Tommy Barnett, Pastor of Phoenix First Assembly, spoke the first session this morning. He is a pastor’s pastor and has such a heart for this generation. Here are my notes…
Session 1 – Tommy Barnett – The Honor of Wanting To Quit
• Wanting to quit is a sign of success – if you want to quit, it means you have “something” to quit!
• The more you have to quit, the more you want to quit. The higher you go, the more frightening it becomes – the lonelier it becomes – the riskier it becomes…
• You can enjoy the luxury of wanting to quit if you know you’re not going to quit
• If you have quality, you’ll have quantity – you’ll add to the church daily
• A burden comes and goes, but the call of God is what gets you up when you don’t feel like going on
• Until the anointing kicks in, we’ve got Starbucks! ☺
• To keep from quitting, you must burn the bridges behind you – all the other desires
• Don’t tell anyone you want to quit when you want to quit
• Don’t expose yourself to what you don’t want to be – hang around people who are positive
• If you don’t want to quit, lock yourself in so you can’t
