How does a church "go viral?" The Bible says that the apostles "turned their world upside down." There are millions of us, yet we barely extend past our four walls. What was it that the apostles had, what was it that they knew, that we do not?

Some of us are running on empty. Our spiritual gas tank is kept just full enough to keep us going, mostly because it's easy. Sometimes you have to push in prayer past those outward prayers. Let the Spirit flow through you, let it fill you all the way to the top, and then watch how God can use you.

So many Christians live below their potential, walking on eggshells through the world around them. We are children of God, with access to the same supernatural power that Jesus did while walking on the earth. We should expect God's favor on us, not because of who we are, but because of whose we are.

Happiness is a choice. It's not something that we become automatically overcome with on a daily basis. True happiness, joy, is something we decide to carry with us wherever we go, and when we leave it behind, we leave our strength with it.

Regardless of social status, pedigree, "blue blood", every single person on this planet came from dirt. Now, this is the same God who made heaven from pearls, crystal, and gold. Why would he make his most prized possession out of dirt?

How do you know you're in love, truly in love, with Jesus? After you first fall in love, and the relationship wanes, how do you get back in love? How do you stay in love? Jesus wants to be first in our lives, our first love, but, the only way He can stay first is when we seek after Him with everything we are.

Just like in the natural realm, the spiritual realm goes through seasons. Those seasons are a necessity. They are a fulfillment of purpose, and without purpose, there is no living. The thing is, with this type of living, you have to die first.

The only way Satan can control you is through his deceptions. He presents tampered evidence and let's you draw your own conclusion from it, hoping you lead yourself into his trap. But they are only deceptions. They have no power over you unless you believe in them.

The enemy likes to pull skeletons out of your closet, and make you think on past sins, faults, and regretful actions. That way he has you trapped, thinking on everything, and everywhere but on God. But that is all over. Remember your reassurance in the blood of Jesus. You are clean because it is finished.

You can only talk about standing for righteousness for so long. Eventually you will have to step into battle, and that battle will be in a valley, but realize this: there will be no solitude to dark for God to not be there with you.
