Collaboration is not about empire building, it\u2019s about the salvation of souls, the work of the Church. So naturally a lot of focus has been on evangelization.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, evangelization is spreading the \u201cgood news\u201d. The victory is ours; liberation from captivity, victory over death, over sin, over defeat and victory over the trappings of this world. Christ is bigger than the cross.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s travel from transcendental to practical. From theory to practice without co-opting, compromising and corrupting what is good, beautiful and true. Three easy steps. First, put God first. Maintain a high meditative state of mind, living in the presence of the Lord. Second, be a saint. Realize your life is not your own. Our purpose is to draw faithfulness out of everyone, not pump religion into them. And thirdly, be intuitive. We are all hard wired for God.<\/p>\n<p>The love, grace and mercies of the Lord are given by Him to us in their fullness. As it is with Faith; a gift. There will never be any more or any less of Him or His timeless truths in us. So what is innate in us is inherited as intuition. We know what we know.
