Today, we are celebrating our independence in the United States of America. On July 4, 1776 the Congress of the thirteen united States of America signed the Declaration of Independence. In it they proclaimed, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Recently, I visited Philadelphia during the middle of the night with a friend. We parked our car and walked around Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed. I walked around the building where Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington walked. In this building, fifty-six brave men mutually pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to uphold the ideals of liberty. They risked their lives to bring our country freedom from tyranny.

Right across the street from Independence Hall is a small building where the Liberty Bell is displayed for tourists. Back when the bell was forged, it was tradition to inscribe a verse from the Bible on every bell. What verse do you suppose the foundry chose to engrave around the edge of this bell when they cast it? It was as if the foundry knew that this bell would ring for freedom because they wrote, ‘Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof.”

This quote is straight from Leviticus 25:10. This verse was supposed to be yelled at the time of the year of Jubilee! Once every fifty years, every slave was set free and everyone had their debts canceled.

Another famous day of Liberty occurred when Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation on January 1, 1863. With a single stroke of his pen, he freed thousands of slaves. Those who were held captive were suddenly set free. The chains fell and black Americans were able to take their rightful place in society as free men.

Yet both of these significant events pale in comparison with a day two thousand years ago. On that day, Jesus made it possible for every person on earth to be free! Thomas Jefferson once said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots…” Our spiritual tree of liberty was watered once and for all with the blood of Christ.

Jesus’ purpose for coming to earth was to bring liberty and independence! When Adam sinned, he caused the entire human race to be put in bondage. Sin became the chains that kept mankind from fellowship with God. But, when Jesus died on the cross, He provided a way for every person to be freed from the bondage of sin. The Gospel is a worldwide emancipation proclamation of liberty from bondage to the power of sin.

Independence was the main reason Jesus came to earth. At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,To preach the acceptable year of the Lord“ (Luke 4:18-19).

Jesus came to preach deliverance to the captives, to set at liberty them that are bruised, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord’s favor. When is the acceptable year of the Lord’s favor? Why, the year of Jubilee, of course.

Jesus’ purpose for coming to earth was to bring Liberty and Independence!

In America we live in a land of great freedom. In America we are free to gather together to pray. In America we are free to serve God. But, if we do not exercise our freedoms, we are no better off than those who have no freedom. On Independance Day, I will humbly thank God for our freedom and ask Him to continue to bless our nation. Will you join me in prayer?

Your Missionary,

What are you thankful for today? I am thankful for friends and family, breath and health, food and provision, purpose and passion. I am thankful that you are in my life!

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy.” (Phil. 1:3-4)

The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Plantation after their first harvest in 1621. 53 Pilgrims and 93 Native Americans attended the First Thanksgiving and the feast lasted for three days (supposedly because that’s how long it took them to finish eating the leftover turkey). H. U. Westermayer wrote, “The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.”

Here are some thoughts about thankfulness:

It is not happy people that are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy.

Thankfulness consists of being more aware of what you have, than what you don’t.

What if everything you are thankful for remained, and everything you forgot to say thank-you for disappeared? What if you only got to keep the things you said “thank-you” for? Do you say “thank-you” often enough?

Thanksgiving should be far more then a day of celebration, it should be a lifestyle. Let’s go from thanksgiving to thanksliving. Robert Caspar Lintner said, “Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.”

Larry Ollison says, “Thankfulness is expressed in words, but measured with actions.”

Cicero, the Roman philosopher said, “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.” Thomas Fuller disagreed, “Gratitude is the least of the virtues, but ingratitude is the worst of vices.”

We should all remember Psalm 118:29, “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.”

What is the difference between those who are successful and those who are unsuccessful? Why are some personalities so irresistible? What drives people to achieve great things? The answer is: passion. Passion is what makes the world go around.

Passion is the fuel that drives romance. Passion is the motivation for accumulating large fortunes. Passion builds bridges over deep ravines, it creates a way where there is no way, it builds tall buildings, spreads religious ideas, unites warring tribes against an invader, and is the driving force behind most inventions. Passion creates millionaires, Presidents, Olympic medalists, and Super bowl champions. People with passion live longer, laugh louder, love stronger, hug more often, feel deeper, and achieve more.

