Beth Moore, Believing God: Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith

"... if He can raise the dead, He can surely enliven the lazy! We have been called to a present-active-participle walk of faith, not a park 'n' ride" (18).

He says I am forgiven; that I am beautiful to Him; that He has a purpose for my life; that I am a new woman, a virgin, no less; that I no longer have to carry old baggage or turn to old comforts; that Christ Jesus took on my unrighteousness so that I can be the righteousness of God in Him; that His all-surpassing power is within my jar of clay (22).

When I am yielded to Holy Spirit's authority, His personality fills me and eclipses my own. When I'm not yielded, I grieve Him and operate from my carnal nature (25).
