As we pray through the Lord’s prayer today, let God stir your heart. When we pray we are connected in Spirit, let’s seek where God wants to move in and through us together. Remember His goodness, and pray boldly for God for our world, nation, communities, and families in prayer. I challenge you to find a Scripture of promise and take hold of it all week. Read Romans this week with me!

Scripture Reference:

Matthew 6:9-13

Do you expect your commitments to cost you? Hannah's did, and she honored it. Her obedience was the catalyst for change and her prayer was the first prophecy of our Savior.

The Kingdom of God is growing with every obedient move and every faith filled prayer we make. Be in active pursuit of His moves(for you). Don't expect God to choose another, He wants you. I encourage you to pay the cost of obedience and flood the earth with His kingdom.

1 Samuel 2:1-10

Have you ever wept bitterly, cried out like it hurts so bad because nothing but an act of God can fix it? In Hannah’s story, she had only one answer, God. When we humble ourself and give everything to God He moves. We must realize that He cares extravagantly for us. Peter says, cast your anxieties before Him. Even when it takes time and we have to remind ourselves God has perfect timing. Just stay surrendered to Him. I challenge you to be willing to listen and ask God what He wants to do with the good and the bad you surrender to Him

Ep 141 summary:

Have you ever been in the presence of a miracle? When the Dicsciples were first called they experienced the miracle of a literal boat load of fish and through that realized who they wanted to spend their time following. Peter realized who Jesus was that day and gave up his source of income to be wherever Jesus was. This miracle, like all others, was a tool to show them who God is. I challenge you to seek out where God is today and be there. Push aside the things getting in your way and spend time with God.

Like my campers, I encourage you to buddy up, get some Holy-Spirit-aid, and stack days in the Word with your Savior. We are each called to reach people around us, especaily our family, and to encourage them. Let's run this race focused on the finishline and bring everyone we can with us!

Episode 139 Summary:

Do you believe that God wants you to be free? No weight, chain, shame or lie has power under the new covenant. We often process reality through old views without weighing them against His Word. The enemy wants to wreak a lot of havoc but we can unlock the chains we put on ourselves in Jesus name! I challenge you to declare that you are free today and  access the throne room. Lets do some business with God and go after it.

Is shame paralyzing you? I was recently frustrated in my relationship with God, only to find out I was believing a lie. We all can take hold of some hurtfull things and while we believe them we become slaves, bonded by a worldly ideal or surrendering our freedom to pride. Check in with Gods Word about what you believe and flee your temptations. Let's bring our problems to the Lord because they are legally payed for by His blood.

Checking in on you mid-year, let’s walk this out together! 😀 What are you thankful for and what are you pursuing this year? Take time to celebrate your pursuit of Him. What we are called to be outranks where we are by 100 fold. Let's grow in our knowledge and active pursuit of Jesus. The moment by moment choices and the faith we place in Him is what determines where we grow. Let us put aside what is distracting us and focus on God.
