Salvation was never something you earned. The Holy Spirit is not something you achieve. And the life you’re called to build cannot be sustained by effort alone. Until you understand the difference between striving and receiving, you will continue to build from pressure instead of alignment. In this teaching, we walk through: – Why effort creates limitation in your spiritual life – The difference between obedience and earning – What it actually means to receive from God – How striving disconnects you from relationship – Biblical examples of receiving vs. performing (Abraham, Mary, the prodigal son, the Pharisees) – How to identify where you’re still trying to earn what’s already been given This is not about doing less.
