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)

Listen Up

    Is Jesus talking to you? I hear many people wonder how to hear God's voice and what to listen for. I want to offer a bit of wisdom on the topic. If you are wondering if God is talking to you, the answer is yes. We were designed to have a relationship with our creator and He is always there trying to get ahold of you if you'll only pay a little attention.     How does God communicate with us? The first way is through His word. Those are direct words from God Himself, written through His people. The Bible is our instruction manual to life. Whatever difficulty we may be facing, there is always an answer in scripture. God, having known every need before we ever needed it, has already provided an answer. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness (ESV)     The second way God communicates with us is by talking directly to us. Just like Adam and Eve spok...

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...

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...
