Beth Moore, Breaking Free, Session 7 DVD
"God never allows or appoints a fire unless He can bring beauty from the ashes."
"God is much more interested in our callings than our comfort.....He's making us fit to serve."
"The purpose of refinement is to make us objects of beauty and recipients of reward."
He's burning up all the "fake" in me.
"We cannot often refuse the fire, but we can refuse to be refined by it."
"Sometimes our fiery trials are absolutely necessary to fulfill our callings."
"Self-protection is the Number 1 stumbling block we will face in fulfilling our calling."
Psalm 45:1
Make my tongue the pen of a ready writer for You, My God.
John MacArthur, Daily Bible
based upon the character of Joshua: "... the ultimate measure of prosperity and success--knowing how God wants his people to live and then living that way" (360).
I pray that I might live a life worthy of You and may please You in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of You, being strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might so that I may have great endurance and impatience.... (121, PGW).
Help me set my mind AND KEEP IT SET on you! (121) Colossians 3:2
based upon I Peter 2:1-2, 5, 6-8
I desperately need Your help to rid myself of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like a newborn baby, help me crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it I may grow up in my salvation. Help me humble myself under Your mighty Hand and to cast all anxiety upon You. Help me be self-controlled and alert. Help me to spread everywhere the fragrance of knowledge of Christ. If I will keep following You, I will get there!
"Past failures lose their power, for they have been dealt with. Present thoughts do not overrun me, for I am in command of my thoughts and I make the final decision on what I believe. The opinions of others do not bombard me, for I have decided to believe what God says about who I am--regardless of what I or anyone else thinks." Dennis Jernigan, THIS IS MY DESTINY
