"We wrongly define what being spiritual is- what is the goal of the Christian life?
Here's what a spiritual person is, this is our goal:
Someone that's poor in spirit. That mourns. That's weak. Hungers and thirst for righteousness. That's merciful. That's pure in heart. That's a peacemaker. That has joy when there is persecution. They are the salt and light of the earth. Devoid of anger. Say no contentious words. Holds nothing against another. They have the spirit of agreement in truth, speech and attitude. They are right in Him. They turn the other cheek. They go the second mile. They love an enemy. They pray for those that persecute them. That is the Christian life. And that is the life of Christ. Matthew 5-7."
Mike Wells, Keeping the Focus audio
"In lesser time God used greater men. But in this greater time God uses lesser men. This is our day. The day of the lesser man. The one's He has been preparing in private. The great men are gone and the one that no one thought God would use- He is using."
A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!
