Not By Might, Nor By Power

I have been going through an intense battle spiritually. I don't know if it's because of the conference we have coming up in September or if it's because I have decided to pursue God with everything I have or maybe it's both.
I was talking to God on Sunday morning and I told Him that I was tired and I needed His strength and power to flow in my life. It was one of those Sundays where I didn't feel like worshipping but I did regardless because I needed God to speak to me and I was pursuing God like crazy. During the worship service I didn't feel anything; during the preaching I didn't feel anything it wasn't until after everyone was dismissed and I was standing there talking to God and a word from the Lord came to me "It's not by might nor by power but by my spirit." At that moment my spirit man jumped and I was broken before God in His presence. I stood there, in amazement that God would love me in spite of me.
I guess that's what grace is all about. Check back soon; I am starting a couple of different studies that I am going to share with everyone that will read them.

Facing Your Giants

I started one of the best books I have read in about a year the other night. It was written by Max Lucado entitled "Facing Your Giants." I purchased the book simply because I love the story of David and Goliath but as I began to read the book I couldn't put it down. It's very well written and it causes you to stop and take a look at yourself and what your own giants are that you face so you can live a victorious life.

My Prayer

God; I can't do this on my own anymore; I need your help now more than ever. I am sick of pretending that I can do it on my own. God please I need your help to get free; please visit me and change my thoughts and feelings. I know you are my source and you are the one that can bring about change for my life. Please Lord; my soul longs for you and my heart thirsts for you in a dry and waterless land. I love you and I want to bring honor to you.
