A basic principle of stewardship is that God knows what you can handle. When we put our trust in God, we must believe that He puts His trust in us. When commanders of armies would enter a new land, they would burn the ships as a decision to never look back and to forge ahead into new territory. When entering new territory, the mind must remain a student of the spirit and accept not understanding everything. Learn to discern with your spirit, not with your mind. There are new realms of favor, encounters, and the supernatural and we only have one option-- forge ahead!
Grace is the operational power of God. The challenge is to be stewards of the grace God has already given us. It is important to steward your time, emotional strength, physical strength, and spiritual strength in order to have longevity. There is peace in doing what God has for us, and there is always enough time to do everything the Lord has called us to do. Manage your whole being. Protect your innocence and learn to say "no". Live out of who you are, whose you are, and what He requires of you.
The tension in Scripture is an invitation to receive revelation. This causes Christians to seek relationship with God instead of having a relationship based on rules. Relationship is the foundation of how to comprehend revelation and relieve tension. The greatest revelations come over time and with process. We need to value our inheritance in the same measure as those who gave their lives to give it.
The un-renewed mind is at war with God. The renewed mind enhances the expression of faith and cooperates with a life-style of faith.
We have dual citizenship. We are citizens of this world, but also of heaven. At times we live with a world view hoping to tap into heaven. We can't use the rules of the world to tap into the resources of the kingdom of heaven.
When you experience something with God, it is that is an introduction into your inheritance. We need to steward it to come into more. In this world resources are moved by human need. In His world it is not human need that pulls on resources, it is faith and stewardship.
We don't teach our experience when it comes to sin, we teach what the Word says. However, with healing we teach not everyone you pray for will be healed. We don't teach out of our experience for sin, and we owe the world the same teaching in regards to disease. Our theology must come from the goodness of God. Our theology can't be built around our imperfection, but formed around the perfection of Christ.