All the best books were penned by someone with passion. The greatest songs of all time were first sung by someone with passion. Great poetry is only written by a person with passion. Nations are built, paintings are painted, building are constructed, and ideas are spread with passion.

Today’s society is often boring, bland, passionless. What is there to get passionate about? Some say there is nothing to be passionate about because the empty frontiers of the American west have been explored, the moon has been landed on, and the great secrets of the universe have been told. Is it true that the best movies have been made, the best books have been written, the best wisdom has been expressed? No! Untold secrets await those with passion, mighty empires remain to be built, space travel beckons the human race, paintings remain to be painted, great art will still be created by passionate artists. Those with passion can reach beyond the rational into the emotional realm. Only passion infused ideas live beyond the death of the first thinker of those ideas. A person without passion is like a car without gas, it might look nice, but it is not going anywhere.

What is your driving passion? It is vital for every human being to work towards a goal bigger then it is possible to reach. If you reach for the stars, you will not grab a handful of mud. Here are the “P’s of Passion” which will allow you to achieve great things.

1. Pinpoint your passion.

Find a passion that you can live and die for. Until you find something bigger then yourself to live for, you are not fully living. If your passion is to be a doctor, decide to be the best doctor you can be. If you want to be in business, give your all to your employers and they will reward you with increased salary and promotions. If you are called to be a missionary, commit to winning as many souls as possible. If your desire is to be a housewife, love your husband and your children with everything in you.

Do not do anything half-heartedly. If you are a student, be the best student you can possibly be. Strive for an A in every class. Go the extra mile for your teachers. Study for tests a little longer and proof-read your papers one more time. If you decide to be a passionate student, your GPA will reward you. If you are a minister, be the best minister you can be. If you are a teacher, teach with all your heart.

2. Prepare for your passion.

An uncommon passion require uncommon preparation. This is why your education is so important. Those who prepare properly go farther. Billy Graham was once asked what he would spend his time doing if he knew Jesus was coming back in three years. In response, the evangelist explained he would study for two years, and spend the last year preaching the Gospel. This is because he understood that to be truly effective, time must be spent in preparation.

3. Pursue your passion.

The passionate person allows nothing to get in his or her way. The passionate person never stops while there is still breath in his body. No wall, no roadblock, no temporary failure, and no discouraging words can distract the person of passion from the object of their passion. Keep your eyes on your goal. Focus. Possess your passion until your passion possesses you.

4. Persuade others with your passion.

The world will follow those with passion. Everyone wants to imitate a person who totally believes. Voters elect politicians who are sincere, teenagers wear tennis shoes of sports stars who win, businessmen listen to success speakers who are successful, people listen to the music of rock stars who put energy into their performances, and sinners get saved when a preacher preaches with power; all of these examples have one thing in common, people are following someone with passion.

The world can be conquered by one person with passion. If you will completely sell out to an idea and give your all to that idea, people will follow. Crowds cheer for those with passion, girls swoon for a passionate man, awards are given to those with passion, and multitudes follow someone with passion.

You can not win anyone to Christ if you do not live what you believe. Fake Christianity is the biggest turnoff in the world, but a real Christian can not help but persuade others by the life he or she lives. Your ministry to others will be effective to the degree that passion for Christ burns in your soul. Walk the walk as you talk the talk. Passion is the difference between dead religion and a living relationship with Christ.

            Passion wins more people to Jesus and raises more money then any strategic planning you can do. When people see you burn, they want what you have.

5. Promote your passion.

Let me tell you about my driving passion. This is what I live for. This is why I breathe. This is the reason God allowed me to be conceived. I absolutely believe in my life mission and nothing will get in my way. I stay up late and get up early to make my passion a reality. I skip meals, ignore the irrelevant, and focus on my destiny in order to create a tangible dream.

My passion is to reach as many people as possible in the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are millions of spiritually hungry people crying out for the bread of life. The lost are searching and I have what they are looking for. Lives hang in the balance; if I do not reach them, who will?

