God wants us to experience continual restarts, rebirths, redefinitions, and to rebrand our lives.
Believing in the “Spirituality of Jesus” means believing he is intimately guiding our lives. Spirituality becomes a way of life.
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
Spiritual awareness means never settling for the superficial view that human resistance is responsible for our difficulties.
We are living in a time of fear-inducing chaos, when darkness is rising. We must embrace our responsibility to God and our neighbors to bring the light.
When reading Scripture, there is no shortage of profound spiritual mystery, interaction, and activity. So why is Christianity seen as more organizational than spiritual?
I hate waiting. I want control. Waiting means I don’t have control, which makes me fearful, anxious, pressured, and stressed. What about you? Do you also experience emotional tumult when forced to wait, knowing what you want will be delayed or maybe never happen?
For those dreams to come true, I would need to “Be The Thunder”, becoming emotionally strong enough to do what is necessary to make the dreams God has laid on my heart a reality.

There are many benefits of hard work in the Bible. Our capacity to grow can only be sustained if we understand the spirituality of hard work.
The Scriptures describe this meditative state as quietness or stillness, where we refuse to let our mind be unsettled by things beyond our control, and instead focus completely on what God is doing and capable of doing in our lives.
When we get burned out by the exhaustion of our human efforts, we will soon leave the church, and in time, leave God as well.
