amazed at what God does

Luke 8:25 NLT
Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" The disciples were terrified and amazed. "Who is this man?" they asked each other. "When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!"

One of my favorite things is to be amazed at what God does. Today was another one of those times as I met with two city officials.  It was so incredible to hear what God had already done.  Most of that I will share with you all later.

Ever noticed what happened after Jesus preformed miracles?  People were amazed.  They would stand with their jaws on the ground, amazed at all God has done.  One of the pieces that always gets me is how the disciples, his closest followers are amazed at what Jesus can do and has done.

It is time God's kids to begin to ask God to do miracles and move mountains.  This is the same God we read about in the Bible.  He still saves souls, changes lives and does miracles.  Ask Him.  I am.

John 4:10 NLT
Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water."

God is always in the business of changing lives.  It is not about a building or money or organizations.  God's business is the business of lives.  That means our business ought to be lives as well.  Do people have our attention?  Or are we more worried about the bottom line, or how we look, or what the building has or doesn't have?  There are people around us that God wants to touch.

Let God work in and through your life.  Ask Him to move and to change lives.  Now, focus on people.  We will be amazed at what God does!

Matthew 7:28 NLT
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

Acts 4:13 NLT
The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.

I pray that people will know that we have been with Jesus.  I pray that God will change lives all around us as we focus on Him and are amazed at what God does.

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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
