And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven’s armies! the whole earth is filled with his glory!” Isaiah 6:3 (NLT) The whole earth is filled with God’s glory. It’s in all that He has created, so it’s around us everywhere we go. God’s glory doesn’t just apply to church-related, spiritual things. All of God’s creation brings Him glory. Every budding tree, every little hummingbird, every mountain and river…it all brings Him glory. The next time you’re in awe of a beautiful building or a great song, recognize that it can all bring God glory if you have the right focus! If the whole earth is full of His glory, then so are you! When you succeed at something, …
Created For Much More
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8 (NLT) God has a call on your life—a destiny for you to follow. He guides you along the best pathways for your life. Often people assume that God has one grand task or role for them to fulfil in life, like writing a book or starting up a church. But He doesn’t call us to just one destination. No, we were created for much more! Your destiny is the lifelong path that God prepared for you ahead of time. Life is all about your faith-filled journey down that path. Once you arrive at a goal or fulfil a dream, it just …
Follow The Dream
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8:16 (NKJV) If you’ve ever wondered about your destiny in life, you need to know that your dreams and desires are signposts on the road to your destiny. Highway signs guide you to where you want to go. In the same way, your deepest dreams and desires can help you discover the specific call God has on your life. Typically, God doesn’t guide us with a show-stopping vision, a profound dream in the middle of the night or a prophetic word from someone. The main way He communicates with us is internally, within our spirits, as it teaches in Romans 8:16. When you have a deep desire or dream in …
Empowered To Succeed
The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. Deuteronomy 28:8 (NKJV) God has commanded a blessing on you, according to Deuteronomy 28:8. He gives you the power to make wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) and to be successful in every area of life. So, don’t buy into the idea that poverty and lack somehow pleases God more than success. Actually, if you believe that you’re destined to struggle in every area because you’re a Christian, that belief will sabotage any chance you have for success. You need to know that having less influence, money or success doesn’t somehow make …
Permission To Succeed
The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. Deuteronomy 30:9 (NKJV) God has great plans for your life, and your beliefs determine whether or not you’ll walk them out. If you hold on to beliefs that are not based on God’s Word, they can cause you to miss what God has for you. For example, one major misbelief that holds many Christians back is the belief that poverty is godly. Many Christians have been taught that money is evil and having it causes us to become self-centered and proud. In reality, it’s the love of money that …
