Spiritual IQ is totally different from human IQ. Spiritual IQ is the ability to have the invisible ministry of God the Holy Spirit take the power of the living Word of God in your life and place it into your soul where it becomes wisdom. From there, wisdom gives you tremendous phenomenal discernment and insight through the eyes of the Scripture. We call it spiritual X-ray vision. By having wisdom, discernment and insight you can save yourself a lot of trouble and a lot of mistakes.

Adversity is inevitable and stress is optional. Stress is what you do to yourself. Adversity is what circumstances do to you. When we have a national emergency as we have in this country today there are a lot of people stressed out, there are a lot of people afraid and there are a lot of people that don't have peace in their life. This doesn't mean that we don't all face perilous times - it means some people face it with a different attitude, a more relaxed mental attitude and that's the mind of Christ. That's the relaxed mental attitude that goes with what the Lord Jesus Christ said, “…My joy I give unto you…” (John 15:11b). Even in the fiercest battle of life, we can have joy and a relaxed mental attitude by leaning on the FLOT line in our soul.

Because in times like we face today, in crisis living we have today, there is strength to be found in the Scripture, there’s a comfort to be found in the Scripture, there’s confidence in the Scripture - if you believe it and if you use it.

The greatest virtue you could have is to love God because the greatest virtue He showed was loving you. Then there is sharing the happiness of God. A wonderful thing to understand. Christ said, “…My joy I give to you…” (John 15:11b). This is the ability to be happy regardless of the circumstances because you have something called contentment.

Our peace with God is a direct result of accepting Christ, a direct result of receiving Him as our Savior, because since He paid for our sin and God redeemed us by His mercy and saved us and forgave us then we have peace with God.

This is what the Lord Jesus Christ said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid.” Having fear is the expression of anxiety, not peace.

Your Father who loves you, the same way a human dad loves his children, will guard you even in the darkest moments of life. Your Father is watching over you right now. You might not feel it, you might not know it but He's there. Do you have the faith to trust Him?

Afflictions are an opportunity to exercise your faith. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate your confidence in God's plan for your life.

“But whoever listens to me shall dwell in safety, and shall be quiet from fear of evil” (Proverbs 1:33)