My passion is bigger then myself. It will take all of my energies for the rest of my life. No distraction will cause to turn away from reaching the lost. Nothing can cause me to stop because my passion stems from God’s passion for humankind. Passion comes as you spend time with God. If God was willing to give His only Son for me, should I not be willing to give my life for Him?

6. Possess your passion.

What is your passion? Pin-point it, prepare for it, pursue it, persuade others with it, promote it, and you will possess your passion! Your passionate dream can become a reality. Find your passion and do not stop until you possess it.

As I write this I am climbing Pike’s Peak in Colorado Springs, CO. I am climbing with a group of fifteen people. We woke up at 4:30 this morning so we could get an early start climbing the thirteen mile trail. The summit is 14,110 feet above sea level, about six thousand feet above where we are right now.

Several other people decided not to climb the mountain. Instead, they stayed home and watched movies. They told the rest of us that they were satisfied to hear the reports that we will bring home.

As I climb, I am reminded of Moses climbing Mt. Sinai. God had descended onto the mountaintop in order to meet with the Israelites. But, when the people had seen God’s power, they trembled in fear. There was thunder, lightning, and a loud trumpet blast that frightened them. They stayed as far away as possible and they told Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die” (Exodus 20:19).

Moses climbed the mountain to speak with God Almighty, but the Israelites were content to stay in the valley. The people did not want to hear the voice of God. Even though they were interested in what God was saying to Moses, they did not want to hear God themselves. “To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain. Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain….” (Exodus 24:17-18).

The Israelites saw the glory of the Lord, but only Moses experienced the glory of the Lord. Some people are content to sit in the valley and hear stories about what God is doing, instead of climbing to the mountaintop to visit with God themselves. It is possible to see the effects of God’s presence and to hear reports about it without actually experiencing His presence.      In the last several hours, I have discovered that hiking up a mountain this tall is mostly a matter of repeatedly putting one foot in front of the other. Even though my muscles may be sore, my breath may be short, and my body may be tired, I must keep climbing. The end is in sight, and I must reach my destination. It is hard work climbing a mountain, but the feeling when you reach the top is worth it.

God has a destination for your life. Reaching your mountain top is going to require hard work and a daily commitment to taking the next step. If you want to meet God, and to be all that He wants you to be, you need to leave the valley and start climbing the mountain. Step by step, day by day, you need to read your Bible, pray, and seek God’s presence, only then will you be able to experience God’s power as Moses did.

Are you going to stay in the valley or are you going to climb the mountain? Are you going to be satisfied with hearing reports about what God is doing or are you going to experience His hand yourself? If you want to climb the mountain, begin right now by taking a moment to talk with God.

Imagine a group of friends gathered together on the porch of your mansion in heaven. You have eaten a scrumptious meal and as the food settles, the group sits down to reminisce about the victories won on earth. “Moses, tell the story again about how God parted the Red Sea,” you say.

The great patriarch clears his throat and begins to tell the tale, “There were chariots as far as the eye could see. Pharaoh was shaking his spear. The water loomed up on either side of the passageway through the sea. God’s people were quaking in fear. But I lifted up my rod and suddenly the water came tumbling down. Let me tell you, we had a party in the desert that night.”

“Daniel, tell us about God saving you from the lions.” Breathlessly, you listen as he tells about how an angel shut the mouth of the big cats.

For hours, you ask each other questions.

“Luther, what were you feeling when you nailed the ninety-five thesis up on the door?”

“Noah, was it hard to build a big boat when you had never seen rain?”

“Elijah, were you surprised when fire actually fell from heaven?”

“William Carry, we want to hear about the thousands of heathens saved in India.”

“Billy, when you first started preaching, did you ever imagine you would minister to over two hundred million people in your lifetime?”

Suddenly, the party goes silent. A man, with nail scars in his hands, says, “There’s one story we haven’t heard yet this evening.”

A shiver goes up and down your spine. No matter how many times you see Jesus, it’s a rush just being in his presence. You wonder which of heaven’s heros Jesus is talking about. Then you realize everyone is looking at you. You glance at Jesus and his finger is pointed in your direction. You look over your shoulder and there is no one behind you.

Jesus says, “My friend, tell me about the people you witnessed to.”

