## Resource

Before you face the pressures of the day, sharpen your spirit. Before you make decisions, sharpen your identity. Before you swing at life — sharpen your awareness of who you are in Christ. In this message, Dr. Tim Grage teaches why confession is the believer’s sharpening stone. You’ll learn how your words align you with your divine union, how to keep your spiritual edge, and how daily declarations prevent you from slipping into the weakness of mere humanity. 📖 Ecclesiastes 10:10 — “If the axe is dull, more strength is needed, but wisdom brings success.” 🪓 “If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four sharpening the axe.” — Abraham Lincoln Remember: Before you swing, sharpen. Before you act, affirm. Before you move, meditate
