We have a purpose, an assignment, and a God-given dream. There is no chance of success if we think we can reach our goals by ourselves. When problems crop up, we need to let God deal with those people and get out of the flesh. God can do for…
Faith is not supposed to be a fight, but it can be within our minds. We are supposed to become like children (Matthew 18:3) and to have the faith of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20) yet so often we don’t. We get so focused on our circumstances that we begin…
All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are used to overcome obstacles between point A and point B. I drove my one-terrain vehicle (a sedan) through a small amount of water. There was a warning of flash floods, but I blew it off not thinking that it applied to me. I suffered the…
Some people have to make lists in order to keep track of things. Other people use sticky notes, and others use reminders on their phone. Peter and Paul wrote down what God told them. What if they had just thought hey that’s great and DIDN’T WRITE IT DOWN? Well, we’d…
We struggle to trust God to provide the means to pay our light bill or to fix our car. He uses volcanoes to create islands through eruptions under the surface. He is never late, and if he were early we wouldn’t need faith. We may not be doing everything right,…
If we don’t stick out neck out we will never get ahead. Are we going to stay focused on the past and go backwards? Or are we going to stay in place where it feels safe? In both cases, we starve and die emotionally, spiritually, financially, and relationally. We…
When I share Jesus, it’s just through conversation and stories that make people like me. Then I share what Jesus has done in my life. The Bible says that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. (2…
If we know how to talk to people and make them feel at ease, then we have what it takes. If we can share our story and share what God has done in and for us without trying to make a hard sell, then we have what it takes. People…
If God had told me there were 27 things I had to change before I could come to him then I would have quit that night. As a follower of Christ, we are to lead people to him through our example. Not because we are perfect, but by showing how…
We are surprised when we come under attack. The devil has more faith in us than we do because he can see our potential. He can see our light and he knows what we will accomplish if he doesn’t try to trip us up by placing obstacles in our path….
Christians can’t be demon possessed, but they CAN be demon oppressed. When we put on a coat, and it just hangs on us, that is similar to what it is like to be demon oppressed. It weighs that person down in their vulnerable areas. The spirit of infirmity is in…
When you were a kid, if you had a tough childhood and some bad stuff happened to you, it happened because the enemy saw the light in you. It’s about the enemy using people to do bad things to us in order to trip us up to keep us from…