Each day, you write the story you will tell for eternity. What tale will you tell of today’s activities?

1. Intercession is standing in the gap.

Ezekiel 22:30 “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.

Stone walls protected the farm animals from wolves and foxes, but if there was a hole in the wall, the sheep would be unprotected. The shepherd would stand in the gap to protect the animals. God is looking for those who will stand in the gap on behalf of the land.

2. Intercession means“you pray for someone else.”

You can’t intercede for yourself.

3. Intercession is the sixth piece of the armor of God.

Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

4. Intercession is taking up someone else’s burden as if it is your own.

5. Intercession is hard work and many people don’t do it because they are lazy and selfish.

People pray for themselves and ask for prayer but rarely take time to pray for others.

6. Intercession is a seed into someone’s life.

When you intercede for others, Jesus will intercede for you before God’s throne. The seed you sow becomes the harvest you reap.

7. An intercessor is not a“gap locator,”an intercessor is a “gap-stander.”

The intercessor stands on truth, not hearsay and gossip. The intercessor does not look for problems, they look for what God’s Word says.

8. Intercession brings healing and forgiveness of sins.

1 Kings 13:6 Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before.

9. Intercession is what Jesus does for us.

Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

In 1859, Charles Darwin wrote a book entitled “The Origin of Species.” Although this book destroyed the creationist viewpoint in the minds of many modern day scientists, there is something which can be learned from Darwin’s theories. The central tenet of the theory of evolution is the concept of  “the survival of the fittest.” This theory explains how gradual development brings change in the evolutionary process. According to Darwin, species change because only the fittest, smartest, or fastest animals survive the struggle of life.  Species with favorable traits survive longer then species with less favorable traits. The animals with superior traits live longer and produce more offspring who carry on the better traits.  The fittest animals become dominant in life’s game.

In the business world, we often see the principle of the “survival of the fittest” at work. Corporations who sell goods inexpensively with better service last longer then corporations who do not listen to the desires of their customers. Competitive companies survive longer in the corporate jungle.

A similar principle is at work in the spiritual world. In Darwin’s theory the strongest animals are the most likely to survive; in the same way, in the spiritual world, the strongest Christians are the ones most likely to see a move of God. God moves among those who are spiritually fit. Many people desire revival in their personal lives and churches, but only those who are spiritually ready will experience revival. I call this concept “revival of the fittest.” Revival will come to those who have built their spiritual survival skills.

There are several keys to becoming spiritually fit. Here are some concepts which can prepare you for revival.

1. Ignite a genuine passion for Jesus.

Pat Robertson says that the best definition for revival can be found in the words of a song “Turn your Eyes upon Jesus.”

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace.

The first step towards revival comes when we turn our eyes toward Jesus. When we look him in the eyes, the glory and anointing of God invades our hearts and the trivial details of life become unimportant.

2. Develop an abhorrence for sin.

When we see Jesus, a new standard is set for us to imitate. The perfection of Jesus causes us to notice the dirty condition of our own lives and the sin which was once considered normal becomes abhorrent to us. As Job said, “My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5-6).

After George Bush was elected in 1988, he gave a speech that made some American farmers upset. In that speech, he mentioned that he did not like eating broccoli and that he would not allow anyone to bring any broccoli into the White House since he hated it so much. He said that when he was a kid, his mom made him eat it, but now that he was President, no one could force him to eat the green vegetable. Of course, all the broccoli farmers were mad at him and a couple of weeks later they sent an entire semi-truck full of broccoli to the White House. George Bush thanked them and promptly gave the broccoli away to a non-profit organization that feeds the poor. President Bush did not allow a single piece of broccoli into his house. Why? Because he abhorred the stuff.

If we will abhor sin, we will not allow a single sinful desire into our brains. God absolutely hates sin. He hates it so much that he refuses to stand in the presence of sin. When we spend time with Jesus, we begin to hate sin as well. Revival will not come until we hate sin so much that we remove every vestige of sin from our lives.

