Welcome to my world
To accept good advice is but to increase one's ability. If you want to put the World right, start with yourself. Your children are a reflection of you. God puts consolation only where he first put pain.
Christians should watch and pray, and not watch and criticise. When in doubt, ask. If you take care of God's business, He'll take care of yours!
A disciple forsakes everything, walks with Jesus, follows Jesus and lives with Jesus! This the difference between mere christians and disciples. A disciple is a mind through which Christ thinks. A heart through which Christ loves. A voice through which Christ speaks. A hand through which Christ helps.
It's not numbers that count, but the quality and devotion of your disciples to the Lord and lost souls. The only ones you can really trust are those who have their eyes on the Lord. You can not entertain the thoughts of the enemy and yet receive the thoughts of God.
If you get discouraged and loose faith, then you can loose your ability to exercise your power. Don't listen to the devil, or pretty soon you'll be believing him.
