It has been an awesome week. My wife and I joined the YMCA on Wednesday, went and
did deep water aerobics on Thursday, almost died from the aerobics (not really) because I am so out of shape and other than that it was awesome. I have made a decision though; exercise is not what it is cracked up to be and especially deep water aerobics. We are going to change to shallow water aerobics because it is less intensive and work our way up to deep water. Our plan is to swim two days a week and work out on the machines three days a week and rest the other two. I am almost certain that after the first day on the machines I will be ready to rest the other six instead. We are determined to get ourselves back into shape because I know that God is about to do something in our lives and in our ministry that is going to not only amaze us, but the rest of the world as well. We have been doing what we have had in our hands to do for the past sixteen years and we are so ready for whatever God has for us. As most of you already know, we are heading to the Philippines in November to do two Pastor’s Conferences and nine evenings of Miracle Crusades and I have been having dreams of both of them and what I see is miraculous. I know we speak things into existence and God did say call those things that are not as though they were, and that is exactly what we are doing. Lorraine and I both feel that this trip is going to be like no other and that God is going to move in ways we really can’t even dream of. One thing is for sure though, we are now preparing ourselves for what is about to take place. In Matthew 17:20 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain move from here to there and it must move. Nothing will be impossible for you”. My focus is the nothing will be impossible for you. God is ready to move in our lives and we need to grasp a hold of that mustard seed faith and realize for ourselves that nothing is truly impossible for us if we seek Jesus first and foremost above all else. Jesus again in the scriptures told us, for man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). In other words if we have our total and complete trust in Him, He will do for us what we cannot do ourselves. Sound to me like nothing will be impossible for us through Christ. What an awesome thought, have Jesus in your life and trust in Him and there is nothing you cannot do. That is our mind set as we set out to the Philippines, there is nothing we cannot do through Him who strengthens us, and with Him at our side we can accomplish the impossible. I want to remind you to constantly be in the Word and don’t just look at a scripture and think that was for them back then because everything that God did back then is exactly for us right now in this place at this time. The bible says that God is the same yesterday, today and forever and that translates to what He did then He will do today and tomorrow. Do you need a miracle today? God has the answer and He is waiting for you to ask. You might say, yes but what I need will take a miracle because it is totally impossible. Guess what you can have your miracle today right now because we serve a God of impossibility and He would like nothing more than to give you that miracle ONLY BELIEVE! That is all God is asking of you BELIEVE never doubt. Too many times we give up and probably when we were going to receive from Him. He did not withhold it from us, He wanted us just to believe in Him and press in. We have seen miracles in the Philippines and God will do those same miracles here there and everywhere to those who will accept Him and trust in Him to do what He says He will do. There is nothing on this earth that is impossible for Him and there is no force in this world that can stop Him. When you accept the fact that there is nothing you can do and turn to Jesus Christ, you are going to see His power and authority and the only question you will have is, why did I wait so long? God loves you and Lorraine and I love you with that exact same love because He loves us. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and you will see great things begin to happen.
