In some seasons, Jesus asks us, “Will you still love Me when things are not happening the way that you thought they would happen?

The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil (pursued ministry as their priority over getting oil). The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps (pursued oil as their priority before ministry). At the dark midnight hour of history, the Spirit will raise up forerunners who cry out that Jesus is coming as a Bridegroom God and that we must go out to meet Him (make the necessary effort to encounter Him). They all slept which speaks of living in context to the natural processes of life.

Jesus wants us to love Him in a way that gives Him full leadership over our lives.

Worship is not a twenty minute period during a church service, but a lifestyle of relating to God in a particular way.

Humility is the ultimate standard of greatness in the Kingdom of God.

Grace does not cancel out our responsibility or accountability for the things God has given us to do.

Intercession is God’s brilliant strategy for including the saints in ruling with Him in power. Yet, it has such great impact on us as it draws us into intimacy with God, protects with humility, transforms with holiness, anoints with power, unifies in community, releases revelation, and increases our inheritance while it trains us to rule with His wisdom.
