Thoughts from Memphis Special Meeting


  • We want a godly fear that would prompt us to prepare for the future.
  • We want the spiritual in us to affect what is natural in us, not the other way around.
  • Jesus wasn't helped by God just because He was the Son of God.  It was because He always sought to do what pleased God.
  • We want to respect God's will for us.  In doing so, there's an abundance of provision open to us.
  • Nabal was selfish with his bread.  Abigail felt it was a privilege to give her bread to the king.
  • Abiding in the vine will keep us from being offended.
  • Truth isn't really something you can explain; it's something you experience.  If we experience it, we'll understand it.
  • Sometimes it takes a bit of a lack of natural prosperity to cause our soul to prosper.  The most dangerous times in life are often when things are going well.  Be careful in the good day.
  • If the truth is in our heart, we will walk in the way of truth.  For every step that we must take in the way, God has the ability to put that in our heart.
  • Doing is important, but how we do it is more important.
  • Many people in the world are honored for things they do once (breaking a record, performing some act of service).  What means so much to God and what He honors, is faithful daily service.
  • If we are in touch with the Lord, He'll enable us to prosper where we are.
  • We need to be careful about what we love because that's what will direct our steps.
  • When God looks down from heaven, He loves to see His children doing well.
