No matter what you are up against…whether it be an emotional, spiritual or physical enemy. Whether it’s a relationship, your health, finances or maybe there’s just a battle going on in your mind…
Stand boldly in your Father’s presence, cry out to Him in your distress and hear your Savior say to you, “My beloved, do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but Mine. Where I AM, there you are. So see it as a finished work and Rest!”
“Life from the Center is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is simple. It is serene. It is amazing. It is triumphant. It is radiant. It takes no time, but it occupies all our time. And it makes our life programs new and overcoming. We need not get frantic. He is at the helm. And when our little day is done we lie down quietly in peace, for all is well.” -Thomas Kelly
This is one of my (many) favorite quotes. Life from The Center simply put is living life from the Presence of Jesus. Unhurried; without frantic busyness, frenzied days, panic or the need to have control.
We can truly become an overly busy people. Our natural propensity is towards “doing” because it’s within our flesh the law rages on seeking still to get us to do or perform for God in an exhausting effort to please Him.
We still think that somehow DO=God loving us. It’s a hellish state to live from. (He loves because it’s Who He Is). There’s a better Way.
The keys of authority over every form of death that kept you down, that tries to keep you down, were gifted to the prince of lies by the first Adam (man) in the first garden.

But while in the garden tomb, The Second Adam, (The Son of Man) took back the keys of the dominion of the realm of death and hell.

By entering into death Himself, Jesus annihilated the effects of the accuser who once held that power (Hebrews 2:14).
