{ How Audacious is Your Faith? by Steven Furtick }

"being dumb enough to believe God can do anything.."

"that anything is written in His word is possible to believe.."

"i do not believe that God has call me to survive the world, but change it for His glory.."

"i want to have stories to tell.."

"if the size of the vision in your ministry and your life isn't intimidating to You, it is a good chance it is insulting to God.."

"if you will dig the ditches, God will send the rain. if you will do what you can do, He will do what only He an do. and that is verified only in His word.."

{ Fear of.. Men. }

yes, we have that in us but it comes in different forms and levels. do not really know what to begin with this, because one has come to a point, of simply wanting this off me. completely.

who really cares of what others may think of you when the One is always thinking highly of you despite your lack or limitations. it is just such a shame when one is bonded in such a way, which really can be a hindrance to your true actions and heart of the matter.

glad the meaning of fear in men and in God is vastly different which brings comfort to the soul. in worship, there is freedom and freedom indeed. not caring for a bit of how one is looked at and simply coming to His throne just as you are.

acceptance is never compromised and conditional, hence liberation reigns in this place, and in our hearts, minds, and spirit. how i just want to bask here all the days of my life.

"thank You Lord, for loving and accepting me for who i really and truly am -- the person behind closed doors and when no one is really looking. the person where You personally know the heart of and am well pleased in Your sight. this is love, and this is grace.

i shall no longer be bounded by the fear of men, but be free in the very worship of Your presence. one is now fully secured in this foundation called, cornerstone -- where You are quite at home."

{ HS2013. }

{ A heart solely after You. }

"You don’t need skill to serve God,
you just need a good heart."

- J. Meyer

a heart after Him is all He ever needs to reign in His kingdom that He has at hand for each and everyone of us. there are simply no limits to serve the King -- because the King Himself have once sacrificed all so that whatever He has right now, is now forever ours.

"unto You an offering, will my life forever be."

{ Unstoppable grace Pt. 3 }

Your grace abounds in me,
that is why we are never gonna stop.

{ De-care to Him. }

"If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, don't you think He'll attend to you, take pride in you, do His best for you?"

- Luke 12:25 (Msg)

how much more will He give to us -- His best that supersedes all that is known and experienced. His supply that comes from above which eternalize all natural forms. His grace that knows no end.

-----

"Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are."

- Luke 12:27 (NLT)

not even solomon who is rich and magnificent in all glory could even come close. to imagine the most wealthy men of all earth does not even compare to one flower that God cares for. to know that it is not by our toil and self made solution and resources brings hope to all.

-----

"Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully."

- 1 Peter 5:7 (Amp)

as You take all of our cares and whatever that weighs us down, one soon finds that all of one's needs are found in You. and what is left is Your grace abounding in me.

-----

"take it all Lord, and have Your grace and promises make known and standing firm."

{ His words are all that matters. }

But He replied, It has been written,

Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

- Matt 4:4 (Amp)

{ You are who God says you are. }

"Remember, you are not who people say you are,
you are who GOD says you are."

- J. Osteen

{ View from heaven to earth. }

was under the weather so i decided to pop in one of j.smith sermon dvds from hills 08. yes, it took my lazy bottom five years to actually play it again. repentance is now. i kid.

it is truly time to change one's point of view as he boldly encourages -- a view that is not from earth to heaven, but heaven, to earth. and the kingdom perspective is always far above it all, because the God of the cosmos sees everything. nothing can hide from His view as He is the creator and the very existence of all things.

instead of staying comfy in our tents where how we say, think, and feel is only based on our very own, and with God only coming partially in the picture, how about coming out from it? isn't one already sick of the limited perspective and small possibilities that faith is normally seen easier to be enlarged in?

to imagine a view from heaven to earth will definitely give us a new set of eyes to finally see through the eyes of Grace which speaks of supply and none else.

that is the beauty of the heart of our God -- abram asked for just one kid but God took him out from his tent and told him to look up and count the stars because those represent each and everyone of his decedents and their destinies, which translates back to every 7 billion one of us.

imagine that. Grace does not just gives enough, but there is always more that is attached to it simply because He does not ever stop. our heavenly Father knows no end.

heard this verse saying "where He started, He will faithfully complete it" three times this week. first from Him personally for another person, on bible gateway, and then on this very sermon itself. can He be any more obvious? i kid again.

to give a thought, when He said He will faithfully and personally complete whatever that He started, He already did. when the law bounded us, God Himself literally came down and finished what was thought impossible. He personally took care of everything. how will He not do anything else?

here's to a journey of seeing it like a King.

"open the eyes of my heart and all other senses to be in tune with Yours and none else. have me not be easily moved by my feelings, but by Your faith You have running in us and through us.

take over."

{ I Desire Jesus - Hillsong }

I desire Jesus
Precious Lamb who ransomed me
Upon the cross He took my sin
By His blood He set me free

I desire Jesus
O His name my soul esteem
For upon His thorn-scarred brow
Is the crown of victory

He is worthy of all honour
All glory to His Name
He alone deserves
Our highest praise
And forever He will reign

I desire Jesus
Triumphant One the earth awaits
For on that day the earth will shine
With the glory of Your name

You are worthy of all honour
All glory to Your Name
You alone deserve
Our highest praise
And forever You will reign

You are all glorious
You are all glorious
My heart leans in
My soul must sing
You are all glorious

I desire Jesus
Precious Lamb
Who ransomed me
Unto You an offering
Will my life forever be

{ Grace Abounds by Hillsong }

You lay aside Your throne
And to this world, You have come
You offered up Your life
The debt You paid, was not Yours

Your grace abounds to me
Your grace abounds to me
Jesus, in You I find all that I need

A gift I could not earn
Your open arms are undeserved
Enabled by Your grace
Now to live is Christ alone

All powerful, All glorious
There's nothing like the name of Jesus

All powerful, All glorious
There's nothing like Your name

{ Unstoppable Grace Pt. 2 }

"Grace simply knows no end.."

He is not just enough, but more. His supply always runs over, not meeting just the par. God is never ever good with targets. when is He ever?

{ Unstoppable Grace. }

"for Grace was not stopped at the cross, nor it shall ever be."

{ Hit me with Your best shot. }

think He definitely did. right smack to the core.

G: "don't you think My standards are high?

still harping on this one…

{ Release. }

all of a sudden, i just felt a huge release from everything that were once thought of being good in the eyes and point of view of one's own. it is like the hold has been loosen and gone just, like, that. what use to be of importance have gone down and off the list.

"G., i'm open. to what plans you already have, that i never thought of even going in that direction and place, am now letting You lead me to where You wanted to bring me all along. a place of boldness, a place of security, a place of supply, a place of wholeness, a place of true satisfaction and a place of trust.. because Daddy only gives the best of the very best.

whatever You have installed, i'm ready."
