…that person is like a tree
planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
(NIV Verse 3)
If that is your yearning, perhaps the ministry of Life As It Ought To Be can show you the path forward.
Beginning
Life As It Ought To Be began when a joyless, powerless, struggling pastor, late in life and ministry, stepped into a Spirit-produced gospel awakening. He went from joyless to joyful; from self-focused to other-focused; from slavery to freedom. This is Dennis’ story…
What is Life As It Ought To Be?
Life As It Ought To Be is stepping into the supernatural of God, seeing the unseen, hearing the unspoken, and knowing the unknowable. It is engaging the dark powers in the power of God. It is being aware of the presence of Christ in us, relying on the power of the Spirit within and through us, and pursuing the Father’s purpose for us. It is entering into the mystery of God. It is becoming part of God’s great story of conflict, suffering, abundance, and victory. It is the flourishing life God intends for us in this broken world.
There are the struggles of life, and there are the promises of God. But sometimes we are so focused on the struggles that we fail to experience the promises. Life As It Ought To Be seeks to help us step into the promises of God amid the struggles by serving as a catalyst for Spirit-produced gospel awakening.
Here is how Dennis explains Life As It Ought To Be.
The Gospel Way
Life As It Ought To Be is not a course or a class. It is a path, a gospel path — a gospel way. The gospel way is not an easy way, just a better way. It is the path toward Spirit-produced gospel awakening.
This video explains what it means to walk the gospel way.
