Surrendering to the Mind of Christ by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 19, 2012 at 11:25 am By editorconvergingzone

The keys to abundant life are found through our intention of pursuing Christ and the Kingdom of God. To know His ways, His love for us, and His thoughts for us to live abundantly in Him. This is how we must think. The path illuminates for us as we surrender. If we do not surrender to God within, we are often powerless, and it allows for everything around us to influence us. We will always do best by filling our... Read more

All Warriors are Anti-Religion by Graham Cooke

Last updated on: September 14, 2012 at 6:25 pm By editorconvergingzone

an excerpt from “Coming Into Alignment” Heaven will always confront man-made spirituality. The best place for the enemy to hide is always in the guise of something spiritual. He masquerades as an angel of light. As we saw in the time of Jesus, He was constantly opposed by religious people who were fronting a system that they themselves had developed over many years. In one confrontation with Jesus, He spoke to them about the fact that they “transgressed the commandments... Read more

God Does Not Want Us to Be Judgmental by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: September 11, 2012 at 1:14 pm By editorconvergingzone

A religion without love is an abomination to God. The church needs to learn that God desires love and compassion, not merely an adherence to ritual and sacrifice. Thus, Jesus said His Father’s house would be a “house of prayer for all nations” (Mark 11:17). True prayer is born of love and comes in the midst of sin and need. It comes not to condemn, but to cover. All nations sin. All cultures have seasons of moral decline and spiritual... Read more

Releasing Wisdom and Creativity Through Your Life by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 10, 2012 at 11:11 am By editorconvergingzone

God had you in his mind well before the earth got its start. He was celebrating who you would become in Him before any mountains were formed or rivers were flowing. You are loved by God and destined to live a life of wisdom and creativity. Wisdom and creativity are inseparable, in fact, creativity is a manifestation of wisdom in the context of excellence and integrity. Wisdom is personified in Christ, and the companion of God in the creation of... Read more

Faith Without Humility is Going the Wrong Way by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: September 6, 2012 at 11:33 am By editorconvergingzone

One of the greatest indicators of spiritual maturity is to realize that there are things that you just do not know. It is the understanding that the more you learn of God, the greater His majesty and mystery becomes. People living in the divine ways of the Spirit are always humble and forever beginners. Those who are pride filled “know it alls”, always right and never wrong, are far from the heart of God. If you are not humble, one... Read more

Overcoming Our Presuppositions by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm By editorconvergingzone

Locked and loaded in our presuppositions can cut off meaningful conversations, relationships, and truths that might be discovered through the perspectives of others. The suppositional truth we have adopted may not be absolute truth and if we become constant learners, we will evolve towards greater truth and understanding of God, ourselves, and the world around us. We must be willing to challenge our belief systems and allow for the Spirit of God to sweep away the false from our minds... Read more

Experiential Truth Ignites the Power Within by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 29, 2012 at 9:05 am By editorconvergingzone

The Divine power of God is available to those who are in absolute oneness with God. Such power unleashed upon everyday life around the world is largely unknown by the world systems. This knowledge of God can only come through revelation. Many fail to see the practical dynamics of the Kingdom of God and the power of personal presence in any context or circumstance. Experiential truth is far more important than the knowledge of the truth, and it often comes... Read more

Who Are They Anyway? by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: August 25, 2012 at 1:29 pm By editorconvergingzone

We must not rely on the things that “They” say! And who are “They” anyway? So much of our lives, our choices, and our world-views are being shaped by others. The systems of this world, religion, politicians, and the media, are all trying to bend our mind to their way of thinking and their way of life. They tell us to, “Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, fight fight fight!” No wonder why there... Read more

Resting in God by Graham Cooke

Last updated on: August 21, 2012 at 9:15 pm By editorconvergingzone

What you have to focus on now is the incomparable love of God for you. Right now, where you are, He adores you. He couldn’t love you any more than He loves you at this moment. This is the thing that He wants to plant in your heart: “I love you, I’ve always loved you, and I always will love you. I love you one hundred percent, right now. Be at peace.” There is no good time to learn about... Read more
