Are We Really Counting On God?

Just sitting here listening to a song by Desperation Band.  It's called "Counting on God".  Well this is about the 5th time I've listened to it this morning.  I want to count on God! Put all my faith and trust in Him and Him alone!  Sometimes the little things are what get us.  Maybe we don't have a lot of gas or gas money but the Lord is speaking to our heart about doing a visitation with someone.  We might not know what the need is, but for some reason the Lord wants us to say something.  Sometimes I find myself looking to MYSELF to get me through, when all the Lord wants is for ME to fully step out in faith, to fully trust in His ability to know what I need and to provide all those needs according to His riches in glory!!! 

So often I pray the Lord give me word, knowledge, and wisdom.  It amazes me how He knows just what we need to know and hear and when we needs to know and hear it!  He has been speaking to my heart about overcoming today.  I feel like it's mostly about overcoming myself.  That He wants me to get over myself and trust Him in and for all things.  Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.  Lord mold me and make me what YOU want me to be!  What do you need to overcome?  He overcame the world so we could be overcomers!

The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

T hrough a season of heartache, mistakes, transition, and loss it has been more than difficult to focus on the Kingdom. When I prayed at the beginning of the year for what God had for me to do this year He gave me Matthew 6:33. Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. I was supposed to focus on the Kingdom. It has been difficult with all the distractions, but I know it was exactly because of those distractions and road blocks that God made sure I was trying to focus on the Kingdom. It has been next to impossible to focus, but His word has been a constant reminder. A reminder that I'm not walking alone, but He is here with me. I lost my best friend of 20 years July 10th. It's been less than three weeks. My heart is more than broken, if that is even possible. Teri was strong, but compassionate. Straight forward and honest. If she loved you, she loved you with all she was and no one ...

His Grace is Enough

So a friend of mine and I were talking one day as we ran into each other at the store.  She was a little upset about some recent events in her home.  During the course of our conversation....somehow it strangely came around to God's grace.  She admitted to me that she really didn't understand what that meant exactly.  I had to admit at one time as a  new Christian I also really understand what His "grace" was either.  I told her what I knew to let her digest that, but told her I would email her some information after I did some study.  I found this short couple of statements via http://www.acts17-11.com/mercy.html. Mercy--not getting what you do deserve / withheld punishment Grace--getting what you don't deserve / unmerited favor Ephesians 2:4-10 4  But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5  that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s gra...

The Journey of Paul

I have been reading a lot about the life of Paul this week. Wow...what a man that loved the Lord.  So much can be taken from his story.  That no matter what we have done in our life, we have a forgiving God that not only forgave, but USED Paul MIGHTILY!  So exciting to know that we too can be used MIGHTILY! I'm also struck by the fact that no matter what Paul KNEW was ahead of him, he pressed forward for the cause of Christ.  He wasn't ashamed!  I want to be a modern day Paul.  A world changer. How about you?
