The degree to which open-hearted love for and surrender to Jesus is being expressed through your words and your life is indictive of how much He is impacting you day by day. (“By their fruits you shall know them.”)

The neglect of Christ-followers to openly and publicly express and testify to the mighty workings of God in, through, and around them has led to the false belief among many Christians that God no longer (or rarely) does miracles. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” When people daily encounter the risen Jesus and then begin to freely, courageously, and boldly express what He’s doing in them, they spread spiritual fire.

A heart-to-heart encounter with the risen Jesus, a flash of direct revelation in your spirit, can do in an instant what a lifetime of religion can never accomplish! Ask Jesus to express and demonstrate His power, presence, and love in your heart. Then humbly receive what He does!

Faith unfelt
That doesn't melt
The human heart
With daily awareness
Of God's undeserved love
Is a religious sedative
That may settle the nerves
But leaves the soul
Unwhole.

It's never been cool
To be a fool
For Christ
And to let Him rule
Your daily life,
But if you let Him
Bring peace
To your inner strife
He will make your
Inner lostness cease!

What if God
Simply wants
Your heart
Fully surrendered
To His hands
So He can mold you
Like a potter
Molds his clay
And lead you
By His Spirit
Throughout each day?

Let no tormenting thought
Be brought
To your mind
Without having sought
To keep it out
And courageously fought 
Against it
Until you've been taught
To never surrender your mind
To any thought
That can bring you
Or others harm.
