Quotes from Beth Moore

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

More than any other faith challenge I face, believing that I am who God says I am necessitates choosing what God says over what I feel.

We have a crippling tendency to forget what God has done for us. For a while, we're humbled. Then, if we do not guard our hearts and minds, we begin to think we must have done something right for God to have been so good to us. Therein lies another road to captivity. It is the road of legalism.

A Christian is held captive by anything that hinders the abundant and effective Spirit-filled life God planned for him or her.

We can always hope and pray diligently for a miracle. If, in God's sovereignty, He chooses to accomplish His purposes another way, let it not be that we have not because we asked not (James 4:2) or that we have not because we believed not (Matt. 9:29).

When we're most exhausted, we're expending more energy fighting the enemy than we are seeking God's presence. More than you seek to win, seek Christ! More than you seek to defeat the enemy, seek his foe! More than you seek victory, seek the Victor!

if we change the way we think, before long our thoughts change the way we feel.

victory is not determined as much by what we've been delivered from as by what we've been delivered to.
