“That is why the sharp edges of hospitality ought not to be overlooked: God does not love us just the way we are. God’s love is costly, bloody, and powerful. It bore down on the mocking of Satan and the betrayal of friends. His mercy in the Son paid the price of his justice in the Father, and his Spirit forges an irreplaceable, unbreakable, and eternal union with him that carries us through death itself (Psalm 147). This is authentic Christianity, and its steep costs and high yield can be withstood only when the strength of our words matches the strength of our relationships.”

“Hallelujah! The Spirit breathes, the Spirit lifts, the Spirit renews, the Spirit quickens. He brings life where death was. He brings truth where no vision was. He brings revelation, for God is in that man. He is in the power of the Spirit, lost, hidden, clothed, filled, and resurrected.”

“Unbelief imposes limits on our faith that God never intended. These limitations are rooted in fear, misinformation, and deception. Satan knows that unlimited faith is devastating to his counterfeit kingdom; therefore he does everything in his power to neutralize it. How does he accomplish this task? Well, if faith is the conviction of the truth of God’s Word, then unbelief is the conviction of a lie. When we are operating in unbelief we don’t cease to believe, we simply believe something that is not true. The disciples were convinced that the demon they were facing was too great for them to deal with. This was a lie. They had all the authority they needed to deal with the devil.”

“Believe His promises. Think about them. Ponder them in your mind. Speak them with your lips. Act upon them in simple child-like faith and God will fulfill them in your life by a miracle today—now.”
