“not just talking about memorizing a few scriptures; I am talking about making the Word of God the very final authority in your life. Jesus was so full of God’s Word that He could continue to stand firm amid great temptation.

“Jesus dines with sinners not because sin is no big deal. Jesus dines with sinners not because he expects us to go on sinning. Jesus dines with sinners not because he knows that some of us are just more prone to certain sins than others, and he gives us a free pass when our inclinations lead us into sin.

Jesus dines with sinners so that he can get close enough to touch us, so that he can participate in the intimacy of table fellowship as a healer and a helper. Jesus comes to change us, to transform us, so that after we have dined with Jesus, we want Jesus more than the sin that beckons our fidelity.

“Hallelujah! The Spirit breathes, the Spirit lifts, the Spirit renews, the Spirit quickens. He brings life where death was. He brings truth where no vision was. He brings revelation, for God is in that man. He is in the power of the Spirit, lost, hidden, clothed, filled, and resurrected.”

“Believe His promises. Think about them. Ponder them in your mind. Speak them with your lips. Act upon them in simple child-like faith and God will fulfill them in your life by a miracle today—now.”
