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.
