God is speaking to everyone He wants to listen but He only has ongoing, long-term conversations with His friends. #translatingGod

We don’t have to be the encounter for the world. The whole world is filled with God’s encounters; we just need to recognize them and position people toward a relationship with God so they can live in His abiding presence through salvation in Jesus #translatingGod

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

God is not withholding his voice, but He is looking for people He can trust, friends He knows will love those He is speaking to in order to create the connection He intended with the revelation given. #translatingGod

To have true power in relationship to those around us we have to understand emotional intelligence and practice self-awareness. The more mature we get in love, the more we depend on prayer and our connection with people versus our conversations with them. #translatingGod

People who grow in the prophetic the quickest are the people who are already naturally encouraging everyone around them because they are looking to bless what God is doing on the earth. #translatingGod

“Developing a life in God‘s presence above all else is the only way to fill our God-given destinies. Keys to our calling are released when we spend time there.” Heidi Baker #translatingGod

The anointing is one’s ability to connect to the nature of God through a very real and tangible relationship. #translatingGod

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

The Hebrew mindset dictates that the power of God is His very nature manifested through His presence or connection to us. It’s not a live wire of current or spiritual electricity, it’s His love nature and the manifestation of his personhood. #translatingGod

Faith doesn’t deny a problem’s existence. It denies it influence. #billjohnson #translatingGod

Holiness is not sinlessness. It is the ability to see what is worth protecting and then saying no to sin to protect our yes to love. #translatingGod

The quickest way to reach the sun and the light of day is not to run west chasing after it, but to head east into the darkness until you finally reach the sunrise. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

Turning toward our pain is counterintuitive. But in fact, the heart of Christianity is that the way to life is through death, the pathway to resurrection is through crucifixion. Of course, it preaches easier than it lives. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

Loss marks the place where self-knowledge and powerful transformation happen — if we have the courage to participate fully in the process. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

One of the great fruits of the Wall is a childlike, deepened love for mystery. We can rest more easily and live more freely on the other side of the Wall, knowing that God is in control and worthy of our trust. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

our great temptation is to quit or go backward, but if we remain still, listening for his voice, God will insert something of himself into our character that will mark the rest of our journey with him. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

It is of critical importance to pay attention to our feelings in order to know God, however the “dark night of the soul” protects us from worshiping them #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

St. John of the Cross knew the human tendency to become attached to your feelings at or about God, mistaking them for God himself. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

We must define “responsibility” according to the Kingdom or else there will always be roadblock to Heaven invading earth. #inthequiet #seekfirstthekingdom

The secret of heaven’s power is not in the doing but in the being. -John G. Lake

[Anna Paxton @AnnaWagner1]

Jesus was not selfless. He didn’t live as if only other people counted. He knew his value&worth. He had friends. He asked 4help. At the same time Jesus was not selfish. He didnt live as if nobody else counted. He gave his life out of love 4others. #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality
