Imagine God using you, right where you are, with whatever skills you have to do extraordinary things for Him. That is the story of the last 7 years of Chuck's life but it's not just about the last 7 years. Like you, Chuck is where he's at today because he is where God wants him to be. This episode will see you inspired and encouraged and you too will leave it ready to pray big prayers and to ask God to do big things for Him. A truly blessed story that has many of miles to go. 

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
 and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
 and he will make your paths straight

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
 he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
 and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

1Corinthians1 5-7

5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

AT the EYFPodcast we love to hear a good testimony as there is nothing better than to hear about what God has done in the life of another believer. Today we bring you the story of Sarah and how God moved her mother-in-law in ways not thought possible. 

What would you rather have? A fight or avoiding a fight? A battle or the avoidance of a battle? Instead of asking God for strength in a battle, how about asking God to help you avoid the battle entirely? Today we finish the last part of the Prayer of Jabez where we examine the verse that asks for God to keep evil away from me so as to not cause me pain (or cause pain to others). We know that the way we fight as Christians is on our knees and that the victory is the Lord's so maybe simply asking for God to keep the evil one away from you might be the best thing. 

When your kids were young you made it a point to hold their hand whenever you felt an extra layer of security was necessary. Since we know that God is the Good, Good Father, how much more does he seek to put His hand upon us as he watches our actions. Embrace Him. Embrace God's divine grip in your lives. We at EYFPodcast recommend hanging onto God's hand like your life depended on it, because it does.  

In our second of the 4 part series on the Prayer of Jabez we discuss the concept of "Enlarging our Borders" and what we believe God meant when He put this in the bible. God is a God of Grace, a God of Goodness and is a Good, Good, Father. See what you might have in store when you ask God to Enlarge your borders.

Join us for a week long exploration into 1 Chronicles 4: 9-10, the Prayer of Jabez. In addition to giving an overview of the prayer today we dive in to the idea of "Bless me Indeed!" as we seek to gain God's favor over our lives.
