The Apple Of His Eye Mentality Quotes

“God is so pure that if we were to behold Him within the context of our natural bodies, we would be destroyed because of the impurity of sin in our flesh that was genetically passed down to us through the sin of Adam and Eve. God purifies, or makes purely holy, everything He touches. That’s right; the purification process of His total presence would destroy our natural bodies completely, because no good thing is in us. Isn't that a mystery? But then, it's a mystery to me how He made evergreens to stay green perpetually, or how fish spawn, or how birds sing so beautifully. We cannot put God in a box, or try to intellectualize His every facet. We would just sound pompous.”

“God even puts people in leadership; we just do what He puts in our hearts to do when it comes to electing those in leadership. So don't depend on men. God is able to do all things for you, and help you in every way that is good and needful (even when it feels bad). Don't wait until you are in a corner of desperation to figure that out and try to then stir up your faith in God's ability. Start strengthening your faith now.”

“That weekend, I preached my first sermon on heaven and hell to a sold-out crowd of siblings and cousins in our tiny bedroom, standing on a cardboard box. My cousins were so horrified, that some cried, some were sitting in terrified silence, and someone threw my favorite stuffed green turtle into the bedroom window and shattered it. My five year old self was indignant, angry and hurt. Hey, I loved that turtle. But that’s beside the point. No one should want to go to hell. Even a child can understand this. It's hot, it's stinky, it's lonely, it's painful and it's eternal.”

“When we call on Him by Who He says He Is, we are agreeing with Who He states and proves Himself to be by His very nature. Suffice it to say, He has made Himself known to the world since creation began, and in many ways. He’s the Father, the El Shaddai, the Holy One, the Adonai, El Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah, the Rock, our Shield, our ever present Help, our Comforter, Jealous, the Ancient of Days, our Healer, our Redeemer, our Lover ; He has an inexhaustible list of names that apply to what we need Him to be. But it all points back to who you are to Him.”

“Suppose that I were to suggest to you that by knowing who God is, you can gain the true understanding of who you are? That’s right. You cannot fully define yourself. Only the person who made you (the one who formed you in your mother’s womb) can give you the full disclosure on you! You came into this world through a veil of water, blood, pain and God's joy over you. You are defined by your very existence as a creation of God. That’s wonderful news, because, He made us in His image, and in His likeness - and He desires you to be reborn so He can cause you to achieve the destiny He has always had planned with you in mind.”

“The second occurrence was a little more frightening. I was about five years of age when I had a vision. In its beginning, I was reflecting on the wide expanse of sky and the free feeling of expanding and being loved, when a stranger came to me, smiling and playful, in red outfit that completely encompassed his body from head to toe, with only hole that made his face visible. In his hand was a large winnowing fork. He invited me and literally many other children to begin playing with him. The games involved playing a type of follow-the-leader which ended with us following him below ground and into the earth. As soon as we went into the darkness, we discovered we could not climb back out.”
