“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. - Isaiah 54:2 (NIV)Anyone who genuinely wants to see/ experience a positive turn in their lives would major in obedience to God. #enlarge #steadylife

Receive Capacity to Handle NewTerritory!  "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." 2 Peter 3:18  Imagine a potted plant, thriving for years within the confines of its small container. It may look healthy, by its growth is stunted. When transplanted into open ground, that same plant bursts forth, stretching its roots into new territory. Just like this plant,you are called to thrive beyond your current boundaries. Therefore, “Stretch, don't settle.” This is not just a motto; it's an invitation to experience the fullness of life God has designed for you. If you remember the story of Jabez, who fervently prayed to God, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge myterritory” (1 Chronicles 4:10). His plea was not just for material gain but for the capacity to embrace God's abundant call. Jabez understood that growth often comes from stepping outside familiar spaces and daring to dream bigger. Just as he called on God to expand his influence, so too can you ask for the grace to break free from the confines of your comfort zone.Luke 2:52 says, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."I pray that you grow in wisdom to receive favor from God, men, and women in Jesus name. Amen. Remember, Goddesires for us to grow and flourish. In 2 Peter 3:18, we are reminded to "grow in grace and knowledge." This growth is continuous, much like a young Jesus, who “grew in wisdom and stature” (Luke 2:52). As you strive to expand your horizons, remember that growth involves pushing beyond limits and stretching into new roles, opportunities, and experiences.Brethren, remember, "Settling keeps the map small. Therefore, say yes to the uncharted and let your capacitycatch up to your calling."  Comfort is the enemy of progress, because God's vision for us often surpasses our ownunderstanding. As you step forward into new experiences and uncharted territories, know that God is already preparing the way. You are equipped with the strength and wisdom to occupy these new spaces. Amen. Isaiah 54:2 says,"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes." Amen Prayer for the Day Heavenly Father, we thank You for the capacity You have placed within us to explore new frontiers. We ask thatYou bless every individual reading this, granting them the courage to step into their new territory. May they be like Jabez, unafraid to request expansion, and may their roots grow deeply in the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Amen.

As part of the series Living Confidently in Times of Great Change, Isaiah 54:1–3 calls the people of God to prepare for expansion:“Sing, barren woman… burst into song… Enlarge the place of your tent… do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left…”These words were spoken to a people who saw themselves as captives and victims. Jerusalem had been destroyed, the temple ruined, and the nation scattered. Yet God declared that restoration and multiplication were coming. They were not to prepare for survival—but for growth.History shows what can happen when this word is taken seriously. In 1792, a young shoemaker, William Carey, preached from this very passage and ended with the now-famous challenge: “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.” From that moment the modern missionary movement was launched. What began small grew to impact nations. God still calls His people to move from limitation into expansion.1. It's Time To SingIsaiah 54:1 “Sing, barren woman… burst into song…”The command to sing was given to the barren, the fruitless, the disappointed and the hurting. Before they saw change, before fruit appeared, they were told to rejoice.Captivity had stolen their song. God was restoring it.Singing represents a mindset shift—from despair to faith, from victim to victor. Revival always carries a sound of praise because it reflects confidence that the Redeemer lives.Isaiah 54 continues with promises of: Growth, Dignity, Restoration, Everlasting love, Prosperity, Family blessing, ProtectionThe season of barrenness does not define the future. The first step into new growth is choosing praise before the breakthrough appears.2. It's Time To Stretch Isaiah 54:2–3“Enlarge the place of your tent… do not hold back… For you will spread out to the right and to the left.”The exiles had developed a survival mentality. When people face hardship, the instinct is often to withdraw, conserve, and protect what remains. But God commands the opposite: Do not hold back.The imagery is of a Bedouin tent being expanded—new skins added, cords lengthened, territory extended. Growth requires stretching beyond comfort.This is the mission of the Church:Acts 1:8 – “You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.”Matthew 28:19 – “Go and make disciples of all nations.”Growth means moving outward—into communities, workplaces, campuses and neighbourhoods. It means sharing the gospel intentionally and believing for multiplication.Stretching requires faith. It requires stepping up to lead, to serve, to speak, to invite. Fear shrinks back; faith expands forward.3. It's Time To StrengthenIsaiah 54:2 “…strengthen your stakes.”Expansion without strengthening leads to collapse. As growth increases, foundations must deepen.• Strengthen Yourself In The WordPsalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp for my feet.”2 Timothy 3:16–17 – “All Scripture is God-breathed… so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped.”The Word equips, corrects, trains and guides. Growth demands daily discipline in Scripture. Strong tents require strong stakes.• Strengthen Yourself In The Holy SpiritJohn 3:34 – “God gives the Spirit without limit.”Acts 1:8 – “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…”Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 4:1). Effective witness flows from spiritual empowerment. Stretching cannot happen in human strength. Dependence on the Holy Spirit must deepen daily.• Strengthen Yourself OrganisationallyGrowth also requires order. Time, habits, finances, priorities and family life must align with purpose. Capacity must increase to sustain expansion.Organisation creates room for multiplication.In ConclusionGod is preparing His people for new levels of growth. The word is clear:Sing – shift the mindset from barrenness to fruitfulness.Stretch – refuse to hold back; expand in faith.Strengthen – deepen foundations in the Word, the Spirit and disciplined living.Isaiah 54:4 declares:“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.”This is not a season of retreat, but of advance. Not survival, but multiplication. Not limitation, but expansion.Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.

