the devil's never been afraid of what you can do, but from what God can do when you obey his leading. ::: many churches [youth groups] have been brought to the edge of greatness, and forfeited what the Spirit wanted to provide them because they distrusted how God could use them. ::: once you accept a limit, it becomes a limitation. ::: doubt deprives us of God's mighty works [dynamis].
do you expect God to bring someone to Christ every time you open your mouth? too audacious. NO! too faith-less.
so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which i please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereunto i sent it.
isaiah 55:11
#micdrop #omgoodness have you ever claimed that promise for your kids? ever? i haven't. #forshame
start expecting conversions and you'll have them! ::: our main defensive weapon from the devil is the shield of faith [persuasion, conviction -- and constancy in such profession]. "but without faith it is impossible to please him" (hebrews 11:6a). "[abraham] staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but [squelched all fear, wavering, hesitation and] was strong in faith, giving glory to God" (romans 4:20). faith is the trust in God's promise that enables His performance. "through faith also sara herself received strength to conceive seed...because she judged him faithful who had promised" (hebrews 11:11). there are no limitations until you accept false limits.

it's time to remove pride and pretense and apply the prayer that [truly] builds us -- prayer mingled with crying, contrition [dust, crushed (literally, powder, or figuratively, contrite)], and constancy.
it's time to make our declaration -- accept God's promise to bless us! "all things are possible to him that believeth" (mark 9:23).
