Do What Jesus Did Quotes

“If I’m talking to prostitutes or a drunk on the streets, I ask the Father, “What’s Your heart for this person?” I often tell people going out to minister, “Dig for the gold, not the dirt.” Don’t try to give words revealing sin or failures. The dirt might impress people with my gift of the prophetic, but it doesn’t impact an individual’s life for the best—it just makes them feel exposed. Nobody who has a gold mine says, “Look at all the dirt I’ve found!” What I pull out of my pocket is all the gold nuggets I’ve found. Always protect people’s dignity.”

“Nothing is stronger in disarming the kingdom of darkness than love. Love is the thing Satan can’t stand. Love is the weapon of mass destruction. Satan is the one who heaps shame on us—he’s the accuser, and in our approach to people, we should never agree with what the accuser says about them. Satan is the one whispering in people’s ears, “God is repulsed by you.” God is saying, “I love you—I’m crazy about you! Come home to Me.”

“My belief is that one of the primary battles Satan wages is his attempt to keep us from a full revelation of that. Called the Accuser, he works to keep us in poverty when it comes to knowing God’s love and walking in the authority God has given us. Satan wants us to keep our prayers in survival mode, focused on begging God for small withdrawals to cover our basic sustenance. He doesn’t want us to realize that we’ve been entrusted with the Kingdom itself.”

“God’s style of revenge is to rescue the broken and then turn them into rescuers.”

“If we won’t do whatever we can, how can God do what we cannot—through us?”

“Grace is the power of God to do the will of God.”

“Jesus was the perfect model of what a life dependent on the Father looks like, yet we never see Jesus questioning God about His will to heal someone.”

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. —Helen Keller I”

“In Scripture, we never see Jesus turning away a request for healing or a request to raise the dead. In fact, He rebukes the people around Him for not asking for more of the things of the Spirit.”

“When we delight ourselves in obedience, we don’t get discouraged in the process. Our idea of success is the perfect healing, the clear prophetic word, the complete deliverance. The disciples rejoiced at seeing signs and wonders, but Jesus corrected them, saying no, instead, “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven” (Luke 10:20). Jesus says it’s more about our identity than the miraculous. God’s idea of success is our obedience. The results are for Him, not us.”

“We serve the one true God, and stepping out to do Kingdom things is like having a front row seat. It’s not that we have to be amazing; it’s that He is amazing. That’s the power of our testimony—that God would use broken, hurt, wounded, messed-up people like us. That’s part of the Gospel message.”
― Robby Dawkins, Do What Jesus Did: A Real-Life Field Guide to Healing the Sick, Routing Demons and Changing Lives Forever

“As Christians we believe in the miracles of Jesus, but do we actually believe God will be in us in the same way? Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father” (John 14:12 NLT). Sometimes we act as though Christ has set an unattainable bar that we must meekly edge toward from a million miles away. “But He’s Jesus,” we offer lamely.”

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. —Martin Luther King Jr.”

“As I said, healing involves a spiritual battle, so don’t give up. Doubts, fears, uncertainties and mysteries are a normal part of the Christian life. It’s part of the tension of the Kingdom, which is “here, but not yet.” We can’t allow things we don’t know or understand to hold us back or rob us of the wonderful things God is doing.”

“The first person in my line seemed to anticipate a fight. She brazenly looked at me and the big cross on my shirt and said, “I’m a witch.” I believed her. She was dressed in layers upon layers of black, with sleeves kind of coming to dripping points. There was a big pentagram on her chest. I smiled and asked her, “Would you like for me to pray for you?” She sort of raised her eyebrows and repeated, “But I’m a witch.” “I would love to pray for you,” I told her. She looked at me, puzzled this time. “You’re not afraid?” I had to smile again. “No.” She asked me again, “You’re not afraid at all?” “No, no,” I told her. “I love to pray for witches. As a matter of fact, I’ve been asking the Lord to send some witches my way so I could pray for them.”

“We are willing to die for Jesus, but are we willing to look foolish for Him?”

“When you call on God for breakthrough, you’re calling on the beautiful, creative power of God that created the earth in Genesis. But you’re also calling on that destructive power of our great warrior King. The very power that we see destroying the kingdom of Satan in the book of Revelation breaks in on our present experience and brings change.”

