITH
is a “divine spark” from God to believe. FAITH is a force that propels us
forward toward a goal and it is never in retreat. FAITH stands by and never
lets go of what it is believing God for. FAITH is a strong conviction that what
God has promised is going to happen. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4027 If you put all this together, it means
Hebrews 11:1 carries this idea: “Faith belligerently stands by what it is
believing for; it continuously confidently expects it to come to pass; and it
is convinced what it is believing will happen!” Then Hebrews 11:6 goes on to
say, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him.” Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4028 Most
people think the words “without faith” describe an absence of faith, but the
word “without” is translated from the Greek word choris, and it
means without, as being outside of a specific place. For example, you can
be inside your house or outside your house, or you can be in the city or out of
the city — but you can’t be in both places at the same time. This
word choris — translated here as “without” — describes faith as
a location that you can be in or out of. That means faith is a place,
and you can be in faith or out of faith. Greek Theologian
Rick Renner
#4029 So
what does it mean for you to be in faith or to “stay in a place of
faith?” It means to continuously stand by and stay with the calling
or promise that God made to you. That calling or promise is your assignment —
it is the location where you need to be. You can
stay in it, or you can move out of it, but to “stay in
faith” means you have made the decision to be unmoving and that you will not
budge from the calling or promise God made. It means you are going to
belligerently stand by it until you see its manifestation! Greek Theologian
Rick Renner
#4030 To be
“without faith” means to be outside of faith — to move out of or to
leave your assignment or promise — and Hebrews 11:6 says when one abandons the
assignment or promise of God, it is impossible for him or her to please Him in
that place. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4031 To
stay in faith means to stick with the assignment, calling, or promise God gave
you — it is your place of faith! If you want to bring pleasure to God, you
have to stay in that place. That means you have to stay in alignment
with what God has called you to do or stick with what He has promised
you. You must be determined to stay there until you have received or fulfilled
what God has said. And Hebrews 11:6 says that when you stay in faith in this
way, you please God! Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4032 But then Hebrews 11:6 goes on to say that God is a “rewarder” of them
that diligently seek Him. The word “rewarder” is the Greek
word misthapodotes, a word that describes money, salary, or a payment
that is due. Greek
Theologian Rick Renner
#4033 It can also
describe a recompense, reimbursement, settlement, or reparation. It
depicts being reimbursed for an expense a person has paid out of his own
pocket in order to get his job done; a full and complete recompense. In
this verse, it denotes the one who pays, rewards, or gives what one has
coming to him or a paymaster. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4034 This
lets us know that when you get into agreement with the promise God has given
you, and you choose to “stay in faith” — which includes staying in the place He
has assigned you to be or sticking with the promise God made to you — a moment
will finally come when God, the Great Paymaster, will richly reward you with
His rewards. And He will fully recompense and richly reimburse you for
everything you have invested along the way — as you stayed in your place of faith!
Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4035 Wow! The
full message of Hebrews 11:1 and 6 is the following: You must believe
what God has said…You must stand by it, stick with it, and never budge from
it…You must know that a payday is coming when God will reward you for staying
in faith! Greek
Theologian Rick Renner
#4036 What is the
assignment or calling that God has given you? What is the promise of God’s Word
that you have been standing on? If you will “stay in faith” and refuse to move
away from what God has told you or promised you, His power and promise will be
released! Greek
Theologian Rick Renner
#4037 In spite of anything
going on around you, this will cause you to be unmoved, unshaken,
and well provided for. And this kind of bulldogged faith will
produce divine assurance, divine peace, divine power,
and divine and supernatural victory! Greek Theologian Rick Renner
#4038 When you begin to step out on faith, your
critics have to justify why they are still sitting in the boat! Paula
White-Cain
#4039 Faith causes a calm confidence that God is
going to work it all out. Paul White-Cain
#4040 Faith expects God to do it. Hope anticipates
when God will do it! Paula White-Cain
#4041 When you can’t trace His hand, you can
always trust His heart! Paul White-Cain
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
