While you wait, you can’t imagine or even measure the good of those things you pray for.

We fight against one another because that’s what we see.

Your fight is against things you don’t see, like powers and spiritual wickedness, not one another.

Read Ephesians 6:12-20 to know who and how to really fight.

We have to be careful what we believe.

Satan has a way of disguising false teachings to make it sound and look good.

We can’t follow satan all week, then go to church on Sunday and say we’re followers of Jesus Christ.

You have to choose . . . You can’t have both.

I Corinthians 10:21 (KJV) – ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

Be kind, forgive and show compassion towards others and you’ll get it back.

We have to stop being stingy with what God has blessed us with.

Give . . . and it will be given back to you more than you anticipated.

If you’re praying to God with the wrong motive, He won’t hear you.
