5. Do You Have Patterns Of Success?
It’s easy to be a good boy or good girl once in awhile.
It’s easy to love your spouse once in awhile. (Even a drunk wife-beating husband who maintains 3 girlfriends can love his wife once in a while.)
It’s easy to eat your veggies once in awhile.
It’s easy to stop smoking once in awhile.
It’s easy to come to a prayer meeting like the Feast once in awhile.
But if you want massive changes in your life, you’ve got to do it all the time. The Bible says, And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
Success, after all, is all about patterns.

Instead, a weak spiritual immune system caused you to sin.

3. Crisis Shapes Your Character
After 30+ years of following God, I’ve come to a very BIG
and very DISTURBING realization. (Warning: You won’t like what I’m going to
say.) I’ve come to realize that God values my Character more than my Comfort.
Ouch…
Yes, God Values Your Character More Than Your Comfort

I wonder why Jesus asked him that silly question. Here’s the story. One day, Jesus saw a paralyzed man lying near the pool of Bethesda. The guy has been paralyzed for 38 years. Jesus asked him, “Would you like to get well?” (Read the full story in John 5:1-9) I find that…uh, rather strange. Why ask that question?

1. God Will Fight Your Battles For You
Let me tell you a story.
When I was a kid, I was really thin.
If you think I’m thin now, you should have seen me when I was 10 years old. I was so thin, if I wanted to vanish, all I had to do was stand sideways—and you could barely see me.
And I wasn’t only thin, I was short too. I know that today, I’m tall, dark, and humble. But back then, I was one of the smallest guys in class.
