Matt and Tracey

  How do you become blessed by God?  Matt goes over the exact way to be blessed! 

    How are you racing in life? See, all of us are at a race in life. We can either be in the race and driving, we can be at the pit stop but just stayed there, or we can be sitting in the bleachers just watching the race.  

   Wanting More, is it right or wrong?  It depends on what it is that you want more of. Be careful what you are chasing because you may get something that you weren't planning on or expecting.  Listen to this devotional to find out what can happen when you want more of the wrong thing.  

   Jesus said "Come Follow Me." There is more to that statement than what first appears on the surface.  It's easy to say yes initially, until you start looking deep into your heart.  Listen and see if you are truly willing to follow Jesus.  

    King David was known as a man after God's own heart, yet he had a flawed track record.  Some of his decisions were less than admirable like having a man killed because David had slept with his wife and he didn't want to get caught.  That is the big one that most people know about, but there are many other times that David sinned against God. So how could he be a m...

   "If Only..."  We can end that sentence in so many ways, all normally with a regret that we had.  Satan loves to beat us up with guilt and regret, but there is no condemnation in Christ.  Yes, we all make bad decisions, but God does not want those bad decisions paralyzing us.  Listen to this message to help you move past those bad decisions. 

   Have you had a bad day, a bad week, maybe a bad year?!  God wants you to call out to Him and He will answer you, but not only that He will show great things that you don't know!  Here's some encouragement for those tough times! 

   When we come to Jesus we have to give Him everything first.  We can't just say He is our Savior and Master, and then try to continually take matters into our own hands.  Listen how we can give our swords to Jesus first.  

    All the great heroes of the Bible had to go through this one character perfecter before God used them greatly.  When God plans to use you in a great way you can expect a little boot camp ahead of time.  

   Faith has a great reward that follows it, and that's not just getting to go to Heaven!  Listen on and find out how God rewards those who believe in Him and have faith in Him.  

   Why will God give us a promise and then circumstances look as if it is not going to happen?  Because God wants to build your faith while pointing all the glory to Him.  God wants you to know that He can do the impossible. 

  There are times when God will ask something so huge of us that we are positive that we can do it.  However, God knows our humanity and will encourage us to let us know that He will be with us in what He asks us to do.  God sees us how we will become, not how we are right now. 

    Most of the time we can do things that God asks us to do, even if we don't really like it. However, when God asks us to "just" wait, it seems like one of the hardest things to do.  Here is some great encouragement to get through those "waiting" times.  

    Dried up bones. We know that there used to be something with those bones, but now that something is dead. Can dried up bones come back to life? Of course not, unless God speaks a Word and then they can not only arise but they can become a real person with life again.  God is able to do that which is impossible for man.  He can speak life into a person's life when...

   Have you ever heard "To lose is Gain"?  Maybe not, well with God if He tells you to ditch something that you have paid for then you better ditch it.  We might think we need to keep a hold of something because we paid money for it, but we will actually end up losing even more if we don't listen to what God is telling us.  This is a great message on how God can make...

   Jealousy is something that can be hidden in many ways and then slowly creep up on you without you realizing it.  You want to be aware of a jealous spirit in your life, and to deal with it as soon as God makes it known to you.  Matt has a great story about 2 eagles and one of them that has a jealous spirit.  Find out what happens! 

  Too many times people want to slap labels on others and predict their future of what they will do with their lives.  Nobody has that fore knowledge but God Himself.  Colonel Sanders, founder of KFC, is a fantastic example of pushing past those "false prophets" over his life and letting God determine his future!  Be encouraged by listening to this devotional.  

   There are times in life when something will rattle us to the point where we are afraid, almost paralyzed with fear.  But God hasn't given us that spirit of fear.  Matt tells us how to step forward with God and focus on Him and not our circumstances.  

  How do we bring glory to God. Matt goes over several ways that might surprise you! 

  The ongoing debate of Creation vs Evolution is a heated one.  Matt summarizes it up to a more simplistic version that makes it a little more understandable without the all the technical jargon.  

  Watch out for sins that trip you up after a great victory. Presumption overtakes our confidence and we can sometimes make the grave mistake of bounding ahead without consulting God.  There are things that God knows that He could have warned us about if we had consulted Him ahead of time.  Here is a great warning to all of us about being careful. 

   Sometimes in life we are asking the wrong questions. We are looking at others around us and wondering why certain things happened to them, but there is a more pertinent question that we should be asking.  Listen or Watch how Jesus turns a question around from something obscure to something directly affecting each individual.  

   Many times we think if we cover something that we did that no one will know about it.  However, God sees everything and will expose those things that we try to conceal. 

    When God speaks a word to you and it's a promise, it is as good as done!  However, when that promise seems to take much longer than what we were anticipating, we start to figure out the things that we have to do to help God out. God will keep us on a "Need to Know" basis so we don't try to mastermind how it is that we should make that promise come into existence. &nbsp...

   It may surprise you to know that God has a No Judgment Zone.  He does not like us to make ourselves judge, jury, and executioners of others that we encounter in our lives. Here is a reminder of how we should look at others and why.
