endless possibilities

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

There really are endless possibilities when God is in the midst of things.  Think about it.  Maybe turn and think about it like when you were a child.  The sky is the limit.  You can be anything you want to be or do anything you want to do.  Possibilities are huge.

Anything is possible because the anything is not tied to our thinking or our ability but to God’s ability.  That is where I would like to begin today.  Endless possibilities are a reality when a person believes that God can and that God will.

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

How would things be different if the people guiding us when we were children helped us reach for the stars and believe that anything is possible?  Things would be different.  Do you agree?

It assume that many people have settled for less because they limited their own possibilities.  Faith sees further, stretches more and steps out because it is based on the ability of our God.  A person with great faith will believe within themselves that there are possibilities and will lead others to see and embrace possibilities.

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

Declare it.  Anything is possible with God.  Stop limiting God and stop limiting yourself and others.  Stop playing it safe and missing the very best that God has for you.

Imagine you are one of the people who followed, listened and did what Jesus said while He was on the earth.  Can you imagine the impact that those men and women had on the people that they told what they heard and saw?

We can do the same.  By telling people what God has done for us we open doors of possibility for others to see and experience these realities. 

In Mark chapter 8 we find the story of Jesus telling His disciples that he would have to die, but only 3 days later Jesus would be alive again.  When Peter heard what Jesus said, Peter confronted Jesus says that this couldn’t happen.  It was at that point that Jesus called Peter Satan in verse 33.  The next part of the verse really is eye opening.  Jesus said that Peter was speak out of human wisdom and missing things from God’s point of view.

Peter had experienced so many things that seemed humanly impossible, but Peter continued to fight against what Jesus said because it was human reasoning that kept him tied up and unable to understand what Jesus said.  By embracing what Jesus said and what He did peter would open the eyes of others to see Jesus for who He really is.

What have you experienced from God?  Your relationship with God and your experienced shared with others might be the opening door for another person or many people to meet and see God.

Has the Lord redeemed you?  Then speak out!  Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.

May our lives be salt and light to help others see Jesus!

Matthew 6:13-14,16  NLT
13 “You are the salt of the earth.  But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?  Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.  14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

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
