The picture you have in your heart is more important than what you have in your wallet, your past, your friends, your education, or anything else. Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows your life!

God created us for dignity and with a purpose! He created us to know His love and goodness through our relationship with Him, and to take that love and goodness out into the world with us and share it with others. How do we do that? “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give”! (Matthew 10:8)

Do you recognize the importance of your dreams? Many dismiss their dreams because they dismiss themselves. Don’t let life, people, failure, or your present condition keep you from the seed of a dream in your heart!

We must always remember, the Cross precedes the Power. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” The love of God is what motivates us to minister the life of God to people as they are healed, delivered and set free!

Scripture tells us in Ephesians 1:6 that we are seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That’s not a future promise, it’s a present reality that will help you greatly as you navigate the challenges you will face on this earth. Our position in Christ is secure, and if we will look at ourselves from His perspective we will rise above the mountains and the enemies before us!

Jesus paid the price for our sin and sickness and disease on the cross. So it’s not, “I’m GOING to be healed,” but rather, “I AM healed already! Not because I feel healed or look healed, but because the Word of God is more powerful than the way I feel or look!”

You might have been born into a poor family, with a poor education and poor friends in a poor neighborhood, but you do NOT have to stay there! There is no one limiting you. You are not a prisoner of your past, your neighborhood, your status or lack of education. When Christ comes to live in you there is a new power in operation!

Never allow your fears of what people think of you prevent you from sharing the gospel. You are the worker God has sent to intercept for Christ every life that intersects your path. Don’t let those opportunities pass you by!

The average Christian has a hit or miss attitude towards prayer. For some it is an afterthought when all else has failed. Jesus Himself challenges us when He tells us we are to expect specific answers when we pray (Mark 11:24). Without answers our faith life will dry up, as will our excitement in following Christ. The only difference between us and just another religion is answered prayer!

People are looking for a demonstration of the Gospel—a manifestation of God in their midst! The want to know the reality that the Jesus who died 2,000 years ago has risen from the dead and is alive and moving in the earth!
