We all think our way is the right way.

But is your motive for the right reasons?

God looks at your motives within your heart.

Proverbs 12:2 (KJV) – every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

The way God sees it, is the way it is.

Whatever the enemy tries against you will not succeed.

Because God got His children’s back.

Pride is weak to God.

Humility is weak to man.

It’s better to be humble, which is strength, than to be prideful, which is weak.

Proverbs 16:19 (KJV) – better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

We have a tendency to live only for ourselves.

We are to live unto the Lord, not ourselves.

II Corinthians 5:15 (KJV) – and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

When your ways, not just one thing, but your walk, is pleasing to God, He’ll make your enemies be at peace with you.

Proverbs 16:7 (KJV) – when a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

We act like we are eternal slaves to sin.

Jesus made us free from sin.

Therefore, you are no longer slaves to sin.

Galatians 5:1 (KJV) – stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

God disapproves dishonesty.

But He loves it when we’re truthful – honest.

Proverbs 12:22 (KJV) – lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

You have to have faith while waiting for what you ask for.

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) – now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You don’t receive what you pray for if you pray with the wrong motive.

James 4:3 (KJV) – ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
