Can God…?

Restore our Families: Many of our families have been buffeted and plagued by one problem after another – death, unrepentant prodigal (s), loss of intimacy with spouse, financial setback. The restoration of Naomi’s family is an expression of God’s divine providence in the face of a crisis brought about by death.

Save our Children: The stories of God’s divine intervention in the lives of Jesus Christ (the man); the prodigal; Moses; Samuel and Timothy gives us hope in the living God, the Savior of all men, especially those who believe!

Save our City: The city of Nineveh is described as “great” containing 120,000 people whose “evil ways” had caused God to declare judgment upon them. Though these “evil ways” are not described in the book of Jonah, Nahum later writes that Nineveh’s sins included plotting against the Lord, cruelty, prostitution, witchcraft and commercial exploitation. Yet when Jonah went to warn them of their impending doom, they took heed and the king declared a complete fast – even the animals were forbidden to “eat or drink.”When they repented, God had “pity” and cancelled His threatened punishment.

Heal: The following Scriptures speak to the healing power of Almighty God through faith: Nu.21:8; Mt.9:22; Mk.5:34-36; 6:13; Lk.4:39; 8:48; Jn.5:1-9; Ac.5:15; Jas.5:15-16. “Be not afraid, only be-lieve.”

God has given us great and precious promis-es. He is faithful. In Him there is no varia-bleness or shadow of turning. Whatever promise He has made to us, we can, with absolute certainty know that they will be fulfilled.
God Can, Yes He Can!

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

“Can God…? God Can, Yes He Can!”

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had every-thing before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way."

This quote from Charles Dickens, I be-lieve, aptly describes the times in which we live. In such a climate as this it is very easy to doubt the providence of Almighty God.

Despite the signs and the “truth” it seemingly presents one thing remains abundantly clear, if God can do the greater, He is most certainly able to do the lesser.

What are some of the “lesser” things that you have been waiting on God to do for you but are yet to see? Utilize the weeks ahead to revive your faith and trust in a God whose promises are timeless.

I invite you to join me on this memorable journey to renew our faith in Elohim, El-Shaddai, Adonai, the great I Am! He is looking for a new breed of believers who are willing to exercise some confidence in a “Can Do” God!