A blog by Jason Cherry offering three reasons why Christians should not snub quality fiction.https://trinityreformedkirk.com/blog/2026/02/10/enlarge-your-soul

"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes." Isaiah 54:2 Imagine a thriving houseplant, its roots tightly bound within a tiny pot. While it may look healthy, its growth is inevitably stunted. This metaphor reflects the comfort zones we often inhabit in our lives; they are cozy but limit our potential. Just like that plant, if we wish to flourish, we must ask ourselves what routines and habits need expanding this season. Are we courageous enough to embrace a bigger pot, where we can stretch our roots deeper and reach for the sky? Consider the story of Abram, who left his homeland of Ur to venture into the unknown, guided by God's promises. He didn't cling to the familiar; instead, he stepped into a realm of possibilities. This journey reminds us that stepping out of our small pots can lead to divine encounters and growth. As we explore new paths, let us remember Isaiah 54:2, which encourages us to "enlarge the place of your tent," stretching ourselves to embrace God's vast plans for our lives. Acts 16:9-10 says, "During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them." In Acts 16:6-10, Paul, guided by the Holy Spirit, was led away from his initial plans toward Macedonia. He expanded his territory, reaching hearts he had never imagined. This divine redirection illustrates that growth often occurs when we remain open to God's leading and are ready to embrace the new experiences He has prepared for us. The invitation is clear: to press on and reach for the new, as Philippians 3:13-14 invites us to forget what lies behind and to strain forward to what lies ahead. Therefore, “Grow space, grow grace.” This slogan reminds us that the more we allow ourselves to be repotted — whether that's through new experiences, relationships, or pursuits — the greater grace we encounter in our lives. Just as a plant absorbs nutrients from fresh soil, we too thrive when we step outside our comfort zones. As the quote says, “Faith grows best on fresh ground,” inviting us to explore beyond the borders we have set. Philippians 3:13-14 says, "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Prayer for the Day!As we embark on this journey of expansion — whether it be through prayer, pursuing new opportunities, or connecting with different people — let us take a moment to seek God's wisdom. May we ask for His guidance to illuminate the areas of our lives that need growth. Heavenly Father, we thank You for the potential within us and ask that You help us stretch our boundaries. Grant us the courage to leave behind the small pots of our comfort zones. May we flourish and grow in Your grace, embracing the new paths You lay before us.  In Jesus name. Amen. 

What would happen if we truly made room for what God wants to do? In this message, we launch the REACH series with a prophetic call for our church and our lives: Make Room. Drawing from Isaiah 54, we're reminded that growth, revival, and impact require preparation—enlarging the tent, stretching the cords, and strengthening the stakes. This message unpacks the vision and mission of the church—Changed Lives through Worship, Family, and Reach—and invites every believer to take part in God's story of reaching people locally and globally. From stories of faith and generosity to the history of building churches and investing in the next generation, we see how obedience and faith create space for miracles. You'll hear why generosity fuels mission, why community strengthens faith, and why open hearts are essential for what God wants to do next. God is drawing people to Himself in confusing and weary times—and He invites us to prepare for the harvest. Whether through faith, generosity, discipleship, or simply saying yes to God, this message challenges us to grow, to stretch, and to make room for the miracles, salvation, and renewal God is bringing. Enlarge the tent. Strengthen the stakes. Get ready—God isn't done with your story.

