GOT BEAN FAITH?



Let's start with a question. . .
 
What if I told you preschooler Hannah proudly promised her adult friend, "We're having beans for dinner tomorrow" as she clutched a small cup of mud with bean seeds buried in its center.  


Would you believe her?                                           




Probably not!    


Yet God delights in childlike faith. 




The next evening as the family prepared for dinner, little Hannah's adult friend collapsed in a chair in utter shock. 






Gazing at the bean plant, showcasing three beautiful beans from its vines that climbed the kitchen wall overnight, her friend said, "I'm ready to accept your Jesus!" 


And yes, the family had beans for dinner!  



Hannah was thoroughly convinced God was going to give her beans for dinner because she had childlike faith.  


Or as Carlie says, "Hannah had Bean Faith."   How about you?

Bean Faith
Just like Hannah, you can have bean faith.  It's that pure childlike faith adults struggle with because  physical, emotional, relational, financial burdens distract us from what God longs to do for you and me each day.  


As a result, we are often at the "end of ourselves" when we cry out to God.  The good news is He hears us and shows His love through the miraculous.  


Want proof?

Or check out Wayne's deliverance from homelessness, addictions and more.  




As Wayne says, "sometimes God  has to get us to places where there are no distractions" and adds, "Jesus will go anywhere and meet you wherever you are."




Cultivating Your Faith   


I always thought I needed more faith. Years later, I stumbled on a mustard seed in Matthew 17:20 (NIV)  when Jesus said  Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”  

 


I knew I had mustard seed faith, but I wasn't receiving hardly anything of what God wanted to show me.  I was too busy fighting fear and guilt that smothered what faith I had. 




Replacing condemning and fearful thoughts is a lifetime process I learned to tackle one day at a time.  This tackling is what Pastor Duane Sheriff calls a  "brain washing" with God thoughts. 



 In the words of Andrew Wommack the good news is  "I've left but I haven't arrived!"   How about you?



Check out Pastor Duane Sheriff's teaching series on Mind Renewal  here to replace doubt and fear with God's thoughts.

    We also speak protection, and divine direction  over families, and those fighting for  our God given freedoms in Jesus Name. We praise you Father for helping all those in need in Jesus Name.

    Blessings on you all until next month!    Judith

    NEW LIFE, NEW YOU!

    You're Here! Great! 

    As the promise of spring unfolds, there is a greater promise in the Easter message 


    And that promise is more glorious than any spring imagined.


    Ok, some of you might be saying, "I'm done with promises and disappointments!  


    I get it


    I've been there. 


    But. . . hold on


    Think about the next few questions and take a look at the stories. 


    __________________________________________________________

    TRANSFORMATION through HIM      


    If Juliane Harris,  a country girl who loved God, alcohol and meth can be transformed through a promise, why not you?                      



    If Karen, a Jewish girl who didn't want to live can be transformed through a promise,  why not you?



    If Richard Waller, a former bodybuilder, stripper, and actor can be transformed through a promise, why not you  




    Just like Juliane, Karen and Richard, you can be radically changed. 


    It makes no difference who you are,  where you are or what you've done.



    I was involved in plenty of what Pastor Duane Sheriff calls, "a whole lot of stupid" when I received God's greatest promise of all- Jesus -  in a dark room at 1:00 AM. 



    And years later, as Andrew Wommack says,  "I've left, but I certainly haven't arrived."  


    __________________________________________________________


    God's Greatest Promise  



    God's promises are sure and true.  As a young, dumb adult I was lucky if I recalled one promise from my Sunday school years, nor did I care because I was full of myself. 



    I had to learn what Dr. Bill Winston asked, "Do you realize you were never designed to add to yourself?  You were designed to have God add to you!" 


    After I gave my heart to the  Lord in that dark room at 1AM,  I was on my way to learning how to have God add to me through hundreds of promises I didn't know existed. 


    And, I'm still learning! 


    Whether it's peace, joy, safety, health or more, there's a promise for whatever you need.   


