God can do anything! [+] Monday E-Devotion

Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."

Do you really believe that God can do anything? Prove it. Think through what you have seen him do and what you have experienced. Now, spend a few minutes thinking about what others have told you God did in their lives.

We have the proof. God is able. Our minds cannot hold him back. People cannot put God in a box. He can heal the worst diseases. He can fixed the biggest, baddest broken situation. Our God can do anything, and it is time for us to believe God and let Him work in and through our lives.

Here is one of The Community Core statements ... we are to get the attention of our community and while we have their attention, tell them about Jesus

You can get people's attention in many ways. But what do you do when you have their attention? Why not do the greatest good? Tell them about the one who will make the biggest difference for eternity? Here is what Jesus said about it:

John 12:32 NLT

And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.

Jesus is the one that changes lives. It is not our job to change lives. Pointing people to Him and opening the lines of communication is our job. What has God done in your life that you need to tell others about? Maybe your testimony is a bit like mine. I love this verse ...

Luke 1:74 NLT

We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear,

God rescued me. How about you? We can serve Him without fear, and we must realize that God can do anything!

Yes, God can surely do anything. But of course we always need to remember that whether He will is another question. Sadly, we do tend to sell God short, and expect too much of our selves apart from God. Good word!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
