“There is no power from God that is separated from love. If you want to have influence, you have to join yourself to his love nature. This is more than a feeling or an emotion. It is an attitude of acceptance toward everyone and everything that is God’s, even if you can’t control it, manage it, or even nurture it. You are called to love.”
― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“God is raising up individuals who will carry the full manifestation of his desire. These people will take a leap of faith, in the hope that everything they invest into will prosper and with the goal of delivering to Jesus his great reward.”
― Shawn Bolz, Keys to Heaven's Economy: An Angelic Visitation from the Minister of Finance

“You are not rejecting a person if you reject his words. You get to receive the person with kindness and compassion and treat him as a human being. If someone gets offended and feels rejected just because you rejected his words, then stay away from him, because he has unhealthy heart boundaries that cause him to use prophecy to control or manipulate the people around him.”
― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice For Yourself And The World Around You

“Fearless love looks like this: I don't care what you think of me, there is a God in heaven who loves you so much that you won't care who I am; by the time you meet Him.”
― Shawn Bolz

“We don’t need to have a birthmark prophetically positioned in a sign on our third rib to tell us what the Bible has already told us: We are intricately, beautifully, and wonderfully made.”
― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“When Jesus was moved by compassion, it was not just a feeling he had, but an understanding and conviction of what those people meant to the Father.”
― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“When John came back from this experience, I am sure it changed the way he saw everyone and everything. He could probably no longer see with any value the weakness of individuals or the politics in the church. He was now seeing everyone with a full invitation to be that bride.”
― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“Many times when I didn’t feel qualified, or like I didn’t have the relational or emotional capacity, let alone the skillset, to speak to different people (it felt way out of my comfort zone), God’s personality and his passion possessed me in a way that made it easy. I am not limited to my resources; I am limited to his, even when reaching outside my comfortable space.”
― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“God wants interdependence from us, not self-reliance . He puts us in a place of risk-taking so that we will connect to— and stay connected to—Him.”
― Shawn Bolz, God Secrets: A Life Filled With Words of Knowledge

― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“When you feel the genuine love of God, you no longer feel a false responsibility to religious acts, but you feel real responsibility to love.”
― Shawn Bolz, Through the Eyes of Love: Encouraging Others Through Prophetic Revelation

“If an apostle is one who builds the kingdom of God by helping govern and administrate the Spirit’s activity on earth, why would we limit this role to ministerial positions within the walls of traditional congregations?”

“It is not in God’s nature to control us, so if we begin to work in a lesser way than we were designed to, he can only invite us into a higher place. If we do not respond to God when he draws us, then we become stumbling blocks because of our own self-centered desires. Even good Christian people can become the enemies of what God wants to accomplish: If their agenda and will do not imitate his, then they are against His. This is why it is so important to let our spirit and understanding be disciplined by God’s Word so that we can comprehend his desires and will. The main reason our desires do not match those of heaven is that we are motivated by materialism and pride, which Satan loves to play off of and manipulate. We may then use the very attributes God has given us to gain a selfish status that is counterproductive.”

“If we overcome the spirit of the world in whatever occupation we choose, God will give us dominion and power—a new means to operate in a higher role than that available in the natural. God is placing those who come into agreement with heaven in roles of authority far surpassing what any mere human can give. Just as Paul observed in Ephesians 1 and 2, it is important to understand this authority so that we can overcome the dynamics of striving to achieve it, even in the midst of secular occupations.”

“If you won’t allow someone to evaluate what you are saying or give you feedback when you prophesy to him, then you are essentially saying you are more important and have more authority, wisdom, and connection to what you are prophesying about than he does. That is the exact opposite goal of prophecy. Prophecy is supposed to connect people to the world around them and the God who loves them, not place you in the center of the equation.”

“El Espíritu Santo es literalmente el intermediario, entrelazando nuestros pensamientos con Dios. Debido a que compartimos Su Espíritu, podemos conocer los pensamientos más íntimos de Dios.”

“An anointing is being released to people with secular jobs so they can bring God a harvest just as great—and potentially many times greater—than those in church ministry.”
― Shawn Bolz, Keys to Heaven's Economy: An Angelic Visitation from the Minister of Finance

“In the days ahead, the Holy Spirit will use many who come in the imminent harvest, but God also longs to use many believers who are currently in fellowship with his divine purposes and equip them to invade the very heart of industries on earth, displaying the creative power of God.”

― Shawn Bolz, Translating God: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You

“But Jesus came to earth because God loves everyone on this planet. “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3: 16). We should treat everyone with honor, as though they are worthy of that price, even if they ultimately don’t choose it.”
― Shawn Bolz, Through the Eyes of Love: Encouraging Others Through Prophetic Revelation

“If our identity in our secular job is inconsistent with our ministry for God, we then fragment in the ways we approach daily activities in each sphere. By compartmentalizing our lives, we will not be flowing out of our spiritual core, which is dependent on him. God endowed the Hebrew culture with such complete truths about how to function without separating from oneself or other members of one’s community. The Hebrew mindset did not compartmentalize or separate one area of life from another. In fact, it taught—and in some Jewish circles still teaches—the most holistic way of living, where everything in life is connected and flows together.”
― Shawn Bolz, Keys to Heaven's Economy: An Angelic Visitation from the Minister of Finance

“God’s heart is not to obliterate who we are and our culture, but to infiltrate every part of us and all areas of culture and align it with His love, which can transform and restore everything He created to the fullness of His original plan and purpose.”
― Shawn Bolz, Through the Eyes of Love: Encouraging Others Through Prophetic Revelation

“Why do the wicked prosper?” In essence, there are many answers, but they all boil down to one common denominator: The wicked prosper because God will not control human nature. He will only invite us into his affections.”
