All too often, we are pleasing the enemy MORE than we are pleasing God by living defeated. Jesus did not die for us to walk around defeated. You have the POWER to turn any situation around that you want to.

We have to have a warrior mindset and be engaged at all times. If we are going to move mountains, we cannot be pitiful and powerful at the same time.

One thing is for sure, we can’t be powerful and pitiful at the same time.

Whatever you are going through, it will not last. I promise you. You are not going to stay there. Tell yourself, “I am not staying here. It is just a season.” Seasons change.

When you are loved well, you want more of it. The only reason I believe anyone would not desire to be a disciple of Christ is because they fail to realize just how well loved they are by him. How could you not want to be with someone who loves you well?

Some people will not make the decision to give Jesus love back no matter how great his love is. These folks are who I call “grace users”. They just take advantage of the Lord’s love and kindness. True disciples will love the Lord back. When someone truly opens their heart and falls in love with Jesus, wanting to be his disciple will come naturally to them. Christ’s love is compelling.

Spend some personal time with Jesus and he will reveal himself to you on a deeper level.
