Dallas Willard
Image
Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action.

Dallas Willard
Image
Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life. Confidence in him leads us today, as in other times, to become his apprentices in eternal living. Those who come though me will be safe, he said. They will go in and out and find all they need. I have come into their world that they may have life, and life to the fullest
