Greater is He

    Our God created the Heavens and the earth and everything in existence. He told the sun to shine. He designed and created humanity. He created it all from nothing and He alone rules over it all. So why do we get in our heads that anything could be impossible for Him? Why do we think that we could ever have a problem too big for our mighty God to handle? Why indeed. So today I challenge you to see the bigness of God.

Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (ESV)

   Sometimes our problems seem so big and impossible. And they are! For us. But we know that nothing is impossible for our God! Remember that truth and choose to live in it today. Remember that we live through His power and not our own. Remember that He has you right in His hands and He sees everything that is going on in your life-- each detail-- and He has not forgotten you.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (NKJV)


    I just want to encourage every one of you to choose to change your mentality and recognize the power and authority of Jesus' name. He has power of everything on heaven and earth. And we have access to that through Jesus' sacrifice! Start living in that today! Start believing He can work miracles! The God who made it all most certainly can handle any difficulty you face today. He is greater!

John 14:13-14 Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. (NASB)

Philippians 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name (NIV)

Colossians 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. (ESV)

Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. (ESV)

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. (NIV)

1 John 4:4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (ESV)

Taking the Lead

    When you are in a position of leadership your entire life becomes public. You have people looking up to you and down on you simultaneously. Your life is judged more harshly not only by those who you are leading, but by God. It's not something one should ask God for flippantly. That in mind, how do you view your own leaders? I would bet that the majority of us have complaints about them. So how do we deal with that Biblically?     First, we need to recognize that leadership in a church is God-appointed. God chooses who will lead the church for a specified season. Do you not think that He could take anyone out of a leadership position at any time if He so chose? The point is, we need to recognize Jesus' anointing and honor our leaders. We also need to judge less harshly those who are in those positions. What would the church see if your life was under the microscope? Have grace and compassion for those whose lives are constantly on display. One of the most import...

Dancing Through the Fire

     For a couple weeks now the Lord has been pressing this message on my heart. He revealed a flaw in my thinking I hadn't noticed. You see, when hard times come it's in my nature to duck and cover. I go into "survival mode" and I get tunnel vision. I only focus on getting through what's in front of me alive. But in doing so, not only do I miss a lot of opportunities, but I give in to the voice of fear in my life.     I know I don't speak only for myself when I say that God wants to us in our "every day lives." Not only at church or on a special mission trip, but in the trenches of the grocery store, the gym, work, etc. It is His will that every soul is saved and He wants us to go out into the world and win those hearts for Him. But when I put myself in survival mode, I block out all the opportunities God lays before me. When I numb myself with the routine of each passing day, week, and month, I miss out on sharing the one thing of eternal importa...

Jealous Eyes to Thankful Hearts

    When you love someone you want the best for them. You don't think about all the things they have and you don't, but you think of what you want to give to them. Likewise, it is hard to love someone when you are focused on wanting all their blessings. Jealousy is blinding. We cannot love with envy standing in the way.     Envy takes our eyes off of Jesus and the things He is doing and onto what He is not  seeming to do for us, personally. It is a dangerous trap to be in because you are blind to what He has given to you. He blesses and uses us all differently. Amazingly, we are each completely unique in Him. Don't let the enemy distract you with what you don't seem to have, but let Jesus show you what you do.     When we don't see what is around us we begin to lose our thankfulness. We are supposed to be living a lifestyle of thankfulness to Jesus and all the wonderful things He has done for us. We thank Him and we praise Him and let Him use us ac...