What would happen if we would ask the Lord to enlarge our heart? Physically, an enlarged heart left untreated would lead to death. Spiritually, an enlarged heart desires more of God's Word, seeks the truth from the Word and runs according to the Word. Join us today as we make three words our prayer, Enlarge My Heart!   Chapters (00:00:00) - Ask God to Enlarge My Heart(00:05:24) - Psalm 25: Revive Me According to Your Word(00:14:07) - Healing Word(00:15:35) - Psalm 37: I've Chosen the Way of Truth(00:19:55) - Psalm 31(00:22:24) - Psalm 119: I Will Run the Course of Your Commandments(00:26:10) - A Moment of Invitation to My Heart

Isaiah 22: 20-23 Joshua 1: 3-9 Exodus 33: 7-11 Isaiah 54: 2 Gen 2: 8-20

In his Confessions, Augustine wrestled with how it was possible for God to be in relationship with him. How could the One who created the universe come into something as small and sinful as his heart? But he pleaded with God to make it possible, praying, “The house of my soul is narrow. Enlarge it, so that you may enter it. It’s in ruins! Repair it! It has things in it that would offend your eyes. I confess and know it. But who will cleanse it, or to whom will I cry, but to you?” Today we know Augustine as Saint Augustine, a revered philosopher and theologian. But he saw himself simply as someone transformed by the wonder of a God who wanted to know him. In Psalm 119, the psalmist is also in awe of God’s revelation of Himself, particularly through Scripture (v. 18). “You shall enlarge my heart” (v. 32 nkjv), the psalmist celebrated. It’s only because God is graciously willing to enlarge our hearts that we can joyfully walk the path He shows us (v. 45). He turns our hearts away from what is corrupt (vv. 36-37) to the “path of [His] commands,” where we find infinite “delight” (v. 35). We are small, and our hearts are fickle. But when we turn our longing hearts to God (vv. 34, 36), He guides us down the paths of joy and true freedom.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 Imagine a tree, its branches reaching high into the sky, stretching ever outward toward the warm embrace of sunlight. Just as the tree thrives by extending its limbs, we too are called to reach beyond ourselves in our relationships. In John 15:5, Jesus assures us, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” When we stay connected to Him, we naturally bear fruit — sharing His grace with those around us. Taking relational risks for the gospel can feel daunting, but it's essential for growth. Isaiah 54:2 encourages us to “enlarge the place of your tent,” urging us to expand our horizons. By extending ourselves toward others, we create opportunities for divine connections and reflect God's love in tangible ways. Remember Andrew Murray's wisdom: “Abide first, bear later.” When we root ourselves in Christ, the fruits of our outreach will follow.  Isaiah 54:2 says, “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes." Consider the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. Philip was open to divine direction and took a step toward the unknown, resulting in a transformative encounter. His willingness to engage with someone different — both culturally and spiritually — led to the eunuch's baptism and his new life in Christ. This illustrates how one relational risk can extend the reach of grace far beyond what we can imagine. In our own lives, we're similarly called to light the path for others. The quote “Comfort zones are zip codes, not destinies” serves as a reminder that we are designed for more. As our branches flourish in faith, let's venture into uncharted territories and embrace opportunities to let God's light shine through us. Amen. Proverbs 11:30 says, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise." Amen. Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your grace. Help us to step outside our comfort zones and take relational risks that draw others closer to You. May our lives be like branches, reaching out to those in need of Your love and salvation. Let us bear fruit that glorifies You and extends Your grace to all. In Jesus' name, Amen. 

Prayer isn't just a ritual; it's a strategic response to the forces that seek to limit your progress. David Antwi provides practical insights into the power of fasting and consecration, showing how a dedicated pursuit of God can shift life narratives and open new territories.

God is calling His people to make room for more. In Isaiah 54:2–3, the Lord declares a season of expansion—stretching our faith, enlarging our capacity, and preparing us for increase. In 2026: The Year of Enlargement, Pastor Brandon Hill challenges us to believe beyond our limitations, clear space for God's promises, and step boldly into what He is ready to release. This powerful vision message will stir your faith, strengthen your expectation, and remind you that enlargement begins on the inside before it shows up on the outside.

Jesus Followers Have, Are, and Will Face Derision, Persecution, and Death; But God Addresses “Impossible” Situations and Transforms Lives MESSAGE SUMMARY: The Apostles did not get into their life roles, after Jesus Resurrection and Ascension, without much grief and anguish; but Jesus transformed their lives. God addresses impossible situations in our lives, too; and then He transforms our lives, through His grace, into something of beauty. Jesus' Cross was an impossible situation, but now we view the Cross as a sign of triumph -- our triumph as believers and followers of Jesus! In John 10:27-30, Jesus succinctly describes how He transforms the lives of those that follow Him: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”. Additionally, in today's uncertainties and fears and with the new and uncharted paths that our life today demands that we follow, Paul, in Colossians 1:5-6, gives us hope through God's Grace and the Gospel: “because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, when I think about my losses, it can feel like I have no skin to protect me. I feel raw, scraped to the bone. Looking at Job and Jesus helps, but I must admit that I struggle to see something new being birthed out of the old. Enlarge my soul through the trials and losses of my life. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 101). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Resentment. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Compassion. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

