"For no word from God shall be void of power.?
?Luke 1:37

"Lincoln was speaking of a 'new birth of freedom' for the nation, and shortly thereafter he backed the Thirteenth Amendment, fully outlawing slavery. 'Well, boys your troubles are over now,' Lincoln told his press pool (of sorts) the morning after being elected in 1860. 'Mine have just begun.' As he places his hand on the Lincoln Bible."
?The Economist, January 17, 2009

Let?s pray Mr. Obama will stand on the Bible,
not just with his hand placed on the Word, but with his heart in the Word.

We often ask ourselves, "What to do or not to do?? Lets look into the past for some wisdom.

While giving a speech shortly after his election in 1860, Abraham Lincoln spoke of the new birth of freedom. He spoke with his hand placed on the greatest book ever written. The Bible covers a wide range of time?from B.C. to A.D. (Before Crisis and After Disaster).

This book in which Abraham Lincoln trusted can help you answer the hard questions in life, whether they arise before, during or after a crisis. The Bible is the most relevant book today in dealing with crisis.

I want to remind you of the power this book holds and the value it places on you. Yes, the reality is bad out there, but the truth is that your God is able to fix you and fix the crises of your life.

It?s scary how much hope we have placed on the world's systems. The good news is that you have the Word of God. Now act on what really holds you together.
The heart of the Bible is practical, creative and powerful. Why? When God speaks, the same creative power that was drawn upon when He spoke the world into existence goes into action again. His Word today is just as effective, powerful, creative and just as practical as when He framed the world by speaking it into existence. Ezekiel 12:25 says it all: "I am the Lord; I will speak, and the word that I speak shall come to pass.?

Dare to Believe
"And he (God) has confirmed his words, which he spoke.?
?Daniel 9:12

Believe God?s Word. Trust His Word. Know the creative power of his Word so you can act on His word.
  • Do not try to believe, act on the Word. That is believing.
  • Do not make a confession that can contradict God?s Word. Make your confessions agree with God?s Word, regardless of the symptoms. Keep the Word on your lips.
  • Do not trust in other people?s Faith. Have your own Faith. Come on, you are a believer! You have Faith!
New Beginnings Come With The New Year!
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days
in prosperity and their years in pleasure.

?Job 36:11

Starting 2009 with the Lord in prayer is a wise step into victory and breakthroughs?throughout the year.

The birth of a New Year, the start of a new day, all bring feelings of excitement, joy, hope and promise. There is an air of great expectations when we put God first at the beginning of everything we do. We can rest assured, in the midst of the world being shaken. The Word we stand on will never be shaken, and neither will we as we stand on it. This excites me!

Millions are trapped by the enemy called "average.? As a result of being constantly beaten down by negative circumstances and personal failures, they have settled for second best. Sadly, some have totally given up, thinking there is no way out.

As you will hear in my upcoming radio teaching on Premier Christian Radio, I want you to know I have been there. But at my lowest ebb, I was able to summon the courage of a young man who lived in the Old Testament times. His name was David. And I came to the conclusion that if he could defeat a giant with only one small stone and a powerful God, why couldn?t I become a conqueror too?

Regardless of where you are on life?s mountain, there is a higher peak waiting to be climbed and a greater vision waiting to be fulfilled. You are about to learn what your future can become when you discover your destiny, declare your faith and challenge your giants. I also want to show you how to transform your thinking, say farewell to procrastination, find the power to be self-disciplined, and stay focused on your objective.

It is my prayer that you will escape from the rut and routine of mediocrity and pursue your God-given purpose. I know what it means to see a dream transformed from a struggle to a reality. Now I want to share these proven principles with you.

Right now is your time to take a giant step forward.

Dare to be great!
