1. Everything that comes from God must go back to God. They become dysfunctional when they remain with man. Blessings must turn to praise and praise is not just giving thanks for what God gave, it is giving back to Him what He gave. Don't give thanks to God for things that He gave and deny Him access to them for His use. Whatever blessing you don't return back to God in praise turns to pride.
2. If you don't encounter the life in scriptures through the Holy Spirit you will not be empowered to live the LIFE of scriptures.
3. The devil is not after your money or properties, he is after your joy, your faith, your love for other people, your peace. To think that satan comes to steal your money or car is like assuming armed robbers would break into your house to steal old newspapers.
4. The inability to love and receive love is a sign that a disease has broken out in the human soul.
