GOD IS SOVEREIGN: ALWAYS PROVIDE

Only yield to the Spirit’s leading. Be willing to make necessary changes. Learn to live without regret, without limitation. Live without saying, “If only…” Exit the emotional grave you have created for yourself and live to the full. Laugh and be happy! God designed you to enjoy life, not to suffer in misery.

While we were sinners, Christ died for us. When you were at your very worst, He gave his very best. His Son bled because he believes in you. He believes in your healing, which is why he took stripes on His back. He believes in your redemption, which is why he was nailed to a cross, that you might go free. He believes that you are royalty, which is why he wore a crown of thorns in shame so that you could be crowned an ad joint heir, a son, and a daughter, of the living God.

It is the obligation of the Church to be a healing force in a hurting world, to be a hospital for the battered and the broken, to be a refuge from the storms of life, to be a sanctuary of hope for lives that have been crushed by the power of evil. We're not trying to find out who we can put down - we're trying to find out who we can pick up. We're not trying to see who we can put out, but trying to find out who we can take in. We're not here to renounce and reject - we are here to restore and to reclaim for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom.

Jesus is the Son of God and He did not dare to try to spiritually minister to people without taking care of their physical needs, that is a fact.

When we, as a church, load up 18-wheelers full of food and water to deliver to the Texas coast to take care of families that were affected by the great flood that we experienced there recently that is just as spiritual as singing "Amazing Grace" in the church house.

We are meeting the needs of those people and God loves every one of them. They deserve for us to meet their need.

Don't try to minister to someone when you ignore the physical need that they have.
