Heart Level

God has a way of showing us whats in our heart doesn't He? It's not the God is sadistic and just loves to point out our flaws, He simply Loves to point out where sin is lurking, hiding, and hindering us from true Love.

Several years ago, just a few months after I received Christ into my life a humble servant of God ,Steve Sampson who spoke a word over me that the enemy tries to build arguments and strongholds in my mind about why "its" not gonna work, but that the Song of the Lord would rise up in me. Now, I'll tell you as a new christian that was wierd for me to hear but i'll tell you this too, often when i pray i sing my prayers. lately God has been speaking to me in song, the bible says in Zep 3:17 The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

So anyway for those of you reading, especially Tami and Lexi, here is a song/poem i just wrote...

I will answer Your Love

Time is not for me

But You are

Taking my cares, Taking my fears

Taking me to Your side:

Breathing life, Breathing Love

Breathing You in to me

So whisper away Lord

I’ll heed Your Call

I’ll incline my ear O God

I will answer Your Love

Death is not for me

But You are

Speaking Truth, Speaking Love, Speaking to me:

Come to my house, Come to my Heaven, Come, Come my Beloved.

So speak those words

I’ll heed Your Call

I’ll set my heart to understand

I will answer Your Love

The Plot Thickens

This is a real photo of a real albino alligator it is not stock photography :)

The Plot Thickens

A breakdown of Nehemiah 6
Nehemiah- Consolation, Repentance of the Lord | Governor of Jerusalem
Sanballat- enemy in secret
Geshem/Gashmu- Rain Storm
Tobiah- The Lord is Good or goodness of God
Plain of ONO- Grief/Iniquity/ Strength

Historical Backgrounds:
On July 10, 586 B.C. The Babylonian forces of king Nebuchadnezzar broke through the northern wall of Jerusalem and led 100’s of thousands of Jews 700 miles to Babylon, the land of idolatry
The Jewish survivors were hauled across the Syrian Desert to Babylon, many of them perishing along the way. The Babylonians shackled captives on ankles and fish hooked their mouth (do not turn to the R or L). The Southern Kingdom of Judah had ceased to exist, the monarchy had ended and this marked the end of the First Temple Period.
Jerusalem was burned and the walls of the city were torn down. All military, civil and religious leaders were either executed or carried away into captivity. Isn’t it interesting how the devil wants to remove leadership; strike the shepherd and what happens? Only the poorest of the peasants of Judah were allowed to remain in the land which was by now a place of complete desolation. God always leaves a remnant, the meek shall inherit the earth.

Ezra just accomplished the spiritual establishment of the new community from being exiles, whereas Nehemiah gave it physical structure. Also he rebuilt it in record time 52 DAYS!

1st thing you need to understand: The devil wants to kill you, overwhelmed and CONSUMED w/ hate for us!

Enemy’s Attack- Joh 8:44 You are of the Devil as father, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.

2Co 2:11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

4 Things devil does to us that we see from Nehemiah’s life
Read Neh.6:1-16

Investigate- Search for a flaws/weakness | see if you are a prime candidate
Funny how the devil tries to get you when the work is ALMOST done, just before God releases The Blessing.

Neh 6:1-2 | Sanballat- enemy secret | Sanballat ACTED like he cared- ‘hey let’s meet and work it out’

1Pe 5:8 Be sensible and vigilant, because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour; there are some heCAN’T

Untimely Death
Just a few months later (December 1956) Coe was hospitalized after he fell ill while holding a revival at Hot Springs, Arkansas. What Coe felt was just fatigue and exhaustion caused by his demanding schedule, was actually bulbar polio, and he succumbed to this disease in just a few weeks at Dallas Parkland Hospital, on December 16, 1956.





Interrogate- Question your relationship with Jesus and His authority
Meet among the plains of ONO. 6:2 devil wants to bring you to a level place of iniquity
Neh 6:6–Sent a letter accusing Neh of wanting to be a king

Gen 3 devil questioned adam and eve’s standing with God and God’s word and authority to them

Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Intimidate- Try and knock you off your game through fear and lies

Neh 6:5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand, in which was written,

Neh 6:6 It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews are thinking of rebelling, for this reason you build the wall, so that you may be their king, according to these words.

