She explains that ministry is rooted in our relationship with God, while the overflow of that relationship is what we impart to others. Carrie encourages us not to confuse these concepts to prevent burnout. Furthermore, she describes divine order as a place of complete surrender, emphasizing that the Lord always has a better plan than our own, while disclosing how understanding God’s love for us helps us recognize our identity in Him and empowers us to operate in His authority.

Interestingly, Carrie notes that discipline fuels obedience, warning that delayed obedience is still disobedience. She explains that grace holds authority in power, clarifying that grace is not a license to act however we want with the expectation that God will overlook our actions. Instead, it’s about transforming our negative behaviors and recognizing that we can grow beyond our limitations.

Additionally, she asserts that divine order is the consistent rhythm of believing that life is not solely about us, but about God. She clarifies that when we rely on our own understanding, we are bound to fail, as that is a fallen way of living. Carrie urges us to keep our hearts aligned and depend on God consistently, rather than relying on past revelations and experiences.
