Defining Reality

Faith in God brings a whole new dimension of logic. This logic is not limited to human abilities or circumstances. Rather, it taps into the limitless possibilities of God and enables people to reach conclusions that reflect those possibilities.

When we magnify the Lord, it does not make Him any bigger. However, it allows us to see Him for Who He really is and to interpret our situations considering the reality of His greatness and power. This allows us to come to faith-filled conclusions and to "sleep" through the roughest storms.

It is impossible for us to be filled with the fullness of God until we know His love for us (Eph 3:19). The fullness of God is in the person of Jesus. All that you need to know about the Father is in the person of Jesus. 

The presence of the Lord draws out the fullest potential of the things, people, places and situations around us. Where we are at does not determine who He is. We get to dream and plan within the possibilities of His presence and power. 

If you want to learn about the Father, look at the life of Jesus. He is not just the good side of the Father. Jesus is the perfect expression of the Father. Whoever looks at Jesus has seen the Father. Don't be afraid to call him "Daddy". 

Most of the Christian walk is about coming into the increasingly fuller understanding of our inheritance in God. By faith in God, we have inherited the same relationship that Jesus has with the Father. If Jesus has it with the Father, so do we.

Waiting on God is a posture of prayer that grants us access into the heights of God's world. It is an attitude that says, "God, I am totally dependent on You to come through. I will not move a muscle until You come through. I have no plan B." Waiting on God saves us from getting burnt out in ministry (Isa. 40:31). 

The Bible commands believers to pray about everything. If it can be thought about, it should be prayed about. Prayer pulls our lives and situations into alignment with God's possibilities and merges our worlds with His.

As each part of Christ's body does its special work, the whole body grows (Eph. 4:16). God has unique, yet equally significant roles for every believer to fill in the church. We shortcut the growth of others when we do not do the work that God has assigned to us.

Biblical worship is to lay our lives out before God as an offering. We are all worshipping something. What if we worshipped like God was the only one in the room? What if our primary focus was appropriately honoring Him?
