"Why do we always ask for other people to pray for us when we can do it for ourselves? Stop always waiting for others." Rev. LaKeesha

“It is great to have a dream. It is great to have a plan. It is great to have short term and long term goals. The only thing that most people are missing is the courage to actually take action. Dreams do not become a reality until you DO something. Goals don’t fulfill themselves. You must take action. Don’t let fear paralyze you.” Who’s with me? (via TuBlu Atlanta)

We’re taught to pray, but not to work a plan. Some even believe it’s faithless to work a plan instead of just trusting God to make it all happen. But faith without works is dead! God never told you to pray and then go sit down and do nothing. What He told you is that you can do all things through Him (Philippians 4:13). (via T.D. Jakes Ministries/The Potter’s House)

"The scripture says that the younger son CAME TO HIMSELF!! (Luke 15:17 KJV) We can never be fully restored, delivered, nor reconciled until we are willing to deal with ourselves and our faults. NO MORE PROJECTION!!! Strip yourself of your title, your position, and your accolades. Deal with the core essence of who you are! Then true restoration, deliverance, and reconciliation can take place." Emmanuel S Harrison II
