What Can Your God Do?

You have got to read THIS blog post from Perry Noble.  He's right.  We don't have a clue, and I see this more and more in my life and in the lives of the people I get to talk to.  Where have we missed how big God is and all He is able to do?  Have we missed that in our own minds?  I think we have missed it because we are blind and even build walls.  It comes through our own poor judgement and human thinking.  That is why we have to let God improve or change our thinking.  Do you agree?

Case: Abraham was told to sacrifice his son.  His only son who was promised to him in his old age.  What did Abraham do?  He followed God.  Here is why:

Hebrews 11:19 (nlt) --- Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.

Case: 3 men who were about to be killed if they didn't give in to the pressure of a bad king.  Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were those men.  Here is what they did:

Daniel 3:17 (nlt) --- If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty.
 
Do we really believe that God is able?  Will we take God and the Bible at His word?  That takes huge amounts of courage.  Abraham believed that Isaac was God's to give and to take from Him.  The three men that went into the fire believed that God was with them and would give them help in the blazing fire.  God came through for both.  Won't God do that again?

I challenge you and me to change our human thinking into divine thinking.  Some people that isn't rational.  But truth is, what is human and of flesh kicks faith out of our lives.  And I want to live by faith.  How about you.  When your thinking doesn't match up to what God says, do this:

2 Corinthians 10:5 (nlt) --- We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

What can your God do?  Read for yourself 1 Kings 18 and the story about Elijah taking on all of Baal's prophets.  God showed up, and people believed God is God and that He is able.  Lets do the same.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
