I want my life to be a display of the power of Christ’s victory running through my veins, not continual defeat by every “woe” of life.
People need to see Christians living out victory in the midst of suffering. Before I see/feel victory, I know the Victor. May my life show it.
Leaders, our compromise for comfort (just keeping the peace) can cultivate someone else’s complacency.
Be bold and courageous in truth and love. This world needs to real gospel.
In many situations the public image that people have of us is more important than the personal relations we develop with them.

They can shut you up everywhere else, girlfriend, but , because of Jesus, nobody can shut your mouth before the throne of God. Ain’t nothing more powerful than prayer, praying woman. Don’t you stop.
The Kingdom of God has no “laity”. Woman and man, disenfranchised, the one with the difficult past... all have a part.
It’s man-made systems that create a divide. That make a hierarchy where the Cross leveled the ground.
Child of God, you are significant in His Kingdom.
Ezra 3:13 (see 10-14)—the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away.
Don’t just add to the noise. The world need clear, distinguished voices.
So busy working for God you fail to enjoy His fellowship? Enjoy this word of hope from Arise Women's "Keepers of The Light" blog by @TenielleLambert where she encourages you that there's always been a seat at the table for you!

Jesus is worthy of our all.
Every single thing.
Hold nothing back.
Surrender it all to him.
He will do more in you, for you, through you and with you, than anyone or anything else.
One of the best things the Lord has done for me lately is remove every label of my labor and restore me to my daughtership with Him.
I am first and foremost His child.
After many years of ministry, I can tell you the number one difference between people who deal with their strongholds and find freedom in Christ and those who don’t. They take responsibility. If we keep blaming everybody else for all our problems, we will never be free.
