Key Points
- 1.Better living requires better behavior, and better behavior requires better believing.
- 2.Faith is not just what we declare with our mouth, but how we behave in alignment with God's truth.
- 3.God uses people as pictures of possibility to demonstrate visibly what He can do through principle in our own lives.
- 4.Envy and jealousy happen when we mismanage exposure to someone else's success instead of being inspired by it.
- 5.Elevation in the Kingdom requires elimination; you must intentionally remove weights and sins that hinder your mobility.
- 6.What needs to leave your life rarely walks out on its own—you must actively escort it out.
- 7.Make proactive choices in moments of spiritual strength to protect yourself during times of emotional or spiritual weakness.
- 8.Perseverance is doing the hard work after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
