DMM/CPM: The Other Side of Now

At What Cost?







Becoming the kind of people whom God uses for the launch of cascading movements to Christ is the healthiest DNA of all.


The Other Side of Now



Now is the flick of a moment. The rest is history or what will be. To rest in how God ends the story brings forth the increase of rest in my heart today.


The fruit of righteousness is peace. The effect of righteousness is quietness and trust (confidence) in God. To put on, to stand firm in, to be adorned by the righteousness of Christ is key. All the while, I recognize my desperate need to  depend upon the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It is the key to living the moment now, in fullness. It is the key to embracing the what once was as well as the possibilities of what could be. Disciple-Making Movements are on the heart of the Father. To be soaking in the presence of who He is shall posture my heart to the launch of the same, in His perfect timing.

In the cover of Christ’ forgiveness and righteousness, all which has been formed against me shall be vanquished, redeemed, and transformed.

To hold my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ is to rest upon the righteousness of Christ alone.

He alone is the epicenter of making all things right, setting all things straight for His own glory to be revealed in and through this flawed heart. The One who reveals all things is also in the white-hot pursuit of my incongruent thoughts and behaviors. Jesus is full-throttle in pursuit of my heart in all spaces and places of longing.

My greatest satisfaction in life is found only as I am deeply satisfied in Him, in His ways, and in His glorious purposes. Abundant life, real life, the real deal in real time is what He offers lavishly to the heart of those who follow His whisperings in total surrenderedness.