I Kings 19:1-3,9 Elijah

Eliminate- Ultimate goal is to Kill you or at least disqualify you in the race of faith or to break your legs so you can’t finish
Neh 6:10- logical, go into the house of God-same as Ehud King Eglon in Judges 3

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


4 Things Nehemiah did to overcome:

1 When you are being investigated you better be a person of integrity, Nehemiah was known to be a man of integrity especially with God. Nehemiah was commissioned governor of Judah because of his high moral character

2 When you are being interrogated you better know who you are and know you are doing a great work. Neh6:3

3 When you are being intimidated you better be able to stand firm in Faith
5 times sent the SAME answer | Eph 6:13-14

4 When the devil is trying to eliminate you you better be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Neh 6:10-14

These of course are the notes. so soon i will get a microphone and preach it and record it and podcast it so you all can hear it.

your are all lovely to the Lord

India Support

Switch Youth Ministry Mission Trip 2007: India Aug 3^rd- 18^th

Dear Patron Blogger,

Many people today hear and see about the ill health, treatment, living quarters and general quality of life of India. Many people have a desire to do something about it. Maybe you don’t want to travel 24 hours across the world and endure the hot sun and lack of most commonalities but you want to do something…

Church in the Word’s vision is to make Jesus real to our local community and all over the world. It’s a church wholly dedicated to reaching the lost by equipping us to reach the world through missions. I cannot think of a better way to spend my summer then sharing the Gospel with others, and I know my life will be changed even more this time as well.

I am excited that God has called me to India again this year ‘07! Last year we saw the lame walk, blind see, deaf hear, and many salvations and blessed families. As some of you may know we put on a 3 day youth conference in Kurnool which was a great success and many of the Indian people encouraged in the Lord. This year our focus will be on village ministry, administering the power of God to people who have never seen white people before, 70% are illiterate of their own language, and uniting villages to the cause and person of Jesus Christ. We will be performing several dramas and street evangelism as well as a children’s VBS (vacation bible school) and teaching/preaching the Gospel.

India is located between the Middle East and China. My team will be based out of the city of Hyderabad, which is in the Southern part of India. We will begin with training at our Church August 1st and then will travel to India where each day we will present the Gospel. This trip will be very challenging, both physically and spiritually but I am excited to see God use me this summer to change the lives of many who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Follow this link to see just one amazing miracle that happened while I was in India last year, this is me in the video, and please read the description to get more information about what exactly is going on in the video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC1I_4PoPLk

I will be leaving on August 3^rd and returning home on August 18^th. In the meantime I will be working hard to raise funds for my trip. The total cost of this trip is $3,000, which includes all expenses: airfare, accommodations, food and training.

I know that I cannot accomplish this work alone and I trust that God will provide the resources and finances necessary for me. I am asking you to partner with me by making a tax deductible gift towards this ministry endeavor.

I have several financial deadlines to meet: the first is June 15th when 50% is due. Any amount that you can give will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to support me in this exciting opportunity, please make checks payable to “Church in the Word” and return them in the envelope provided (also write my name in the memo area). Your donation is completely tax-deductible. Your support is an important part of seeing salvations on the field this summer. If you have any questions please contact me at 224-345-8080 or healingpoms@yahoo.com or visit http://web.mac.com/switchyouth for more information.

This is not just an opportunity to send Jeff Poms to India. I am giving God a way to bless you financially. When you sow into a fruitful ministry you’ll reap a blessing. God’s word says that when you sow into missions trip and become a “sender” you can reap the grace and blessing that is poured out on that work. So if 800 people come to Jesus because of you sending me there, the measure in which you give, it will be given back unto you.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration in partnering with me in the Ministry. I greatly appreciate your prayer and support! God Bless, Jeff Poms

Gods Standard

On my friend Lexi's Blog she comments on God's standard. Teaching from the Way of the Master teaches us that most ppl measure their "holiness" to themselves... I am a good person cuz i never killed anyone, then you ask them if they ever hated anyone they say yes and blawhh! got em. the point is that the bible says that every one in his own heart thinks he is good, it also says our best righteousness is like filthy used tampons to God!!! God's standard of good is MORAL PERFECTION.

