Forget those things which are behind and press on for the high price.”

#NewCreation
“I can remember expecting perfection after I got saved. That's what caused me to go down for prayer to get saved over and over again because I was expecting too much, expecting everything to change. But what changed was my spirit. And once you have that understanding that your spirit, soul, body, it's your spirit on the inside that changed, but it changed remarkably. In fact, the Holy Spirit took up residence on the inside of your new creation spirit and lives there. The third person of the Godhead lives inside of you, inside of your spirit.”
