What are You & I believing God for?

Let's get to the specifics. What are you & I believing God for? He knows the beginning and the end. It's already in the past what your believing God for! He said he is only interested in your good and that when you have your eyes focused on Him, He can move mountains. I mean, He put the moon and stars in space. He created the heavens & the earth and everything in it. He only has to say ONE WORD ..and it was spoken into being. He is the WORD that became flesh and walked among us.
Pray as if it already is a reality. It's not God's will that someone should die of cancer. It's not God's will that we should be filled with fear. Do you have faith as small as a mustard seed? Do you believe God is bigger than any of your problems? Do we want to wonder around wondering for 40 years if God can do what He says He can do & miss the Promised Land? Why I ask...do we have such a hard time believing? It's a matter of trust...it's a matter of little, great, or perfect faith in God. Little Faith says "I will pray about that." Great Faith says "I believe God can do that." Perfect Faith says " It's a done deal!"

I'm making a declaration right now! I'm believing in Perfect Faith that God will move what He knows needs moving in our lives. I'm believing God for all the things my husband & I prayed about tonight. We wrote them all down on paper & tucked them into our bible to give to Him, and as visual reminder for us. I'm believing The Brook Ministries Golf Tournament & Motorcycle Tour will be a huge overwhelming success and glory upon glory....victory upon victory God reigns! All for His Glory! We will be overwhelmed of how his plan unfolds as He makes our way to Costa Rica !
We believe Him! I'm believing in the plans He's got in store for me and my household & The Brook Ministries. One day we will be looking back to marvel at the work of the Lord & all that He set in place for The Brook. It's so exciting what is happening now! I'm praising Him NOW! Pastors will come from all over the world to receive what they need from the Lord after having spent time at The Brook.
I also believe there is no accident in your reading this. What are you believing in God for?
Just remember, sometimes the teacher does no talking when the test is given out!


Mark 11:23
"Have faith in God," Jeus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself in to the sea", and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Romans 4:17
The God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

Hebrews 11:6
Without Faith it is impossible to please God

The second Journey

The second journey brings fresh purpose than ever before. The second journey begins when one recognizes that their faith must be alive & growing in wisdom. They have come to the place that they will risk failure in order to grow and that failure must be risked no matter how many times we mess things up. Without going into a great amount of lengthy detail, I've messed up so many times. Recently, I read in a book that God expects more failure from me then I do myself, & yet He still chooses to work in my weak and sinful heart, challenging me to greater faith & greater love. God's love for us is so outrageous! I don't have to grow, change, or be good to be loved.
I know there is a limited amount of time to accomplish the vision God has spurred on in my heart & has been cultivating for some time. Ready or not, HEAR it comes! He takes us as we are and doesn't condemn us. Like the prodigal son, His Father and ours welcomes us with open arms even when we haven't acknowledged our own sinful ways. We come to Him hungry and thirsty like the prodigal son who came back home just to stay alive. Our Father prepares a feast for us and is just so glad we are back.
The second journey calls me to live a life that truly counts. To have a deeper commitment of faith in God and only want what He wants and nothing more. To understand deeply His heart of love for me as I embrace it,trust it completely, and live it outside of myself wherever He brings me to share it. I must GO!

The Poor in Spirit

I was reminded of who the poor in spirit are tonight.
It wasn't the "issues" it was the honesty that brought about
the flow of Grace!
I was reminded by these teens...that are ready for the Kingdom of God
beautiful transparency from the desire to commune with God
the poor in spirit throwing themselves at the mercy of the Father.
They have owned up to their powerlessness & helplessness
are becoming to the knowledge that God is making something beautiful
out of them.
Confession is something we do not just do to be forgiven, but we do it because we are forgiven...drawing us ever closer to Jesus Christ who loved us first...sinners saved by Grace.
