Jesus told us in the book of Matthew, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Sometimes, our faith journey is going to cost us. The price we pay for walking in obedience requires us to speak up, accept difficulty, being willing to be led, and letting go.

When we have the right attitude, with a willing heart, to walk out the calling laid before us, we can seize the opportunities that lie ahead to bring glory and honor to our Heavenly Father!

Despite the opposition we face, we must stay determined to continue walking in faith.

We have an outrageously generous God who pours out never ending love, grace and mercy to each of us; therefore we should be outrageously generous with our time, treasure, and talents as stewards who point others to Jesus.

When we act with boldness on the truth of God’s word, we can be sure that accusations will come. We must be prepared to act appropriately with love and authenticity. We must remain confident in who we are- children of the Risen King, fully dependent on Him.

God is faithful! He will provide life-changing opportunities, lasting truth, everlasting relief and true hope to all who believe they are saved by the death and resurrection of Christ.

When God Moves His Children will: commit to grow together, pay attention, share core beliefs, meet needs, actively participate, and see the evidence.

When we take our first faith step we see things things in action: complete obedience to the calling God has laid before us, a devotion to prayer, being grounded in scripture, seeking the Lord and acting in faith. What is your next faith step?

In the first chapter of Acts, Jesus promises the disciples they will soon be baptized with the power of the Holy Spirit, and be witnesses for Jesus in Jerusalem, Judea, to the ends of the earth. He was preparing the disciples to ACT as his witnesses. How are you being a witness for Jesus in your life?
