Be Still part 2

God is not glorified when we run around like chickens with our heads cut off, trying to finish a work that is already finished. He isn't glorified by what we can do in the flesh. He isn't exalted when we try to exalt Him. He is glorified, and exalted, when we be still and know that He is God. When...

The deep calls out to the deep. We communicate--really CONNECT--with each other Spirit to Spirt, holy to holy. The Jesus in me and the Jesus in you. There's a still, small voice on the inside whispering the ultimate truth of the universe, that Daddy loves you. But to hear that still, small voice......

Baptized in the name--or nature--of the Lord Jesus Christ. Like a sponge thrown into the ocean of grace. Filled to overflowing with the love of our heavenly Father. Soaking it in. Soaking it UP. Letting Him who took away the sin of the world soak the sin out of us. The REMEMBRANCE of sin. The...

There's a song by Sheryl Crow called, "Soak up the Sun." And really, that's my entire thought for the day. Instead of trying to ACT LIKE the Son, we really ought to just soak Him up. Let me say it another way, "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun..."...

It really does seem like we are (foolishly) trying to finish in the flesh what was started in the Spirit. As if to say, "God set me up, but now I have to walk it out." And if you've followed this ministry for any length of time you know the distinction I make between "walking it OUT," or doing it...

This thing--this eternal, abundant, everlasting, Resurrection Life--is really just simply about what's inside you coming out of you. The LOVE inside you coming out of you. The very first thing I taught Logan about God is that Jesus is God, and God is love, and Jesus lives in your heart. To me,...

Stick with me on this one. I always preach, "Receive it and release it. Receive it and release it." But I want to tweak that a little bit with this Rant series. Because, to me, there's almost an idea here where we are consciously DOING something. And that's the lie that the serpent told Eve way...

Don't let "stuff" (or people for that matter) live in your mind rent free. What you give your attention to is really what you empower. That's how you make mountains out of molehills--by focusing on them. Because what you magnify is what manifests in your life. What you feed is what will grow. And...

Your mind is like a goat, it'll eat anything. And that can be a problem, because what you magnify is what will manifest in your life. If you're mindful of all of the "stuff" going on around you--if you mind is full of it--then you'll miss out on the REAL stuff. Look at 2 Corinthians 4:18, "While we...

Casting Cares part 3

09/10/2015 12:03

When you cast your cares on the Lord--which is only possible because you know He cares for you--what you're really doing is trusting Him to take care of things. Or, more accurately, trusting that He has already taken care of everything! God declares the end from the beginning. He finished the work...
