“If you endeavor to love God with your mind, your mind is opened up beyond the rational into the intuitive. The intuitive mind is the place where we pray and dream and hope for things as they ought to be, things yet unseen by the rational mind. If you endeavor to love God with your heart, you engage the emotional intelligence center of your being. Both negative and positive emotions become invitations from God into transformation. If you endeavor to love God with your soul, life becomes nearly unimaginable—the impossible moves into the sphere of possibility. If you endeavor to love God with your body, you will physically change. You will look different. You will move beyond being well into being fit.”

“Speaking again on the topic of prayer, Jesus said that the Father knows what we need before we ask him.8 What does that tell us about how we should pray? How does it inform our prayer life? What should we be asking God? Perhaps when we pray, we should ask, “Lord, what do I need?”

“The next question is, “Lord, where in my life do I feel like I’m not beloved by you? Where in my life am I not trusting you? Where in my life do I think I’m not good enough for you? Where in my life am I listening to the wrong voice?”

“People are mostly afraid all the time. In fact, the number one exhortation in Scripture is, “Do not be afraid.” We can only become fearless as we follow God in our true identity and experience in real life the truth of God’s promises to us.”

“Don’t only read the Bible in some formulaic pattern. Instead, ask God, “What does this say to me? How is this related to my identity? What do you want me to know?” You might truth tell and confess that a certain Scripture passage frightens you. Ask the Lord, “Why am I afraid? What am I afraid of?” After”

“I want the God who initiates life and relationship with me even when I’m not asking. I want the God who loved me even when I was his enemy. I want the God who says to David, “Hey, let me teach you how to fight in a new way, because one day, about ten years from now, you’re going to really need it. You don’t know it yet, you’re not going to trust me yet, but you will. Trust me now in the small, seemingly unimportant things. Learn to do what I say. Throw a rock at that lion. Do it. Trust me, because one day it’s going to make you king. You can do this, trust me.” Is”

“it never takes faith to believe what’s false. Never. But it does take faith to believe what’s true.”

“This intuitive state is also called prayer or meditation. We see it in the Bible in all the beautiful passages related to prayer and meditation. It's not magic. Your mind/brain is designed to transcend the rational. That's what it does; that's what it longs to do. The enemy's goal is to limit and narrow our thinking so that we can't see anything new but continue to tell ourselves why things cannot or will not work. We have an enemy who daily says to us, here's why that's not going to work. Plenty of other people will tell us the same thing. When we pray, God tells us how things do work, and we need to be able to hear him above the voices that tell us how things don't. Prayer is this place, up and out of ourselves, where nothing is impossible.”

“Do you know why the Holy Spirit rushed upon him when he was anointed king? Because that was David’s identity. That’s the true David. The real David can kill lions and write poetry but only the true David is a shepherd-poet-warrior-king filled with the Spirit of God. In the same way, the real you can accomplish things. But the true you can do . . . well, you don’t even know. You have no idea. Whatever level you find yourself within this world, you can go higher. This”

“The Lord loves you. He will usually begin communicating to you with an affirmation and a challenge—the same way Jesus related to people in the Gospels. This is what you’re supposed to be, and this is what you are supposed to do.”

“The obstacle to experiencing God anywhere in life is shame. Shame (feeling unworthy, not good enough) needs to be confessed. You know why? Shame is a false identity. Everything from “I look at pornography,” “I eat too much,” “I drink too much,” “I don’t do this,” “I need to do that,” and so on makes me feel one of three things: fear, guilt, or shame. Fear, guilt, and shame are false identities. It won’t matter how many accountability groups you go to, podcasts you listen to, or books you read. If you live in fear, you are still going to try to control things in order to cope with your anxiety. Your identity is fear.”

“From this account, we can surmise what elementary and middle school–aged David was doing with his time. He was learning to shepherd sheep, write poetry, and throw stones with a sling. In middle school or younger, David was practicing the very skills that would make him one of Israel’s greatest kings.”

“The speaker finally came to the head of Islamic Studies in a public-school system. “Do you agree that we must receive the sacrifice of Jesus as the way into the kingdom? That this is the only hope for the Muslim people of the world? Do you agree?” The room was silent. Then he looked at the speaker and said, “I’ve wanted to believe this my whole life; I just didn’t know we were allowed to. Yes, I agree.”

“There, about four hundred men come to him. First Samuel 22:2 describes them as “those who were in distress or in debt or discontented” (NIV). These are the men he attracts. What an army! Why does he attract these kinds of people? Because David knows his own identity. He’s a man after God’s own heart, and when these discouraged men look at David, they see the very heart of God. David takes those four hundred people, and in about three years’ time, he’s leading an army of six hundred of some of the greatest warriors in Israel’s history. Who are they? Four hundred losers who are now six hundred of the very best. How does he do that? How does a twenty-something-year-old, in that amount of time, take four hundred disenfranchised farmers, shepherds, and God only knows what else and transform them into men so skilled at warfare that they’re listed by their identities and what they can do on the battlefield? They actually become known in Hebrew as the gibborim or the mightiest.”

“Each day, try to understand more of the mystery of others: “God, teach me something about someone else that I do not know.”

“What do you want me to know and what do you want me to do in relation to the men there? Is there any part of me that is not in line with hearing your voice and acting from my true identity found in you?”

“If it wasn’t for God, I’d probably be dead. It’s crazy how fast it happened,” he said, shaking his head. “It’s like one moment you’re a hero and the next minute a criminal.” When we take our eyes off Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,6 we stop abiding and we become separate from truth. This separation results in a descent into falsehood. This descent, unchecked, whether gradual or rapid, is inevitable and often destructive. David”

“Then Saul says this amazing thing: “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again since my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have made a very great mistake” (v. 21 NASB). The chapter concludes with David going on his way and Saul returning home. This is a great lesson in conflict resolution. You want to end a conflict? Let the enemy know that their life is valuable in your eyes. Love them. Doing so ends conflict. But we won’t do that if we think it is a position of weakness. Yet, it is what David does, and Saul and his army walk away.”

“Lord, would you tell me or reveal to me one place in my life where I’m not living in truth? Write down what you sense. Don’t tell the Lord; allow him to tell you. It might be different from what you think. Don’t be afraid. Write it down.”

“There are ideas inside your mind, heart, and spirit that no one has ever thought of before. And the beauty is that these ideas want to come out of you. The sad part is that for most of you, it's not going to happen because your false self--your fear, guilt, and shame--will shut down your creative and imaginative true self. But there's good news! It can happen, and it can start today. You could say no to it today as well; you have that freedom. But I hope you won't. I hope you will not dare to say no to what is within you. The world needs what you have. The world needs the real you. I'm not talking about Christianity. I'm talking about whatever it is you know that we don't yet know.”
