Wow! what amazing teachings…So simplistic & yet sooooo deep..Thank you, brother Chip, as you are a huge breath of fresh air that I have so desperately needed. I have been all over your site & I am looking forward to reading all your articles…I feel like I have been led by God to your site as this is what I have been looking for…I studied for 2 years under C. Peter Wagner & even managed to get my bachelor’s & master’s degrees through their ministry but months later found out that his ministry is a hoax along with all those that embrace his dominionism. I am soooo thankful to you, Chip, for being one of the bright lights I have needed in my life…I started your discipleship course last night…Thank you & God bless you & your family!!!

When I take a look at my children I just noticed: Where I have done the least(in my own strength)-the Lord has done the MOST !

In reading the comments i believe it is not our Lord that

separates children from there parents this year i am

expecting great things from the Lord believe that the Lord

will bring them back to you just show them Christs love no

questions or expectations his love will melt there hearts.

You are his vessels he will surely do this.The word says ask

and you will receive just believe.What is impossible to man

is possible to God.When we walk in him according to his will

and purpose we are his channels and he will fulfill the

desires of our hearts.In the past i walked as a carnel

christian because of this my prayers and faith were weak and

ineffective i laid aside the things of the flesh and are

expecting awesome things because i am no longer double minded

God can use me more effectively.Dying to self is the key to

being more than a conqueror and having the victory in ones

christian walk i desire to see God touch lives around me

starting with my family.For we no longer walk in the natural

man but according to the supernatural{jesus}that is

powerful.regards brentnz

I love the books by Hannah Whitall Smith, especially the one titled The God of All Comfort. If you like Chip Brogden, I think you will like Hannah.

Catherine, I appreciated what you shared. One thing I have come to experience is that I can’t do the dying myself. There is nothing in ME that wants to die or to even be willing to die. Jesus has to do it ALL! I don’t know the depths of that yet, but I know that if I have my part in anything, there is that little bit of performance left, even if it seems “good”. Jesus will have no part of the flesh, the bad or the good!

This really is the crux of the gospel, if I die, I will live!!! I’m clearing out my closet, I’m trashing the pretentious emails, I’m focusing on one thing – taking up my cross daily & following after my Beloved – He will be my portion!!!

Thankyou Chip
Bless you all
Humbly in Jesus

So true and well said joanie.
Psalm 55: 12-14..For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has magnified himself against me; Then I could hide from him. But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in the throng.

One thing I do now is: I have turned my eyes away from what is ‘wrong’ with the ‘church’ and towards Christ. We look and say how the ‘church’ has failed or how the ‘church’ is deficient, when it is the individual – when it is me.

So often we think and/or believe when we accept Christ that somehow we have died to self, if only in principle. I know I have not completely died to self, but I also know that daily I die. My thought has been why is it ‘harder’ for us in these days to completely embrace the Cross. I think of the early believers, the persecutions they went through and yet they freely and completely embraced Christ even unto physical death.

As I read the snippet published today in The Infinite Supply, I was caught on the phrase, ‘salvation as preached today results not in death, but in “swooning”‘ I’ve seen so many people ‘slain the Spirit’ who have not truly died, but have merely swooned–in fact, I’m sure that was my experience. It truly had nothing to do with dying daily or with taking up the Cross. That was a whole ‘nother experience.

Madonna, I have a similar experience but with my 40 year old son. He completely cut me off for 8 years. I was devastated most days. I couldn’t understand why or how this could happen.
I asked the Lord to just give me the knowledge that he was o.k. The Lord answered that.
Then one day my son appeared. At first it looked like things would be different, but they weren’t. This went on for a couple of years.
Today, I am cut off again.
As I look over the whole picture, I realize that I took everything into my own hands. I was not willing to die.
Dieing is now harder but easier as I realize that it is in His hands.
I jumped ahead and gave no consideration to what God was doing.
So yes, it’s His timing.
We never give up our Motherly nuturing…We build it up. Their are plenty of children who need it. Look around and see.
I now have no expectations.
Do I die daily, probably not. I long for that though. As I read this article, I yearned to know what that feels like. I know something is happening inside and I now have some knowledge and the key is surrendering it all over to Him…Everything, including my Son. Dieing to live!!