Whats the point in my rant?

Knowing is only 1/2 the battle

to simply KNOW their is a higher standard is one thing to eagerly pursue, chase, drive, and press toward is quite another so again i ask...
where's the fire? what do you burn for? what are you hungry for? is your tongue cleaving to the roof of your mouth because you are so dehydrated of the Word? or are you thirsty for more of the satisfying, complete, perfect word of God....

Let us teach with all authority and power the doctrines and principles of the Kingdom of God.

Preachers Dorm

Well it is just interesting to me how this works sometimes. When I sit down of my own volition to "prepare/write" a message I just really have a hard time. However, if I am asked to preach or if someone simply asks me a question about the bible, I tell you you better have 1/2 an hour or better for me to answer you.

I can even explain the mechanics of preaching and how to prepare a message to others, yet when it is time for me to do it I find great difficulty.

I also find that I can get in preachy moods. These have all to do with how in the Word or not I am or have been. If I have really been in the Word I will be really preaching I can't help it, it just comes out. This can not result in others preaching to me it has to be personal revelation. I think God does this to me to keep me accountable.

Tuesdays we have been going through the Omega Course by Mick Bickle at IHOP KC, but tonight we are ending our study. My prayer is to rekindle what I used to call the "Preachers Dorm" This was a group of guys I lived with in Bible College that would tag team preach, worship, and then do altar calls. These were powerful times that I hope will once again be renewed on these Tuesday Nights. I also believe it will be a time for others to express their giftings.

In the Making

Some of you may or may not know, I work here at Body & Sol in Barrington, IL. I started at this place last sept 06 and truly it is a blessing even my wife (Bianca) has said she has never seen me more happy.

As of late though are financial situation has been less than adequate, but in Faith by God's Grace it is improving everyday! I have had to really press in to Jesus and seek what is the best recourse for my families situation.

In the last 3 or so weeks i have had 4 major job offers in which i have had to make fairly quick decisions about whether or not to take them. All of these in the natural would be obvious choices since they would make a good bit of money.

Gods ways are higher than our ways :) and He has chosen to keep me at Body & Sol where i will put all of my efforts. Pray God's provision and favor and visit me :)

Faith Week

Quite possibly the most encouraging week of the year. This is our 3rd annual Faith Week which starts tonight and goes through next Sunday March 18th. If you have never been to our Church,
Church in the Wordit is an awesome, exciting, Spirit-Filled Church with people passionate about God and His Word!

These last few months have been very difficult for many in our church. I could recount all the "negative" things (which funny enough isn't always easier to remember bad stuff rather than good stuff?), but instead I will just speak some faith.

Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

Joshua sent out spies and only 2 came back with a "good" report the other 10 only saw trial. the 2 were full of faith and ready to Believe God, the 10 were too concerned with themselves and their flesh to even consider God.

David Slew a bear and a lion, then he gained confidence in the Lord to slay Goliath, but i tell you david did not consider his size or stature or strength or ability but he considered only his covenant/agreement that God made with him.

You see as we move towards the person of Jesus all hell will break loose, but the tighter and closer you move towards HIM, HE releases all the power of Heaven into your life...

Where's The Fire?????

Faith and Patience

There seems to be this trend in my life where God shows Himself to be the God of the Last Minute. Maybe you know what I am talking about. My wife and I have been faithfully tithing and sowing for years. About a year and a half ago I quit my normal day job and launched a Massage Bussiness that as i am partially ashamed to say has not quite taken off the way i first envisioned. This has cause me and my family severe financial hardship. We have been 1-2 months behind on all our major bills, i.e. Mortgage, Car and student loan payments, etc... I just interviewed at US Cellular for an inventory position, it went well and they want to hire me, i do not yet know for how much but then i have a "possible" oppurtunity to work for another chiropractic friend of mine (this is more my line of work) just minutes ago i got a "random" phone call from a marketing director who wants to hire me for massage full time at her company!!! i would setup shop right there in the company! she has over 600 employees more than enough to keep me busy for sometime. SO please pray that I find more favor with her and that this oppurtunity does not fade away...

