Expecting The Impossible

Sometimes life tends to produce one agonizing theme after another and, (if we are not careful), we will find ourselves doubting our hope in God and His promises. I urge you all individually to hold on to His promises. If you are finding it difficult to do this then you are in need of reading His Word more often because within it are His promises clearly pronounced. Here is what I can attest to:

• I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread
• Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
• My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory
• Ask and it shall be given
• You have not because you ask not
• Men, (and women), should always pray 
• Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty

  Can you add your own favorite passages to these? I'm sure that you can. I am still hearing awesome reports from several of my friends who are seeing their lives transformed in miraculous ways before their very eyes. And these are not delusional reports because others around them, (many of them witnesses who were doubters and unbelievers), are seeing them as well. If we sow sparingly we shall reap sparingly. In other words; if you continue to believe for a skateboard instead of a Cadillac you will continue to receive a skateboard.  How long have you professed to being a Child of the King? Well, it's about time you started living as a King's Kid should.  And I am not simply referring to material wealth and possessions because I sincerely believe that is secondary when God refers to "blessings".

  Don't beat yourself up if you have temporarily lost sight of these truths. I, like so many of you, have gotten off track and lost my own compass because of distractions and situations in my life. As the disciple Peter, we do well walking on the water as long as our eyes are fixed on Jesus. It is when we begin to focus on the tempestuous waves around us that we began to sink beneath the surface. It is also when we began to try and equate man's logic with the supernatural power of God and start to disbelieve our miracle because man's logic says that walking on water is utterly impossible! But we as true believers know that with God all things are possible.

  Today I am encouraged in a mighty way.  I have just begun to knock down the walls that stand between me and my goals, my prize and my victory. Oh, yes, I know the enemy is coming but I run towards him with the power of the Lord in my body just as David ran towards Goliath with his rock in his sling.  I want you to win. God wants you to win. I want you to love like God intended you to love because the world says this type of love no longer exists. I want you to be strong and courageous in spite of what life throws at you because your strength is needed in this weak world. Your faith is considered obsolete by those who favor technology and science over our God.  Let us show the world that He is alive and that He lives through us and in us. This is still an age of miracles.

God bless.
