Who can take a hopeless situation and turn it around? Only God!
Who can bring healing when the Dr.'s have given up? Only God!
Who can give strength when the journey has become long? Only God!
Who can bring peace when no peace can be found? Only God!

10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;
O LORD, be my help."

11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
Psalm 30:10-12

My God is a Reverser of Destiny. No matter what we see with our eyes, what we hear, what we feel; God is working in the heavenlies on our behalf and will use it to bring Him glory.

I am believing in Him!

God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is
faithful. 1 Corinthians 1:9

Does that verse ring true with you? Just reading it stirs up something deep within my soul. It's a beautiful picture of my relationship with the Lord. Who was the initiator? God! He called me! He pursued me. His desire was for me.

Why? Because at the very center of His being, God loves. His desire is for us to enter into a wonderful love relationship with Him, through fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Though life may take it's dips and turns, if you ask me to describe God in just one word, my word would be faithful. He is faithful to love, faithful to forgive, faithful to protect, faithful to restore, faithful to meet our needs. He is all of that and so much more. He is faithful.

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. Deuteronomy 7:9

This past week has been a very full one. Sunday afternoon I headed to Indianapolis to spend the night with a girlfriend before beginning a heavily scheduled week of work in the Home Office.

Each morning began with three hours of training as the instructor literally read to us from a 6 inch binder describing the inner workings of a computer language I need to learn. As you can imagine it was thrilling.

Each afternoon for three and a half hours I led a group of Systems Analysts and Business partners through the steps of defining a new credit card application for our Payment Entry System.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with
power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell
in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21

How can I do the things that I do? It's all God my friend! It's all Him! I didn't finish college but instead got married to a man in ministry at the age of 19. And yet God had a plan for my life that included great opportunities.

With His hand guiding me, I have been able to accomplish things I never would have dreamed of even trying. With His strength I have endured and grown through trying times. With His love I have been fully established and my feet have been set firm. With Him leading and guiding, all things are possible.

This one thing I do know, no matter what my future may hold, I trust the One who holds my future. He is so worthy! He is a loving Father! I am believing in Him.

For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" Galatians 2:19-21

One thing I know for certain, and this I truly believe, Jesus did not die "for nothing".

• I have lied.
• I have cheated.
• I have stolen.
• I have gossipped.
• I have spoken angry, hurtful words against others.
• I have had idols in my life.
• I have....., (and the list can go on far too long).

The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death is death". It's what I deserve. The verse goes on to say, "but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I deserve death and Hell. I earned it. I chose to disobey God. But by His grace, because of what Jesus did on the cross, I get to choose something different. God said, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

• I choose forgiveness.
• I choose to turn from my way and follow Him.
• I choose the righteousness of Christ.
• I choose grace.
• I choose life.

I choose to believe God, to take Him at His Word, and to walk by faith.

How about you? Who or what are you placing your faith in? Only Jesus can save.

I believe God for my future.

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this. Psalm 37:3-5

My desire is to do good.
My desire is to dwell in the land.
I want to enjoy safe pasture.
I love to delight in the Lord.

I must commit at a deeper level.
I must trust and obey.
No more walking in the shallow.
The deep place is where I must dwell.

Father, I am believing You. Take me to the deep place. I know the road may be hard, the path narrow. I must commit and not settle. I trust You to do this!

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Cor. 9:6-8

Today I just want to take a few moments and give praise to my Faithful God.

This last year has been full of challenges, but God has been Faithful. There have been times when the enemy would come and whisper in my ear, "You can't afford to give that. Where is it going to come from?" Sowing seeds of fear, hoping they would take root.

And yet I knew down deep in the bottom of my soul, God has always been Faithful to provide for my every need.

This week He has done it again. We have been blessed financially in an unexpected way. As I sit here and think about it, tears fill my eyes. What love! I feel so unworthy. Any yet He loves, abundantly, overflowing, endlessly.

Throughout His word He says,

• Ask - and I'll answer.
• Seek - and you'll find.
• Knock - and the door will be opened.
• Give - and it will be given to you.
• Share - and I will bless.
• Go - and I will go with you.
• Trust - and I will be found faithful.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your
love and faithfulness. Psalm 115:1

So today I give Him the Glory. The Glory only He deserves. I will continue to walk by faith, and not by sight. You are MY GOD and I will forever love and trust You!

