Quotes by Priscilla Shirer

Ministry is when the people who hear you, dont want more of you; they want more of Him because of what youve said. When you point them to Gods fire instead of trying to get attention for yourself-thats ministry.

Lord, please do this ... or do something better!

Unforgiveness is a strategic design, craftily implemented by you enemy to outwit you, to cripple your effectiveness in prayer and your power to stand against him victoriously. Which is why, if I were your enemy, I would do everything possible to keep you from forgiving anyone and everyone whos done you any wrong.

(People) either overestimate Satans influence and power, living with an inflated, erroneous perspective of his abilities. Or they underestimate him. They dont assign him any credit at all for the difficulties hes stirring up beneath the surface of our lives... Satan is not God. And he is not Gods counterpart or peer... Satan is nothing but a copycat trying desperately to convince you hes more powerful than he actually is... So even though hes given temporary clearance to strategize and antagonize, we dont need to pray from a position of fear or weakness against him... But we cant expect to experience this power unless were serious about joining the battle in prayer.

If all were doing is flinging words and emotions in all directions without any real consideration for the specific ways the enemy is targeting us and the promises of God that apply to us, were mostly just wasting our time.

As we practice implementing this incredible power tool Hes placed in our hands, He divinely positions us - even a little life like ours - in His grand purpose for the ages. Through the connective tissue of prayer, He cracks open the door that makes us at least a small part of how these massive plans of His are translated into the lives of people we know. Including ours.

(The enemy) laughs at your attempts to fix your own issues with timely words and hard work - tactics that might affect matters for a moment but cant begin to touch his underhanded, cunning efforts down where the root issues lie.

You may not understand what alls happening in your life right now, but any possible explanation pales in comparison to what you do know because of your faith in Gods goodness and assurance.
