From A Place Of Reality

God gives you Truth for yourself, not to apply to others. Truth only holds the power for freedom when it's acting on YOU. He gives us Truth because he is ever preparing His bride. He is making us into people who can hold greater and greater weights of His anointing. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's no such thing as being called by Jesus and without being called to a high calling... It's not for you though. It's for the profit of everybody else. The joy of participation, THAT's for you.Scripture this week:1 Corinthians 10:1-13:13Luke 4:20-22. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The calling of the Lord is that we host two things: the Presence of God, and the sacred presence of OTHERS.Scripture this week:John 6:51-68Romans 11:29, 12:9-131 Kings 18:18-19:18 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You are your own worst Pharisee. The message of the cross is this: if you bring your worst, and dare to meet Him in the scary, inward place, He will meet you there with compassion, kindness, and grace. Your anointing is in that place, and Jesus made it safe.Scripture this week:1 Corinthians 1:18-23Matthew 16:24, 11:28John 7:37-39Romans 2:25-29John 4:6-24Luke 11:37-521 John 3:2-3 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jesus's ministry is your ministry. His anointing is your anointing. But His cross is NOT your cross. Accepting your own cross is the doorway to anointing... So what IS your cross??Scripture this week:1 Corinthians 1:18-21Matthew 16:21-27Luke 14:25-27, 17:20-21John10:7-10Galatians 5:1-5 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Lord speaks in many ways but for only one reason. The Lord ONLY speaks to you because He LOVES you.Scripture this week:John 21:1-141 Corinthians 2:1-15Romans 10:17John 6:1-9, 20:25-29Luke 17:20-21 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There are levels to this faith thing. Our faith is deepened by hearing, and we hear by the Rhema word of God which speaks to the deepest longing of the human heart. The deepest faith is the absolute assurance of your identity as His beloved.Scripture this week:Romans 10:17Mark 6:30-45Matthew 14:22-36John 10:3-4Luke 9:10-20 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our God is a consuming fire. As the people of the ACTUAL presence of God, we play with fire. When we pray for a greater anointing on His church, we should be EXPECTING fire. There are casualties. There are temptations to be distracted by the losses in those hard places, but we shouldn't mourn the effects of the Lord's fire.

The only way we completely swing open the doors of anointing is to see His glory with such vivid clarity that everything else is irrelevant. We can't witness to people "on the other side" if we make enemies of them.Scripture this week:Galations 6:7-10Exodus 33:12​-23Numbers 6:22​Matthew 5:1-10Luke 18:1-8Acts 9:1-9, 22:6-23:5, 26:1-18 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We seek a mysterious person, not a mysterious power. His presence is not a comforting, peaceful thing when we are not in submission to Him and His government. In the government of His kingdom, the way we transform into a place that can receive anointing is by choosing submission when He gives us the opportunity.Scripture this week:1 Samuel 15:10​-28Psalm 16:5-12 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Do you want powerful, ever increasing anointing in your life? For great anointing to be upon your life, to expose the Kingdom of God and bring people into it, there is a price.John 6:1-9, 14:25​, 15:5-19Matthew 20:20​-28, 26:36​-39 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Even Jesus needed anointing. What was His anointing? It's the same as yours: to preach the Gospel to the poor. What does that mean? Let's talk about it!Scripture this week:Acts 2:14​-16Luke 4:16​-19Isaiah 42:32 Corinthians 5:16​-19 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Your identity is rooted and grounded in His love because He IS love, and it is to the measure that you have revelation of the Father’s love for you that you are prepared to receive anointing. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The anointing of God has gotten a bad rap because it's become a "super star" thing. But He never intended His anointing for super stars. We want the joy of participation in anointing. Scripture this week: 1 John 2:15-29 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
