Experiencing God | HUNGRY FOR GOD | 1/29/2023

Is the Christian life for you like shaking a Christmas globe—watching the winters snow swirl and settle—never really experiencing it?
I’m asking you and challenging myself to not be content any longer with a snow-globe Christian life.  No longer on the outside looking in. No longer will I be satisfied with other’s stories or Christianity from long ago. I want my own stories about God’s miracles, signs and wonders.

Eager to Prophesy | HUNGRY FOR GOD | 1/22/2023

Prophecy is important to our faith in Christ because it shows that God has complete control over history and future. That what God says He will do will come to pass.
The gift of prophesying is understanding and communicating God’s will and God’s activity, God’s “mysteries and knowledge,” to people. 
Prophecy is what God has said He is doing and going to do.

Living Lavishly Towards God | HUNGRY FOR GOD | 1/15/2023

Right now, you possess things that belong to God. Your time, your energy, your talent, your resources, God loaned it all to you to manage. 
And in your stewardship of His things, He says to sow these seeds – not to dogs. Don’t put something that is valuable out to the pigs—where they will trample it.

The Process | HUNGRY FOR GOD | 1/8/2023

You need to know that God works in processes. Your life is a process. And everything going on in your life is about the process.
How you dine spiritually is part of the process for your eternal life. Feeding your spiritual body on God and His nutrition for your spiritual life is essential.

Introduction | HUNGRY FOR GOD | 1/1/2023

If you partake in the things of the world, you will crave the things of the world. And if you partake in the things of God, you will begin to crave the things of God.
As you begin this year, what if you decide today that you are going to begin having a healthy diet of God in your life?

Grace Sent You a Message | RE-ROUTE MY THINKING | 12/18/2022

As we move into the week approaching Christmas, the message of Christmas is either life, or death to you. Jesus arriving was such a threat to the world that doesn’t want God, that the mere mention of His name to them is offensive and asking for conflict.
But to others, who actually understand what God has done, who reroute their thinking to truly see what He did by coming into this world for us, HIS COMING IS LIFE!

Manger Moments | RE-ROUTE MY THINKING | 12/11/2022

Manger Moments are those times that you are most vulnerable, confused, lonely, wondering where God is, and know that the direction of your life is way different than you thought it was going to go—and there is nothing you can do about it. 
Manger Moments are those opportunities to show God you love Him.

Making a Change for the Better | RE-ROUTE MY THINKING | 12/4/2022

God is a loving Father, a good Father. And good Fathers reward their children. Good Fathers are there to bless their children along the way. But when a child is heading the wrong direction in life, good Fathers also withhold a blessing until they see their child make a change for the better.
God will never stop inspiring you to do better, be better, live better, love more.

Mirror, Mirror | RE-ROUTE MY THINKING | 11/27/2022

Like the Evil Queen, all too often we look into the mirror to find the answers to life that we want. 
But in reality, all we find in the mirror is our problem with life—ourselves.
If all you are doing is looking into the mirror to figure out your life, you will be a most miserable person.
The truth is, the way to enjoy who you are is by forgetting about yourself and loving others. Let go of yourself, give yourself up to God. 

Thankful for Scriptures | 11/20/2022

Today I want to do something a different for our approach to Thanksgiving. BibleStudyTools.com has put out a list of the top 20 Scriptures that were searched online throughout this year and we are going to read those Scriptures today.
These Scriptures reflect a lot about our hopes, needs, and relationship with God.
