Jotting down some random quotes from Living Water by Brother Yun. I must warn you that he is tough on the West- but I find myself with squished toes and nodding my head in agreement. Put on your steel-toed shoes and log off if you don't want to hear this... otherwise put on your sandals and join me...

"God does not expect us to argue with Him when He tells us to do something. He doesn't expect us to apply human logic to our circumstances. He simply expects us to obey and trust Him. I have found that whenever we step out in obedience to God's voice, miracles follow. If you trust in God's word, you will never regret it. Obedience allows you to operate despite seemingly impossible circumstances, because Jesus is more powerful than everything we can see or touch.

We need to realize that when God speaks to us, He is always right. He is not like a person who gets some things right and other things wrong. He is right 100% of the time and we should trust Him 100% of the time.

As long as you are looking for God to bless 'your' ministry, you are wasting your time. He only blesses His ministry, done His way, by His leading. When we finally reach the end of all our useless programs and give up in desperation, Jesus will be there to show us a better way - His way.

A church is meant to be a training center and command hub for war, not a social club for pleasantries and hypocrisy, where people give lip service to Christ while refusing to obey His commands. Not only does God want you to wake up, but He has a work for you to do.

When I'm in the West, I see all the mighty church buildings and all the expensive equipment, plush carpets and state-of-the-art sound systems. I can assure the Western church with absolute certainty that you don't need any more church buildings. Church buildings will never bring the revival you seek.

When God moves in the West, it seems you want to stop and enjoy His presence and blessings too long and build an altar to your experiences.

When God truly moves in your heart, you cannot remain silent.

True disciples are often misunderstood. They are viewed as unstable fanatics. Often the same governments that tolerate the existence of mere believers will stop at no end to completely eradicate any disciples from within their borders.

'Believers' try to follow God, but their prayers and commitment are clouded with indecisiveness. ... If they ever hear the King's call to go somewhere and do something for the sake of His kingdom, they feel they need extra encouragement before they can safely step out: 'First let me check with my spouse, my pastor, my boss and my in-laws to see if it's all right with them.'

'Disciples' have a different attitude. They beg God to give them just a little of His dynamite power. They pray, 'Oh God, if you will lend me just a little spiritual dynamite, I promise I will take it to the darkest area I can find, place it there and pray You will send Your fire from heaven to explode it." 

That I might be a disciple and not merely a believer... Lord give me just a little of your dynamite
