In the midst of all the turmoil going on in the world, in our country, even in churches, there is a real and tangible move of God afoot. This move does not look like what the majority of people expect and it does not conform to conventional notions of how God is “supposed” to do things. Most importantly, it is not being championed through expected or entrenched religious channels.  It is a movement that is challenging what many church leaders and biblical scholars think about what God is doing, but it is something that is entirely consistent with His character and His Word. Can you sense it?

In our churches, we’ve “intellectualized” things to the point that people are convinced that it’s all about getting the doctrine right. But God isn’t judging you by how well you “figure out” His Word. What He wants is for you to learn to recognize, listen to, trust His voice and follow His direction.

A deep understanding the Word of the Lord is not a matter of how much seminary education you have or Bible Studies you have taken. The fullness of God is not revealed through academic, casual, or “Spirit-less” observation. The Word, the mysteries, and the very nature of God are revealed through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Many have accepted Christ, but the strength of God in their personal lives is small. They have salvation, but don't understand the fullness of what He has done for them. They don't realize what He has given to bring victory to their lives now.

Too many Christians are sick and tired because they are living life in their own strength rather than in relationship with God. They know what their senses are telling them, but they are not experiencing divine reality. They are struggling outside of the favor and power of God and have no idea of their God-given identity, much less their purpose and mission

We each have a unique God given purpose and mission that has to with a whole lot more than going to church this week– but many are missing their divine destinies it because it doesn't look like what they think it's supposed to. Frankly, the way many of us think about our walk with the Lord is substantially incomplete, if not outright wrong.

Too many people do not understand the purpose of their faith. They believe that going to church and striving to be good should satisfy what the Lord wants from them. It’s not.
