Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. (2 Timothy 4:2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s Him who breaks chains, it\u2019s Him who heals, &amp; Him that delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must acknowledge God as God, who has all power &amp; authority in His hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We used to deal with a prosperity gospel but now we are dealing with a popularity gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A saved person\u2019s life demonstrates your salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment you read your word from adoration instead of obligation\u2026 you\u2019re in a real relationship with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see revival, you must revive your reverence for God.. we need a bible revival!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are called to..&nbsp;<br><br>Follow Jesus<br>Fish for souls<br>Forsake Sin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything that is not eternal, is worthless in eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holiness isn\u2019t proving you have more of Jesus, holiness proves that Jesus has more of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are living holy because we want to please Him &amp; we love Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not perfection, it\u2019s making \u2018set apart\u2019 decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We pursue God because He is constantly pursuing us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There could be 1000 steps between us and Him, &amp; His love is so great that He will take 999 of those steps &amp; leave the last one for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He could look at a million people yet you are the only one He sees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hearts burn for Him because His heart burns for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revival is an experience in the church. Evangelism is an expression of the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evangelism is telling people about the grace of God. Discipleship is teaching people how to walk in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gifting draws people to you.
