Ephesians
3:20 AMP – Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do
superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our
greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work
within us.
I have
recently had something pop up in my life that has been an enormous struggle for
me. It is not the first time this issue has come up,
but I have literally just felt as if I was walking in quicksand.
Through the
last few weeks, I have been praying & trying my best to give it all to Him
& have faith, but I don’t think I have been
doing a very good job. I have just been going through the motions trying to
convince myself that it would be ok & an answer was right around the
corner. Well, that corner has not yet come around.
The enemy
has tried his very best to keep me in a fog to the point that I could not see
past the point of my own “storm”. The
enemy wants to distract me from where I should be focused right now.
JOHN
10:10 AMP – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that
they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]
After
receiving a very timely message from a friend, I felt God speak to me that all
I had been doing was just trying to survive & get by. God does not want me
to just get by. He has bigger & better things in store for me than I could
ever imagine. Like John 10:10 says “to the full, till it overflows”.
That is
quite literally God’s desire for us is to live our life in abundance until it
overflows to others. That is the entire purpose here. We must be living our
lives to the point that it does affect others.
JEREMIAH
29:11 AMP – For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you, say the
Lord, plans for peace and well-being and not for
disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
I also
realized that I was thinking & praying way too small. God is in the little
things, yes, but His desire is for us to thrive not just to get by. That is
thinking way too small. We must think, pray & live much bigger. There is
nothing that my God cannot handle. There is no prayer too big!!
LUKE 1:37
AMP – For with God nothing [is or ever] shall be impossible
