“Leaders do not conform for the sake of conforming. They do not do what others do merely because people are doing it. They follow an inner voice, a call. They have a vision –not of what is, but of what might be. They think outside the box, and they march to a different tune.”

“Every leader needs someone who will ask them hard questions and who can see ahead on the path where they are heading.”

“Believers, being united with Christ, are given authority over the spiritual realm. This enables us to live victorious lives and to wage spiritual warfare.”

“Vision requires us to put words to our hope and what we believe is the will of God.”

“Vision creates spiritual momentum, which propels us towards our destiny.”

“Jesus knew the greatest factor in persuasion was not logic, or personality, or even acts of kindness.”

“He did not get them to memorize a detailed explanation of the gospel. His approach was not intellectual.”

“It is usually at a funeral that I hear the 23rd Psalm, but it was not written for the dead.”

He is not like us and He is different than what we may first assume.

Paying close attention to yourself means managing your heart and your relationships, beginning with your relationship with God.
