Understand when you ever find yourself saying "Never Have I Ever" understand that God is with you.
In Exodus we are introduced to the Pillar of Cloud by day and Fire by night. This is where God dwelt, in the pillar. Where ever the Pillar moved the people moved, when it shifted the people shifted, when it adjusted, the people adjusted. The Pillar represents God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in our life. So my question is, "Where is the Pillar?" has it moved? has it shifted? has it called you to go deeper?
Within you contains beauty that God the Father has created. When you face trials of many kinds, focus on the beauty in your own home.
One of the biggest myths about Chrsitanity is, "Becoming a Christian means that all of your problems go away." This statement holds no merit, because the truth is that our problems dont go away, but Jesus promised that He will always be with us, even till the end of age.
What is holding you back from getting closer to God?
In Matthew 16 Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" This is a question that we all as individuals must answer. Who is Jesus to you?
Every gravestone has a Birth Date, and End Date and a Dash. Live out your dash. God want's you to live a worry free life.
God used Noah at an old age to build the Ark. God also use King David at a young age to be king over Israel. No matter your age God can still use you.
God is good but He is also Just. God judges rightly.
When the world is in chaos, my heart says "I want to see Jesus."
"When the Father saw his son afar off, he ran our to embrace him." We as the church can learn from this father. We need to learn to embrace the communities around us, and meet them on the road that they are traveling.
Every storm of life has a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning is where all the questions start, all the Who, What, When, Where, Why's. The middle is the storm where you find yourself in the think of it. The end is where all the questions stop and all the praise begins. Would you rather be in a storm with Jesus, or on the shore safe and alone?
It is through adversity that we dig our roots deeper in Jesus. Paul said "My Grace is sufficient for you, my strength in made perfect in weakness." It is through difficult and trying times that we depend of God.
Two Roads (Abraham traveling to Mount Moriah & Jesus riding into Jerusalem), Two Journeys (Abraham Sacrificing Isaac & Jesus on the road to his death), One Outcome (God spared Isaac and provided an offering & Jesus became the sacrifice.)
Have you ever been in a place of waiting. Don't give up. Isaiah says that those who wait on the Lord will mount up with wings like eagles . we will run and not grow weary, we will walk and not faint. Know that the best is yet to come.
There is power in the name of Jesus. Its more than just a name. Its the person Jesus Christ. Its the Son of God.
Understand the power behind breakthrough worship.
Isaiah 10:27 "And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat.” When you feed your spirit you will be too fat for the yoke the enemy has for you
If someone asked you, "Where do you think your going?" what would your response be? I believe the world is asking the church this very Question, and we as Christians need to have an answer.

Jesus made a decision to be born unto us and offer his life for us. What would life look like if Jesus decided to back out of his decision?
When I was younger I had this view of Jesus, that He was some guy and I was Zacchaeus and Jesus was shaking his finger at me in disaprovement telling me to get down from the tree. Some times i feel like im to short for Gods calling.
Believing in Jesus is different from knowing Jesus.
When Peter, James and John were on the mountain of transfiguration, Peter being a tent maker, wanted to build three tents, one for Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Peter wanted to live in that moment. The bible says that while Peter was still speaking, the clouds opened up and God spoke. God had to interrupt Peter becuase Peter would not be quiet. When God is at work the best thing to do is be quiet and have faith that God knows what is best.
Jesus told ten leprous individuals to show themselves to the priest. the priest had nothing to do with the miracle. The bible says that "as they went they were cleansed." its about taking the first step of faith.
Elisha told this widow to gather jars for oil. He specifically told this woman to not get just a few. God has an endless supply for His children, we just have to gather jars.
When Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus offers her living water, He offers her something genuine. The Samaritan woman experiences this living water and is changed forever.
When Lazarus died, Jesus traveled to Bethany. Martha ran to meet Jesus while Mary stayed home. When strategy struck, Mary who found herself at the feet of Jesus has now found herself home alone. Martha on the other hand blamed Jesus for her brothers death. The difference between Martha and Mary was Martha let it out while Mary held it in.
When the Scribes found Jesus all they saw was tradition, all they saw was hand washing. Dont allow tradition to get in your way of seeing Jesus.
Martha finds herself distracted that she does not make room for Jesus, yet Mary finds her self consumed with Jesus. The contrast between doing and being.
When you find yourself in a place where are asking What Happens Now, Jesus will always show up on time. Jesus calls the Disciples "Children."
The Holy Spirit lives within you and wants to use you. Allow the Holy Spirit freedom to work in your life. Take a risk and you will know that the Holy Spirit is real and is living!
Do not place Jesus on the back burner of your life. He is not your last option, but rather He is your first option, His is your best option, He is your most reliable option.
Don't Lose It. In 2 Kings 22 the High Priest Hilkiah finds the book fo the Law in the House of God. For something to be found, it first implies it was lost. How did the Word of God get lost in the house of God? Don't let the Word of God become lost in your temple.
In Matthew 15 a Canaanite woman was willing to break the barrier of customs of that day to get to Jesus. God is raising up barrier breakers.
John finds himself in prison, and He asks Jesus "Are you the one to come, or should we keep looking?" Jesus answers I'm still working!
Ted shares his incredible story on how he came to Christ.
Israelites were supposed to pass on to the next generation what they knew about God the Father, So that God would not become lost within the nation. We live in a world today were God is lost within our nation.
We need to understand that we cannot fulfill the call of God on our lives by our own strength alone. We need God to provide that strength.
Sometimes we get into a place where we have no control over life. We then feel frustrated. The frustration is rooted in fear. But we must know that God is our provider. He will provide all that we need according to His riches in glory!
Where is your Faith? Don't let a stumbling block stop your from getting to Christ.
The Israelites while in the wilderness kept asking Moses, Why have you sent us out here to die? They kept forgetting the previous miracles. They kept forgetting what God had done for them in the past. If God can provide yesterday, He can provide today
The woman with the issue of blood didnt care about what was around her she only cared about one thing. Jesus
Dont let the busyness of life drown out the voice of God!
