Visions

I think I've mentioned before that our Sunday school class is doing a set of tapes about a book called, Don't put a period where God puts a comma.  (Maybe the author was an English teacher.)  

Last week she talked about something that I found a little bit exciting.  

Envision change.

She talked about how we should try to vision ourselves having or doing the things that we want to do.  Let me see if I can explain it a little better.  The way they did it was to make a list, her personal list was of 10 things that she wanted to see happen.  We're not talking about winning the lottery or anything like that, it was more changes in their lives.

One of the things she had written down was that she wanted to be able to interview other Christians about their faith journey. (At the time she worked for guidepost writing articles for them.)  She said that 5 days after making her list, she was contacted by someone at Guidepost regarding a position doing exactly what she had written down.

Coincidence?  I think not.

I wonder, do you make any type of lists?  I was thinking about it, and I am going to do it.  She did give some guidelines when making your list.  She says we should ask ourselves, will this hurt me, or someone else?  

I wondered at first how biblical this process really is, but the author pointed us to some scripture which does support her thoughts.  Mostly I think she wants us to realize that God does want wonderful things for us, if we are open to him, he will bless us.

So I decided to give it a try.  I am going to make my list today.  I will pray about it everyday, and I can't wait to see what happens.

God does tell us to expect a miracle!

You have not because you ask not

Last Sunday, our church service was one of the most touching, sweet, emotional services that I can remember.


Our Pastor had told us that he was thinking of doing things differently, and it would be an anointing/hands on kind of service.


It was amazing!!!


He started out by reading scriptures, like the story of the lady who touched his garment in the crowds and was instantly healed!  What a miracle!  She knew that if she could just touch him, she would be healed.


Is that faith or what?


There was another story of a father asking Jesus to heal his son, because the disciples tried and they could not heal him.  (He was possessed.)  Jesus says to his disciples, You have no faith, how long must I stay with you?  He then told the boys father that all things are possible for the one who believes.  Then he cast the evil spirit from the boy.


Key:  All things are possible for the one who believes.


Amazing!  




It was awesome, then we had an alter call and you were able to go and pray on behalf of yourself, or someone else.  Actually we were given a blank piece of paper to write down what we wanted to pray for.  


It was so moving, I knew that God was in that place.


Isn't it great to know that miracles still happen, all we have to do is believe!

Jesus said, "Go, you are healed because you believed."  At once the man could see and he followed Jesus on the road.

Mark 10:52
