And if God does wipe out what you’ve invested in, ask yourself: Was it ever really God-ordained in the first place, or just God-allowed?
June 12, 2018 1:23 pm Published by Project7 admin We must enter our battlefield armed with the armor of God, our trust in Him, and confidence in the abilities God has gifted us. Never let the challenge of a battle or a beast make you forget that the One who overcame the grave and has a train that fills the entire temple is fighting with you. On your own, your giant will seem too big to take down. But with the Lord, it’s an easy target.

May 27, 2018 1:27 pm Published by Project7 admin The intention of Jesus was for us to imitate the prayer in our daily lives, not duplicate it. He was telling us to always enter into our time of prayer acknowledging and praising the Lord as our Heavenly Father who loves us, guides us, and corrects us when needed.

Like you desire to do what’s right and follow God’s Word, but there’s always this part of you that wants to go your own way? Don’t worry, we can ALL relate.

While He cannot let sin go untouched, His guidance does not end with reproach. You see, God has given us all the beautiful gift of grace. Even when we do fall into sin, He desires to give us another chance. And another. And another. So if you make a mistake, don’t run from Him. Run to Him.

Relationships, obligations, media, confrontation, temptations, pain, sickness – they all try to stand between us and the Lord.

A burden to serve on the foreign missions field? A conviction to abandon unhealthy habits? No matter what you’ve neglected, your story isn’t over yet. You may feel that you have missed your chance to obey His call, but don’t fret!

Are you just putting on a show to make it seem like you’re totally devoted, but are really only giving part of your life to God? Are you offering your time, money, and talents to God just so that you can boast about it to your friends on social media? Or can you be content with making unseen sacrifices that are just between you and the Lord?
April 8, 2018 2:19 pm Published by Project7 admin Can others see Jesus in you by your boldness to speak about His mighty works? What miracles could we witness if we simply began shifting our everyday prayer to asking for our own unprecedented boldness? What if we started intentionally laying aside our personal wants, needs, inhibitions, and fears in order to seek after a courage to fulfill our calling of preaching the Gospel?
