"Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked." John 5:8-9   The paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda sat there for 38 years, watching everyone but himself get healed. His life teaches what to do if you want to miss your miracle. This man missed out on God's blessings because he made excuses for not getting into the pool and accepted the situation he was in. The third way he missed his miracle was his dependence on man. When Jesus asked the sick man, "Do you want to be made well," he said, "Sir, I have no man to ..read more

"By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter." Hebrews 11:24    The paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda shows us how to miss our miracle. The first way you can miss your breakthrough is to make excuses. The second mistake the paralyzed man made was accepting his situation as final. He had been in this condition for 38 years. When we have a defeated mindset, we will never believe God has called us to something greater.   You might be facing challenges and hardships, but your journey is not your destination. It's time to step out of ..read more

"When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, 'Do you want to be made well?'" John 5:6   Are you believing in God to do something supernatural in your life? We don't serve a natural God. Don't just ask for things you could orchestrate on your own. Believe in God to bless your life in an incredible and unlikely way.   In John 5, there is a story of a paralyzed man who had repeatedly been coming to the "miracle" pool of Bethesda for 38 years: year one, no breakthrough. In year two, there is still no breakthrough. For 38 ..read more

"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31    In this new year, make up your mind to pray before you proceed with any crucial decisions. Ask before you act. In Joshua 9, the Israelites formed a covenant with the Gibeonites without first consulting God. This rash decision ended up costing them many soldiers' lives. Failing to seek God's counsel during important decisions can cause you to say yes to things that will later create problems that you ma ..read more

"In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:6   In Joshua 9, the Israelites were experiencing great victories. One day, they arrived at a new territory, and that region's kings had united to fight them. But one of the groups, the Gibeonites, decided to break away from their enemy coalition. They developed a plan to wear old, worn-out clothes and approached the Israelites as if they were a city from very far away when, in fact, they were locals. Their goal was to trick Israel into making a covenant of peace with them.    Joshua 9:14 says, "Then ..read more

Make Up Your Mind To Pray (Part 3)

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16   Jesus’s prayer life teaches us some key essentials. He had a time to pray, a place to pray, and He prayed out loud. And then, notice the fourth essential from the prayer life of Jesus. He prayed for people by name. He prayed for His friends and family by name. Luke 22 says, “And the Lord said, ‘Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has desired to sift you as wheat.’” Have you ever had a burden for a loved one? Jesus had a burden in this passage. And notice what He did. Jesus called His friend’s name out. Jesus’ prayer was ..read more

Going a little farther, He fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39    Jesus gave us four essentials to have a great relationship with God. These essentials are revealed in His prayer life. Number one, Jesus had a time to pray. Number two, He had a place to pray. And the third thing was Jesus prayed out loud. Praying out loud is so important. Don’t misunderstand; sometimes, praying out loud would be inappropriate. But there is never an inappropriate time to pray silent ..read more

“But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.” Luke 5:16    We can learn four key essentials from Jesus’s prayer life. The first key essential is that He had a specific time to pray. Mark 1:35 says, “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.” He set aside time to pray, commune, and fellowship with the Father. Nothing separated Jesus from His prayer time. He was not too busy, too successful, or too active to pray. He was not too preoccupied doing things like healing the sick and castin ..read more

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14   On July 2nd, 1881, the President of the United States, James Garfield, was shot in the back by an assassin. For the next three months, while he was still conscious, the doctors tried and tried to get the bullet out. They would poke their fingers into the wound and try to dig it out to no avail. After three mont ..read more

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13    There is a sickness in the body of Christ. The church is full of parents estranged from their children. There are parents who have not spoken to their children in years. Some people sit in church every Sunday and won’t answer a phone call from their mom, dad, or sibling. The saddest thing in the world is when we don’t keep our families together. It’s heartbreaking to live in the same town as our children and not even know what’s going on in ..read more
