Believing BIG

What's the biggest thing you've had to believe God for? My answer....Living Streams CC! I've walked by faith at several times in my life; studying for the CPA exam, looking for jobs, praying parents through cancer, going into full time ministry, graduating from seminary (not to mention every time I preach). Of all the experiences I've had believing God for things, this church planting biz tops the list. I often wonder if that's just how God wants us, on our knees, believing Him for bigger and BIGGER things.
Last Sunday I had the privilege of sharing God's word at BRCC. I spoke on failing a test of faith and Elijah's experience running and hiding from Jezebel in 1 Kings 19. I could feel Elijah's fear and his peace as he was reminded of the living God at Mt. Sinai. The Lord blessed me, as I learned much about His heart toward those who have fallen in their faith. He surrounded Elijah and He surrounds us too when our heart looks down from Him. As the pastor of a new church, I believe one of my main responsibilities is to do just that...BELIEVE! I'm praying for the gift of faith, that I will dream big and believe God for BIG things to come for His kingdom. Would you join with me through your prayers and participation as we believe BIG in this new adventure called Living Streams Community Church. Blessings.
