"There is nothing God cannot do in and through a person who is fully consecrated to Him. We want to do amazing things for God, but that isn’t our job. That’s God’s job. Our job is to fully surrender all that we have and all that we are to the Lord Jesus Christ. And if we do our job, God will most certainly do His." - Mark Batterson

Almighty God is not jealous of anything because He is all sufficient. But He is jealous for everything because it all belongs to Him. This includes you! What idols are in the hidden rooms of your heart? They must be dethroned.

The New Testament makes a distinction between two types of power. "Dunamis" is the power to do things beyond our natural ability. "Exousia" is the willpower to not do things we have the ability to do; supernatural self-control. In both cases, we need the Holy Spirit!

"If Jesus could endure the cross and despise its shame,
we can change the focus of our thoughts and toughen our
minds and guts for His glory!"

We have a mission, given to us by God, to disciple others and present them to God. Going all in and all out for Jesus is giving Him everything you’ve got. You aren’t called to be a spectator—a rim hugger.