Praise the Lord for His Name!

Do your heels hurt?

Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers us from them all!
Well my friends, my verse from last year, the thing that God really produced in me was that it is through Faith and Patience that they/we obtained the promises of God. Some of you may or may not know that my wife and I had been trying to conceive a child since January 06, yes over a year.

We recently about 2-3 weeks ago decided that we had done all we could do and would consult a physician. (I am not against physicians, hey i want to be one, but this one just didn't know my God) This physician said we had infertility. it is a little less than one month later and let me tell you my friends we are PREGNANT!!! just under a month pregnant!!!! You see I just kept speaking the Word of God over my wife and her womb and commanding barrenness and death to go in Jesus Name and by God it HAD to yield at that Name.

So you may say to yourself why did you title this "Do your heels hurt?" and the reason why is because we are to trample and tread upon serpents and scorpions, our rightful place is currently a citizen of Heaven with Jesus, joint heirs, Kings and Priests set apart to our Holy God, in short He gave Us the authority and the power to put satan and all the power of the enemy under our feet, and it means to forcefully do so as one would strike a snakes head to kill it. so if you are stomping on snakes all day your heels may hurt :)

love you all

Spirit? Breath? Air? Wind? Mind?

Lately I have been seeking the Holy Spirit about something that rather troubled me.
You see often in full gospel or pentecostal circles we command deliverance of evil/unclean spirits. This is biblical but I have seen people cast off the spirit of headache. I decided to research the Greek and Hebrew occurrences of when the bible names Spiritual forces/principalities by name. this is what I found:
Old Testament word for
Spirit is H7307
רוּח
rûach roo'-akh
From Strong's H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions): - air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage, mind, X quarter, X side, spirit ([-ual]), tempest, X vain, ([whirl-]) wind (-y).

This same word is used with the Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of God as well as the following;

Spirit of Harlotry/Whoredom Spririt of Jealousy, Spirit of Wisdom, Spirit of Grace and Supplication, Spirit of Understanding or the mind, Spirit of Princes, Spirit of man, Spirit of beast, Spirit of Egypt, Spirit of Judgement

New Testament word is G4151
πνεῦμα
pneuma
pnyoo'-mah
From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare G5590.

This is used in conjunction with
Spirit of Infirmity, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Faith, Spirit of Divination, Spirit of Life, Spirit of Bondage, Spirit of Adoption, Spirit of Meekness.

This was all from the KJV no where did I find Spirit of Headache :)
Thanks for tuning in.

Seasons- Crashing

Ain't it funny how just when you think you are entering into a season of life where things calm down, where they may finally settle, you can just see the light at the end of the tunnel, the devil puts a refractive mirror and you are still hundreds of miles from where you thought you where.

I don't know how moses climbed that mountain twice for forty days and fasted and denied his flesh. well , really i do its called the spirit of God, but its like gatorade, Is It In YOU?

I feel like i just climbed up a mountain only to encounter the fact that not only was this not the top of the mountain but now i must traverse a vast desert to get to the next point of the mountain to then climb more and see if THIS will now be the top...

Pray for me to keep climbing

Chew on this for a while

I was thinking this morning about destiny and free will. an amazing and terrifiying thought came to pass. We have heard it preached, we have felt it burden in our Spirit; What we do or don't do with our walk with Jesus determines/influences other peoples destiny.


Think of this: I was driving yesterday afternoon and i felt the Holy Spirit tell me to start praying in tongues. For a moment I hesitated, and the Spirit of God said to me, 'if you don't there will be peoples' walks in danger'. Now I don't know exactly what that would be and I may or may not personally know these believers but I prayed until I felt released of the Holy Spirit.

Everytime we go 5-10 mph over the speed limit we are reducing God's ability to use us to the fullest to the measure of the stature of Christ. Everytime we spout off to our spouse in anger because of offense we stop gaining ground for the Kingdom and we begin to regress. Everytime we don't take opportunities to pray, fast, read, fellowship with believers, serve, etc we deny God the availability to show Himself strong in the earth.

