Amazing things always begin with consecration and consecration always ends with amazing.

It’s easy to want what other people have but not go through what they went through to get it. Behind every persons glory there is a story, and the story is usually pretty gory. If we don’t know the backstory we end up comparing our start with their finish. It’s then we get discouraged and want to quit.

Opposition isn’t a sign God’s against you, it might be a sign you’re doing exactly what God wants you to do. The will of God put Paul in prison, Daniel in a lions den, and Joseph in a pit.So don’t worry if you have opposition, worry if you don’t. The moment you are obedient to God’s calling upon your life, there will be opposition. When life gets difficult and challenging, say to yourself, “My calling is too be big to be stopped by something, or someone, so small.

Music was created by God to bring Him glory, but also do us good. When combined with a heart of worship, it is the most powerful expression a human being is capable of. To fail at worshipping God is the greatest failure we, or the church, can have with the gravest and most immediate consequences.

Don’t let your mind bully your body. Don’t let guilt talk you out of what God wants for you. One of the most spiritual things we can do is rest our body and mind. We are not just tired, if we were we could take a nap. Too many of us are empty. We need to be refilled. We need different rhythms, a different pace, we may even to treat ourself and have some fun.

Your thoughts have incredible power over the direction of your life, but the good news is, you have incredible power over your thoughts.

Nothing gets better with worry, but your mental health does get worse.