In this message, Pastor Shug teaches on what it means to stretch into the more God has already prepared for you. This isn't a season to hold back — it's a season to enlarge, elevate, expand, and increase. But to walk into new levels, you must first let God stretch your faith, your focus, and your covenant.Key Scriptures:Isaiah 54:2–3 — “Enlarge the place of your tent.”Exodus 14:21 — “Moses stretched out his hand.”John 19:30 — “It is finished.”Pastor Shug breaks down how:- The stretch is where the breakthrough begins- Obedience opens the overflow- Partnership with God unlocks supernatural increase- The finished work of Jesus made space for our more….. “This word is for the ones who feel tension in transition. For the ones who know they're growing but it hurts. For the ones who refuse to shrink when God is expanding them!” - Pastor Shug It's harvest time — and this is your reminder:Don't shrink in the stretch.Listen. Receive. Stretch into your next.#DontShrinkInTheStretch #UnlockTheMore #PastorShug #GenerationXYZPodcast #FaithMoves #KingdomElevation

"Stretching feels unnatural—but it's where God enlarges capacity." Stretching is never comfortable—it feels unnatural, sometimes painful—but it's the very thing that builds our strength. In Isaiah 54, God says, “Enlarge the place of your tent and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out.” In the same way, God often calls us to stretch before He strengthens us.

Enlarge My Heart - Tafara Butayi (21 September 2025)

John 14:12 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.Matthew 14:22-33 22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It's a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.”28 “Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”29 “Come,” he said.Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”Luke 9:1-6 9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.Luke 5:1-11 5 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”5 Simon answered, “Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.John 3:1-21 3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!”5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.' 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d]9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.10 “You are Israel's teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[e] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g]16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.Isaiah 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.

Enlarge your Tent: Ministering Deacon Mayokun Oshin | Published August 24th, 2025 | RCCG - LSMC - Columbia Campus

Enlarge Your Tent Isaiah 54:1-3 "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the Lord. "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities." It's a Call to Enlarge One's Experience with God Colossians 2:6-7 2 Peter 3:18 It's a Call to Enlarge Our Capacity for Others Romans 12:15-18 1 Thessalonians 5:11 It's a Call to Enlarge the Capacity and Ministry of Our Churches Luke 10:2-3

This week at Genesis, we're celebrating a new chapter—we're moving! Chris takes us back through our history, highlighting where we've come from so we can better understand where God is leading us next. This move isn't just about a new location, but about carrying forward the heart of Genesis into a new space where God can continue to grow and shape us. We hold onto the promise of Isaiah 54:2: “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.” We believe God is calling us to expand and prepare for the future He has in store.

Jesus Followers Have, Are, and Will Face Derision, Persecution, and Death; But God Addresses “Impossible” Situations and Transforms Lives MESSAGE SUMMARY: The Apostles did not get into their life roles, after Jesus Resurrection and Ascension, without much grief and anguish; but Jesus transformed their lives. God addresses impossible situations in our lives, too; and then He transforms our lives, through His grace, into something of beauty. Jesus' Cross was an impossible situation, but now we view the Cross as a sign of triumph -- our triumph as believers and followers of Jesus! In John 10:27-30, Jesus succinctly describes how He transforms the lives of those that follow Him: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”. Additionally, in today's uncertainties and fears and with the new and uncharted paths that our life today demands that we follow, Paul, in Colossians 1:5-6, gives us hope through God's Grace and the Gospel: “because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, when I think about my losses, it can feel like I have no skin to protect me. I feel raw, scraped to the bone. Looking at Job and Jesus helps, but I must admit that I struggle to see something new being birthed out of the old. Enlarge my soul through the trials and losses of my life. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 101). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Trust In Him And Walk In Obedience Isaiah 54:2-5 2“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. 3For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. 4“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. 5For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.

April 26, 2025 - Equipped 2025 - Day 3 - 11:00AM Session   Lacy leads a wonderful discussion on the marriage imagery described in Isaiah when explaining the relationship between God and Israel.    Isaiah 54 - A Perpetual Covenant of Peace 54 “Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. 3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited. 4 “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. 5 For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. 6 For the Lord has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God. 7 “For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. 8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your Redeemer. 9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you. 11 “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. 12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. 13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. 14 In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. 16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an [a]instrument for his work; And I have created the [b]spoiler to destroy. 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.   Video: 2025 Equipped Workshop 4-26-25 - "WIFE AND MOTHER IMAGERY IN ISAIAH"- Lacy Crowell Duration 39:26
