Sometimes the Lord will put something on my heart and I'm not exactly sure what to do with it or who it may be meant for or any of that, and sometimes I really struggle with that and today was one of those days. I hope this will bless you guys, my dear friends & family.

'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you." 2 Chronicles 20:15-17

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
More than conquers.
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed.
If God is for us, who can be aganist us?
FAITH is being sure of what's hoped for.
Now to Him who is ABLE.
You were bought with a price.
"This is My blood, spilt for you."
But thanks be to God who gives us VICTORY.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
"My grace is sufficient for you."
But, because of His GREAT love for us, God, being rich in MERCY, made us ALIVE.
He who...
forgives all your sins.
heals all your diseases.
redeems your life from the pit.
crowns you with love and compassion.
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
HEARS.
DELIVERS.
REDEEMS.
ANSWERS.
PROTECTS.
SAVED.
HIS EAR IS ATTENTIVE.

This is Jesus.
This is faith and hope and peace.
Being a recipient of all of these things.
Yeah, times are going to be hard.
Things are going to happen. Trials and struggles and all of that. Satan hates to see people so passionately in love with Jesus and he hates to see us truly soak in the goodness of Jesus, because in this goodness we find life. and with life we are changing the world around us.

I am so unbelievably blessed.
I've seen God do a miracle in my friend's life, simply by the fact that he's still living despite an accident that would say he shouldn't be.
I've seen God today when I gathered with some people I know and some that I didn't, but we gathered and GOD MET US. He was there. He spoke. He moved.

It's always the Sundays I'm going to church thinking "God there's way too much that's been happening and I'm trying to find balance amongst all this and I'm trying to do all of these different things well and I can't and I don't know how you're going to meet me today"....that He completely blows me away.

I'm especially thankful today for Jim and Matt B. and Robert and Jaida and Matt and Emily and the people I sat in that room with today. Most of whom I don't personally know that well at all, but God showed up today. And I needed it. And I was so uplifted and so at peace.

Wherever you are, whatever is happening in your life. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I say it so many times to so many people, but it's true. Receive the hope, love, life, deliverance, faith, healing that Jesus has for you today. Be blessed.
