August/September 2019
The Strong God Within You
Make the shift from posting and boasting “I can do anything” to humbly praying “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Get your motivational mantras right so that you can tap into the real supernatural strength of God and then stay connected with it. Don’t serve the gods of obsession. Don’t go to a narcissistic church unless you want to be weak. The culture of ‘on demand’ demands more than you realize. The Spirit’s value can’t be monetized. Get these strong truths deep inside you and you’ll make real gains.
