Pass It On !

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God.
2 Timothy 1:5–6, NIV
Pass It On
The apostle Paul mentored a young man named Timothy who had gotten discouraged in his ministry. Paul wrote to him: “Stir up your gifts. Fan the flame. Get your passion back. Keep the faith.” And he reminded Timothy that when he did, his faith was not just making his life better, but it would impact his children and grandchildren just as the faith of Timothy’s grandmother and mother impacted him. Every time you stand strong, do the right thing when it’s hard, and believe for your dreams even though circumstances are against you, you’re making it easier on your children and grandchildren. It’s not just personal; it’s generational.

That should inspire us to live a life of faith. You’re making it better for your children and grandchildren. You’re making sure they have a foundation of faith, knowing that we serve an awesome God, that He can take them places they’ve never dreamed, that He can heal them, that He can sustain them in a storm, that He can bring gifts out of them that they don’t know they have. Keep the faith and pass it on.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your goodness in my life, the amazing things You have done. Thank You that I can shake off the blahs, fan the flames, and stir up my gift. I believe You are restoring my passion, and I believe that You are making an impact on the people in my life through my faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

Listen Up!

"After the earthquake a fire, but Adonai was not in the fire. After the fire there was a soft whisper of a voice."   (1 Kings 19:12) Listen Up! Listening is a lost art today. We can be so concerned about expressing our thoughts and opinions that we don't listen closely to others—or even to God. If we're not careful, distractions and busyness can drown out the voice that matters most in our lives, the voice of our heavenly Father. The good news is that you can learn to tune out the negative noise of the world and start listening for God's voice, for hopeful, positive, faith-filled thoughts. Be receptive and listen for His still, small voice on the inside of you. God speaks not only through the Bible but also through godly counsel and His Holy Spirit. All it takes is a simple prayer like the one Samuel prayed in 1 Samuel 3:10 when he said to God, "I am listening." Then be ready to listen for His answer. A Prayer for Today "God, than...
