"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
1 John 1:5
A. W. Tozer rightly believed that we tend "by a secret law of the soul" to gravitate toward and grow to resemble our mental image of God. Thus, Tozer was convinced that what comes to your mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you. High thoughts of God bring us into pure worship and a sanctified walk, while low thoughts of God defile our hearts and corrupt our walk. This website is dedicated to two great truths: God is great and God is good. Greatness and goodness. Goodness and greatness.What makes God great is what makes Him good. What makes God good is also what makes Him great.
What is the key to understanding God's goodness and greatness? Jesus Christ!Jesus is the revealed goodness and revealed greatness of God. Jesus is not good and great like God. Jesus is the actualgoodness and greatness of God.The essence and presence of God is only revealed in and through the life of Jesus Christ.This same life now indwells all who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. Thus, the goodness and greatness of Jesus resides with and in all Christians.
The core revelation of the website is this - - God didn’t create evil, God doesn’t use evil, and God won’t allow evil. God is good. Only good. Always good. His only connection with evil is to disallow it through the power of the cross. In fact, God has already disarmed and disallowed every form of evil. Why evil still occurs is due to man’s individual and corporate neglect of Jesus' so great a salvation. Jesus Christ is God’s perfect cure for evil, a cure which overcomes evil one way and one way only - - with good. Jesus, as God in the flesh, came to reveal the true nature of Godas being good, love, light, truth and Spirit. No Old Testament saint saw the perfect goodness of God. Only Jesus accurately reflected, and still reflects, the true nature of God.
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is
in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
John 1:18

DEVELOPING SAMSON-LIKE STRENGTH THROUGH DAILY
WORD CONFESSION
Lift Up Your Jawbone is an essential book for any serious believer. Along with my Bible and Arthur Burk's Blessing Your Spirit, this book has become my daily companion. Chapter 7 is without a doubt one of the most profound and accurate descriptions of the true Spirit-filled life that I have ever read. Besides being a gifted writer, Richard Murray brings a level of wisdom and insight to God's Word that I have seldom experienced. My ten-year-old son and I spend a half hour with this book every morning. This book has the potential to change your life! I give it my highest recommendation.

REVIEWS
I can honestly say that I've never read a book that offers in such simple terms the practical help that so many Christians are looking for in their daily life. Mr. Murray's use of allegory and illustration bring to life more difficult concepts and make them easy to understand and apply. This book is a must read for anyone interested in gaining victory in his/her daily life. I've read and re-read this book many times over the years and have given many copies to friends and family members. It is a true gem. Mr. Murray captures in this book what I believe to be one of the most powerful tools in the Christian faith and yet one of the most overlooked and under applied. Often overlooked because of it's simplicity.

I have found this book to be a profound source of spiritual support and guidance through the years. I was fortunate enough to get a copy of the Jawbone in it's pre-published format. Richard Murray takes us to the very person of Jesus Christ and reminds us through scripture of the provisions He has prepared for us in advance, over 2000 years ago. When my son left home for college, I was not sure that I would survive the loss, the worry, and the stress. The Word confessions in this book became a lifeline for me. I literally went from a state of high anxiety to blessed peace, in the knowledge that I can truly rest in the strength of our Father God and the gift of his Son. The Holy Spirit is active and operative in me because I have caught hold of the truth that Richard Murray awakens us to in his book, Lift Up Your Jawbone.

This book is like taking my daily vitamin in the Spirit. It is packed with an understanding of Gods Promises and what TRUE confession is.
With the understanding I have gained since reading this book and applying them daily, it sets my day up in that I am able to take on the challenges that we all face day in day out, but with a new perspective and strength to do all things with and thru the Lord. Particularly when I read chapter 7, it was like opening the eyes of my understanding to what prayer really is, understanding why the promises are so important for my life and how to read scripture. When I first read chapter 7, I felt like the Lord told me this was to date the most important thing that Richard had written and the most important thing I had ever read.
I encourage EVERY Christian, no matter where you are in your walk with the Lord - to read, read and then read this book again. It WILL bless you. -Lisa Brown
Meditating on the truths in this book is like unwrapping a precious gift, the kind of gift that keeps on giving. The main topic ofLift Up Your Jawbone is the richness and blessedness of true word confession, but there is also a surprise treasure in Chapter 7 that is changing my perspective about God's promises, and in turn I'm confessing His promises and believing them more gladly and boldly every day.
The treasure is about the finished work of the cross and what that means for us right now in our everyday circumstances. I've read other books about Christ's completed work or about the past tense of God's Word, however I closed those books and remained unchanged. The "always already" teaching about the Kingdom of God in Chapter 7 has brought about a breakthrough in my thinking, and a removal of thoughts that don't agree with God's promises is taking place. Every day I can't wait to live and walk in this new thinking and to let the glory of God be revealed.
I've learned that the author is working on his next book, The Jesus Mood. My spiritual walk with our living Lord Jesus Christ has been so heightened by Richard Murray's writings and teachings, I await his next book with great anticipation.
