Warriors of God Arise! by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 27, 2012 at 12:26 pm By editorconvergingzone

The warrior of God has self-confidence beyond that of the average man. The self-confidence is in their identity as a Son of God and in their revelation of oneness with God. It becomes more than just a self-confidence, but truly is a God-confidence fusion of the now, and of all things eternal. The warrior of God is confident in the “all things are possible” with God, but humble enough to know that without God, there is no power, there is... Read more

A Door Standing Open by Greg Austin

Last updated on: February 25, 2012 at 6:39 pm By gaustin

Allow me for a moment to challenge your perspective, your concept, your understanding of the word “church.” For most people, “church” has come to mean a building, a denomination, or a program. I believe God has something else, something greater in mind when He uses the word. A while back God began to speak to me about changes that the church needed to make if His followers were to make a significant difference in the world around us. As my... Read more

Live For Today With No Worries For Tomorrow by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 25, 2012 at 1:01 pm By editorconvergingzone

The more we focus on our past or future the less we focus on our life today. God desires for us to live in authentically for every moment in life. The past does not define who we are, God defines who we are, and who we are becoming. What we do or become in the future is the convergence God within, and our willingness to engage with His presence each day toward our destiny. We do not need to hold... Read more

Prayer Changed the Mind of God by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: February 25, 2012 at 1:18 am By editorconvergingzone

(En Español) The visible glory of God descended, then manifested on the top of Mt. Sinai. As many as six million Israelites heard the audible voice of God speaking to them from the majestic fire. The entire nation quaked and trembled in holy fear. In response, Israel’s leaders begged Moses that no further words be spoken to them by God. Moses agreed, then turned and ascended the mountaintop and entered this frightening holy blaze where He remained for forty days.... Read more

No Disqualification by Dudley Hall

Last updated on: February 25, 2012 at 1:13 am By editorconvergingzone

Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Let no one disqualify you… Colossians 2:16-18 (ESV) Many contemporary Christians are living with a sense of disqualification. They are not confident in their approach to God nor in their use of the gifts they have been given.... Read more

Truth Awaits by Alan Smith

Last updated on: February 24, 2012 at 9:47 pm By editorconvergingzone

John 16:13: But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. Have you ever really wanted to know the truth? Perhaps the real question for all of us is can we really handle the truth when we hear it? The truth is we are scared of truth because truth speaks...

Fully Present in Your Present by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 24, 2012 at 2:31 pm By editorconvergingzone

Always pay attention to the present moment. There is no more important time in your life than living in your present moment, for it is your Presence filled “NOW.” Why resist what is happening today? And how productive would it be to turn our focus to the past or future and miss what God is doing right now? The past is the history of life, and the future is speculation, but real LIFE is happening at this very moment. Say... Read more

A Brand-less Move of God by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 23, 2012 at 4:36 pm By editorconvergingzone

I want to be part of a radical move of God and His agape love, and call it “nothing,” because once we have given a name to “Our” movement, we have just become exclusive. Exclusivity fueled by pride from those who have separated themselves from the nonconformists to their movement is often the very reason for their decline. From a God who Himself is Love, inclusivity of His love is the only answer for humanity. Jesus said, “You must love... Read more

Spirit That Happens to Have a Body by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 22, 2012 at 1:17 pm By editorconvergingzone

We must see ourselves more as a spirit in a body rather than a body that happens to have a spirit. The body will eventually give way, but it is the spirit that lives on. We must engage our eternal minds with the mind of God when setting goals for our lives. To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit our human spirit, while limiting our cooperation with the Spirit of God. Everyone has a spirit that... Read more

Unity Sees Brilliance in Diversity by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 21, 2012 at 11:10 am By editorconvergingzone

Look at creation and contemplate the glory of God and His message of unity in becoming one with Him as well as each other. For too long, we have been divided through the wrongful focus of our differences rather than coming together in the brilliance of our diversity. Supernatural fusion cannot be willed into being through the intentions and declarations of man. Divine unity can only be created through the presence and power of God within those who have surrendered... Read more
