Great prayer
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

When you see no way out
This is a real chariot wheel found in the read sea. There are many more.
Don’t be afraid! Be brave, and you will see the Lord save you today….
The Lord will fight for you, and you won’t have to do a thing.
Exodus 14:13-14
“Just follow my lead.” That is the essence of what God told me morning after morning. Before I could even open my eyes I was reminded of how much I could trust him, and to follow His lead.
At first I was confused. I ask Him, “Why do you have to keep reminding me to follow you, haven’t I been doing so for the last almost sixteen years?” I asked Him.
I should have known.
I should have known then it would get a little rough.
Like the Israelites marching toward the red Sea I followed Him, unaware of the seeming unstoppable wall that would soon appear to keep me from the very place the God had called me to.
Not only were the Israelites faced with not being able to move forward and not being able to move back they also were also faced with the fact that if they stayed where they were they would appear to meet their doom, for the Egyptians were closing in behind them, and there was way out….but through!!!
God parted something that’s water volume is with a water volume of about 233000 cu. km.. Could you even imagine how hard that would be for humans to accomplish? The power it would take? And yet at the right and appointed time God did it. God parted the problem, God parted the wall that was standing in their way. And then closed it on their enemeys who threatened to destroy their dreams.
God is all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful!!!
There is nothing that He cannot do!!!
God wants us to trust Him.
God wants us to trust that though He has lead us to a place of what seems to have no escape, that He will get us to where we need to be.
If your back is against the wall and you see no way out, keep holding on to God get excited because you are about to see a miracle happen.
When you have no fight left in you, you are spent, God will fight for you.
Don’t give up, don’t lose hope. The Lord is on your side.
Yesterday a door appeared to shut firmly on England, but I will not lose hope, I will not lose faith, God lead me to this place and He alone will see me through!
Even if you do not understand, trust God
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

You can fully trust Him
God is too wise not to know all about us, and what is really best for us to be, and to have. And He is too good, not to desire our highest good; and too powerful, desiring, not to effect it. If, then, what He has appointed for us does not seem to us the best, or even to be good, our true course is to remember that He sees further than we do, and that we shall understand Him in time, when His plans have unfolded themselves; meanwhile casting all our care upon Him, since He careth for us. – Henry Parry Liddon
How you can turn your bones into an army
God’s Spirit took me up and set me down in the middle of an open plain strewn with bones. He led me around and among them—a lot of bones! There were bones all over the plain—dry bones, bleached by the sun.
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Master God, only you know that.”
He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones: ‘Dry bones, listen to the Message of God!’”
God, the Master, told the dry bones, “Watch this: I’m bringing the breath of life to you and you’ll come to life. I’ll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You’ll come alive and you’ll realize that I am God!”
I prophesied just as I’d been commanded. As I prophesied, there was a sound and, oh, rustling! The bones moved and came together, bone to bone. I kept watching. Sinews formed, then muscles on the bones, then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them.
He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, ‘God, the Master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breathe life!’”
So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.
(Ezekiel 37:1-10)
—————————————–
If we are going to do anything great for God we have to be people of faith.
God expects us to life a life of faith, to believe that He can take the dried out, rusted out, burnt out, things in our life and make them new.
But God will not do it on His own.
He chooses to wait for us to step out in faith and tell those dry bones of ours to rise.
Do you have a troubled marriage? Bring it before God and start believing in faith for it to be restored.
Is your child going down the wrong path, or is your house about to be taken away? God can heal and restore as we call out in faith.
Will it mean that everything goes our way as we do so? No. God is God and His will, will be done, regardless if it matches up with what we think we want.
Yet, if we live a life of faith, one of telling our dry bones to rise, we will be amazed at the things that God will be able to do in and through us.
No more doubting, wining, and complaining.
We are called believers for a reason.
Rise, dry bones, rise!!!!!
Let us build an army of faith!!!!

What faith is
This is faith: a renouncing of everything we are apt to call our own and relying wholly upon the blood, righteousness and intercession of Jesus. ― John Newton