Sinful desire are like flies buzzing around one=s head. A fly will buzz right in front of your face and then have the boldness of land directly on your nose. You swat it away, but as soon as you go back to working, the fly lands again. Giving into sin is like allowing a dirty, germ filled fly to walk across your face. Just as you continually shoe the fly away, you must also continually rid your mind of sinful thoughts. You will not be free from that sinful desire until you kill it

The power of God is the flyswatter that kills sin. This power can change the lives of prostitutes, drug addicts, liers, alcoholics, and those addicted to pornography.  Satan may be the king of the flies, but we have a Holy Spirit fly swatter to put him in his place.

Personal development is “intentional, deliberate growth and advancement.” Before one can lead others, one must lead oneself. The best indication of being able to lead oneself is continual daily improvement in one’s life.

For many years, I have kept a small paper in the front of my Bible with my personal development goals. Here is my daily checklist:

Spiritual Development

Prayer (Meditation & Visualization)

Scripture Memory

Bible Reading

Listening to the Bible

Language Development

Spanish Study

Greek Study

Product Development

Writing (1 Hour)

Sermon Practice

Relationship Development

Who did I write, e-mail, call, or meet with?

How are my family relations?

Personal Development

Exercise

Lifelong Learning (Motivational, Business, Classical Literature, Church History, Theology)

How are you developing yourself every day?

A stewardship is a trust. A steward is “one called to exercise responsible care over possessions entrusted to him or her.” We’re stewards over our time, our talents, and our resources”  (Covey, First Things First, p. 129). Stewardship involves a sense of being accountable to someone or something higher than self.”

Stewardship: taking care of another’s stuff as if it is your own.

– Everything we have is a gift from God…our time, talents, air we breath, water we drink, spouse, etc.

Everything we have comes from God.

1 Chronicles 29:14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”

Everything we give God, comes from Him.

– Everything we give comes from God…He still maintains ownership…

– The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof…

            – You don’t have any rights, relationships, or resources but what God has given you.

How can you get arrogant if everything you have comes from God?

Matthew 25:14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them”  – We are God’s servants with His goods.

Matthew 25:19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them” – There will be a reckoning…God will hold us accountable for what he has given us.

– There is no privilege without responsibility. There is no promotion without faithfulness.

We are stewards of God’s resources…money, opportunity, people’s lives, open doors,

In the parable of the talents, the stewards produced more than they were given.

Stewardship: To leave things better than when we found it.

Stewards make choices that are good for the kingdom… good for the family…it might cause them temporary discomfort…but they know it is best for the kingdom.

1. The minister is first called to minister to the Lord.“Now take Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to Me as priest…”(Exodus 28:1).
2. The minister is anointed and consecrated.“And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests”(Exodus 30:30).
3. The minister can minister through music.“They were ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they served in their office according to their order”(1 Chron. 6:32).
4. Ministers are appointed.“And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel”(1 Chron. 16:4).
5. Ministers are ones who are set apart for God’s service.Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to give the blessing in His name forever”(1 Chron 23:13).
6. Ministers are authorized to receive offerings.“For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil, to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are, where the priests who minister and the gatekeepers and the singers are; and we will not neglect the house of our God”(Nehemiah 10:39).
7. Ministers are a cause for rejoicing.“…Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered”(Nehemiah 12:44).
8. Ministers are to give God pleasure.“Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure”(Psalm 103:21).
9. Ministers should be on-fire for God.“Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire”(Psalm 104:4).
10. Ministers stand as intercessors between God and His people.“Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not give Your heritage to reproach…”(Joel 2:17).
11. Ministering to the poor is like ministering to Jesus.“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?”(Matthew 25:44).
12. Women ministered to Jesus’ needs.“And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar”(Matthew 27:55).
13. Ministers are called to “minister the word.”“just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us”(Luke 1:2).
14. Being called to minister to others begins with a time of ministering to the Lord.“As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”(Acts 13:2).
15. Paul was personally called by Jesus to be a minister.“But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you”(Acts 26:16).
16. The call to ministry is a gift given by grace.“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness” (Romans 12:6-8).
17. Politicians and rulers are “ministers” of God.“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil” (Romans 13:3-5).
18. Ministers minister Jesus Christ and the Gospel.“that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit”(Romans 15:16).
19. Ministry is more than spiritual enlightenment, it is also physical help.“For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things”(Romans 15:27).
20. God uses ministers to bring people to salvation.“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?”(1 Corinthians 3:5).
21. We are ministers of the new covenant.“…who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”(2 Corinthians 3:6).
22. God has given us the “ministry of reconciliation.”“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation”(2 Corinthians 5:18).
23. We are ministers of Christ.“Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more…”(2 Corinthians 11:23).
24. We become ministers according to the gift of God’s grace.“I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power”(Ephesians 3:7).
25. We are ministers of the Gospel.“the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister”(Col 1:23).
26. The ministry is a stewardship.“…I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you…”(Col. 1:25).
27. We must “take heed” to the ministry God has given us.“Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”(Col. 4:17).
28. God wants to put faithful men into ministry.“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry”(1 Timothy 1:12).
29. It is possible to be a “good minister.”“If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed”(1 Timothy 4:6).
30. God will not forget our ministry.“For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister”(Hebrews 6:10).
31. We are to use our gifts to minister to one another.“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God”(1 Peter 4:10).
32. We are to minister to the best of our ability.“If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:11).

