Often when people loose their site, their sense of "feel" increases helping them to function. However, when we loose our spiritual sight, we shouldn't rely on our feelings.  Why? Because feelings are unreliable and we don't know the source of them.  We should keep our eyes on the Word of God that is the Truth and 100% reliable.

When Jesus tells us to "bear the cross", He didn’t mean the cross as some burden we must carry in our lives.  It means that we are to "die" to the things that will keep us from Him.  Bearing the cross will bring us closer to Christ, follow in His steps, allow us to become a part of a greater work, and change our lives forever.

There are times in life when we may feel that God is completely silent.  We are left wondering, is He absent, can we trust us, and is He working in our lives.  It is then, we must know that God wants us to seek solitude, surrender to His will, and be diligent in our belief that He is working it all out for us.

Most of us are much more concerned with impressing other people than we are with pleasing God. Since we know that man looks at the outward appearance, we spend much more effort taking care of the things man looks at. But when we determine to be God’s choice, then we will set our hearts on pleasing God.

What proves the Resurrection? The Bible...plain and simple. But what does the Resurrection prove? It proves that we have access to an unlimited power, through Christ, that is not hindered even by death. Calvary (the cross) showed the love of God, but Resurrection demonstrated the power of God. Are you connected to the Power?

Even after our greatest triumph in God, we can find ourselves quivering in fear due to a message from the enemy. We may feel as though the journey has gotten to hard to go on, but we must know that God gives us provision for this life's journey.  Just as He had Elijah eat the bread and drink the water, we too can eat the bread life (Word of God) and drink the water (Holy Spirit) to help us sustain.

In life we can endure a lot, and even after seeking help find ourselves worse than before.  However, it always depends on who we are seeking for help.  When we seek God, then He is ever faithful to support us.

We as Christians are a part of a covenant of revelation relationship.  We are covenant partners with God and therefore share in His power (Word), purpose (Will), and presence (Wealth). However, as a covenant, it comes with a condition and that is obedience.  It is our duty, a show of faith, and empowers our witness.  The best part is God will help us to obey Him.

When God is about to reposition your life, know that the devil will begin to attack.  But know that God isn’t surprised by the attack; what He said He would do He will do.  When the storms come, we must get our mind right, rest in the promises of God, and keep going forward. A challenge can make you stop, or it can make you unstoppable.
