The Path from Insanity to Abundance

Jesus Christ longs to touch your life.  He pleads for you to turn your eyes and heart towards Him.  He yearns for your outstretched hand that He may touch you.  He hungers to give you victory in life where you are experiencing defeat.  His purpose for you is to love you so much that you end up spending an eternity in His Kingdom, living in royalty, joy, peace, and wholeness.  Not just in heaven, but also here on earth.  He wants to take your failures and turn them into resounding successes.  He wants to take your weaknesses and make them strengths.  He wants to take your depression and make it hope.  He wants to turn your sadness into joy.  And He doesn’t want to wait until you fulfill some set of ministry classes, give a bunch of money to church, or even have you attending church every Sunday for 5 years.  He wants to do this now.

So what’s He waiting for?  . . . Continue reading


Just One Touch!

Just one touch from Jesus Christ changes everything!  No matter where in life you are now, and no matter where you have been, God will not turn His back on you.  God will not reject you and turn you away.  Jesus went to the cross to pay the price necessary for your freedom.  No problem is too big or too small.  Jesus has already overcome all of them.  Jesus says at the end of the book of John:

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33 (NKJV)

Pay particular attention to the very last part of this verse.  Jesus says that He has “overcome the world.”  He overcame the world so that you too can overcome the world.  You see, His death on the cross was not just a symbolic event.  His death and resurrection changed the entire structure and functioning of the relationship between God and man.  That means everything in the world that tries to defeat you in this life, has already been crushed by the Power of Jesus Christ.  Every sickness, disease, lack, poverty, stress, strife, depression, trouble, and turmoil that the world throws at you was defeated when Jesus died on the cross and rose again three days later.  Nothing in this world is more powerful than Jesus Christ.  Therefore, when you become part of the Kingdom of God, you are given the exact same rights and authority as Jesus.  So you too have already overcome the world.

If it doesn’t feel like you have–if you are not seeing the peace, joy, wholeness, and abundance of God in your life right now, hold on tight.  You will learn more in this blog about how to make the reality of Jesus Christ a reality in your life.

Perhaps, you just need His touch.  Just a single touch from the King changes everything in your life.  Just one touch and you will be whole again (Mark 5:28)

The woman with a lifelong illness in Mark 5, thought to herself that she only needed “Just one touch…Just one touch and I will be whole again.”

And she was!  And so will you!

See “Just One Touch from the King” by Godfrey Birtill for the really amazing worship song that gave me some of the inspiration to start this blog.
