An empowered family advancing the Father's culture in all the earth
The heart of Jesus is always bent upon the least of these.
The day of judgment is not in the future; the day of judgment is right now, when your heart becomes the altar of the Lord for someone.
Be among those who walk in the natural realm without allowing that realm to dictate how they live.
If we choose to view the Father without Jesus as our lens, we will have an inaccurate idea of who God is.
Above every conflict and corruption, the heart of the Father declares: "I love you."
I will find myself in receiving the embrace of God. But if, while He holds me, I'm holding tight to the forms of "me" I created, I will feel rejected.
God is the most persistently present love in your life. He doesn't fear your rejection, because there is no fear in love. You are being loved with an absolutely perfect, unending love.
They brought her to Jesus, caught in the act. Jesus knelt into the dirt, remembering when He breathed life into it, remembering the love that formed us out of the dust, making us alive by His breath. Jesus demonstrates how a thoughtful pause that helps us to respond well, rendering the accuser of the world powerless.
Fear is only an option when we vacate love. If we feel fear, we have walked out of the house of love.
You have the power on where to abide. You have the ability to source yourself wherever you want to.
When we see unrighteousness in the world, the most righteous response we can offer is to remain righteous--not to post, blame,or condemn, but to remain personally consistent to the call of the Lord on our lives regardless of the circumstance. The church's response in all things must be to remain consistently faithful.

The Lord wants us to master the concepts of money. The kingdom of God supersedes the economies of this world; we are called to operate at a level far above the limitations of the current economy we live in.
We are made to live not of the systems of the world, but of the way of Heaven.
If you're talking to a God who never admonishes or corrects you, you are talking to an idol of yourself.
Money is "always abundantly available": this mindset helps us to continually see provision from the heavenly perspective. Mastery of money opens us up to supernatural provision.
Stop repenting from sin. Start repenting from separation from God--and toward union with Jesus. Sin is not the main character of the story. Jesus is.
You know you have mastered a thing when you steward ut with a heart a gratitude and not a heart of labor.

When the fruit of the Spirit is evident in my life, the law is fulfilled and we are free to relate to one another in love, honor, and respect.
You can't kill goodness. It will just multiply. We cannot do more evil than God can do good. Even the evil we do will still bring forth a harvest of righteousness.
You are loved--now live loved. You are reconciled--now live reconciled.
This year, as we pray for one another, let's include these key points of wisdom in our prayer: First above all: trust that you have a Father who loves you. Be annoyingly wise with money Feel it all, and then forgive Never accept secondhand experience Work hard at something Eagerly desire others' success
To come to us as human, Jesus laid aside His divinity. Consider: could this have been a greater sacrifice, even more than death on a cross?
Old wine is rich, deep, and mature. But it is a blessing when Jesus fills us with new wine--energetic, expanding, developing, and seemingly reckless. When the new wine comes, it is an opportunity for our hearts to be made fresh and new as well.
Maybe you are not seeing the repentance you are looking for in people's lives because you have not actually forgiven them.
When you find yourself obsessed with someone else's mistakes, you may find you are actually struggling with your own value. This is not sourced in God's spirit. Faith sees all the incredible things that are possible in you--and in others--that have yet to exist.
When others make mistakes, it is unlikely they are operating in a heavenly perspective. Unintentional wrongdoing is either out of ignorance (lack of understanding) or immaturity (lack of growth). Seeing people the way the Father sees His children is what helps us forgive, because we learn to separate people from their mistakes. They are His child. He forgives them by not associating their behavior with who they are. The Father does not connect behavior with your identity.
When I focus on diligently working, I can trust that my Father is actively thinking about me and backing me up. We tend to have the mentality that our natural work is not spiritual action. But there is no dividing wall between spiritual activity and natural activity. Everything is spiritual. Everything. The spirit of the thing is more important than the thing.
