“I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will continually be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His Name together.” Psalm 34:1I like to ask myself this question: "Is praise my response of choice to every situation?" It certainly should be. Lately, I’ve been putting a lot of effort into responding to situations instead of reacting. I’m also working on polishing those responses so they don’t sound like reactions!Every morning when I have my devotions my prayers look like this: I have my mighty bow and arrow stretched back as far as it can go and whoosh, I release and let it go... off to hit a very specific target that I have visualized for every person, topic and need. “Lord, please do thus and such.”If God does not hit my target in my time frame, do I count it as an unanswered pr...
Speaking faith-filled words rises out of a heart of trust, a place of "knowing" in God as the way, the truth and the life He called us into.
"Well, that's fine for you, but it won't work for me.""I know what Mark 11:23-24 says, but it doesn't always work.""Life is crazy hectic."Words spoken as accepted truth. (Psst. FYI - Fake news)These statements and more so often pour out of mouths without a thought to the cause and effect they're creating or to the heart they're revealing. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Voice is given to what we intrinsically believe. (our 2 cents, our opinion, what we feel). What is spoken will be acted upon. What is acted out results in consequences -(of our own making BTW)."The mouth speaks what the heart is full of."Matthew 12:34SO, the question of the hour is, "What are YOU talking about these days?"Speaking faith-filled words isn't "blab-it-...
"Lord, I believe, help my unbelief." Mark 9:24That was the cry of a desperate father whose son was tormented with demonic possession for years. Jesus' disciples were unable to deliver the young man so the father went straight to their leader, to Jesus, for help. The father said to Him, "If You are able to do something, anything - have compassion on us and help us!" Jesus replied, "What do you mean 'if'?" If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer."There are two "Ifs" in this event.The first "IF" was spoken by the father doubting the ability of Jesus or His desire to help on behalf of the horrific trial affecting their entire family. They had lived with these circumstances beyond their ability for years. They wanted to see their son set free. "Can You, will You, would You make it stop?" In essence that was what the distraught father was saying out of fear for his son...
Choose faith over doubt and unbelief.
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathaniel asked. John 1:46Regardless of the AMAZING miracles Jesus performed right in their presence...doubt and unbelief would creep in and show up time and again.We see through a filter. Your life filter is based on your own upbringing, personality, and experiences. You see everything—God, yourself, others, circumstances, etc—through this filter.We are programmed to doubt everything and believe nothing that we can't see, feel and touch... Sadly, even when we see it, feel it and touch it...We still doubt! Philip, a disciple of Jesus, once told a friend, Nathaniel, about Jesus. Nate wasn’t into it. “Just come and see,” Phil told Nate," You don’t have to take my word for it. Just meet this Jesus guy!"Life and faith are more simple than we make it. We get stuck staring through our hole in the fence that we...
To doubt you must first believe in something.
Doubt and unbelief are feelings and thoughts that we all have at times.When it looks like things won’t work out. When we are facing difficult situations. Even when life is good and things seem to go as planned.So what is doubt and unbelief? Are they different? Similar? That’s a good question!They are different, but often seen as the same.To doubt you must first believe in something.Something spiritual, physical or mentally. It can be believing in Christ as our Savior. It can be believing that something you saw is real. It can be believing that you can or cannot do something.As a Christian, doubt is not seen as the absence of faith, but rather as a question of faith. A question of belief. Will I get through this trial? Will God provide what I need in time? Will....?The constant wondering and overthinking. The fear that it might not...
Faith, Trust, Belief
John 8:45"I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me."Jesus was speaking to the religious folk of the day who where challenging Him for the umpteenth time. He was calling them out on their unbelief.There is a journey one takes towards unbelief - it is preceded by doubt which is preceded by expectation.Expectation is seeing from our perspective.a. "I expect the hotel room to look as nice as the picture."b. "I expect to receive the promotion due to my recent performance,"c. "I expect to be looked after because I am a victim of circumstance."Expectation is preached from pulpits, in motivational books and seminars and has been paraded as the key to positive thinking. As I researched the various dictionary meanings for expectation I realized this imposter is trying to disguise itself as FAITH.Expectation actually opens the door to doubt.a. "Because the hotel...

"Happy Days"
Back in 1979 one of the most popular sitcoms was "Happy Days" which aired on Tuesdays around 7 p.m. The show started and the doorbell rang. It was Gary and Judy Bauer making their debut KAM visit. We were the family God directed them to contact. We had just met and they asked us to turn off the TV!! What?
I was raised Catholic and thought I knew a lot about God. This had better be important. I was sincere about God, but sincerely missing something and I didn't even have a clue what. God knew and He used Gary and Judy to get through to me. I received the greatest miracle of my entire life. I became a new creature in Christ that evening....
Things began to change immediately, mainly my mindset. Nothing was the same anymore. My perspective on life took on new understanding. God put in me a hunger for the Word and blessed me with Bible-based church all in one night. KAM became
