From Minimum to Maximum

The secret to a blessed life in Christ is in the power of prayer. Any time we operate from a focus of prayer and the word, God comes through for us. If we are tired and weary he will be there for us. No amount of human effort can replace the ability of Gods Holy Spirit to strengthen, guide and take care of the negative circumstances in our lives. The desire to operate on minimum strength is tempting, but we will soon learn that we can live up to our full potential only in Christ. Any trust in our human wisdom, strength or understanding will leave us falling short.

It is the life that lives in total surrender to Christ that sees maximum results. Our focus must be on prayer and knowing God. We must not only be familiar with His works but become familiar with His ways. Christ realized the necessity of knowing God for himself and seeking God for His anointing. At one time he asked God to glorify Him with the glory he had with Him from the beginning. Though He was God, He took on the likeness of man and knew that he had to keep in communion with God to operate from the fullness of God.

We must not faint in prayer. When we minister to others we give out. We must keep on refilling our lives with the presence of God's Holy Spirit to get maximum results.

Scripture References:  Matthew 6:5-15, Ephesians 6:18, Philippians 4:6-7

Lead Me to the Rock that is Higher than I

The Psalmist David knew what trouble was; He had to run for his life.  Saul wanted him dead. Rage and jealousy had put Saul in a fit.  People loved David more than Saul. David made him feel small and humiliated.  David was stealing his shine and he will not have it. He wanted sweet revenge.  He had the power and the authority to do just that, so David had to run.   This story is told so often. We wonder, why Lord? Why did this happen to me? What have I done wrong? The fact is, this is life. We win some and we lose some. The comfort we have is that we can go to our God.  When we feel abused, refused or excluded we can go to him as David did.  He will be to us a strong tower a shield and our protector.  David said when he felt overwhelmed he will go to God who stands like a solid strong protective rock. A rock that is higher than him and that when life overwhelms him, he will trust in that rock. Today, Jesus is our rock and our shelter, our s...

You are Special In case you might have forgotten, I just wanted to remind you that you are one of a kind, God's chosen, fearfully and wonderfully created. It does not matter how you feel, how you look, what your circumstances are, these things do not define YOU. What defines you is who or what you think about yourself. So today, I want to encourage you to push through negative thoughts and feelings and believe the truth of your uniqueness. You are not only fearfully and wonderfully made as God said, you are also strong because He has promised to be your strength and shield. So today, I encourage you to know that you are somebody loving, kind, full of warmth, smart and beautiful. 'Your past is history' Your past is history. It does not have to determine your destiny because God himself has already determined it. So many people live and die without knowing that they are special, that they are somebody and that they are unique, important, loved, wanted and appreciated. Today ...