Have you ever experienced an “Oh, my God” moment? I’m not talking about saying this in a flippant and irreverent way, but in the most profound sense of the term.

Recently, I sat down after a crusade, put my head in my hands, and whispered “Oh, my God.” No other term would suffice to express the depth of what I was feeling. The anointing of God was so powerful during worship. I felt God’s presence so strongly as I preached. Thousands gave their lives to Jesus for the first time. A blind man’s eyes opened. A crippled lady walked for the first time.

An “Oh, my God” moment is when heaven shines upon earth, when God transcends time and space and breaks in upon our normal everyday existence.

When I hear a mute boy speak for the first time in his life, all I can say is “Oh, my God.” When I see an alcoholic father become a Christian and forsake drinking, all I can say is “Oh, my God.” When I see thousands of Muslims raise their hands to receive Jesus, all I can say is “Oh, my God.” In these moments, you KNOW that God is real and that He cares for each of us!

In the next few months, I anticipate having several “Oh, my God” moments as we travel to country after country sharing the good news about Jesus Christ.

Have you ever experienced an “Oh, my God” moment? A time when God amazed you with His goodness? I want to hear about what God has done for you. Use the tear-off coupon at the bottom of this letter to tell us about the great victories you have experienced recently. Or, tell us what miracles you need RIGHT NOW and we will pray for you to have an “Oh, My God” moment when God miraculously meets your need.

I am praying for YOU to have many  “Oh my God” moments. I want you to experience miracles like never before. I am praying for your family members to be saved…for the money in your bank account to increase…for healing to come to your body. I believe you will experience MIRACLES so big that all you will be able to say is “Oh, my God, thank-you for being so good!”

1.  Proof-Positive          

Miracles prove the reality of God’s existence. Mentally, I questioned the existence of God, until I began seeing miracles. The problem with this is that once you have proof, you no longer need faith.

2. To bring people to Jesus 

Saint Augustine, one of the great Christian thinkers said, “I should not be a Christian but for the miracles.” Marilyn Hickey told me “Miracles are like the dinner bell which calls people to the banqueting table.” Miracles are God’s advertisement system.

3. To lift up the name of Jesus.

One of the Hebrew words for miracles is also used for a banner on top of a tall pole. Because it is up so high in the air, it enables the banner to be seen from a long distance. God performs mighty signs so people who are not close to Him can see a manifestation of His presence.

4. That you may believe.

John wrote, “Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:30‑31 – emphasis added).

5. To authenticate Jesus

When a school applies for accreditation, it must prove it is a good school. Peter preached, “Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him” (Acts 2:22). God used miracles to prove Jesus was authentic.

6. To confirm our salvation.

The writer of Hebrews said, “Salvation… was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will” (Hebrews 2:3-4).

7. To bring people to repentance.

Jesus denounced the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. He said, “Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes” (Matthew 11:21).

8. To demonstrate God’s compassion

Many times, our Father does miracles simply because He cares for His children (Matt. 9:36).
