Now, thanks to the ONI, I could. And I did.

How often we expect big things from God without preparing for big things from him

Leaders should never apologize for the strength of feeling that accompanies their God-given visions. God designed leaders to experience their longing, their desire, and their drive deeply, and to express it fully. And when they do, they energize others.

Something is always expected from us when God is revealed to be with us. It is a grave mistake to think the Holy Spirit is among us simply to comfort or encourage. That is a given. He is also present to make possible the impossible task in front of us! Perhaps this is part of what the apostle Paul

What God has planned for the Church in this hour is greater than our ability to imagine and pray.

To say that we have the power to heal someone is inaccurate, but to say that we do not have the power to heal someone is equally inaccurate. We cannot heal anyone, but Christ in us can. We cannot set anyone free, but Christ in us can. We cannot save anyone from his or her sins, but Christ in us can.

The truth is that all of Christ's commands are impossible to fulfill apart from His grace and supernatural power through the Holy Spirit. Our heart to obey whatever He says puts us in the place of living from the promise, "All things are possible to him who believes."(See Mark 9:23.) Our faith gives us access to all the resources of Heaven. This is why Christ commissioned us to do the impossible!

The standard for the Christian life should not be set by those who have lost their ability to dream for the impossible. Pursuing the impossible is our nature in Christ. Now and Not Yet The Kingdom of God is both now and not yet.

The Kingdom of God is not in logos but in dunamis.

God is the solver of impossible problems. He often does this through the co-laboring effect of His people.

by yielding to His will by dipping into the stream. My concern has little to do with anyone agreeing with me on the subject of sovereignty. My concern is that we will miss the heart of God for His people, for He is much more extravagant in His will for us than we have an imagination to capture. The bottom line is that many wait for Him to act. And oftentimes it is He who is waiting for us. We must learn to respond to what He's given us with acts of faith.

We will no longer make up excuses for powerlessness because powerlessness is inexcusable. Our mandate is simple: raise up a generation that can openly display the raw power of God. This book is all about that journey…the quest for the King and His Kingdom.
