Religion idolizes concepts and avoids personal experience.

Any revelation from God's Word that does not lead us to an encounter with God only serves to make us more religious. The Church cannot afford 'form without power,' for it creates Christians without purpose.

Any area of my life for which I have no hope is under the influence of a lie.

Many stop short of a divine encounter because they are satisfied with good theology. The word of God is to lead us to the God of the word.

My history shouts the power of the blood of Jesus. My presence demonstrates the absolute love, affection and purpose of God for my life. My future is drawing me into a hope-filled life that has a purpose of saying, 'on earth as it is in Heaven.'

If we rejoice in the acts of God without discovering His ways, we'll question who He is when He doesn't do what we've asked.

To have divine favor on your life means you'll attract extraordinary opposition
