Many believers are asking God to do what He already told THEM to do. “Lord, send Your Spirit! Lord, send your angels to save my family! Lord, send…” But Jesus told us in the gospels, “As I have been sent so I send YOU….Go into all the world and preach the gospel” (John 20:21; Mark 16:15 author’s emphasis).
When you go outside the church walls with a clear proclamation of the gospel, the devil’s not going to roll over and say, “Welcome! Have your way!” But we know that the God we serve is bigger, He is far greater, He is mighty, and HE IS ALIVE IN US!
In Jesus’ parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), the ruler over the servants expected increase, so he took the money from the non-producer and gave it to the producer. This might change your thinking about staying in a welfare system. Apparently God, who is love, does not expect His people to live a lifestyle that is content to rely on free handouts!
If you are depressed—take hope in God! He promises to strengthen you with His righteous right arm! If you are jobless—dare to declare that He WILL connect you with the job you require! If you are in debt—dare to declare you are debt free! Trust Him to guide you to the victories you need!
When Jesus was training His followers He sent them out to the villages, towns and cities, telling them to take no extra clothing, money or food. Go and preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick, demonstrating God’s plan and God’s love (Luke 10:1-9, author’s paraphrase). They obeyed, and discovered that God could be trusted to take care of them. I believe that when we practice His simple “road rules” in our own lives, we will always see His hand of provision!
I am praying for our friends and partners, that you may know the plan that the Lord has set forth for your life. This knowledge will generate an inner strength, enabling you to face life each day with an “all things are possible” attitude. We pray that you may have His wisdom and His understanding for all of life’s decisions!
The practice of medicine is a blessing of the Lord given to us by God, and we encourage you to pray for your doctor. Pray that he or she would have wisdom in working with you, but remember, we are not to accept the doctor’s report as the final report. Instead, believe the Word of God that proclaims, “By His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5)!
What you think is a seed. What you believe is a seed.
What you say is a seed. Understanding this truth removes the foundation for failure in your life and replaces it with hope! We can no longer point the finger of blame for our situations at what the government is doing or not doing for us. We can’t blame our bad circumstances on a lousy economy, bad parents, bad friends, or a bad environment. The future is what we sow for!
God has more than enough healing, peace, and finances for anyone seeking them. He is NOT limited, and we will certainly NEVER break the bank of heaven!
You have the power in your mouth through the great confession of your Christianity! It says that God is alive, Jesus is your healer, ALL things are possible, and what people see now is not the reality of where they will see you later on!
