How much do we believe that God is for us?
The word says that " if he is for us than who can be against us" Romans 8:31.
In the last several years God has done some phenomenal
things in my life and in the lives of my family. I have watched him part our
Red Sea, I have watched him raise a marriage form the dead. I have have
prayed till I couldn't pray any more, and yet still I was able to continue
on.... to press in and seek more of God. Since 2007 I have watched God
reconstruct my life. From a simple dream he birthed in my heart, as it
came from my heart in an audible prayer. I dared to dream that my
life could be different. That my marriage, my husband, my children and I
could all be transformed into the image of Christ. Out of our ashes God
was able to find beauty and give us new life. He has dared us to press in
further, to dream bigger, and to watch him fight for us! When we have
done all that we could do, he is still faithful to complete the work he
began! God has never stopped teaching us, holding us in the midst of our
trials. We have seen many victories; Not because every situation
turned out like we had asked for in our prayers, but because we believed that
God's plan was perfect and that everything works together for our good, and for
his Glory!!!!!! I don't know about you but that gets me excited!
His word says we have not because we ask not!
"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you
pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted
you. Mark 11:24
So what does it look like when God does a miracle? I
can tell you that often times as Americans we don't really need God. Why
ask him for what we can do for ourselves? If we don't have opportunity to
need him, how do we invite him in and ask for miracles. I am not talking
about asking for more, when what we have is already pretty great. I am
talking about where the rubber meets the road........ Those places we come to
where there is no hope, and without God our circumstance cannot change. I
often think about pastors we know who are oversees in ministry and I get
excited because many of them are in places were people have very little and it
is easy for them to see the miracles that God want's to do.
This is what God wants to do in America as well.
Plan to check back for the next several days as I share the next step in where God is moving mountains in our life!
