Moving From Brokenness to PurposePrzykład

An authentic spiritual life doesn’t come through rituals, budgets, programs, buildings, or even religion. Spiritual life, power, and strength come from the Spirit. The closer you are to the Spirit, the more abundant life you experience and the more influence you carry out (John 10:10; 15:7). An important part of maturing spiritually comes from finding healing in those areas that hold you back. Forgiveness frees you from the slavery of self-pity and blame. Both make you ineffective for the kingdom of God. You must intentionally and personally pursue spiritual growth, spiritual maturity, and mental and spiritual health if you are going to have a lasting impact on the lives you touch. As we all grow and develop individually, this process will enable us to identify, own, and address the issues plaguing us on many fronts today, both culturally and as the body of Christ. It’s time we awaken ourselves not only spiritually but also culturally, so we will take to the field and overcome the enemy’s opposition at hand. Why is spiritual maturity an ongoing pursuit rather than a one-time goal?