I know what the devil does what he says,' no one can fulfill all the law anyway, you aren't hurting anyone by looking at that porn, or speeding, or fighting with your spouse' and if we receive that lie we will begin to rebel against God and etch further and further away.

So like James urged us, Draw near to God, and He shall draw near to you. God has already completed His work you see, He made every provision for you to come to Him, now all He asks is that you walk Faithfully toward Him and He meets you there.

Salvation!

I realize that for some this may be trivial. Sometimes it is important to review the basics and examine if there is something deeper to understand or implement in our lives.

I recently have had several opportunities to lead a little over 20-25 people to the Lord Jesus Christ! Praise The Lord! During these times I found myself following a certain pattern.

I would thank them all for their courage in stepping out in faith.
Then I ask them what it means to them to be saved/born again.
I listen and then offer them this:


Salvation is about God the Father loving you so much and wanting to have ever-lasting relationship with you that He decided to send His only Son Jesus Christ to come to earth and show us that life, grace, truth, mercy, power, etc is only found in and by Him. In order for you to enjoy Him something had to happen. See God is not only 100% Mercy and Love but He is also %100 Holy, Righteous, and Judge. He can have nothing to do with sin for He is light and in Him there is no darkness. Makes sense right? So because God is eternal, He is outside or above Time, the punishment for sin ( or breaking His commands) is eternal. You steal so candy in a store and its a class c misdemeanor with about $2500 fine and up to 3-5 years in jail. God's standard of Good is MORAL PERFECTION and so stealing or any break of the law requires eternal punishment, hence Hell- a real place of torment- ever-lasting. So in order to get to Heaven you need to receive and accept Jesus to put your total Trust and Faith in Him and commit your WHOLE LIFE so that in doing so when God looks down on you and your sin what He sees is that the penalty for that sin has been paid for by His Son Jesus and God does not have to punish you for it because Jesus already paid the price. Again this is not a free ticket to continue sinning nor does it devoid us from the need of repentance from evil things in our lives but now we have a High Priest and Mediator who makes intercession for us and presents us Clean before the Father.

praise God

Goals 2007

This morning our Pastor, Patrick Hoban gave a fantastic message on What do you want? this may at first seem trivial and meaningless, but I have several things on my heart. I want to make sure that I have the heartbeat of Heaven. To that end here are some of the goals I have for 2007. 1st and foremost to grow closer to the Lord this year than last to continue moving forward. I want to have another child in 2007, Go to india and see hundreds saved, healed and delivered and at least 1 person rose from the dead preferably from me praying, I want to reach and maintain a target weight of 155-160lbs, I want God to use me greater in preaching this year at our
Youth Ministry: SWITCH and around to other churches preferably non-charismatic churches but wherever the Lord leads, and last but not least to sell our condo and move into a cheaper rental home where we can start paying off our debts and get free from it.

And one day this sign will read Jeff Poms.

So if anyone has Pastoral friends who would like a Youth/Adult speaker please call me I will travel :)


Happy New Year

Roller Coaster

Yes its true that I even sometimes find myself buying Satans ticket to jump on Hells best up-and-down-til-you-cant-think-straight rollercoaster. as silly as i know it to be, as futile and dangerous as i know it to be, i still get dupped (doopped?). I don't want to waste energy fighting people, i want those principalaities to come tumbling down, i can't wait to hear the sweet sound of victory for the Lord( which He has trult already given us anyway).

I get pysched up for certain events and dates but i fail in the day to day battle of obeying the speed limit, honoring my mom and dad, and not bearing false witness. these are important to being a skilled warrior. My desire is that the Lord will grant me the manifest grace to first slay my own giants in the land so i can go and give others the good report that the battle is the Lords and He shall prove victorious everytime.

this verse has been echoing in my spirit: Those who put their trust in the Lord shall never be put to shame.

