“He replied, “Because your faith is much too small. What I’m about to tell you is true. If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is enough. You can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there.’ And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” —Matthew 17:20‭-‬21 (NIRV)

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” —2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)

“Crazy Faith” Devotional by Michael Todd - Day 4: “Imagine That”:

“If you can’t figure out what your first step of faith should be, use the amazing tool God has given you to walk in baby faith. It’s called your imagination.

Imagination is not mere child’s play; it is a powerful force given to us by our Creator. Its root word is image, and we are created in the image of God with the power to imagine what is not yet tangible but can be realized. That’s crazy! You may have stopped using your imagination because somebody said you need to grow up and start adulting, but I’m telling you, it’s time to revive it again. Imagination is way too powerful to be left sitting in the toy box.

You can be in a place that is the exact opposite of what you desire, then close your eyes and see yourself exactly where you want to be. (Go ahead—try it!)

You could be bedridden in a full body cast, but when you close your eyes, you can imagine yourself healed and walking again.

You and your kids could wake up in your one-bedroom apartment listening to water drip into a bucket under the most recent ceiling leak, but then you close your eyes and see yourself being handed the keys to your beautiful new four-bedroom, two-bath home in a safe, quiet neighborhood.

You could be at Christmas dinner sitting next to your drunk uncle with other family members arguing across the table, but then close your eyes and see a peaceful, joyful family get-together where everyone is showing each other love and sharing testimonies of God’s faithfulness.

You could even be in a jail cell, counting down the days until you’re able to hold your child again, but when you close your eyes, you’re at her seventh birthday party, snapping pics with glittery unicorns and princess tiaras.

Don’t belittle your imagination! It’s God given. It’s divine. Those daydreams could be God trying to show you a glimpse of the future that is possible for you if you would only believe Him enough to move toward it.

If you could change one relationship, one situation in your life, one part of your daily living, what would it be? Close your eyes and imagine. Then ask God to help shape your dreams into reality.”

"This Life" / "The Way"

“This Life” / “The Way”

When I was in college there was a cult pouring its poison into unsuspecting students who didn’t know their Bible. Truth is there were dozens of these cults stalking the spiritual lives of young impressionable students. The one that I am thinking of called itself “THE WAY”. They used biblical words, talked a lot about “Jesus” and offered a weekend class called “Power for Abundant Living” for…

Saturday Before Good Friday: Ten Days That Changed the World

Yesterday, we began a day-by-day look at the Passion Week, so our “week” is actually ten days, starting BEFORE Palm Sunday… Here are some observations about the Saturday before Good Friday, which would have been eight days before Easter. It is a quiet Saturday, a sabbath, so there is no mention of any activity until we read John’s account of Supper at Bethany. Eyewitness Account (John’s Gospel…

Letting Our Light Shine In An Election Year -- Jon Mitchell, Editor (Editorial: January/February, 2024)

As 2024 begins, so also begins another election year in the United States. Thus, it is fitting to “stir you up by way of reminder” and bring out some basic scriptural directives and principles from our Lord concerning how we as Christians should speak and act during the politically polarizing times in which we live. Christ’s dictate to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see…

Overcome Evil by The Spirit of The Lord (231) - February 3 2024

Play on other Podcast Apps It is time to go around the mountain once more. We as the Body of Christ must learn to speak to the mountains in the world that need to be removed (Mark 11:23). There are mountains everywhere to be cast into the sea. Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack. We can use the faith that…

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16

“In all circumstances part 1: trust in God's character” By Antique Candle Co.:

“Why is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...” —Proverbs 3:5

Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.

So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.

GOD IS UNCHANGING:

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” —James 1:17

GOD IS FAITHFUL:

“...if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” —2 Timothy 2:13

“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5

GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:

“He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” —Psalm 94:9

GOD IS SOVEREIGN:

“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” —Romans 11:36

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.” —Ephesians 1:7-8

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” —Matthew 24:14

Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.”

Are You On Fire?

One of the things my wife and I love to do is sit in front of our fireplace and watch it, during the few days it is cool enough to run in Texas. Although our fireplace is a gas fireplace and does not consume anything other than gas, it is great to watch. When we can, we also love to have an outside firepit to watch and roast marshmallows on. Fire is something that many people love to watch. It…

God's weapon against the flesh

God’s weapon against the flesh

Every day I struggle against my own flesh, my own mind, and my own will. Sometimes I lose against these things that are trying to force their way to the surface. Every time I lose a battle, I’m always reminded that God isn’t finished with me yet and that I’m forgiven. I’m not forgiven just for the sake of it, though, but because I have a repentant heart. sometimes my pride and ego stand in the…
