| 1. When your life seems to be going nowhere, you get a hunger and thirst for God. 2. When you take a leap of faith and ask Jesus into your heart. 3. When you realize that every test and trial is a test and trial. 4. When you become aware that there are spirits in you like lust, greed, fear, anger, hatred and the like that must be cast out. 5. When you recognize that your ego, the need for praise or the need to blame, must be dissolved. 6. When you know that Christianity is not a head trip, but a life predicated on revelation. 7. When it becomes more important to be than to do. 8. When silence becomes louder than words. 9. When awareness of self becomes a means of growth and change. 10. When you look and listen rather than analyze or explain. 11. When the presence of God is real in you. 12. When the less you do gets more done. 13. When the word of God is your primary source of guidance. 14. When you walk alone more than in a herd. 15. When the gospel puts a flame in your heart to spread the good news. 16. When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit and give utterance in tongues. 17. When the gifts of the Spirit take precedence over the things of the world. 18. When you know that suffering for the kingdom will bring eternal rewards. 19. When you forsake all and follow Him. 20. When love never fails. Amen |
