Quiet Time Thoughts

“We have a choice.We can fear God now in

reverential awe that leads to eternal salvation

ORfear Him later in

stark terror!”

Page 9: O Come, All Ye Faithful. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!

Quiet Time Thoughts

We are possessed by what we value.

Value Satan’s things and he will claim you. Value

God’s characteristics and you are His.

“The Christian Life is one in which every participant has an

equal opportunity to be spectacularly successful.”

The Problem….….is never with God!

 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah  29:11

6. If no one is responding to what you have to say perhaps it is your message, not God’s.

"Can your visions be anything but false if you claim, `This message is from the LORD,' when I have not even spoken to you? Ezek 13:7

3. God will match His assignments with your character and your walk with Him.

Unlimiting God’s WorkIn and Through Us!

Now the God of peace……..equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Heb 13:20-21

“God does not always call the equipped but He always equips the called.”

Unlimiting What We Know of God“Knowing the Lord is like climbing a mountain. The ascent is available to all, but not everyone reaches the same level. Each of us decides how much effort to expend to reach the heights; each of us ultimately decides how far and how high we’ll go.”

Know of God

Unlimiting God’s Power In Our Lives

When the Problem is “Too Big”!

4. Pray, releasing both the circumstances and the results.

 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him. Psalms 4:3

Unlimiting God’s Joy In Our Lives

The Key to Unspeakable Joy!

2. God’s joy can never be stolen, only surrendered.

"Therefore you too now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy away from you.” John 16:22

Sincerity is critical!

Page 22: O Come, All Ye Faithful. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!

WARNING!“if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there, and it shall move;

The Reality of Triumph!God wants us to overcome our

spiritual limits.

Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall

be opened to you. Matt 7:7 

If God promised it, it is achievable.

The Reality of Triumph!God stands ready to give His people

victory in every area of life!

 Thou art the God who workest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy

strength among the peoples. Thou hast by Thy power redeemed Thy

people, Psalms 77:14-15

Even the obstacles that limit Him!

Page 26: O Come, All Ye Faithful. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!

The Reality of Triumph!The promises of God must be claimed

and incorporated to our lives.

So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence

only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with

fear and trembling; Phil 2:12 

God will not override complacency.

Page 27: O Come, All Ye Faithful. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!

The Reality of Triumph!The rewards for striving for higher

levels with God are incalcuable.

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of 

knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I 

may gain Christ, Phil 3:8