    Not convinced?  


    How about the following for a start.

    Proverbs 1:33
    But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.”


    John 14:27
    “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.



    Yet, our greatest promise of all is eternal life through Jesus Christ.  

    Consider the following: 



    Romans 10:9
    If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 


    Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.





    READY to receive your greatest promise of all right now? 

    Bible teacher Andrew Wommack offers this simple prayer you can pray out loud regardless of where you are or what you are doing.  


    Ready? 


     Let's do this. . .  you won't regret it!  


    Say,

    Jesus, right now I freely turn  my life over to You and  receive you as my personal Savior and Lord. I believe in my heart  God raised You from the dead.   I receive salvation right now because I believe and trust in your Word.   Thank You for saving me. Thank you for a  relationship with You!  Amen.  
     

    Right now angels rejoice because you are adopted into God's glorious family!  


    Don't go it alone though.  Tell someone.  Call 719. 635.1111 and tell prayer ministers you just received Jesus so they can help you with your growth, and or select this link to learn more.

    GUESS WHO is GOD's TREASURE? YOU!


    SO GREAT YOU LANDED HERE!                    


    Before we move on... a quick question...


    Did you know you are worth more than prized pearls, diamonds or gold?   

    "Nah, not me,"   I hear some of you saying.  I know, I didn't think so either.  

    My self concept was in the tank because I was too busy comparing myself to others and had no idea what God thought about me


    It took awhile (nearly 25 years) to really know what God thinks about me and you

    Or that he rejoices over me and you, yes you with singing!  

    I was stunned when I read Zephaniah 3:17   and talk about it plenty because it excites me.   

    Here it is again! 


    "The Lord God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He takes great delight in you;  no
     longer rebukes you, but rejoices over you with singing"  (NIV).  


    Want to know more about why God yearns to lavish his love on you?  
    Check out Andrew Wommack's teaching Understanding God's Love for You. 



    God's Obsession with Us! 

    Understanding how much God is obsessed with you and me hit home when I heard the words to  Cory Asbury's song  Reckless Love.  Can you imagine God climbing up mountains kicking down walls, tearing down lies to come after you?  That's exactly what Cory's lyrics reveal:

    Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
    There's no shadow You won't light up
    Mountain You won't climb up
    Coming after me
    There's no wall You won't kick down
    Lie You won't tear down
    Coming after me. 


    Check out Cory's live version and the story behind the song at the end of the blog. 


    God's obsession  with you never stops. 


    He thinks about us all the time and gave all He had, Jesus Christ so we could be healthy in mind, body and more! 


    Ask teacher Carlie Terradez, healed of multiple diseases along with her daughter  Hannah, who was weeks from death with no hope. Want to know the whole story? 


    And check out  Carly's free powerful declarations from God to learn what He thinks about you! 



    Plugging into God's Obsession. . .

    How God chases us down is different for all of us. Yet one thing is for sure. His enduring love is a powerful magnet. 


    Ask ISik Abla, a former Muslim miraculously delivered from a life of abuse and fear who is  now God's ambassador of joy. Watch Isik's powerful story below.







     In  her book I Dreamed Freedom Isik  relays, " I was a prisoner in my own circumstances, until I was delivered  and set free by finding the truth when I met my Maker." 

    ______________________________________________________________________

    Or... ask Clay Caldwell a prodigal son who ran from God for 17 years and is now plugged into God's love.


    God uses all kinds of people and circumstances to draw us to Him.   It's only right  the late Billy Graham's final message helps you or someone you know receive God's love. 

     Check out the powerful 8 minutes below.

    Father, You are a God of the impossible, thus we speak life to bodies and call them healed,  jobs manifested, income and opportunities manifested, housing and food manifested in supernatural ways that are natural to you Father God.


    Father God, I stand with each person for supernatural direction, peace and protection regardless of where they are - your prized men, women and children.  


    Thank you for your promises and that we can expect signs and wonders according to your words that we speak (Mark 16:20).
