This was so good. I liked the comment about not having to arm wrestle ourselved into good behavior. Letting God do His good work in me as I recognize my everpresent need of Him is so much more effective. I appreciated this so much. Thanks, Bob

your relationship with Jesus is one that matters :: a church service should be teaching US how to find the answer… NOT GIVE OUT ALL THE ANSWERS.

Personal Revelation is life altering :: Nice one Bob … boom

For me the most profound idea, or at least the one that caught my attention, was that of taking dominion over “the invisible world”. We all seek direction and purpose in life and when things don’t work out the way we had hoped or expected, we may feel unfulfilled, or that our lives lack value or meaning, or we may even feel a failure. What went wrong? What could I have done differently?

We may find purpose and identity in a career, being a parent, a spouse, or serving your country, the list goes on; all of which are noble occupations. But what if you were stripped of all that? If you had no country, no home, no job, no family…would your life still have purpose?

I would suggest that all the occupations we define our “visible lives” by, that we strive to succeed at, and measure our success by, can obscure our real purpose. What is our true assignment? I like how you put it, an assignment given to Adam way back then… to practice your authority as a son or daughter of the Living God, to take dominion of “the invisible world”.

Maybe I’m the only one, but I constantly forget, or lose sight of the fact that I have authority, I have POWER, I can make a difference where it matters. How much more fulfilling life would be if we could have our spiritual eyes constantly open to see what we can accomplish in “the invisible world”, and it would get our focus off trying to be somebody in “the visible world”.

Great word today, this is fantastic. I have always disliked how the “church” taught us what we should be like, but they always seemed to leave out how, exactly, to do that…and I think you put into words what I had been looking for for years prior to coming to Gateway and allowing the Holy Spirit to use these truths to begin to change my heart. I personally love #2, practice “internal surrender.” Again, great word today, Bob.

Oh so good. I printed this to carry around with me. Thank you for writing this. We have heard it said, and I know I don’t always know how to apply it. This helped in a specific area that I have been going into battle over lately. This may just help me push that battle to my victory. YES!!!!!
