Affirmation: I choose people to associate with who who are an encouragement to me. I ignore the critics and keep on acting in accordance with my God-given vision.
We are called to an eternal sense of "destiny". What God has made us places upon us an obligation to fulfill the purpose for which we were formed. - Reinhard Bonnke
Jesus, I am resting, resting In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. - Jean Sophia Pigott
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:29

As we receive fresh divine revelation we are empowered to use that revelation as a key for breakthrough. - Sandie Freed
God did not intend the body to relate to the spiritual or supernatural world. Our five senses are all related to the natural, physical world. God never intended man to be controlled or limited by his physical body. You were not created to be intimidated by your environment. - Myles Munroe
Encourage one another and build each other up. - 1 Thessalonians 5:1
When a materialist encounters spiritual things, he has no box in which to put them. He either has to ignore them completely or explain them by natural means, like the bystanders who said God's voice was simply thunder (John 12, 28,29). - Bill Johnson
Isn't it worth the trouble to deny myself daily in order to meet God? - Andrew Murray
Affirmation: I must dig my own well. I must go deeper. I must have my own revelation from the Father of who Jesus is.
The Holy Spirit wants to use your life to manifest, prove, and confirm the reality of the unseen realm. - Keith Miller

"One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; ....to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple." - Psalm 27:4

We deceive ourselves if we believe we can possess the inward reality without its having a profound effect on how we live. To attempt to arrange an outward life-style of simplicity without the inward reality leads to deadly legalism. - Richard Foster
"God made man simple; man's complex problems are of his own devising." - Ecclesiastes 7:30
The more we go on to learn about the Lord Jesus, the more impossible will life be, and situations become, on this earth. - T. Austin-Sparks
All the world is my parish. - John Wesley
Affirmation: I know it's not enough just to know God's will. I continue to seek the Lord until I know God's plan for accomplishing that will.

"Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." - Psalm 33:3

He gave you a blood-bought right to walk in divine health all the days of your life! He gave you a blood-bought right to prosperity even when the economy goes down! - Joseph Prince
Praying sets him who prays to "walk circumspectly, redeeming the time"; enables him to "walk worthy of the vocation (destiny) wherewith he is called with all lowliness and meekness." - E. M. Bounds

Affirmation: Wherever I go, and to wherever my influence extends, I bring the Kingdom of God into that place.
The great need of our time is for Christians to know what God has called them unto. - T. Austin-Sparks
When you lose anything to the locusts (Joel 2:25-26), you can still get it back. You can appropriate the promise that says everything the locust has eaten, God will restore. Then you can use your faith to start expecting it. Every time you speak of it, It will get closer. - Myles Munroe
"And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten....And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord , your God." (Joel 2:25-26)
Fasting reminds us that we are sustained "by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:A4). Food does not sustain us; God sustains us, In Christ, "All things hold together" (Col 1:17). Therefore, in experiences of fasting we are not so much abstaining from food as we are feasting on the word of God. Fasting is feasting! - Richard Foster
One encounter with Jesus Christ is enough to change you, instantly, forever. - Luis Palau
Affirmation: When I come to rest in Him, He will then move through me, and I will actually find rest and refreshment as He does it.
The Holy Spirit does not draw us so we can hang up a "Do Not Disturb" sign and sit in our little comfort zone singing love songs to Jesus the rest of our lives. As fellow heirs with Christ, we are drawn into intimacy, then empowered in ministry to bring others into their destiny in Christ Jesus. - Mike Bickle
You can never pray the prayer of faith if you look at the person who is needing it. There is only one place to look and this is to Jesus. - Smith Wigglesworth
"Holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession." Hebrews 3:1
We can never just cry to God. We must also act. Prayer always leads to entering the fray. The movement of prayer is from God to neighbor. - Charles Ringma
Worldliness is that which cools my affection toward God - John Wesley
Affirmation: I put on, as the elect of God, Holy, and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
If you knew the length, breadth, height, and depth of His perfect love for you, would you still remain anxious, stressed, and worried? - Joseph Prince
In witnessing we work against the Holy Spirit when we try to make everybody feel happy. - Charles Finney
"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." - Luke 9:62
Paul allowed "crazy love" to rise up within his heart, which freed him from insecurity and fear of man. - Sean Smith
Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt. - St. Francis of Assisi

We are all involved. To each of us comes this call: "Come follow me! Ye shall be witnesses unto me!" Each Christian has a story worth telling, and an opportunity to approach another person in a unique way. - Ros Rinker
Rather than the cry for security, we need to hear more of the cry for revelation. This cry is necessary simply because we are safer in the realm of God's way with us than in being encumbered in the way of the world. - Charles Ringma

We are all anointed for the discipleship of new believers as we follow the Spirit's leading. - Patricia King

"I will praise thee forever...- Psalm 52:9
Silence is the simple stillness of the individual under the Word of God. We are silent after hearing the Word because the Word is still speaking and dwelling within us. We are silent at the beginning of the day because God should have the first word, and we are silent before going to sleep because the last word also belongs to God. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is love that causes us to rise up from spiritual sleep and open ourselves to God. Love is the call; and love is the transforming power. - John of the Cross
Affirmation: My assignment as a believer on earth is to destroy the works of the devil.
It generally takes about five exposures to the Gospel message before a person accepts Christ; this is most easily done in the context of a friendship. - Che Ahn
At times there seems to be a stone wall in front of us. Everything seems as black as midnight, and there is nothing left but confidence in God; fidelity and confidence to believe that He will not fail, indeed cannot fail. - Smith Wigglesworth
"He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure." - Psalm 40:2
The heart of abiding faith "leans into God," anticipating His voice, looking for His next move. Like Jesus, we are to be able to say, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me." (John 4:34) - Bill Johnson
