Mindset For Success

You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.

Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. - Deuteronomy 33:26-27a (NLT) We must cease striving and trust God to provide what He thinks is best and in whatever time He chooses to make it available.

It's a spiritual crisis of the will in which we must choose to exercise faith. - Charles Swindoll Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. - Proverbs 3:5-8 (ESV) You become stronger only when you become weaker. When you surrender your will to God, you discover the resources to do what God requires.– Erwin Lutzer Concerning this, I pleaded with t

Jesus spoke these things, and raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You, just as You gave Him authority over all mankind, so that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. - John 17:1-3 (NASB) I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the center of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy?

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him? Don’t you

“I am the First and the Last; there is no other God. Who is like me? Let him step forward and prove to you his power. Let him do as I have done since ancient times when I established a people and explained its future. Do not tremble; do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses—is there any other God? No! There is no other Rock—not one!” - Isaiah 46:6b-8 (NLT) What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. - A.

Packer, Knowing God For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you. Then [with a deep longin

Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people, Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?” God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.” But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is His name?’ Then what should I tell them?” God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.
