“The cross that Jesus calls us to take up is the fallen, self-centered, egotistical shells that our souls are forced to reside in until we die and are given new, Heavenly bodies.”
“When we praise God in our struggles, we enthrone Him in our lives. When we whine and complain about our situations, we enthrone the enemy in our lives instead. It’s a binary choice. There is no middle ground.”
“While God still continues to find ways in which to bless us, no matter what, our changing attitudes and belief towards Him can sometimes limit His ability to do so”
“It is the tragedy of today’s churches that leaders don’t invest enough of their time in searching their flock and allowing God to discern and reveal their calling to them.”
“Being joint heirs is not just some “by and by” promise of a Heavenly inheritance. It is the empowerment to act as an heir with Jesus to continue the work He began here and now.”
“Although Jesus was fully God, He was also fully man, which was necessary for our sacrifice and redemption…He had to lean and depend on the same Spirit of God as we do in order to accomplish His Father’s will.”
“We are better able to advance Christ when we go as a team, where each of us operate in our strengths and compensate for each other’s weaknesses, rather than if we just went at it alone.”

“It starts with the seeking. There’s no other way that we can discover who we are, what God has for us, how He feels about us, and the impact that we can have on those around us, if we’re not seeking God on a daily basis.”
“If you’re not putting the revelations of God into action in your life when you receive them, then the enemy is going to have time to marshal his forces against you, making it harder and harder for you to act on them later on.”
“Christ didn’t just go to the cross to save us for the afterlife. It was also so He could enter into our daily lives, and make this life the abundant life that He promised us.”
“We often treat our churches like restaurants or other entertainment venues. But church is meant to be a triage center where people who are struggling can go and seek out the healing they need.”
“The five-fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers within the church) is a reflection of Christ, not only in how He operated, but also in His character.”
“If God changes your situation without changing you first, it doesn’t benefit you long term, and you’ll never fulfill the purpose He has for your life.”
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10)
“Don’t pursue the good life, pursue the God life. The God life is the purposeful life.” Marco
“The problem is that too many people, when they hear the ‘God Life’, they hear the Ten Commandments.” Carlo
