Spiritual Foundations

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans [8:11]

You can get out of a state of fatigue, discouragement, and depression… you don’t have these things, you create them. Your thoughts, and especially your words, always empower some form of spiritual activity.

Want energy, joy, and enthusiasm? Don’t wait for these things to “happen to you”… you make them happen. They are within your spirit… all you have to do is release them.

Speak out and create the  energy, joy, and enthusiasm… whatever  you need… to accomplish what God has made you to accomplish!

  • Guys Without Goals: “I have never failed to hit a goal… because I’ve never set one.”