1 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them," 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. Deuteronomy 13:1-4

• Allah is not God.
• Budah is not God,
• Reverend Moon is not God.
• Lao-Tse is not God,
• Brahman is not God.
• Hare Krishna is not God.

Yahweh (or Jehovah) means literally, "He who will be". He is the God of the Bible is the one true God.

• He was before the foundations of the Earth.
• He is the I Am of my daily life.
• He forever will be my God.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. " John 14:5

• I Love Him!
• I Follow Him!
• I Revere Him!
• I Obey Him!
• I Serve Him!
• I will Hold Fast to Him for all of eternity!

I am trusting God for my salvation. No one or nothing else.

1 The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. Psalm 93:1-2

When the news headlines read of tsunami's, earthquakes, U.S. terror targets and economic woes, I am so grateful to know that the "world is firmly established and it cannot be moved".

God is in control! Nothing that is taking place has taken God by surprise. I don't need to worry. I don't need to fret. My God is on the throne! My faith is in Him alone. I am believing God for His protection, provision, and in His promises!

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

I am believing God this week for my brother. Although he was raised in the same household and by the same parents as my sister and I - the path he chose to follow was much different.

My hearts desire is for my brother to return to the Lord. His wife is also not a believer. My prayer is that she would trust Jesus for her salvation.

I know that these requests are also on the heart of the Father. Will you join me in praying for Jeff & Maureen? I am believing God on their behalf - that He will move on their hearts and that they will respond with YES!

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.  Proverbs 22:6

My hearts desire is for my son Jonathan to be a Mighty Man of God.  I want him to:

Love the Lord (his) God with all (his) heart and with all (his) soul and with all (his) mind and with all (his) strength.  Mark 12:30

...say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2

...stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.  1 Corinthians 15:58

I want these things and so much more.  I want there to be a burning passion in his heart for the things of God, the people of God, the Word of God. 

Father,  before He was even born we gave Him back to you.  As parents made a commitment to raise Him according to You Word and Your precepts.  At the age of 7 he gave his heart to you.  I've seen him grow and flourish into a fine young man.  Lord, grow him to be a Mighty Man of God.  Give us the wisdom as parents to guide him.  Show Him the path You would have him to go.  Guard his heart and protect him from the evil one.  Do great things through Him that will bring you glory ~ Amen.

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20

How's your faith? Do you have any mountains that need moving? What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of this verse? Is it a sick loved one who needs healing? How about a financial need you have no way to meet? Is your child wandering far from the Lord? What is your mountain?

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

Lord, I praise your Holy Name! You Oh Lord, are in the mountain moving business. When we seek You, we find You. When we call to You, You answer. You are working and moving, even when we cannot yet see. Lord, I believe in You and I believe You! I am looking to the sky, waiting for the mountain to get out of the way. I love You and take great delight in You! You are my God!

Since last Saturday's Beth Moore Simulcast I have been just pleasantly stuck on Psalm 37. I guess maybe for the first time I realized that God truly does delight in me. Doesn't that sound crazy for someone who has been a believer for 36 years?

4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
23 If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

This week there has been such joy in my heart as I truly took delight in my God. And at the same time I realized that while I was taking delight in God, He was taking delight in me. Before long my heart would find itself having a delight-fest going on. That reciprocal delight made my heart feel like it was overflowing. I can't hardly put it into words.

This week I am believing God for the desires of my heart. Those things in the past that I was too afraid to believe could actually be. I am no longer willing to hold back. I Believe God! I believe His Words are true.

Beth said, "If joy was a smile, delight would be a laugh!" Until my faith becomes sight, I choose to delight in my God - with a smile and a laugh that will make people wonder what I'm up to. It will give me a chance to tell them about my Lord.

Oh No! I got so excited about leaving for the Beth Moore Simulcast that I forgot to post SSOF. I`ll attempt to do so from my phone.

Last night she shared a prayer of commitment that resonated with my heart.

Lord. Grant me a heart to delight in you. Be my greatest joy. Bring out the person in me who can no longer hold back. I want to have that joy, that unbridled love.

I am believing God. How about you?

Please leave a comment and I will link everyone up when I get home.

