Thought of the day
written by Joel Osteen
July 22 2012
You Are Closer Than You Think 
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE ";…He said to the paralytic, ‘I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, ‘We never saw anything like this!’"
(Mark 2:10b-12, NKJ) 
TODAY'S WORD In Mark chapter two, the Bible talks about a man who was paralyzed. He heard that Jesus was in town teaching at another house and knew that He could heal him. The paralyzed man convinced four of his friends to carry him on his bed over to where Jesus was. When they arrived, the house was so packed that they couldn’t get in. Do you know what happened next? Instead of just giving up and going home, the man was so determined to get his miracle that he convinced his friends to climb up on the roof, cut a hole in it, and lower him down to where Jesus was! Now this man understood that you are closest to your victory when you face the greatest opposition. A lot of people would have just given up. They would have seen the crowd and gone home—even though they were just a few feet away from their miracle. Don’t let that be you! What are you believing for? Don’t give up just because there is opposition. Don’t let others discourage you from seeing your miracle. Keep pressing through today because you are closer than you think to the victory God has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY "Heavenly Father, today I release all of my cares and anxieties on You. I trust that my breakthrough is coming. I choose to press in and stand strong. I believe Your Word, and I believe that You will reward me as I diligently seek after You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."

God is always faithful to us. He will never let us down. He has so much in store for us. Our future in Him is secured. We all have a purpose beyond salvation....So look beyond...and know what we are being made for. We all have a part to play in God's kingdom cause... not just to be blessed...but also pass on that blessing to all people-every nation. |

just last night, God really touched my heart..He answered each and every prayer & it all was revealed yesterday. i'm still a little "if"-y but i know God does have much more in store for me. So all of you, pray about everything and worry not. Leave all your worries @ the feet of Jesus, and he will pick them right up. <3 |

Amen! This is such a great enlightenment of the Word, v12...is our job to do what He said. Suppose this man did not obey what Jesus said; would be he healed? No! In the same way with us today... Hes been telling us to get up from any situation or circumstances we are facing in life today but we refuse to do it.. we refuse to pick up and fold the bed we have laid upon; the reason is we are waiting for God to do it for us .God has already provided everything we need through Jesus, which is the Word... and all we need to do is put it on. Amen! Thank You Lord! |
