John 15 continues at verse 9. See John 15 Part 1 and John 15 Part 2 God wants me to reveal Him amid adversity. I do works because of my faith, not to get faith. I do things with Jesus as a result of my relationship, not to get my relationship. My works show [...]
More on John 15. Continued from previous Neil's Minutes. I do works NOT to establish intimacy. But the reality is I do works because I'm a part of intimacy. I'm a part of Him. Obedience brings fruit and deliverance. Live in His presence so you can be His presence in the world. [...]
Neil emphasizes the importance of abiding in Christ to bear fruit as true disciples. He discusses how the relationship between believers and Jesus is akin to that of branches to a vine, highlighting that true love, obedience, and connection to God are essential for spiritual growth. Obedience to God’s commandments, particularly the command to [...]
"...upholding all things by the word of His power." See Hebrews 1:1-6. Everything starts with speaking. God spoke, and there was. How many of God's commands, promises, and provisions do we need to ignore in order to stay in our comfort zones? Compulsive obedience is a part of every relationship. How can I be [...]
Holy Frustration Recognizing that the frustration you're dealing with came from God. He's causing frustration because there is something He wants you to see.

What is God's creation saying to you today? Because of creation, we should know that He is God. There is peace and rest in His creation. His voice is heard in creation. What if I could just trust Him with my life and that God is in all that I do? That God is [...]
"If only Jesus and Paul would have had our present methods, curriculum, and our agendas to use in our discipleship they probably would have been more effective in sharing the gospel and reaching the world in their day, but alas, they only had the name of Jesus, intimacy with Him, and Holy Spirit to [...]
Neal is sharing from Norway about a conversation He had with the Lord during and after a dream. If what you do in the spiritual realm is not affecting the natural realm, why do you call it God? If what you do in the supernatural arena does not affect the natural arena, why do [...]
I place my people in the midst of adversity to bring My presence. Adversity in the world is the place God wants us to live. He wants to bring His presence into chaos. In the midst of adversities, I have had this incredible peace that God has everything under control. All I need to [...]
Christians still believe that if they pray, it equals obedience. With every breath be aware of God's presence - communion with the Lord. Prayer is simply the relationship.
