From Pit to Praise

There are only two things that last forever in this world. People and the Word of God! When people love God and live in response to His Word, we see the Kingdom of Heaven advance, and the kingdom of darkness is pushed back. May His Kingdom come, and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Our culture and world are full of distractions. To stay focused as a follower of Jesus requires the Holy Spirit's help and personal discipline. When God's people stay focused on Christ as King and his mission in the world... look out, because God will do Great Things!

Satan will sometimes bring a direct assault against Jesus and his church.  Often, he will choose to use deception and temptation to let God's people injure themselves.  Some of his most powerful agents are greed and the love of money.  May Christ bring a fresh wave of repentance and revival among his people.202

Every follower of Jesus must know that we will face spiritual opposition. The opponent will wage a war of words and intimidation to discourage and derail Christians from living boldly for Jesus. We are to carry the Word of God (the sword of the Spirit) in one hand and be ready to work with the other. 

When Jesus brings you into his Kingdom and into his family, it is A Call To Action. We are to respond in obedience and follow him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Be ready join with others because our God is on the move and he is building his people as we serve Jesus together.

Our Faith is meant to be Active. God's plan for us is to join him and embrace his vision repair and rebuild what is broken because of sin. Our faith is active when we wait and pray. Our faith is active when step out and follow him boldly.

When the Lord redirects our lives, we call that a Turning Point. God has a Vision and a Plan for our lives that is bigger than our vision/plan. Let’s embrace him plan and follow him together.#Godspeopleonmission #Nehemiah #heyharvest 

God is Faithful. As we look to the past, we can see his mighty hand at work in history and our lives. Sometimes, it is difficult to see his faithfulness as we go through hardships. We cry out for him to help us and know that he will Rise Up because of his steadfast love.

Sometimes God can feel distant. Our faith can feel dry and we can get discouraged. The prescription for a downcast soul is to put our Hope in God. Praise God that he will never leave us or forsake us.

When you feel like you've fallen into a pit and cannot escape... what do you do? It is easy to give up and resolve to live in darkness and despair. There is a better answer. Let Jesus rescue you and praise his name!
