Quotes from Heidi Baker

All I could think of was what a privilege it was to give my life away for love's sake.

Ministry is being one of theses sent out ones, a labourer of love.

Love looks like something.

Every time I have had a heavenly vision, I have been undone by Jesus's eyes of love.

A minister is simply a sent one. You might only be sent across the street, but it does not matter. To God, whether it is to one or the masses, it is the same—it is love incarnate.

Rather than being purpose-driven, I prefer to be presence-centered. All our efforts in God's Kingdom must originate from the place of rest, the place of His presence.

The reason I have come to serve here, the reason I am alive, is for this purpose and this purpose alone: to learn how to love as Jesus loved.

God, I'm not satisfied. I cannot live ankle-, knee-, or waist-deep. I must be completely immersed in Your presence. Lord, here I am. Immerse me. I do not want to keep from drowning. I want to drown in Your love. I want to know what it is to be immersed and undone. I want to know what it is to be out of control and for You to be totally and completely in control. Lord, come like a rushing river. I invite You to sweep me away to deeper places.

The ones who have read this will be inspired to become a part of the army of healers that God envisions all His people to be.

We have to let go of our preconceived ideas, our carefully worked-out plans, our way of doing things so God can live in us. We need new life, His life. If we are going to make room to carry His glory, we have to die first. We have to take our place at the cross and say, as Jesus said, "Not my will but yours, God. Your will. I will drink the cup You have called me to drink, whatever the cost.

God is not interested in using the mighty, but the willing. He is not into using amazing people, just ones who are prepared to lay their lives down before Him. God is not looking for extraordinary, exceptionally gifted people, just laid-down lovers of Jesus who will carry His glory with transparency and not take it for themselves.

It is not how good we are at being Christians but how good we are at dwelling and resting in God.
