The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

People who are obsessed are raw with God they do not attempt to mask the ugliness of their sins or their failures. Obsessed people don't put it on for God He is their safe place, where they can be at peace.

If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.

A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'

Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

I want to live so that I am truly submitted to the Spirit's leading on a daily basis. Christ said its better for us that the Spirit came and I want to live like that is true. I don't want to keep crawling when I have the ability to fly.

Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?

A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the sin of pride is always a battle. Obsessed people know that you can never be humble enough, and so they seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known (Mt 5:16).

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.
