It is the worst time in history to be a backslider. It is the worst time ever to be cold in heart and stupid and go and do your own thing.
Occasionally, we go through times when we feel God is not speaking to us. While that may be so, most of the time He has simply changed His language, and He expects us to adjust with Him.
If you can’t be free from sin until you die, then Jesus isn’t your Savior, death is.
Listen to His voice, not to your worries. Trust in Him, not in your fears. Allow the continual influence of His transforming Kingdom to flow through your spirit.
Princes and princesses are commissioned to see the people they lead reach their full potential in God. That means that the greatest compliment we can ever have is when the people we are leading become greater than us. If we believe that we are leading because we are the most qualified, then we will subconsciously work to undermine other people’s advancements.
Clarity comes to the one who is willing to do the will of God. The willingness to obey attracts revelation, because God is the ultimate steward, sowing His treasures into fertile ground – surrendered hearts.
Satan is limited in every way. God gave him his gifts and abilities at his own creation. There has never been a battle between God and satan. The entire realm of darkness could be forever wiped out with a word. But God chose to defeat him through those made in His own likeness – those who would worship God by choice.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” It’s not a promise but a warning. Desire realized is a tree of life, and the tree of life is only found in Genesis, Proverbs and Revelation. Genesis is what was, Proverbs is what is, and Revelation is what will be.
Jesus made it possible for humanity to host the fullness of God on the earth. The Holy Spirit has empowered us to carry out this purpose.
Knowing God is not hard. It’s actually the most obvious thing in the world. All you have to do is glorify Him as God and be thankful. This response, because it agrees with the truth, gives you open access to the vast treasures of the knowledge of God.
Our assignment has never been about what we can do for God, but what can God do through us. That is the essence of the gospel: to do exactly what Jesus did and destroy the works of the devil.
When God is serving wine, drink. When He’s serving bread, eat.
There is no such thing as secular employment for the believer. Once we are born again, everything about us is redeemed for Kingdom purposes. It is all spiritual. It is either a legitimate Kingdom expression, or we shouldn’t be involved at all.
Thankfulness and hunger create the atmosphere for increase.
The reason for problems in our churches is not that we are all evil people. It is simply that we have not learned the ways of the King and His Kingdom enough for Him to influence how we think and live in every part of our lives.
Why do we question good news? It’s because we have allowed our circumstances to shape us in a way that expects good things to end. In the Kingdom, when life is created, it continues to bring life. Anything outside of the Kingdom teaches us that good things end. So what world do we want to live from? The Kingdom or outside of the Kingdom?
The same way that Jesus became flesh, the Holy Spirit becomes words, and when they are spoken, they bring life.
Revelation enlarges the arena that our faith can function in. Deception shrinks our area of faith.
We reign with the heart of a servant and serve with the heart of a king, all for the benefit of the people around us. Rulers in God’s Kingdom never rule for their own sake. It is always for the sake of others.
It is the most amazing time in the world to be alive in God – to hear his voice, to hear what he is saying, to see what he intends to do in the earth, and what his heart is like for the people. It is an amazing time.