Hmmm. so if i just simply do what God says it will always work. interesting concept. what is it that D L Moody said I will be a man who is completely surrendered to God. He did a good job, but Jesus was a perfect picture of that.

Lord Help me to get to that placer more and more everyday.

MySpace

wow i can not even believe the world that is MySpace. I just checked it out to find old High School friends, and lo and behold all of our Youth are on there, so now i can keep in contact with them. like most things there is a function and a dysfunction.

So if you want to check it out its
myspace.com/knowyourgod

there is a couple cool videos and pics i posted and of course you can get a hold of me that way also.

Searching for a few hearts

You ever feel like God has a search warrant for your heart? everytime you think or say something the Sweet Holy Spirit whispers to you, should you be saying that? Isn't doing this against My Word? Do you want to be far from Me? We as christians call for revival we want the Holy SPirit to show up at our services and our lives but we don't want to pay for it. we want to be "magically" whisked away by the effort and sacrifice of others. I get disgusted with myself sometimes; thinking i have arrived at some spiritual plain with God b/c of something He alone gave me the grace to accomplish in the first place. Apart from God I can do nothing, if i am alive i can do nothing i must die. Oh God show me how the living die, and how the dead live in your presence. Teach me true humility and patience that is perfected through love.

Priorities

Perhaps some of you will remember me, I used to write here occasionally. Something God the Holy Spirit has been ministering to me lately is the word Priority. Webster defines this as: "something given or meriting attention before competing alternatives". We have many competing alternatives in our lives today.

An illustration from a friend of a friend. Once a high level Loans officer took a vacation to the Hawaiian Islands. He went to the local restaraunt and ordered fish where he was promptly instructed to go to the beach and find a fisherman to catch whatever he wanted because that's how fresh their food was. The Loan Officer does this and of course it is the best fish he's ever tasted. Long story short he visits this restaraunt several times and gets into a conversation with the fisherman. He asks the fisherman if he ever thought of "expanding" his business. The fisherman says no, why? He says, 'I could get you a loan to get 3 more boats and a small crew'. Fisherman says ''Then what?' He says ' then you could expand more even have several chains across the usa canada and europe. Fisherman says ''Then what?' He says then eventually you could retire as head and ceo of this big corporation and do basically whatever you want, you could just fish up and down the shore as often or not as you want. the fisherman says, 'how's that different from what I do now?'

Often times we confuse priorities with "pressing" matters. Recently this year I decided God was my priority. I quit my full time job to start my own business. this was so i could please God in my Marriage, Parenthood, Service to Him and the Church, and all around less stressed with "pressing" matters. So I removed them from my life. This initially of course caused some friction and "waves" in all these arenas, but now I am so much more focused on my relationship with God, my wife, my daughter, the Church, my work, my health, etc...

Think about what God could entrust you with if He only had your undivided attention... Jonathan Edwards who wrote sinners in the hands of an angry God, who started the 2nd Great Awakening in the US spent 8-13 hours a day in prayer and study of God's Word. Wow!!!! Take that in for just a minute.

Challenge: so today pray and ask God what is your priority, and if it lines up with His priority for you.

Capacity

I am really sorry it has been such a long time since I have blogged. Life happens; Blah blah blah.

I have had this word brewing in my Spirit: Capacity. I have been contemplating the term and here is how webster defines it : the facility or power to produce, perform, or deploy: the potential or suitability for holding, storing, or accommodating: an individual's mental or physical ability:

So then, something hits me. We know God is El Shaddai, EL Elyon, but do we KNOW it? is He truly limitless, Does God have a capacity? I don't think He does.

This means that since God is Love and Patience, Mercy, Peace, Righteousness, Power, etc... there is no limit to these qualities and attributes. This additionally means that there is no limit or capacity on how much of these things He gives His children. That is good news!

This means because God's patience never runs out He will always Love me so He is always seeing the best in me He is always rooting for me, always trusting in me and always encouraging me to finish the race. In addition to this, He is more than willing to dispense as REQUESTED ( not as needed) in faith, which He also provides) these things we ask!

So be encouraged as you press on this week month and year that with God truly all things are possible and now you can trust Him for all your needs.
