  • Successful people are usually more lively than those who are unsuccessful. The quickening of the spirit they feel comes out of their creativity, and success detaches them from the more rigid outlook on life - it puts them in the flow. So the shakers and movers, by their very nature, are moving faster, taking more risks, and investing more in the world than their less active counterparts.

    Stuart Wilde (1998). “The Trick to Money is Having Some”, p.52, Hay House, Inc
  • There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost.

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

  • We need a quickening of faith; faith in the power of the God of Pentecost to convict and convert three thousand in a day.

The second set of waves, a love revolution. The third set of waves will sweep across the world and release a worldwide revival. I believe that we can position ourselves to catch this incoming set of waves that will release to you a "quickening spirit" or "quickening anointing." It is being released - now. Catch the wave!

As we begin to be who we truly are, the world will be a better place.
