- That their hearts would be open to coming.
- That you would have the boldness to open your mouth and actually make the invite.
Inside Today’s Experiences
New Levels=New Devils
The saying “New Levels = New Devils” was a popular phrase that my first pastor used to say a lot and it is so very true. Satan doesn’t attack as hard those who are not doing anything for God because why would he want to arouse them from their ineffectiveness.
However, when you are making a difference for God, Satan will attack like crazy because he wants to discourage you and get you to quit. Honestly that’s where we are at right now. We just completed our highest attended month and quarter ever…people are having their lives changed by the power of God and people are continuing to come into a relationship with Jesus!
The good news/bad news is Satan is on the prowl. You wouldn’t believe some of the crap he is throwing at us. Just this week alone has been attack after attack like you could never possibly imagine…I’m talking 3 instances where we are literally talking about matters of life and death and then a barrage of other things as well.
So on the one hand I’m emotionally exhausted and would love your prayers. On the other hand, I’m jumping up and down on the inside for joy because I know Satan wouldn’t be working this hard if he weren’t really scared about what we’ve already done and what we can and will do in the future.
United and CFCOG…this is the adventure of a lifetime we are getting to participate in. Stop right now and thank God for the privilege of being able to participate in something so much bigger than ourselves. Then ask Him to draw you closer to Him because, “New Levels=New Devils”.
The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
Back in October I reviewed Steven Scott’s book The Greatest Words Ever Spoken. Now I’ve been given a copy of his newest book The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived.
I really like this guy’s writings. He has made millions of dollars but yet you can tell he still places Jesus number 1 in his life. In this book he reveals some of the principles that he has learned from Jesus that lead to success and happiness.
Now to be honest many times these books can lean towards the health, wealth and prosperity mindset but I feel Steven does a good job of keeping a balance between the “abudant life” Jesus desires for us and the life of sacrifice He calls us to as well.
Through 17 chapters Steven leads you through scriptures from the life of Jesus that can transform your life. In it you will discover…
- New meanings to raise your life to new heights.
- How to develop a mission for your life that will produce greater creativity and productivity.
- How to communicate with others in a moving way.
- How to act in a Christ-like manner.
- How to adopt methods that will take you from ordinary to extraordinary.
- How to discover your incredible worth to God and others.
- How to give and receive love in it’s truest form.
Steven’s writings and illustrations are very clear and easy to understand. I especially recommend this book to those of you who own your own business or are looking to achieve big dreams.
