If you are a ‘Born-Again’ Believer in Jesus Christ – YOU’RE STORY MATTERS! If you have received God’s gift of GRACE – You DO have something to say! Because of your SALVATION MOMENT… you now carry within your life the POWER of THE SECOND GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD!
GRACE... When we are on the receiving end - it is refreshing! When it is required of us - it is often disturbing! But when it's correctly applied - it seems to solve just about everything!
Many of us are “hard of thanking”, we have a high gratitude threshold it takes epic gifts before we can even muster a thanks. People like this miss mountains of blessings and opportunities to delight in what God has done. Gratitude is viewing life as a gift; it frees us from the prison of self pre-occupation.
It all happened in a moment - a most remarkable moment... GOD CAME NEAR! And if He is who He says He is - there is no TRUTH worth BELIEVING more!
God doesn't want to see your 'BUT!' He sent Jesus to the earth for your 'BUT!' Jesus died on a Cross for your 'BUT!' Jesus rose from the grave for your 'BUT!' And Jesus REIGNS OVER YOUR 'BUT!' Don't let your 'BUT' get in the way of GOD MOVING (it) in a BIG WAY!
Who really is your ENEMY? The Bible talks of one who has FALLEN from Heaven - 1 Peter 5:8-9… “Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” We must KNOW who he is - we must take his pursuit of us PERSONAL - and we must plan accordingly to RESIST him!
Whose words have fulfilled ancient prophecies, built true civilizations or comforted the lonely? Whose words have raised the dead, healed the sick and made blind men see? Whose words have laid foundations of hope, provided guidance for trials and communicated TRUTH and LIFE? John 6:63..."...The words I have SPOKEN to you are Spirit and they are LIFE!
