Many believers still struggle with sin, failure, insecurity, depression and poor self image. Most don't realize the effect their mind and thoughts have on their spiritual lives.

How do we know the Lord's timing in our life? Jesus provides us with the perfect example of both waiting and going that we can follow.

A revelation of grace always leads to freedom and joy. We don't have to sin any more to fulfill unmet needs and desires because King Jesus becomes our complete satisfaction.

When Jesus wins our heart through his grace, our natural response is to crown him as Lord of our life. The shocking truth of the gospel transforms us into people that yield and receive from him, not resist and reject him.

We have embraced ideas and values that contradict the Gospel of Jesus Christ being Lord. Let's take an honest look at the Jesus of the Bible as Lord and what the consequences might be if we really embraced him and lived for him alone.

We can dwell in God's house, but not receive anything that he has provided for us there. To change this, we need to believe that we have received his gifts.

Becoming obsessed with what people think about us is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about us. Our worth is based on what he says about us - our focus should be on pleasing him instead of pleasing people.

The key to getting past our past is knowing who we are, because affirmation releases potential. As new persons in Christ, his goodness and mercy will follow us and will never leave.

We are easily offended, but we are called to act like the good shepherd: to give others the benefit of a doubt, not label them and forgive them as we have been forgiven.

We are more connected than ever before and lonelier than ever before. But in the valley of the shadow of death, only a closer relationship with God can help us - not an earthly friend.
