Super Power

Matthew 6

Do you ever question God's power? Has there ever been anything in your life that seemed impossible to overcome, or obtain? On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your trust level towards God? How much do you trust in Him daily? Do you trust Him? It doesn't matter where we may fall on that scale. It doesn't matter if you rated a 10, 11 12 for that matter! It doesn't matter much...because there is always room to trust Him more. We must. We live in a world where (without God) everything is unsure. Everything is turmoil everything is chaos. Life without God is no life at all. Life without God is like having know law. Imagine if there was no law. There would be more and more wrecks occurring, drug busts, shooting, stabbings, rapes, etc. etc. you name it! In all honesty...the world could never rule itself. If it tried, it end up dead. That is why we have Jesus. He sets things straight for Christians and helps them live lives that are upright so that they won't die, but have everlasting life with Him. ("The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10). If you are not a true Christian, a genuine follower of Christ, then you are NOT living life to it's fullest because, a life without Christ is no life at all. For, God is life and life is living for the Almighty God. "But, how can you say that Jesus is the only way to have a great life, that he is the only way to Heaven, how can you say such a thing when there is so many other different religions in the world?" I can say such a thing because, I know it's true for the Bible tells me so! It's right here in: John 14:6 clear as day, it reads, " Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (Emphasis added). You belong to Christ! He made you He loves you! He desires to have a relationship with you and give you life! And life more abundantly! Don't be deceived any longer! Jesus is coming soon and you must make things right! "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38. Allow God to free you from sin and darkness...allow God to carry you into the light and heal you! Why wait to have a better life when you can have a better life now? It's a sad thing that one would rather sleep in there own urine and vomit, wade in the power of darkness, spend half there days hanging over a toilet bowl and call it "A fun hangover". Or, go off and have premarital sex with a guy or girl they barely know just to find out they got pregnant, had an abortion got aids and separated, you call that love!? Wake up! Why are you torturing yourself to be 'popular'? "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." God is right there in front of you waiting to pull you out of your broken life. We can't just say we believe in God we must do something about it! Have faith! God is more powerful than you think! He CAN DO ANYTHING! (That is not an exaggeration). Are you living in darkness today? Do you feel like there is no hope? Do you feel like there is no way out of the misery that you got yourself in? Well if you said yes to any of those questions, than know that 1. you did not run across this website on accident, 2. You do have a purpose in life and there IS hope in Jesus 3. Jesus loves you and He wants you to trust Him and live for Him. God has already taken the initiative to reach down and help you. Christ has always been there, even in your darkest hour. Now, it's your turn to reach up and take His hand. Will you do that today? Will you decide today to put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea? He can calm your sea today. Your problems aren't too big for God to solve. Your life is not too dark for God to heal. HE KNOWS YOU. HE MADE YOU. Never underestimate the power of Christ. Do you today? Do you not trust God, and believe in Him and what He says He can do? If so, take the time to read below. I pray you are touched by truth and made free by the great power of the Almighty God.

The Longest Day

¹ Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and totally destroyed^a]">[a] it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and had become their allies. ² He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters. ³ So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem appealed to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish and Debir king of Eglon. ⁴ “Come up and help me attack Gibeon,” he said, “because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”

⁵ Then the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.

⁶ The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.”

⁷ So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army, including all the best fighting men. ⁸ The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”

⁹ After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. ¹⁰ The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah. ¹¹ As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.

¹² On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
¹³ So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on^b]">[b] its enemies,

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. ¹⁴ There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!

¹⁵ Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

How do you know God is powerful? How did the sun stand still? Of course, in relation to the earth the sun always stands still, but the wording should not cause us to doubt the miracle. After all, we are not confused when someone tells us the sun rises or sets. The point is that the day was prolonged by a miracle, and God's intervention turned the tide of battle for his people. Do not be afraid to ask God for what might seem impossible. If it is in His will, He has the power to do it.
