Faith without vision would just implode and self-destruct ...but when faith catches vision, it will simply have to EXPLODE Sure it will explode; it will have no choice Ha... ha... ha... ...if we are talking about a kind of faith that is similar to that which God exercises ...and especially when we start talking and thinking in terms of the very faith of God Himself That faith of God generates God's energy, and God's limitless creative ability It is that very explosive element that very faith of God that I desire us to talk about and consider in this book together I want us to measure together, not merely our vision for ourselves and for our ministry ...but God's vision for our lives and for our ministry right here in 2014 and then in 2015 and beyond I thank God that we no longer need to allow ourselves to be intimidated by anything that the future holds for natural man ...because, we are not mere men Hallelujah We are so much more I thank God that we have the privilege to discover the vision of ourselves that God's Word inspires This book is part of the series: Helping the believer to fully appropriate truth

All that God labored for, for you, what He accomplished for you, on your behalf, is exactly what He has in mind for you God does not have in mind, a lesser value, a lesser measure of all that He worked for, for each one of us ...for each one of you reading this book The only reason why some of us continue to live in a frustrated experience in our faith is simply because we have not yet fully laid a hold; fully grasped and believed all that He has worked for and accomplished in Christ Jesus God is not to blame if there is prevailing evidence in your spirit and in your life, in your testimony, of need and of lack He says, "I have come that you might have LIFE, and have it more abundantly " But you see, only within the light of what He accomplished do we find access into that life-quality that Jesus calls, "abundance." That "abundance," is our portion ...nothing less, amen In this book I do my best to inspire you, not to settle for anything less than His faith, in your heart and life; than His "abundance " This book is part of the series: Helping the believer to fully appropriate truth It is also a follow up to my book "God's Measure versus Man's Measure"

This book is part of the series: Helping the believer to fully appropriate truth The whole focus of the teaching in this series of books is to help the believer understand how to enter into the full benefit of what God has redeemed Man for ...helping us to so comprehend and appreciate and apprehend and accommodate and appropriate everything that God has in mind for Man. We have witnessed in our own experience how often we have been robbed of the full weight of the Word ...how often our experience in God was interrupted, and we began to think, 'Well maybe it was meant to be like that. Maybe that full experience is only meant for the sweet by and by.' But how, in fact, we have now come to a grasping of what God has purposed and accomplished in His Son's work on our behalf, and in His gift to us of His Spirit and of the revelation of Truth, to support and sustain our daily encounter with Him. So therefore the focus of this book and the focus of this whole series of books are to help the believer fully appropriate God's Truth in his and her personal experience of God.

What is revealed in Redemption will bring about Perfect Praise Perfect Praise is merely the fruit, and the end result, of an accurate appreciation, and full embrace of, Redemption realities This new language of Grace in Redemption is finally coming forth through revelation truth, and it is transforming not only our Praise & Worship songs but even our very lives

...Mankind exists in applause; our whole existence, our whole being is one that hungers for acceptance and positive recognition. We find the meaning for our lives in positive recognition. We cannot exist outside of positive recognition... and yet... we always get disappointed with our own performance, we never become satisfied ...our estimation of the worth and value of our lives remain in flux, and we end up miserable and worn out from our own self efforts... you see, when we do this, I'm measuring, I'm seeking desperately to measure the worth of my life in terms of my performance, in terms of my achievement, in terms of other people's approval of my life... Did you know that even if the whole world would stand on their feet loudly applauding you ...even though you manage to gain the whole world and their approval... their applause would be a mere inconsistent fulfillment in your life, a failing fulfillment, and there would soon appear within you a new hunger, a new motivation, a new drive for yet another experience that would exceed yesterday's triumph... another experience that would exceed all of man's approval My book: God's Measure versus Man's Measure, is a continuation of this subject. Make sure to read that one as well: -)

God wants our relationship with Him to be a relationship of mutual trust ...where we trust Him, and wherein He can trust us ...and entrust us with His grace God is looking for faith-full people that He can trust ...not faithless people; faith-empty people Amen Ha... ha... ha... Are you holding on to that revelation from God, of Himself and of us, which He Himself has given us in Christ Jesus? Can God trust you with that? Can He entrust you with that knowledge, and know that you will be faithful with it? Are you trust-worthy? Because you see, maintaining you focus in God's revelation of Himself and of you in Christ Jesus is of the utmost importance It has everything to do with your trust-worthiness ...in relationship with Him ...and in ministering to others In this book God wants to speak a word of revelation into your spirit that will sustain you in these things ...He wants His revelation of Himself and of us in Christ Jesus to become a treasure to us that we hold on to and refuse to let go of ...He wants us to see it and recognize it and embrace it for what it is; a precious Word straight from His heart ...that will cause us to fall in love with Him and become addicted to His love and His truth God wants that Word and that revelation of Himself and of us in Christ Jesus to be fully embraced ...so that it might find root in our lives and produce a harvest according to His purpose

In one of my other books "No Longer Looking for Applause" I explored the concept of people's hunger for applause and their need for positive recognition ...and the extent that they would go to, to receive that recognition from other people ...as a basis for righteousness ...as a basis for justification ...as a basis to bolster their ego and feed their pride and silence or soothe their conscience ...and so to justify their existence on this planet You see every person at their core realizes from the earliest stages of consciousness that there is more to them than meets the eye, ...we have all come to realize that there is more to us than just kind of making it through the day and through the season ...and then to die at a good old age, and hopefully to be able to leave an inheritance to our children, and a monument to our good conduct ...we all know, deep within ourselves that there must be more to life; that we were made for more ...for more than just a natural existence ...so we hunger and crave for righteousness ...what I mean is we all hunger for the kind of appreciation; the kind of approval ...that would permanently satisfy and fulfill us. But let me tell you, God did not have in mind a being in us, that would be inferior ...and not measure up to His own approval ...not measure up to be His eternal companion He did not leave any of us in any way lacking in glory ...lacking in the full brilliance of what we were designed for ...lacking in the full brilliance of His very own design ...lacking in the full brilliance of His own image and likeness

You see people all around you, the people of this world, are caught up in a season of life, whatever season of life they may be in, but they are caught up and entangled in that season ...and their entire mentality in life is just to earn wages and to spend those wages ...to earn their wage ...but in the end they are merely living from hand to mouth the whole time ...but we who know God's grace in truth, we have discovered our lives ...we have found ourselves ...we have found our lives ...our lives are hidden with Christ in God And therefore we ...we are possessed by the Spirit of God, by LOVE Himself Even as I am writing this, I want to tell you, I am overwhelmed right now ...because the word I want to bring you is from God, it is so from the heart of God So open your heart and receive what God wants to give you in this book. It is His pure word that we speak ...it is a mature word. I am writing in the very presence and sight of God, and what I want to be sharing with you on in this book is: the SUKAY (PSUCHE) nature, the SUKAY life, versus the Zoe nature, the Zoe life ...the nature of God ...the life of God ...the ZOE life of God ...that very life-quality which God wants us to enjoy with Him for all eternity
