Give yourself to God, for Him to form your life daily.  Jesus was our example in how to do this, as His prayer daily was to do the will of His Father - to do and say what the Father wanted Him to do.  Let prayer be the way you connect to your heavenly Father, as He guides your life. 

Life has formed you into who you are today, but God is reshaping you into His masterpiece so He can use you for His glory.  You need to decide to be like clay in the Lord's hands, and let Him do the work in you.  As a believer in Jesus, you carry the power of God in you, and God has great plans for you to accomplish in your life,

Your words will reveal what is inside of you.  So sometimes it is wise to stay silent.   You choose what your words will be, they can be medicine or poison.  Make sure that your words are spoken with love to cover, so you build your life on the rock. Storms come to everyone, keep your words right  

Don't be a fool in the way you deal with conflicts. If we are quick to argue and carry strife, we are the fool.  The wise will stay calm and control the situation.  If you go against God's wisdom, and if you mock that there even is sin, then sin will eventually mock you.  

A fool can't control themselves.  They have no self-control over their emotions.  And if you let your emotions spill out, you will cause a mess for yourself and others.  The wise will keep their emotions calm and under control, and be patient to speak about things at the proper time and place. 

One of the worst conditions for anyone to be in, is being self-deceived. When you are self-deceived you will not be able to see yourself correctly, because you can't admit your faults. You will become unteachable.  You will think you are wise, but the Bible says -- you are a fool! Seek God for wisdom daily, and keep your heart humble -- Search me my God -- Correct me where needed!

Wisdom is when you find and do the will of God in your life. We want to have wisdom, so that we can live wisely, then we will have the best.  To walk in wisdom we need to have Spiritual Growth, we need to go after wisdom and pursue it. 

The Bible tells us, anyone in their right mind can look around and see God everywhere. We need to make sure we surround ourselves with the right people. Anyone who says "There is no God, I  do not believe" is a fool.  We have all done foolish things, that is why the Bible gives us instruction to not be like a fool. We need to choose the right path. 

When it looks like the end -- Heaven is just getting started.  The cross was a place that crushed the disciples hopes and dreams.  And as 2 of them were leaving to go back home, Jesus walked with them for 11 kilometers. They thought He was dead, but He was explaining all that God had planned was now fulfilled, and telling them the next steps.  And He is walking with you today, even if you don&apos...

It looks like Jesus doesn't care - But Jesus is in your boat. In the times the storm looks bigger than you can handle, Know Jesus is there to get you through. Having a storm does not mean you are out of God's will, or that God doesn't care. There are sometimes God allows the storms to reveal Himself in a powerful way in your life. 

When it looks like you are alone - the Lord stands with you.  You will find that human support is limited, but God's presence is not.  If you belong to Jesus, you are never by yourself, He is always with you.  Let your praise start in the middle of your difficulties, when you feel the worst.  Because you trust God to be with you and deliver you.  

What looks like not enough, God calls more than enough.  What looks like something small God can turn it into something great. Take the lack that you have in your hands and put it into God's hands.  God multiplies everything we surrender to Him.  

!! Sorry about sound issues with our podcast today !!  -- There are many times that timing is important to God. And God's timing is not always the same as we think it should be.  But in the end, the Lord is always on time and He can do greater miracles for us. When Jesus seemed to be late for Lazarus, He knew God was going to do something greater than anyone thought. Faith is not knowing the...

!! Sorry about sound issues with our podcast today !!  -- Many situations in life, what you see and what God sees are not the same. Many times God is doing the work in areas you can't see, and the end it is better than we dreamed.  It is not what it looks like to us.  What looks like sickness, isolation, defeat, weakness, punishment. Heaven says health, redemption, victory, strength, life. 

We are equipped as individuals, but we are also equipped as a church when we all come together. Jesus has give the church gifts, the Spirit has given the church gifts, but we all fit together as a church family when we each do our part.  The Lord equips His church. 

When God calls you He equips you.  But God will rarely equip you with all you need at the beginning.  When God supplies He is usually not early, but He is never too late.  In the story of Abraham and Isaac we see how Abraham's obedience and faith released great blessing.  And we also see the a beautiful picture of God offering His own Son on the cross.  

God will equip you for the victory, but God will also equip you for the recovery.  We can see from Elijah's life, even when fulfilling our calling, that there can come times of exhaustion or depression when we have given out all we have to give.  But God will meet us in the low places to bring us out with new purpose, and equip us for what is next.  

We need to simply believe God when He tells us that He will equip us for our future. God doesn't hold anything from you, He has given us everything in His grace.  We access all that is in grace by faith.  Our faith and God's mercy, release all that grace contains.  

The Word of God will equip you, but it is the Spirit of God that will empower you.  We have the Word to tell us the promises of God, but we need the Spirit to activates the promises.  The Spirit and the Word work together to equip you for life. 

The Word of God has been given to us by God, and it is what can equip us if we get into it with an open heart.  The Word will teach you, rebuke, correct, train you in righteousness, and encourage you!  The Word will point you to a relationship with Jesus.  

God has equipped us with everything we need to get through this life and make a difference.  We should do our best in the natural, but believe God for His supernatural.  Here is a reminder of some of the ways God has equipped us in life.  

The greatest reward for us as believers in Jesus, is heaven.  Heaven will be beautiful, more than you can imagine.  We need to think about heaven and talk about heaven more.  As we do, it will help us find our position and responsibility in this life.  The most important thing we can do, is help others find their way HOME!

Your reward is here now, but it is also there in heaven.  But we need to fight and be disciplined, so that we build our life on the foundation of Jesus.  We want to have a reward to give to Jesus when we get to heaven.  Train to run, and God will bless your life! 

Godly mom's are to be honored and valued, as they give their best to raise their children.  This Mother's Day message encourages mom's, as we look at Mary the mother of Jesus, to look to her example as a godly mother. 

You need to know that there is an enemy who wants to destroy your life.  But you also have a God who will always give you the victory.  When you give God your life, and serve Him, He will reward you. Never give up, never lose your confidence - the Lord is faithful to do what He promised!
