In this episode, Pastor Tyus elaborates on effective growth & change stages. He encourages us with scriptural texts from Philippians, Ephesians, and Matthew! Be prepared to be energized!

Philippians 1:6 - “He who has begun a good work unto us will carry it out till completion."

4:45 - "God is not asking you to be perfect, but to have perfect intentions on growing!"

6:20 - Ephesians 4:14-15. Be purposeful & not emotionally driven in your actions. Talk, think and behave as mature spiritual men and women. The devil can't make you do anything; he can only make suggestions. You have to choose to act or not. The choice is always yours.

12:30 - Meditate on good thoughts and the word of God daily! As a man thinketh, he becomes, Proverbs 23:7. Your actions often show what you think and believe. Let's work to be intentional in thoughts and words. We should evaluate our actions regularly to see if what we do aligns with our purpose.

16:08 - Everything you do starts with a decision followed by an action. What motives are driving your choices?

19:00 - Matthew 9:9-13. Most people can't grow cause they don't realize they are sick. Jesus came to heal and set people free. We must be able to recognize when we need help from our savior. If we are well, we should be immersing ourselves in His work for us.

33:07 - "You can't grow spiritually if you're not intentionally committed. Focus on God's purpose for you & not their opinion of you."
