Finally finish reading another book!
The last time I completed a book was more than a month ago!!!
And I’m so proud that I actually completed 2 books this week!
I was in the middle of another book when I decided to also read this one too!
“Sun Stand Still” by Steven Furtick.
I tried to limit myself to 10, but I failed. ><
Discovering God’s vision for your life is one of the primary ways God teaches you about his character. Seizing his big purpose for your life is not just about figuring out what God wants from you and getting down to business It’s also about mining the depths of who you are in him. And out of that revelation, you will fulfill the purpose that he put you on earth to fulfill.
Accomplishing the impossible is all about seeing the invisible. ~ p.g. 26
No act of service is insignificant when done for the most significant purpose in the universe: proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. ~ p.g. 53
It may be your job to cross over, but it’s God’s choice to see you through.
If you’ll do the believing, he’ll do the achieving. ~ p.g. 64
The goal of faith isn’t to take away your fears but to leverage those fears to create bold belief. ~ p.g. 66
But healthy confidence is born out of genuine humility. The two must work in tandem. Confidence without humility is arrogance. Humility without confidence is weakness. ~ p.g. 67
Perhaps true faith always feels this way. On the one hand, I know that God is able to do anything. On the other hand, I think he’s willing to do this specific thing. I know God can. And I’m pretty sure that he will. But I can’t be completely sure.
That’s where audacious faith comes in.
Audacity isn’t the absence of uncertainty and ambiguity.
Audacity is believing that God’s promise is bigger than my perhaps. ~ p.g. 69
Hearing from God is terrifying. If he wrote his will in the sky with fire, and airlifted you through the clouds to the completion of your assignment, obedience would be normal. But then faith wouldn’t be necessary, would it? ~ p.g. 70
It’s not wrong to fear. It is wrong to let that fear have the last word in your life. ~ p.g. 73
Instead, the scope and impact of your vision will be determined by who you believe God is- and whether you have the courage to respond accordingly. If you’re going to have a Page 23 vision and pray a Sun Stand Still prayers, you’ve got to have the right idea about who God is to you and what he wants to do through you. ~ p.g. 93
Faith has everything to do with you. And it has nothing to do with you.~ p.g. 95
Live a life that can be explained only by the existence of a God who is infinitely great. ~ p.g. 99
He is the infinitely powerful, but his intentions towards you are infinitely good. He is capable, but he is also compassionate. He not only has created a good plan for you, but he is also able to bring it to completion in your life. ~ p.g. 107
Prioritize the presence of God in your daily life. That’s where the power of belief takes hold and the process of true faith begins. ~ p.g. 110
God can’t make anything miraculous out of your mistake if you don’t call it what it is and deal with it accordingly. ~ p.g. 131
Instead, he told him to get up off the ground, stop crying about the past defeats, and obey God completely in the present moment. ~ p.g. 133
But we see from Revelation that repentance also means to get back to the top. Back to God’s perspective. His ways. His truth, His high calling and perfect plan for your life. ~ p.g. 134
Audacious faith doesn’t mean my prayers work every time. It means that God is working even when my prayer doesn’t seem to be working at all. ~ p.g. 148
If you’re going to have the audacity to ask God for something, you’d better be ready to act. Audacious prayer must be tethered to practical obedience. Or else it’s not faith. It’s just wishful thinking and positive mental energy. ~ p.g. 173
Audacious faith teaches us to push and pray. ~ p.g. 174
God takes pleasure when his children participate in his purpose. ~ p.g. 177
You do the natural. Trust God for the super. ~ p.g. 177
If all your prayers were answered the moment you prayed them, you’d start putting your faith in the power of your prayer instead of the power of Jesus. ~ p.g. 183
When what you see around you doesn’t match up with what God has spoken inside you, you’ve got to hold on to what you’ve heard. ~ p.g. 187
The stories of our Sun Stand Still prayers are ours to tell – but the story itself is always about Jesus. ~ p.g. 202
