The things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:9

Here’s part 2 of Dr. Charles Stanley’s list of lessons he has learned:

16. Whatever you acquire outside of God’s will eventually turns to ashes. 

17. We stand tallest and strongest on our knees. 

18. As children of a sovereign God, we are never victims of our circumstances. 

19. Anything you hold too tightly, you will lose. 

20. Disappointments are inevitable, discouragement is a choice. 

21. Obedience always brings blessing. 

22. To walk in the Spirit is to obey the initial promptings of the Spirit. 

23. You can never out-give God. 

24. To live the Christian life is to allow Jesus to live His life in and through us. 

25. God blesses us so that we might bless others. 

26. Adversity is a bridge to a deeper relationship with God. 

27. Prayer is life’s greatest time saver. 

28. No Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith. 

29. We learn more in our valley experiences than on our mountaintops. 

30. An eager anticipation of the Lord’s return keeps us living productively.

Team YOU: 2 Samuel 1-2; Proverbs 17; Luke 14:1-24

Motivations: When we rely upon organization, we get what organization can do; when we rely upon education, we get what education can do; when we rely upon eloquence, we get what eloquence can do, and so on. Nor am I disposed to undervalue any of these things in their proper place, but when we rely upon prayer, we get what God can do. A. C. Dixon

Practice to Remember: Level 1:Ephesians 6:2-3; Level 2: Ephesians 5:15-21

Powered Up:  As a rain-cloud brings the shower, so prayer brings the blessing. As spring scatters flowers, so supplication ensures mercies. In all labor there is profit, but most of all in the work of intercession I am sure of this, for I have reaped it. C. H. Spurgeon
