“Hey, I am going to remodel my house while I am preparing for my daughter’s wedding!” Yes, anxiety is a focus problem.

We worship with our focus, fear or love. We will worship what we believe has power, even things we think it have more power than God.

Our giftings can be twisted & used against us if we don't remain dependent on God with them. For instance, a natural gift of observation can be perverted into damning focus.

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for his friends, but is being a living sacrifice include neglecting myself?

The difference of love and fear is simply life and death. Perfect love connects us to God and His Life, fear places barriers up to His Life

So many work to overcome rather than letting the Overcomer conquer in us but life is impossible if it’s managed and manhandled by us we must live dead.

God's ways are not our ways. His love is often rough and easily seen as cruel. His love batters our hearts until our hearts are completely His.
