jesus war father
Automatically thinking ‘everything that happens is God’s will’ is a lazy way to live. We live in a war. Jesus wasn’t fighting the Father’s will when He raised the dead.
perfectly-good water thieves
Fear is a thief. It robbed Peter of a perfectly good walk on water, & kept the other eleven in the boat.
jesus names promise
I could not limit my values and pursuits to what makes others comfortable. Being possessed by a promise I live without options. I will spend the rest of my life exploring what could happen through the life of one who is willing to cultivate the God-given appetite to see impossibilities bow to the name of Jesus.
identity intimacy royalty
Royalty is my identity. Servanthood is my assignment. Intimacy with God is my life source.
knowing church mediocrity
I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it. Truths that are not experienced are, in effect, more like theories than truths. Whenever God reveals truth to us He is inviting us into a divine encounter.
character giving levels
In His mercy, God gives us the level of revelation that our character is prepared to handle.
jesus father opposites
Don’t be impressed by darkness. Jesus didn’t do the opposite of whatever the devil did. He did what He saw the Father doing… The moment I have a lesser sense of Him and a greater sense of the problem, I will live in reaction to the problem.
two voice people
God has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when it’s just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. When it is just two people in a room, that’s where you learn. That’s where you learn his heartbeat. That’s where you learn the presence. That’s where you learn the voice. It’s in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you’re doing. When it is just you and him.
effort surrender great-effort
Great faith doesn't come out of great effort, but out of great surrender.
honor culture celebrate
A culture of honor is celebrating who a person is without stumbling over who they're not.
i-can
I can't afford to have thoughts in my head about me that God doesn't have in His.
kingdoms concepts left
Once you've left the concept of family, you've left the concept of kingdom
mind looks impossible
You know your mind is renewed when the impossible looks logical.
passion discipline produce
Passion produces the best discipline.
