I don't understand the question. 

(i) When you say 'source' to what exactly are you referring? 

(ii) How would you define 'living the life of faith'? 

(iii) how are you using the word 'integrity'?

You define the source -- after all that is all that matters in your own personal experience.

Faith - living the life of Hebrews 11:1

Imagine how integrity is used.

It was your question, I am interested in what you meant not what I think you mean. 

In regards to my personal experience being all that matters, are we not dealing objective truth and not merely experience when it comes to the christian life? It seesm to me that you are saying is there some higher plateau of Christian experience that can be attained in this life, is that right?

Faith - living the life of Hebrews 11:1

Hebrews 11:1 says Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That defines what faith is, but it does not define what 'the life of faith is.' The implication from your question appears to me to be is that you mean something more then ordinary christian experience

Imagine how integrity is used.

Well it could being used in more then one way, integrity might refer to internal coherence or it might refer to honesty or it might refer to necessity - all would fit within the context of your question - know I assume you have in mind the the sense of honesty and trustworthiness because that makes the most sense -

Now, assuming I have got my definitions correct the answer to your question is 'no'. let me give my reason for that answer. There are no further plateaus of spirituality to experienced as a believer in this life one is either a believer or one is not. However, every Christian can only persevere in their faith through a reliance on God, and the means he provides, which include scripture, but also include the body of believers that we are not to forsake (Heb 10:25), participation at the Lord's table, prayer etc - the Christian that forsakes these things  will not be growing and maturing.  We are to work out our salvation in fear and trembling after all.

Each of us has a promised land for our lives. God's promises are key to us entering into the vision that God has given us. If you are in a desert God is ready to take you out -- time to move on from eating manna to eating the food that God freely gives in the promised land of your DESTINY!

If we want to be co-laborers with Jesus, fulfilling His PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE, we must step out of the comfort zone and move into the life of faith where our only source is the invisible God and the integrity of His word. He said we cannot be His disciples if we don't do this.

"If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." - Luke 9:23

Do we? Or is there one promised land for the people of God? 

It's all very motivational and feel good, but is it biblical?

2.Timothy 1:9 - "Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from al eternity."

Ephesians 4:1 - "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,"

it occurs to me that the only way you can be living your best life now, 
is if you are on your way to hell. 

i have something to look forward too, on the other hand. 

has that occurred to you?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
