A Savior requires thanks. A Lord requires obedience.

On a Sunday morning at Grace Community Church, Evangelist Michael Vidulich opens 2 Corinthians 4and preaches the difference between the two. Most believers have a Savior they are grateful for.Fewer have a Lord they obey. That one distinction changes everything about what your life withGod looks like.

This is not a message about trying harder. It is about how good God is, and what He is ready todo the moment you stop coasting. God shows no favoritism, so what you have watched Him do insomeone else's life He is willing to do in yours. The devil is already underneath your feet.Jesus already made a public spectacle of him. And the truth outweighs the facts, even when thefacts have a name and a diagnosis.

Michael preaches it the way he has lived it. The restaurant he walked away from rather than leta young believer stumble. The hard phone call he made to a cousin he loves. The Sunday morninghe stood in an empty parking spot and refused to confess a loss, and what God did by noon.

If you have drifted, God has not moved. You do not have to stay a casual Christian.

Acts 20:24 (NLT)

An object at rest stays at rest. An object in motion stays in motion. Newton wrote it aboutthe physical world, and Michael Vidulich makes the case that it is just as true of your walkwith God.

Momentum does not happen to you. It gets built. And the way God builds it is the way He builtit for Joshua at the Jordan: He gives the promise first, then He gives the instruction, and theriver does not part until somebody's feet are already wet. The miracle followed the step.

From the studio, Michael and Sara walk through five principles of spiritual momentum. Momentumbegins with obedience. Small victories create great victories. Consistency creates momentum,because what you do every day shows what you love. Momentum must be protected, since it isbetter to maintain a thing than to regain it. And momentum makes difficult things easier, asone breakthrough opens the door to the next.

Along the way they share the testimony of a woman in Rockford who came into the meeting with awalker and three liters of oxygen, and walked to the altar without either.

Many people pray for open doors while refusing to take the first step. They want a miraclewithout obedience. If you have been waiting for the water to part before you move, this one isfor you.
