It's okay to have a bad day, or even a "no" day.

But it's not okay to try to follow Jesus while ...

The disciples didn't choose each other — they chose Jesus. But following Jesus meant being in relationship with Peter, Matthew, John, and the rest.

Imagine telling Jesus: "I want to follow you — but not with them. Just me and you, okay?"

The church was born through the Holy Spirit, the church cannot live without Him.

"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" Luke 11:13

It's not about having had an experience once with the Holy Spirit, but about being filled continually.

Noah built an ark believing it would save his family's life. It's too late to start building when it has started raining. We will never have miracle stories to share if we don't position ourselves in a place of faith. Don't wait for the miracle to come, and then move. MOVE, STEP OUT and the miracle will come!

God is the definition of Love and He created sex.

However the Bible is clear that we must live in holiness and purity and flee from lustful desires until marriage.

Even though it is difficult I want to tell you that it is POSSIBLE! Yes, it's possible to live in holiness in 2024. 

I believe we should both allow God's grace to teach us how to say no to ungodliness & set good practical boundaries to avoid finding ourselves in tempting...

"Faith without works is dead" James 2:17

By faith Noah built an ark; by faith Abraham was ready to sacrifice Isaac; by faith the prostitute Rahab welcomed the spies.

Is your faith active? The Bible says demons believe in God and they tremble. We are not called to simply believe there is a God in Heaven. We are called to have a personal relationship with God and to live a life of faith. 

As you step out in faith, trust that God's pr...

"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is SEEN was not made out of what was VISIBLE".

Genesis 1

  • The earth was formless and empty
  • Darkness was over the surface of the deep

And what was in the midst of darkness?

God's spirit! It was waiting for God to speak out in FAITH! God said "let there be light" - and there was light!

Are you living a life of faith? What are you waiting for?