“You can be confident that God is present in a situation simply because you are there and He is in you. And the power of the Kingdom can break in to any situation. When you are willing and available, God can do it through you. Here are some steps to take to get started living a risky but effective evangelistic lifestyle.”

“The Gospel is the proclaimed restoration of unity with a humble God who not only died to cleanse us from sins but rose again in power to live out His life through us and restore righteousness on the earth.”

“We prefer to think of Christianity as a religious philosophy rather than as a top-down revolution meant to turn the powers of darkness on their heads. We’re in a culture that trains us to live by feelings, emotions and our desires instead of living with real clarity. The presence of God is countercultural to the norms of discouragement, depression and fear that most people live with. As we press in to God, He renews our vision, our sense of freedom and our expectations. We experience joy that’s almost illogical and passion that fuels our resilience in all circumstances. Keep expecting big from heaven, and keep persevering in the grit of daily life. You’d be surprised how often the two coincide. Almost”

“We’re not invited to be like Christ so much as actually to be in Christ.”

“somehow the Western Church has fallen asleep to the reality of God’s power in our lives. Rather than ministering grace with authority and authentic love, which brings real transformation, we get caught up in rules and judgmentalism. Yet”

“So often we accommodate casual Christianity and then wonder why there’s not more power in our lives. God desires that we have more power, but we short-circuit it. We hold high ideals but see few results because we have an aversion to risk, and we develop our lifestyle around this aversion. We prefer to think of Christianity as a religious philosophy rather than as a top-down revolution meant to turn the powers of darkness on their heads. We’re in a culture that trains us to live by feelings, emotions and our desires instead of living with real clarity.”

“There’s not a situation in the world God can’t break in to. The missing ingredient isn’t God; He’s done His part. The missing ingredient is us. As I said earlier, when we walk into a situation as carriers of His presence and authority, God is there because we are there. He shows up because we’ve shown up and He’s in us—Christ in us, the hope of the world.”

“As we abide in Him and He abides in us, we should expect nothing less than the reordering of ourselves and our world according to this perfect love relationship. This is what it means to declare the Kingdom of God. When Jesus was asked, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor” (Luke”

“In Ephesians 4, Paul writes, “Some of you—the apostles, prophets and pastors among you—have been given special gifts to be like Jesus and continue His ministry on earth. The rest of you, your job is just to concentrate on being nice.” Actually, come to think of it, that’s not what Paul says at all. He writes that the whole role of leadership is to help equip and empower every believer to walk in the fullness of Christ’s ministry. He defines leaders this way: Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Ephesians 4:11–13 NLT, emphasis added”

“Healing isn’t at the center of what we do—God’s love is. We take authority over sickness, but what we’re ministering to people is the presence of God. There’s power in the presence of God for healing and deliverance, but our goal in everything is for people to encounter the reality of God’s presence and to experience His love for themselves.”
― Robby Dawkins, Do What Jesus Did: A Real-Life Field Guide to Healing the Sick, Routing Demons and Changing Lives Forever

“We know we’ve been told to heal the sick, even though we don’t yet see it happen all the time, every time. That’s part of what it means to live not by what we see, but by what we believe. As Alan Hirsch cleverly titled it, it’s a “Faith of Leap.”[1] Suffering will always be a part of the battle here on earth, but so will victory, so keep praying for people (see John 16:33; Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 1:5; 4:8–10; Philippians 1:29; James 5:10).”

“Powerful Love It’s important to realize that no matter what you’re saying or doing, whether you’re getting crystal-clear prophetic words or seeing legs grow out and blind eyes open, the most powerful thing you’re doing is ministering God’s love to people.”
― Robby Dawkins, Do What Jesus Did: A Real-Life Field Guide to Healing the Sick, Routing Demons and Changing Lives Forever

“Also, realize that we’re not perfect. There’s not a problem with that. God likes to use us anyway. Enjoy the adventure. We’re just called to love people. Whether sharing a spot-on prophetic word or simply asking someone about his or her day, we’re called to remain in God’s love and let His love remain in us. Keep the main thing the main thing.”
