19. The two most important things you think
about is
God and you. What you think about God and
what you think about yourself creates the
lens through
which you see life and molds the message
that flows out of your life.

20. Luke 4:13
NKJV
Now when the devil had ended every
temptation,
he departed from Him until
an opportune time.

21. Stay focused on Jesus

22. Philippians 4:8
ESV
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if
there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.

23. Isaiah 61:1-4
NKJV
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD
has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has
sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the
captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are
bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And
the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty
for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of
righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be
glorified.” And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall
raise up the former desolations, And they shall
repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many
generations.

24. Luke 4:17-18
NKJV
And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And
when He had opened the book, He found the place where it
was written:
“ The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

25. One of the hardest things we will ever do
is let God be the God of our lives!
Many people say it but how many actually do it ?
Psalm 139:23
MSG
Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I'm about;
See for yourself whether I've done anything
wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life.

28. NIS
Non Inferior Secutus
“not having followed inferior things”
We covenant together never to walk in inferior paths ,
choose inferior goals, or settle for inferior character. Each
will aspire, with the help of God and each other, to reach for
the greater good in all things
pertaining to faith and life.

29. Philippians 3:10-14
MSG
I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ
personally, experience his resurrection power, be a
partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to
death itself. If there was any way to get in on the
resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.
I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it
made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ,
who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't
get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in
all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is
beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and
running, and I'm not turning back.

Excellence is the result of caring more than others
think is wise, risking more than others think is safe,
dreaming
more than others think is practical and expecting
more than others think is possible.
