“Some people have said that man has improved . . . [and] that if Christ came back today, He would not be crucified but would be given a glorious reception. Christ does come to us every day in the form of Bibles that we do not read, in the form of churches that we do not attend, in the form of human need that we pass by. I am convinced that if Christ came back today, He would be crucified more quickly than He was two thousand years ago. Sin never improves. Human nature has not changed.”

“Here’s a prayer that I journaled last year and if God leads you, pray this for yourself! Hallelujah!!! It’s working! Declare it’s working for me hallelujah! Let’s pray! Prayer Against Lack: Doors Are Opening Now Scripture Anchor: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are the God of abundance, the God of overflow, the God who never fails. Your Word declares that You will supply all my needs—not some, not a few, but all—according to Your riches in glory. That means lack has no legal right in my life. I reject scarcity, I rebuke insufficiency, and I declare that every need—spiritual, emotional, financial, relational—is met in full. You are not a man that You should lie, nor the son of man that You should change Your mind. What You have spoken, You will perform. What You have promised, You will fulfill. Your Word does not return void—it accomplishes what You sent it to do. So I stand on Your Word, I trust Your timing, and I praise You in advance. I will be a faithful steward of what You’re about to release. I will honor You with the increase. I will testify of Your goodness. I give You glory before the breakthrough, because I know the doors are already swinging open. Favor is finding me. Provision is locating me. Miracles are moving toward me. I declare: No more lack. No more delay. No more doubt. I believe. I trust. I receive. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen. Let’s GO!!!”

“You were correct, for all men have within them both that which is dark and that which is light. A man is a thing of many divisions, not a pure, clear flame such as you once were. His intellect often wars with his emotions, his will with his desires . . . his ideals are at odds with his environment, and if he follows them, he knows keenly the loss of that which was old, but if he does not follow them, he feels the pain of having forsaken a new and noble dream. Whatever he does represents both a gain and a loss, an arrival and a departure. Always he mourns that which is gone and fears some part of that which is new. Reason opposes tradition. Emotions oppose the restrictions his fellow men lay upon him. Always, from the friction of these things, there arises the thing you called the curse of man and mocked; guilt!”
