Following the leading of God always requires radical obedience.  Peter's obedience to deliver the gospel to Cornelius' household exemplifies being led by the spirit of God.  We should expect similar leading and we should celebrate our steps of obedience.

Just Outside the Tent

Jesus did the works of the Father while on earth. He explained to his disciples that they knew the Father because they knew him. They were one and the same.

Two Engines of Praise

The proper response to the goodness of God in our lives is a life surrendered to Him. A life of sacrificial praise is a life consecrated before Him. Prioritizing our lives around what He delights in will prepare us to partner with the greater works He wants to do through us.

A Life of Sacrificial Praise

To advance the kingdom we are equipped with the tool of praise. Praise is the spiritual weapon that increases our joy when times are good. Praise is also an essential tool to maintain the King’s dominion in our world when times are bad.

God has entrusted us with authority like his on earth.  It is wielded through the weapon of our words.  With our tongue we praise God and are capable of cursing humanity.  Let's consider how we carry out our call to dominion.

Who we are in our home is who we are in the world. Peace is a primary measure of the kingdom. Praise is a tool God has given us to win the war against the kingdom of peace.

Patterns of Worship: Childlike Praise

Holiness is not a checklist of rules. It is a likeness to Christ achieved through presence based surrender, allowing Him to conform your mind, heart and will to His ways.

Be Holy for I am Holy

When the Holy Spirit landed on the church waiting in the upper room, the Church entered a new season that rendered the casting of lots invalid. We now like Moses can enter the Most Holy Place and be led through unimaginable access to the Holy Spirit.
