Beth Moore, Believing God: Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith
from DVD 6
a crucified life precedes a RESURRECTION!
Maybe He wants me to climb that mountain and see Him transfigured there.
"Consider how we can live off the CPR of God: as we believe, we inhale His words; and as we speak, we exhale His words. Cast the burden upon God and His Word, not upon our abilities to pray."
When I speak it out of my mouth, it sounds like GOD to the devil! (115)
"...one of the most outstandng signs of spiritual maturity is a controlled tongue...", but [the tongue] can also be a tremendous hindrance to power.
misuses of the tongue: gossip, lying, profanity, rudeness/unkindness, inappropriate humor, misuse of God name, harsh criticism; whining, complaining, "I-me-me-I-I-I"--self-centered talk; speaking out fear, dread, doubt to anyone other than God
"A truth-filled heart is so unnatural that we must pursue it to have it" (117).
"Few things destroy our witness like rudeness or unkindness."
"Sins that differ from our always seem worse."
inappropriate humor--humor at someone else's expense (118).
Where's the balance between obedience and paranoia?
