So if it's going to be hard to reach even the most modest of goals, why not go for all we want? All Things Are Possible, Even For A Nobody Before his epic battle with Goliath, David was just a lowly shepherd working for his dad. But even though he was a nobody, he had learned to trust God and that changed everything.

But if our faith is going to bring us a harvest of blessings, we need to relearn some valuable principles. Why Your Prayers Don't Get Answered The greatest enemy of our faith isn't something that comes against us, it's something that rises up within us. Gratitude or Abundance - Which Comes First? Being grateful for abundance before we experience it may seem like putting the cart before the horse, but it's really all about realizing what we already have. Introduction to Prosperity - The Rich Get Richer Unlike some religions that teach a spiritual person has to renounce wealth, the Bible teaches us that we need to increase it.

Justice and punishment are two things that should go together, but how often do we experience them here on earth? No matter how we may feel about Saddam’s trial and execution, his final judgment, like everyone’s, will be just. Christians in America - An Unbelieving Generation? What would Jesus say about our faith? For most Christians the answer might be that He would be disappointed. Like His original disciples, we get too caught up in our problems and lose sight of His power. Introduction to Prosperity - Be Faithful With Money The idea that truly spiritual people should not be concerned with worldly riches, isn't what Jesus taught. Instead, He taught that our faithfulness with money determines whether or not we will be entrusted with the true riches.

There are three kinds of action that we need to take in order to get what we want. Overcoming Depression: A Lesson From The Life Of Elijah Elijah saw God work miracles. But after some of his greatest victories, some mountain top experiences, his life was threatened and his world crumbled. God's dealings with Elijah to help him overcome his depression help us learn how we too can overcome. Jesus Never Preached Poverty Does God want us to be rich?

And with God's help, they empower us overcome the doubts and fears that try to keep us from reaching our dreams. Parable Of The Sower: A Lesson On Faith And Abundance Through our words and prayers we sow seeds of faith. The parable of the sower tells us how we can enjoy more of God's blessings once we understand the best soil for sowing those seeds. David And Goliath: What Was He Thinking? It may be easy to assume that David's faith never wavered when he faced Goliath, but if he was a normal human being, he probably had his doubts. When we pursue our dreams we will come up against "Goliaths" of all kinds, and we will have to deal with our doubts and fears. Fortunately, there is a simple way to overcome them and reach our dreams. Answered Prayer: What God Expects From Us When our prayers don't get answered we start to question a lot of things. But the story of the Canaanite woman from the New Testament teaches us that there is only one thing that God expects from us. Christ's Death: Was It Good Enough? We often struggle with guilt over the sins we've committed, or because we feel that we're just not good enough. But because of Christ's death, we are completely righteous and totally forgiven. It is God's gift to us and we can't earn it, or add to it, all we have to do is receive it. Is Unbelief Ruining Your Life? The Children of Israel that came out of Egypt believed a lie and it cost them their lives. They were rescued from slavery and given the opportunity of a lifetime, but they lost it because of their unbelief. When we take their example as a warning, and choose to confront our unbelief with the truth, we will experience God's blessings.

There are five steps we can that will help us enjoy all the blessings He wants to give us.

The key to having our prayers answered is to hold on to our faith even when things go wrong. What If God Is Late? We all face times in our lives when we feel that we need immediate answers from God. In the Old Testament story of how Saul lost his kingdom, we learn some important lessons about what we should do when feel like God is running a little late.

By defeating Goliath, David was able to go from a being simple shepherd boy to becoming the king of Israel. From David's life we learn how we can overcome the obstacles we face, and what it takes to become an "overnight" success. Where Are God's Miracles? When things in our lives aren't going as we had hoped, and we wonder what happened to the miracles we read about in the Bible, the story of Gideon from the Old Testament shows us that God never abandons us. If we will learn to trust God again, miracles can happen. Faith That Moves Mountains: First, Forget The Mountain When Jesus talked about faith that moves mountains, it doesn't matter if the mountain was a real one or just a symbol. What He does tell us is that our faith can do a lot more than we think.
