- Everything is "yes" and "amen" in Christ. He expects you to take Him for granted!
- Unsanctified thinking will keep us in a place of immaturity.
- All behavior is drawn from our perception of who we are. Perception is always empowered by thinking. Identity is key in transformation.

- We are growing up in God, so we have grace and favor in His perception of us and that process.
