Faith does not come from our understanding. It comes from the heart. We do not believe because we understand; we understand because we believe (see Heb. 11:6). We'll know when our mind is truly renewed, because the impossible will look logical.

Many make the mistake of trying to grow their faith through striving and self-determination. This always leads to disappointment and frustration. It can also lead to presumption, which is counterfeit faith—and devastating. Use the measure of faith you have to discover Him for the sake of knowing Him. Increased faith is the result.

Trading anything for more of God really is the greatest deal ever offered to mankind.

The quest for the face of God has two central dimensions—the quest for His presence and the quest for His favor.

The realm beyond reason is the world of obedience to God.

Anyone who doesn't have an experience with God, doesn't know God." He is a person, not a philosophy or a concept.

God is the solver of impossible problems. He often does this through the co-laboring effect of His people.

Faith is focused entirely on God and exists because of Him. Faith is active, and is completely dissatisfied with theories and ideals that cannot be proven, that do not bear fruit. It derives its life from the voice and nature of God. It is unto God, to bring Him pleasure and glory. Such a life is anything but a comfortable life of caution. It is bold, brave, courageous and risky.

Why is what anyone thinks so important to you that you'd not be willing to risk all to trust God? The fear of man is very strongly associated with unbelief.

He said that God has closed up the realm of the miraculous to me, not as punishment, but to draw me into the desperation needed to maintain it as a lifestyle once I received my breakthrough.

Teaching MUST be followed with action that makes room for God to move.

Fear attacks the foundation of our relationship with God—our faith. Fear is faith in the devil; it is also called unbelief.
