Relationship, Not Religion

The way you perceive things, the way you relate to things, the way you understand things – all of it has to be changed. At the very least it must be challenged.

We must stand in victory, not battle for it. If we do fight, we fight FROM victory, not FOR victory.

There is a deeper death for us to die, and the more “spiritual” we become, the more easily we are deceived by our own spirituality.

The Life cannot fail. If I give up my life, if I give up my self-effort, then He begins to do what I cannot do.

He does not have to raise His voice or call down fire from Heaven or do anything other than simply reveal Himself for Who He is.

The things we call temptations, testings, and trials are the very means through which God desires to activate the Life He has placed within you!

This narrow path we call discipleship. It leads us somewhere. A path is not for standing still. It has a destination. Where does the path lead? What is the End?

Great synergy and blessing is released when we simply cooperate with what God has already purposed to do. Heaven backs us up with tremendous power and authority.

The Cross renders us dead to the world so that we can bring Life to others who are in the world and not worry that we may become contaminated or polluted by the things we encounter.

Not only can this Kingdom not be stopped, but when people see the King for Who He really is, they no longer desire to resist Him.

To react in the flesh diminishes spiritual authority, and this must be avoided at all costs. Allowing the flesh to have its way for only a moment guarantees defeat against a spiritual adversary.
