The Supernatural Ways of Royalty Quotes

“Father, You know that I don’t do so well when I look inward, so I’m going to stop. I am relying on You to point out to me the things that I need to see. I promise to stay in Your Word. You said that Your Word was a sword—so please use it to cut me deeply. Expose those things in me that are not pleasing to You. But in doing so, please give me the grace to forsake them. I also promise to come before You daily. Your presence is like a fire. Please burn from me those things that are unpleasing to You. Melt my heart until it becomes like the heart of Jesus. Be merciful to me in these things. I also promise to stay in fellowship with Your people. You said that iron sharpens iron. I expect You to anoint the “wounds of a friend” to bring me to my senses when I’m being resistant toward You. Please use these tools to shape my life until Jesus alone is seen in me. I believe that You have given me Your heart and mind. By Your grace I am a new creation. I want that reality to be seen that the name of Jesus would be held in highest honor.”

“When we dream with God, we become the masterpieces of His imagination.”

“Princes and princesses are commissioned to see the people they lead reach their full potential in God. That means that the greatest compliment we can ever have is when the people we are leading become greater than us. If we believe that we are leading because we are the most qualified, then we will subconsciously work to undermine other people’s advancements.”

“We don’t lead because we are necessarily the most qualified; we lead because we are “called” to be the leader.”

“When we came to Christ, it was humility to honestly assess ourselves as sinners. To go back and say that’s still who we are is to deny what Christ did for us. Doing that is no longer humbling ourselves, it’s undercutting the resurrection power God has given us to live like Him.”

“The account of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in the fourth chapter of Daniel shows us that learning humility doesn’t mean we have to think of ourselves negatively. In the dream, Nebuchadnezzar sees an angel cut down a huge tree, leaving only the stump. Daniel, his most trusted dream interpreter, tells him that the dream is about him. He is the tree, and he is about to get cut down because of his pride. Daniel urges the king to humble himself before God humbles him. Twelve months later, Nebuchadnezzar is on the roof of his castle talking to himself about how awesome he is to have accomplished so much by himself. Suddenly he loses his mind. He is driven into the fields and lives like an animal for seven years. Finally, after seven long years of complete insanity, God restores his mind. The first statement out of his mouth when he can finally talk again is stunning: At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me (Daniel 4:36). If we didn’t know better, wouldn’t we think that this was the kind of statement that provoked God to humble him in the first place? Once again, he is saying, “I am awesome!” But look at the next verse! He says, “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride” (Dan. 4:37). Did you get that? King Nebuchadnezzar is saying that he’s awesome, but God is more awesome. God’s problem with Nebuchadnezzar was not his greatness, but his taking all the credit for it without acknowledging that God gave him his kingdom in the first place. God gave him back everything he had lost because he learned his lesson, that “Heaven rules” (Dan. 4:26). The point is that as long as we acknowledge where our greatness comes from, we’re not in danger of pride. We don’t glorify God by saying we’re not great, we glorify Him by acknowledging that He is the source of that greatness. Humility is not demeaning ourselves but exalting our God.”

“The truth is that it is neither pride to recognize our strengths nor humility to demean them. This kind of false humility keeps the saints in darkness and results in us never stepping into our destinies. Remember what we just saw in the previous chapter? Romans 3:23 says that we, “fell short of the glory of God.” Though we missed it, we were made for glory. Thankfully, when Jesus died on the cross, He didn’t just die so He could forgive our sins. He died so we could be restored to our original purpose. The price that Jesus paid on the Cross determined the value of the people He purchased. We were created to share God’s glory and bring Him glory. After all, who is greater—a king over a bunch of bozos, or a king over a great army of confident soldiers who take pride in serving their king? Isn’t it true that the greatness of the King’s subjects actually glorifies the King Himself?”

“Let’s pretend that you were the artist who painted that picture.” “OK,” he said, looking a little uptight. I motioned to the picture and yelled, “What a stupid-looking painting! Those colors are terrible! That thing is so ugly!” I paused for a minute. “Now,” I said to him, “does demeaning the painting somehow glorify the artist?” “No!” he answered. Now I had him cornered, so I continued, “Not only is God Himself the one who painted us, so to speak, but Jesus was the one who sat in the chair and modeled for the masterpiece! Remember, we were made in God’s image and in His likeness. We didn’t create ourselves. God created us. We are the work of His hands. When we tear ourselves down, we aren’t being humble; we are being stupid!” He looked stunned. He said, “I have three theological degrees, yet I’ve never been taught this.”

“De lo que me estoy dando cuenta acerca de muchos de nosotros es que pasamos mucho tiempo de nuestra vida reaccionando a lo que no queremos ser en vez de responder al llamado de Dios para nosotros.”

“Religion rubs our noses in the past to keep us humble. Reviewing the sinfulness of our past in order to become humble is a perversion.”

“WHENEVER we review the events of our lives apart from the blood of Jesus, we subject ourselves to the influence of the spirit of deception. In reality, my sinful past no longer exists. The Lamb of God purchased it with a payment in blood, forever removing my sins from the records of Heaven. The atoning blood of Jesus covers my sin, never to be uncovered again. Sin’s power to destroy us is itself destroyed by a superior reality: forgiveness.”

“We’ve carried our picket signs in demonstrations, preached hellfire and brimstone on the corner of every major city in America, and boycotted major corporations in the name of God. We’ve ignored the simple truth of honor that literally transformed entire kingdoms in the days of Daniel and Joseph. Because Daniel and Joseph demonstrated honor to the pagan kings they served, both Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar eventually acknowledged the hand of God on their lives.”

“, Even if the main people who influenced us were negative role models, as Christians, we now follow Christ as our example and hear the Holy Spirit calling us into our true identities. When we begin to act like royalty, issues that felt like mountains in our lives will become mere stepping stones to demonstrate our character.”

“So many of us live in a “virtual reality;” it feels real and looks real, but it isn’t real.”
