As a boy, George Washington grew up in a society where slavery was not only an accepted practice, but it was rationalized as a positive good. By the end of his life he had come to understand that slavery was morally indefensible, and arranged to have all of his slaves set free at the time of his death. But when he was a young man, it didn’t bother him. He accepted the rationalizations of his society, and as a result, he was blind to what should have been a glaringly obvious moral truth. What kinds of things are we blind to in our society today? What are we missing?

The Great Awakening
I believe that there is a Great Awakening coming that will totally transform our society. God knows:
-when the awakening will start
-when it will end
-every church that will participate
-every church that won't
-everyone who will be:
-saved
-restored from backsliding
-healed
-filled with the Spirit
-every attack of the enemy will make to hinder the work
-how to deal with these attacks
-how to transition into the awakening
-how to transition out of the awakening
It is not our responsibility to make things happen. What we have to do is to yield ourselves to God so that He can use us in accomplishing His purposes.

Freedom
Salvation was designed by the perfect mind. Every provision has been made to defeat every move the enemy makes. This is not a see-saw battle that God is just barely winning. In my interior life God has given me everything I need to totally rout the enemy. In my exterior life God will use every apparent victory of the enemy to His advantage. Even when Satan wins Satan looses.

Freedom
This entire 'power' of sin thing is a tissue of lies. It is a fraud, a humbug. Once you have a true spiritual revelation of the infinite power that is relentlessly committed to your freedom, the 'unbreakable' shackles of the enemy that bind you suddenly seem to be made of Kleenex.

Freedom
We have to be more focused on what we are running to than what we are running from. When the love, joy, and peace begin to flow, most of our reasons for sinning will cease to be.

The Perfect Mind
Before anything can happen in your life God knows:
what you should do
what and how you should pray
what you should learn from the situation
what you should prepare for
what you should prevent
what part this plays in His plan for your life
what's going to happen next
In order for us to grow, we are going to have to stop having a panic reaction to adverse circumstances. Faith begins to grow when we remind ourselves of the power and presence of God in our lives at the very beginning of each crises.

Infinite Power
The power of God to fulfill His promises is incalculable and irresistible. He operates inside you and within the circumstances and events of your life.
