Matt and Tracey

Sometimes we just want to observe what God is doing, we aren't even thinking about participating.  But there are times that God has plans for us that really take us by surprise, instead of us just observing He brings us not only into the game but makes us the star quarterback!

  God's process for us getting to a season of harvesting can be very difficult, but when we finally get to that desired season of where we gather the blessings it all seems worth it in the end!  God wants to get you ready to move on to the harvest!

   When God's children suffer shame and mourning, God has the promise to not only restore them, but to restore them double!  

  When you have a victory in your life, how do you respond?  Do you pat yourself one the back and say "Good job!"  Do you let others applaud you? Do you give all the credit for giving you that victory?  When you respond correctly to victories in life; as a result, God continues to fling those doors open for you.  

    Old wine skins and new wine skins, it was a thing in the Bible.  People used wine skins like we use sports bottles, and other jugs.  When those tumblers and sports bottles have seen better days, we replace them. Well, God wants us to do the same thing with bad habits, bad relationships, bad attitudes, and stuff we just don't need.  Listen how making room for...

Sometimes we allow ourselves to walk into a jail cell, have the door locked, and then hand the keys over to the enemy.  We do that by justifying some of our choices, and think that we are fine because we haven't seen any consequences in our lives yet.  Listen to this Mornings, to see if you might have done this in your life, but also hear how you can break free and live an abundant life!

    Do you know God, or better yet, would God say that you know Him?   When trouble comes, is God your refuge? 

Do you have a zeal for Christ, or are you afraid?

   It's one thing to say that you are led by the Spirit of God, but it's whole other thing to put it into practice. How can we do that, how can we have the Spirit lead us in the right choices every day?  Listen or watch this devotion to find out the answer to that question.  

  Are you more like cast iron or Play Dough?  The one that you want to be like may surprise you.  

  Do you know what it is like to be between a rock and a hard place? Well, God can make a way when everything around you looks like there is no way.  

Don't you like to know who you are in a fight with if you're in a battle?  Well, there is one contender that many of us don't even realize exists but he's battling you all of the time.  

   Proverbs 16 tells us how to walk with God and to know how to make plans with God.  We can make plans, but only God knows which plans are the right plans.  

    Are you available for God to use?  Can you honestly say within your heart that you want God to send you where ever He chooses?

Don't be tricked into thinking there is only one way to do something and if it doesn't happen the way you think, then it's not going to happen.  

  There is a saying, It's not how you start it's how you finish.  Matt goes over a great king in the Bible, but even though he started out great he ended up not finishing great.  There are some great principles to learn from this story.  

Sometimes we will do something that we know isn't right, but when time goes by and it doesn't seem like anything has happened we feel like we got away with it.  However, God sees everything and there is always a pay day, just not when you think.   

  So many times we are striving after the wrong things in life.  Once we put our focus on the right things, everything else falls into place! 

  Many times we unconsciously are holding others to a higher standard that what we are holding ourselves to.  However, we wouldn't want someone else holding us to that same standard that we project on to others. Listen to today's devotional to find out how to resolve this flaw within our own lives.  

   What does unshakable faith look like?  It's probably not something we can imagine, so listen or watch Matt go over this story about unshakable faith in the Bible regarding a person that you probably don't know, but had such unwavering faith that he made into the gospels!  

   Sometimes we don't think about how good God is to us.  We forget to praise Him in all the little things that He does in our lives along with all the huge things.  Here's a great reminder! 

   There are those who give up too easy and then there are those who push through no matter what, even if they're being insulted!  Here is a great example in the Bible of a woman who pursues Jesus to get Him to help her daughter even though she is not Jewish.  She gets turned down not once or twice, but a few times and is also insulted.  Does she storm off, give up, o...

     We all need people to help us along the way, to mentor us, to disciple us, and to give us godly counsel.  But do you know that we also need to be that to others?  There are people in our lives that we can influence in either a positive way or a negative way.  Listen to this devotion to get some insight as to how we can impact other peoples lives. 

   Sometimes we doubt that God actually hears us when we are praying, especially if we are in dire need of an answer.  Listen to today's message for encouragement to know God hears you.  

  A question most never ask is what does the Lord require of me?  The answer may surprise you.
