The Abundant Life

Trouble is a gift from God and He cannot answer your prayer until you pray them. Have you prayed about your problems? Praying is doing something about your problems! When you pray in Jesus' Name, He becomes your advocate before the Throne of God. He starts to control what you think is out of control; He does the impossible because "nothing is impossible with God!"

It is a very trying time for all Americans. If ever there is a time to have faith in God, it is right now. The author of Hebrews says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." We have evidence in Scripture that God answers prayer, so we can have faith that He will answer our prayers. Faith is not knowing God can answer prayer, but rather that God will answer your prayer! As you go through life's trials, lift up your prayer requests to God with confidence that He will answer.

In the beginning means the dateless past, when God Almighty created the heavens and the earth. At the end of Genesis 1:1, there is a complete creation! God, as creator of the earth, is the original owner. King David, Israel's prophet, poet, and warrior statesman, writes; "The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein." (Psalm 24:1).

Jesus fought for your soul. He died for your redemption. He is our King and Lord! We are the Kingdom of Light fighting the kingdom of darkness. Saint Paul commanded, "Fight the good fight, endure hardness as a good soldier!" The victory is yours!

Are you seeking great things for yourself instead of seeking to be a great person? God wants you to be in a much closer relationship with Him than simply receiving His gifts... He wants you to get to know Him! Like the master potter, He is shaping you into the vessel of honor that He has designed for you from the foundations of the earth.

Life is a continuous series of storms that shake us and shape us. When the storms of life feel like they are going to overtake you, know that God Almighty is there with you in the storm. The storms of life show us our dependence on God and show us that He will not fail us. He alone is in control. Surrender to Him today.

After creating Heaven and Earth, God sought a man who would obey His commandments and be loyal to His authority. This man was found in Abram who became known as Abraham. He was given a series of commands which were followed completely. God Almighty gave Abraham and his descendants the land of Israel, and God made a personal covenant with Abraham: "I will bless you and make your name great," (Gen. 12:2).

Going out to meet trouble is one of life's shortest walks! If you are not in trouble today, you're headed for trouble. There are all kinds of ways we get ourselves in trouble. One of the most common is by the words we say. Are you speaking life-giving or life-taking words?
