INTRODUCING… THE WORD & THE SPIRIT

I

Welcome!

I’d like to introduce myself and tell you why I’ve launched this site – as well as what you can expect to find here.

My name is Tony Kostas. I have known God and walked with Him since 1959 when, as a 17-year-old, I first opened my heart to Jesus. He transformed my life then …and He has been transforming it ever since.

As I discovered what it was to live for God, I also became aware that He had called me to represent Him in this world. That God-given calling has defined my life right up to the present time. Throughout the years, He has led me, spoken to me and given me the immense privilege of representing Him to many people in many places and situations.*

You were created by God, for God, and His desire is to free you from all restraints and limitations, so that you can live in a uniquely personal love relationship with Him in this world.

Now, through this site, I have the privilege of expressing Him and His heart’s desire to many more who are hungering and thirsting for Him …and who want to live for Him without limitations. In doing this, I am not only expressing the desire of God’s heart but also my own. For not only do I know Him, but I also love Him with all my heart, mind, soul and strength – and He longs for you to love Him like that too.

My God is not the god of some religious system, nor of any other philosophy. He does not exist in doctrine or in theory. He is the Living God, the Creator of the Universe, who longs to dwell in the hearts of His people. In love, He gave His precious Son Jesus – not only so you can have eternal life, but also that you may experience “the glorious freedom of the children of God,” …here and now.

In fact, if there is one word that embodies what is on my heart as I begin writing to you here, it is that word: ‘freedom’.  Not any freedom – but the freedom promised by Jesus when He said: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

You were created by God, for God, and His desire is to free you from all restraints and limitations, so that you can live in a uniquely personal love relationship with Him in this world.

If that is your desire too, then I invite you to come here often, and to open your heart as you read.  For everything I freely give you here will always be what I, in turn, have freely received from God.

I invite you to now read my first message: The Truth and the Facts.

*If you would like to know more in that regard, please go to www.outreach.net where you can read some of my writings, discover more about my early life and read about Outreach International which I founded in 1967. You can also download my recent book “Led Into Love” .