This week I just want to share a bit of scripture without much comment and let God's word speak to each of us from Psalm 19

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

I have found the Word of God to be all of these things - perfect, trustworthy, right, radiant, pure, sure, precious and sweet. I believe Gods Word! I believe God!

He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." Acts 16:30-31

What a promise from the Bible. A promise that I believe with my whole heart. It was when I was 9 years of age that I made my first step of faith believing that Jesus died for me. Not only did He die for me; He arose from the grave victorious over death and Hell. Today He lives in Heaven and is interceding for me.

Because of what Jesus did; because I have repented of my sin and placed my faith and trust in Him, when I die I believe Heaven will be my home for all of eternity.

At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then
immediately he and all his family were baptized. The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole family. Acts 16:33-34

Just like the jailer, my heart is filled with joy knowing that I believe in God and that I believe God.

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10

As we read the headlines of the day or watch the evening news, it becomes abundantly clear that our world is stumbling, even tumbling out of control. Greed, anger, selfishness, immorality, corruption and pride are center stage every day.

Where are the Christians? Where is the church? Do we really believe God is who He says that He is? Do we believe He will do what He says He will do? Will there really be a day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord?

I believe it is time for believers to be still. It is the time for us to really KNOW our God. Not based on what our Pastors, Teachers or Parents have told us..., but to know Him intimately, personally from His Word. We must stop talking "about God", be still and listen for the voice of God again.

Lord, give us ears to hear. Speak to our hearts. Stir our souls again. May your Spirit fall fresh upon your church. May we exalt your name among the nations. Let our generation impact the earth one more time with the fervent message that Jesus is the answer to all of life's questions. He is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other way to be saved.

I believe God!

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10

We really do live in perilous times. As I look around, I see more hurting people than I ever have before. The enemy is on the prowl like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. And in his sights are our children, our marriages, our finances, our churches, our ________. You can fill in the blank.

We are warned in 1 Peter 5 to "Be self controlled and alert". We are told to, "Resist him, standing firm in the faith" knowing that others are enduring the same types of trials. I believe it is also beneficial to remember the victories of the past. God has been so faithful.

• I believe that God is with us through the suffering.
• I believe that suffering although it seems like it last for an eternity, is only for a little while.
• I believe that God will restore what Satan has stolen.
• I believe that when I look back, I will see how God has restored and strengthened me.
• I believe that through my trials, my faith has become strong, firm and steadfast.

Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice. Psalm 112:5

In a world where integrity, honesty, generosity and kindness are no longer considered values to be treasured, I believe what God says in His Word.

• I believe God brings good to those who give a drink of water in Jesus name.
• I believe God brings good to those who give a financial gift to those in need.
• I believe God brings good to those who give of their time to help a friend or stranger.
• I believe God brings good to those who do business with integrity.
• I believe God brings good to those who reflect Jesus to a world that so desperately needs to know that Jesus saves.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Who in this world can give you peace? Only the Lord of peace himself.

When can you have this peace? At all times.

In what way can you have peace? In every way.

Jesus himself spoke these words to His beloved disciples.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

This week I am believing God for peace. When the Dr. says that there is nothing else that can be done; one thing is for certain, he doesn't know my God. My hope and my trust is in God and God alone. My eyes are on Him.

Father, I thank you for peace that only you can give. Peace that truly passes all understanding. Our lives, our hope is in you and you alone. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear your will. I love you from the depths of my heart ~ Amen.

Saturday Steps of Faith #16

What are you believing God for?

Do you trust God enough to take Him at His word?

Not only for your neighbor or friend..., but for you?

Saturday Steps of Faith is our opportunity to publicly claim His promises for our lives. It is the place where we believe God for things great and small.

Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17

I wonder how often I tie the hands of the Lord with my unbelief? Unbelief that leaves me stagnant and still instead of moving forward. Though I consider myself to be a woman of deep faith, someone who takes God at His Word; I still have many more miles of steps of faith to take.

I have to wonder if sometimes I am like the father of the boy whose son was possessed by an evil spirit who was desperate for an answer to his greatest need. He boldly brought his son to Jesus only to say, "But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." Jesus responded,

" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes." Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" Mark 9:23-24

Father, I know that EVERYTHING is possible in You! I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief. I want my walk to match my talk; knowing, believing, trusting, confessing, walking by faith. In the name of my Savior, Jesus I ask believing ~ Amen
