Kindle Notes & Highlights
Something is going to come out of this pain. This pain shall not be wasted.
God can do more with us broken than he can do with us whole.
It is tough to differentiate between being chosen and being targeted. Job thought that he was being targeted for evil, but he was actually being chosen for good. Brokenness is the school that every chosen vessel must enroll in. God can use your trouble for his glory.
How we respond to our afflictions determines if our affliction destroys us or postures us. The pain doesn’t decide the outcome, but our response does.
The same events that cause people to leave God, are the same events that cause people to cleave to God. Pain, hurt, or failure can make you leave or cleave. It just depends on who or what you are devoted to.
All of a sudden something rises in the stony heart of Satan and he walks into a meeting that he wasn’t even invited to. Satan crashes the party and yells from the top of his fiery lungs, “What’s all the commotion about?” Whenever we please God we not only get the attention of heaven, but we also get the attention of hell. That’s why it seems like everything begins to unwind whenever you make steps to please God. You think to yourself, “When I wasn’t pleasing God, hell wouldn’t bother me. But now that I’m trying to walk with God, it’s so tough.”
The same people that are afflicting you in life, are the same people that are pushing you right into your miracle. The same people that are making fun of you and are making life hard for you. They are the same people that are helping you towards God.
The enemy uses people to try to destroy us, but God uses them as tools to posture us and to help minister to others.
You tell them the dreams God has given you, but they resist. They do not believe you have what it takes to go to the next level. You try to convince them of your calling and destiny, but your cries have fallen upon deaf ears. Don’t worry because God uses their resistance to posture you for blessing.
