In Spiritual formation we are aiming at a character and life that is so shaped that the deeds of Christ routinely and easily come from what is inside.
Dallas Willard
God has yet to bless anyone except where they actually are, and if we faithlessly discard situation after situation, moment after moment, as not being right, we will simply have no place to receive his kingdom into our life.
Dallas Willard
He [Peter after the resurrection] now understood that he and the church were to exercise a transcendent power that did not depend upon having a kingdom or government in any human sense, for it was literally a God government in which they were participants (Acts 1:6-8).
Dallas Willard
Your mind will really talk to you when you begin to deny fulfillment to your desires, and you will find how subtle and shameless it is.
Dallas Willard
If we do not make formation in Christ the priority, then we're just going to keep on producing Christians that are indistinguishable in their character from many non-Christians.
Dallas Willard
And God has set up prayer in such a way that, if you want to explain it away, you can. That's the human mind. God set it up like that for a reason, which is this: God ordained that people should be governed in the end by what they want.
Dallas Willard
