Take the promises of God and write them down. Get down and wrestle with them all the days of your life- if you ask of those promises, you will receive, and if you seek those promises, you will find and if you knock on the door of those promises, it will be opened to you- but the problem is we want other things than the promises. We want a comfortable life, we want to be able to minister, we want all sorts of things. God has other plans-higher plans, greater plans to make you conform to the image of son.

(A community of believers who desire to be like Christ..are you willing to be like Christ? Are you being broken and broken time and time again by god? Are His hands peeling and peeling away at those mundane desires until all that is left is a bare, trembling soul that cannot stand in its own strength? Are you weak enough for God's promises to be fulfilled?)

He has such good plans for you while you have such meager pitiful plans for yourself. You give me one person who will take the promises of God and fight through them on his knees in the darkness when no one else is around and everything else will fall into place. Persevere, wrestle with a holy boldness. Such timid men- how easily we forget, those of us who know...
