The calling on my heart is to fight for the salvation, healing and sanctification of the hearts of men, women & kids through counseling, discipleship & prayer.

Hey Twitter friends, is it possible to do what Jesus did? Why or why not? #dustoftherabbi #dowhatjesusdid

@richvillodas this is so powerful, and it’s so true - “Being around Jesus doesn’t automatically mean we are being formed by Jesus.” #spiritualformation #beformed #yielded

“When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, our greatest desire is to lay down our lives for Jesus. Yet the thought of self-sacrifice never even crosses our minds, because sacrifice is the Holy Spirit’s ultimate expression of love.” @myutmost

“The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of rules and regulations— it is a picture of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His unhindered way with us.” @myutmost #unhindered #HolySpirit

Great questions from “My Utmost” today - “Is our attitude today an attitude that flows from our vision of God? Are we expecting God to do greater things than He has ever done before? Is there a freshness and a vitality in our spiritual outlook?”

[Stephen Hampton @StephenPHampton]

“If we are truly surrendered, we will never be aware of our own efforts to remain surrendered. Our entire life will be consumed with the One to whom we surrender.” #surrender @myutmost

@johnwylie A great reminder for one and all followers of Jesus. Thanks @johnwylie for tweeting it!

@EmmanuelAcho Intimacy. Physical intimacy - doing things together. Emotional intimacy - asking each other how are you really doing (so scary for men). Spiritual intimacy - praying together daily with your spouse. If these 3 are intentionally nurtured, sexual intimacy will be the result.

@richvillodas Love these questions! Thanks for sharing!

“This total surrender to “the love of Christ” is the only thing that will bear fruit in your life. And it will always leave the mark of God’s holiness and His power, never drawing attention to your personal holiness.” @myutmost

[Stephen Hampton @StephenPHampton]

A challenging question from Oswald Chambers to pastors and teachers - “ Is the Word of God tremendously penetrating and sharp in me as I hand it on to you, or does my life betray the things I profess to teach?” @myutmost

[Stephen Hampton @StephenPHampton]

@TimTebow @DemiTebow Happy Anniversary! May God continue to deepen your love for each other in body, soul and spirit.

“The Holy Spirit is always actively prompting us to go where Jesus is going and to say what Jesus is saying and to do what Jesus is doing.” @jdwalt @OfficialSeedbed #WakeUpCall

I’ll be thinking about this for awhile! So true! Thanks @richvillodas

I’ve learned afresh recently that many people don’t leave churches b/c of the theology the leadership holds, but b/c of the way the leadership holds that theology.

How we believe is just as important as what we believe. And in many ways, how we believe reveals what we believe.

“When we come to the end of ourselves, not just mentally but completely, we are able to “receive the Holy Spirit.” “Receive the Holy Spirit” — the idea is that of invasion. There is now only One who directs the course of your life, the Lord Jesus Christ.” @myutmost

[Stephen Hampton @StephenPHampton]

“Natural devotion may be enough to attract us to Jesus, to make us feel His irresistible charm, but it will never make us disciples. Natural devotion will deny Jesus, always falling short of what it means to truly follow Him.” @myutmost

[Stephen Hampton @StephenPHampton]

The miracle of Christmas is God "with" us offering us hope, love, joy and peace. The mystery of Christmas is God "in" us, and is the fulfillment of that hope, love, joy and peace. #ChristInUs #Miracle #Mystery #Fulfillment

[Stephen Hampton @StephenPHampton]

@richvillodas I love the simple, contemplative rhythm of this practice. Mine is similar. Thanks for sharing it!
