“The need to prove to ourselves and to others that we are valuable is often what drives our behavior…”

Satan​​ tempts us to gain an identity by our ‘doing’.

“Because we​​ all​​ show up on planet earth spiritually dead to God,​​ we struggle with these same issues -​​ shame, fear, condemnation, insecurity, guilt and self-consciousness.”

“A dead person cannot bring himself back to life!​​ Said another way, a spiritually dead person cannot get spiritual life by the works of his flesh!”

“Sadly, my focus was on​​ what I was​​ doing rather than​​ on​​ what Christ had already done.​​ I was believing the lies of the enemy.​​”

“All flesh is​​ –​​ Controlling,​​ Deceptive,​​ Legalistic,​​ Proud,​​ Addictive,​​ Self-Absorbed​​ (self-centered),​​Self-Protective,​​ Sin.​​”

“Walking according to the Spirit is a choice​​ a Christian makes every moment of every day.”

“Walking by the Spirit is living by faith; faith in what Christ has done and​​ what he​​ is doing in us ​​and through us​​ right now.”

“Living a surrendered life begins with​​ a​​ surrendered attitude.​​ It​​ acknowledges​​ that my life is not my own, I have​​ been​​ bought with a price.”
