WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  DON’T BELIEVE

I am always encouraging you to believe God. I have given you scriptures several times about how we need to draw closer to God and believe His word. Today I want to encourage you to not believe.  Don’t believe the bad reports, don’t believe the lies of the enemy. Don’t believe every person that comes into your life. The enemy sends people to bring us down, just the same as God sends people to lift us up.

If the children of Israel had not believed the lies of the ten spies, they would have crossed to the promised land. If Adam and Eve had not believed satan in the garden, they would not have lost paradise and their fellowship with God.

David didn’t believe the lies that said the giant was bigger than his God. Everyone knew how big Goliath was, they were hiding in fear of his size.  But David didn’t allow the narrative to draw him from his faith.  He didn’t believe the lies that Goliath would surely win, because David said, He is big to us, but he is small to our God.

Today I want to encourage you to listen to the voices around you.  Think about what they are saying and then Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. He is out to destroy us all.

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING–EP399–EMPTY TO OVERFLOW

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING, I AM THRILLED TO BE BACK AND HAVE EVERYTHING WORKING AGAIN.

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  EMPTY TO OVERFLOW

I often think about Peter fishing all night without a catch. He was ready to give up. Peter had used his equipment and experience, all that he had within his power to catch fish. We too can do everything in our power to get a good outcome, sometimes, but in spite of our best efforts we fail. Then Jesus came by and said go out and cast your net on the other side. I am sure the last thing Peter wanted to do was go back out after a long night. But he listened to Jesus and went back out. He was obedient.

The first time he was out he was fishing in his own strength and wisdom. The second time he went on Jesus’ word. He caught so many fish; he had to call for another boat to help him. We may accomplish thing on our own. But it is always more profitable to listen to the leading of God.

When we are obedient, we go from an empty vessel to one that is overflowing. When we are obedient, not only will God bless us, but he will bless those around us. It doesn’t say, but I think it is safe to assume that the boat which came to help Peter had fished all night too without much to show for it.

The blessing that God gives us will always overflow onto others. He pours into us so that we can pour out to others. He fills us with encouragement so that we can encourage others. The hope he gives us to give us something to share with others. He gives us faith to share the good news of salvation.

When we are tired of trying, like Peter was that morning, remember God has a plan. We may be empty like the boat Peter was in, but God can fill us up to overflowing. We just have to cast our net on the other side.  If we follow God’s instructions and are obedient, we will be blessed and many around us.

Now is not the time to sit in the empty boat feeling tired and frustrated. The world is depending on us to try again. We need to keep fishing, keep trying to win the lost to Jesus.  Now is the time to look for answers, listen for God’s direction. He will not leave us empty handed but will tell us to launch out into the deep.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
