A God Explosion at the Kitchen Counter. Hope Hits Home.

Really believing in the face of the impossible...

This is what pleases God.  Heb 1:6

And this is how we prove to the impossible that the Gospel is for real.  

And this is also that place where we walk in uncertainty with a certain and faith filled hope. 

I remember......

Life at that moment didn't give us that "put together" kind of feeling.  Just the opposite. More like fraying and unraveling, our feelings were raw.   We saw no avenue to stop the bleeding.  We should have made a list of all the problems and challenges we were facing, just to get it out in the open.  But we didn't want to.  To overwhelming.  It was one of those remarkable seasons when you marvel at the complexity of troubles affronting you.  

Experienced that before? 

Then....

Standing around the kitchen island, randomly picking and opening mail, our perspective got a supersonic wake up call.  

My wife opened a letter. Then reacted.  Sounding out a noise that could go either way.  Good?  Bad?  

I asked her, "What. What is it?"

She pulled a check out of the envelope.  

I walked over and looked at it.  We both stood quiet.  Nothing can compare to those moments when all the air of the earth gets sucked out of the room.   Then all the powerful, beautiful air of Jesus and his loving kindness starts pouring in.  

It was a check for $5000.00 dollars.  
The note on the check said, CAR.   

Yes. CAR.  

About three weeks earlier my son was in an accident with our paid off, running great, no troubles mini-van.  Bam.  The CAR was totaled.  He was fine.  Praise God.  

So, for the past few weeks we had been praying and trusting. Flying blind but believing God; believing he had something awesome for us.  Yes, we were trying to figure out how to get into another CAR.  All the while down to one CAR.  Transporting our high school family, church family and work family all around the town.  

Of course, we didn't have resources.  Those we did have were tied up.  And we didn't think we'd get anything for the totaled CAR.   

Yes.  A perfect scenario.  

You've been there, I'm sure. Looking and feeling the pressure of proving to the IMPOSSIBLE the boundless grace and favor of Jesus.  

It can feel like..... Standing strong in the wind with little or no clothing. 
Covered only in faith and HOPE. 
Clothed in truth. 
Constantly praying.

With God nothing is impossible.  
So we believe.  Trust.  HOPE and walk in faith.  

And remarkably, God answers in real time. 
He is the God of the living!  
He is alive!  

Nothing can compare to those moments when all the air of the earth gets sucked out of the room.  Then all the powerful, beautiful air of Jesus and his loving kindness starts pouring in.  

This was a turning point.  

IN our mindset and resolve, a strong tower was formed.  
We launched out in encouragement.  Again, we knew God knew us!
Some compassionate believers poured that grace upon us in the Lord's name. 
Remarkable
Their worship and obedience to the Spirit deeply marked us. 
We did not have words to pull together our gratitude. 

We stood there at the counter.  Quiet.  Glancing at each other. 
My wife and I, assuring each that the Lord marked us both right then. 

We were encouraged to press on. 

Go bigger. 

Believe for more. 

Press into the abiding grace of the Lord

and trust Him.  

You need to know.  
It's not money that made the difference.  
The money was a tool of grace and encouragement in the hands of a steadfast loving God. 
It was God. 
Orchestrating the operations of his grace through faith. 
It was those believers who blessed us in a time of trouble because God spoke to them. 
It was God's loving kindness that we heard loud and clear. 
It was the love of friends who love Jesus that cut out the cynic with a master stroke.  
It was the answer to prayer that BAM! sent shock waves through our doubting flesh. 

God answers prayer. 

We are his redeemed family. 

Never beyond his view. 

Yes. Sometimes those answers come way down the line.  
Farther away than we could ever imagine.  
And sometimes they arrive quick and ready. 


Other times we pray, intercede and reach for them over and over and over, over long periods of time. 
But when they do arrive, there is no doubt where they come from. 
Immediately we know.  
He knows us. 
He hears us.  
He is remarkable in love. 

This is the resounding worship of believers all over the world.  He is calling them forth from every tribe and nation.  

So remain in Him.  
Stand.
Patiently endure for the sake of those loved by God. 
Trust the Master way past what you understand. 
Do the Father's will.  

Eternal life is knowing the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  John 17:3
Walking in the Spirit 
in his leading and guidance
assures we will arrive with the image of Christ chiseled all over us. 



You will know him, if you wait for him!  
Psalms 27:14


Much love in Jesus.  
Brother Jeff

Get these two foundations in prayer!  

How's your 24?  
How's your prayer walk?  
Sowing into prayer is the greatest avenue for consistent joy in Jesus than any other thing out there.   

Take a new step into the depths and riches of knowing Jesus.  Pray. 

Start today.  5 mins listening to or reading the Scripture and Psalm 27:14 wait for the Lord. 
Grab some time and steal away with Jesus.  
He is remarkable to be around.  
You will tap into the grace of God.
The Father sent Jesus to restore us to him and he is longing to know us in Christ.  (John 17:3)
