<p>For Jesus to become the one person who has supreme&nbsp;authority over our life (being) and our lives (behaviors) we must surrender our wills to Him which begins with our intention to commit fully to a thoughtful plan built in accord with the details that come from Jesus teaching.</p>

<p>God's powerful, effectual, authoritative word is a means of&nbsp;lasting change to all who submit to its teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.</p>

<p>Christ suffered and died to prove and to show us His love&nbsp;and grace so that we might walk with Him and learn about it in His Father’s Kingdom.</p>

<p>The Holy Spirit leads us from death to life as we come to&nbsp;know God's love as His children.</p>

<p>The Holy Spirit leads us into the ways of God through our&nbsp;response to him in the ordinary moments of life. We need to receive, rest, and rejoice in every circumstance (trials) and stop rejecting, running from, or reinterpreting them so we can be made mature in Christ.</p>

<p>The path to Spiritual transformation and growth requires&nbsp;disciplined effort through the exercise of the spiritual disciplines under the direction of God's word and will and the Holy Spirit.</p>

<p>When we enter into Solitude we begin to detangle our&nbsp;lives from the world’s control of our souls and begin to experience the freedom Jesus knew perfectly.</p>

<p>The discipline of silence requires us to place our bodies in the&nbsp;“silent” places, practicing the action of not speaking so we become people who are free from our dependence on its presence in our lives.</p>

<p>When we accept the gift of Sabbath and keep it holy, we will&nbsp;be consecrated by God for God's work in our daily lives.</p>

<p>Our faith grows stronger as it is expressed in spiritual&nbsp;feasting on Jesus knowing it leads us to being more fully satisfied in Him and the power of all other satisfactions are displaced from their controlling power of our lives.</p>
