In the West many Christians have an abundance of material possessions, yet they live in a backslidden state.

You don’t need miracles in the west. You have insurance.

I feel so sorry that many Christians live in bondage even though Jesus has signed their release form with His own blood.

Do not be satisfied with God's calling or His gifts in your life. Be satisfied with Jesus Christ Himself.

On many occasions I have been asked if I think persecution will come to the Western church. My answer might surprise you. I believe that if you find yourself enslaved inside a controlling church structure of legalism and bondage, then you are already being persecuted! So many Christians seem impossibly distracted from hearing God's voice. Instead of listening to that still, small voice that brings true peace and joy, they blindly follow the voices of mainstream religion. The worst kind of persecution for a Christian is when you are separated from the joy and presence of the Holy Spirit.

We shouldn't pray for a lighter load to carry but a stronger back to endure! Then the world will see that God is with us, empowering us to live in a way that reflects his love and power.
