Regardless of the problem or the issue. Regardless of the hardship or loss. At all times and in all circumstances, if you have Christ, you have The UPPER HAND.

Young or old, male or female ---- every believer has a personal responsibility to defend the house of the Lord from any and all enemies by keeping the Lord's House the Lord's House and by keeping with the Purpose of the Lord's House.

There is work to be done! & Contrary to popular opinion and accepted assumption; the work is not for the pastors to do but for everyone in Christ to do.

We live in a world that grades & gauges significance, worth, & importance based on numbers. The more followers you have and likes you get — the more important you are. The more money you have — the more you are worth. The more people that come — the more significant you are. But we belong to a Kingdom that is built on a principle and a promise that regardless of what we are up against and despite all that we are facing...regardless of the how it looks and despite being outnumbered --- it ONLY takes ONE.

Even in our most complacent moments and our most lethargic times, God is seeking after us. God is drawing near to us. God is knocking on the door of our hearts and this is where our HUNGER all starts. Its not with us, but with Him.

Many times in life we remain unaware that despite the words we are speaking to another person, our expression is saying something completely different. Whether we recognize it or not, this reality regularly transitions into our faith and is especially visible in the songs we sing and the prayers we pray, and thus our relationship with the Lord. We sing and pray one thing, but our expression says something completely different. To HUNGER for the Lord is to put our words and EXPRESSION in sync: because there is is POWER in EXPRESSION.

There are times in life when we determine the measure of God in our lives and for our lives, based upon how much or how little we have. What we have to realize is LITTLE is MUCH in the HANDS of Jesus and that He can do MUCH with our LITTLE; all we have to do is BRING it to Him.

Often times we size up and qualify the outcome of seasons, scenes, and situations of life based upon how the 'numbers' appear on paper, even before anything happens; thereby devaluing, degrading, and diminishing powerful moments for God to come thru and move in our lives. Its in times like these that we think 'theres not enough' or 'there are very few of us', but what we have to realize is that there is POWER with just a FEW.
