We all want, what we want, when we want it. But we don’t have the complete view. God does. And sometimes we need to go through situations, or delays, that we don’t want, because they’re necessary, for the next step. A lot of people want to have a chiseled, in-shape body, but not many want…
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. -2 Timothy 1:7
I have nothing to add. I just wanted to remind you of this verse today. -Steinar
The answer is always, go to God.
If you have a need, go to God. If you’re in a tough situation, go to God. If you have a big decision to make, go to God. If you need healing, go to God. God is always the answer. God is greater than anything we can imagine. God wants to walk with you and…
Don’t respond in kind, be kind.
How do you respond when you’re stabbed in the back? When someone lashes out at you? When someone takes advantage of you? When someone yells at you? Most people behalf in an expected way. They respond in kind. A stab for a stab. A yell for a yell. It’s so reflexive in people, which makes…
Expectant prayers, are faith-filled prayers.
Pray with expectancy. Pray with anticipation. That’s praying with faith! And faith is what pleases God. Faith is what moves God. Pray, believing. Pray, with conviction. Pray, with faith that God will move on your behalf, and show Himself mighty. He will! Don’t go through the motions. Don’t pray to check a box of, “yes,…
Make decisions based on peace, not logic.

But, if you don’t have that inner peace, when thinking about making that decision… it’s the wrong decision. We take in the…
Heaven is greater than we can imagine.
“… “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”” -1 Corinthians 2:9, NLT Imagine what you think heaven might be like. That thought is a drop of water in the ocean, to what God has prepared for you in heaven. The…
Use your God-given gifts (what comes naturally to you), to live out your God-given purpose.
You are full of purpose. You are full of great God-given gifts. You were created exactly like God wanted you to be created. You were created to do great things for God’s glory. What comes naturally to you? What is easy for you to do, but a struggle for others to do? That’s a sign.…
Live thankful, and you’ll live joyful.
You can choose to live grateful or you can choose to live envious. You can choose to be filled with thanksgiving or you can choose to be jealous of others. You can choose positive, encouraging thoughts, or you can choose negative, defeating thoughts. One path will fill you with joy… one path will make you…
Your daily life, is your greatest testimony.
Is there something different about you? Is there something that makes people who come in contact with you, think, I want the joy they have. It’s been said before, but the greatest preaching, isn’t words, its actions… it’s how we live our lives. Your faith comes across much stronger in the way you live your…
