God uses all kinds of circumstances to get our attention, but whatever He uses, our job is to be ready to stop and listen.

Nobody wants crisis. All of us are going to experience it. So don’t waste a crisis. Wasting a crisis is when it doesn’t drive you to the one who is Lord over the crisis.

Jesus is never too busy to help us with those things that prevent us from being free and healed. He sees you.

When we obey the words of Jesus, it positions us for the Spirit to forever change us.

We may not be able to predict the timing of an encounter with the Spirit, but we can wait with expectancy.

We all need to be changed, but sometimes we don't know what we need God to change. Even though Jesus knows what Bartimaeus needs, He still asks Bartimaeus what he wants Him to do. Jesus wants to change us as we follow Him.

What would make it worth not letting anything get in the way, pressing through any obstacle that might present itself, staying the course for as long as it took?

If encounters with other people have the potential to change the trajectory of our lives, then imagine what’s possible when we encounter the maker of all reality, the one who loves us deeply. We could be forever changed.

Jesus has the power to heal: physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally. Do you believe this?

Jesus says not to worry because we are more valuable than we know. Jesus' words are an invitation to freedom to live with a spirit of generosity.
