Sometimes an obstacle is placed in front of us by God for the purpose of upgrading our vision and experiencing our dream at a higher level. The obstacle can only be here by permission of God, so it has to help us become what He is seeing about us.

Prayer, in it's simplest form, is finding out what God wants to do and then asking Him to do it.

Problems are invitations. They allow us to have encounters and experiences that enable us to discover who God is for us.

I think God loves to speak to us prophetically, because there are a number of things which happen when you receive a prophecy.

It is in our DNA to create space, to open up safe places, and to change the atmosphere where we live.

When you’re not fully trusting in the Lord you’re concerned mostly about rescue. “I’m a Christian, get me out of here!” And the Lord is saying, “You’re kidding, right? I want to teach you who you are in this situation!” In some of our situations, He gives us power and authority to move. In other situations He gives us patience because that works just as powerfully, it’s just going to take a few extra weeks.

God is loving you into better relationships. He is loving you into being a more loving person. The more we grow in love, the less offended we become. The less offended we become, the more easily and quickly we get healed when people do wound us.
