Through faith, not only are we justified, but we are also qualified. Jesus dying for our sins gave us the free gift of justification - the same way our faith in God has given us the qualifications to fulfill our life purpose no matter how big they are.

It's hard to do the right thing at inconvenient times. However, in these inconvenient times, our responses hold the most weight. What we decide to do at our most uncomfortable periods can yield the most growth.

Faith is like the gateway between everything God wants to do in our lives and the physical realm. We have the responsibility of keeping that gateway open and maintained. If it closes down, we don't receive what's ours. Without faith, we have nothing.

Has the way you've responded to the crisis aligned with the vision of one that has unquenchable faith in God? If not, then there is room to grow, and that starts with acknowledging that we could do better. This is your test, your next response will determine whether you pass or not. Trust God.

When in crisis, the thing that will get you through it all is your knowledge of the truth. The truth is something you must know, it goes beyond feelings - it has the ability to change everything. Our faith in God rests on the truth, so make sure you know it. 

Raise your hand if you don't know what's going to happen next, and fact of not knowing it's been killing you inside. Raise your hand if the pressures to be successful - whether it comes from society, your parents or even your pride - are eating you up. It's time to fear not. Please have a listen.

Oftentimes we allow out eternal identities to be determined by our temporary feelings. This is dangerous, as it makes us vulnerable to satan's influences. We need to find a way to make our feelings conform to our identity, not the other way around.

Jesus never did a miracle with the purpose of PROVING anything to anybody. Everything He did was to serve others. He didn't make a reputation while concerned with the superficial, but by being concerned with service. This is an example we need to emulate. No need to proving what you already know - let your service reveal to "them" who you are.

The obstacles you faced in the past did not make you, nor do they define you. This is a myth. Your responses to those obstacles are what have the true influence on who you are now; Correcting the negative images of the "past you" is imperative. How we view our past selves can very well have an impact on how we approach our future.

We may encounter situations that are great and others that are bad, but that does not mean our mindsets or the narratives of our lives have to follow that fluctuating pattern. There is power in being moderately-minded.
