Acts 2:2, 3 "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."The most important thing that my dad taught me was that Heaven’s fire doesn’t just burn in the hearts of certain people. It is available to us all when we choose it. You can be full of Heaven’s fire too. You can light yourself up with love, joy, optimism, enthusiasm, energy, vitality, and oneness with God. You can brighten up the souls, warm up the hearts, and light up the lives of those around you. You can be a flame of goodness in an often dark and cold world. You can take your flickering candle and turn it into a blazing torch for everyone to see. You can share your generous fire and light a candle inside of each person you meet as well. Don’t let yourself be a smoldering ember in this life. Live well, burn bright, and let Heaven see your fire.

Focus

When you focus your heart and mind upon God and commit yourself to fulfill His purpose through small daily steps, supernatural energy floods into your life. Sadly, many people miss that mark because they forget God until they face a crisis like COVID-19 or some other earth-shattering situation. One of the most common regrets in times of trouble is that people forsake being true to the goals they set for themselves in life. Most people admit to not honoring even half of the goals that were meaningful to them, and they end up with a life filled with regrets. Let this season of trial become your wake-up call to not forsake the things that are important to you or that you are blessed with. Good health, a good job, or the simple blessings of everyday bring a level of freedom and opportunity very few people realize until they no longer have it. As they say, there are seven days in the week and “someday” isn’t one of them. Live everyday with a focus and praise for God's abundant blessings. They are new every morning and fulfilled every day.

Restored

Elisha warned the Shunammite woman about a famine that was coming upon the land and told her to take her family to another country until it was over in 2 Kings 8:1. The woman obeyed the Word of the Lord spoken through Elisha and took her entire household to live in the land of the Philistines.  After the famine ended, the woman returned to Shunem only to find that during the time she was gone, her house and land had been seized. When she went to the king to ask for the return of her property, Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, was with the king telling him how this woman's son had been raised from the dead.  When the king realized who she was, he immediately declared in 2 Kings 8:6, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now." God not only provided for this Shunammite woman during the seven years of famine, but He also restored all she had lost during the time that she was away from her homeland. She experienced a supernatural, divine provision because of her faithfulness to God. When you remain faithful in giving, you are positioned for financial restoration, as well as restoration in all areas equally as important or even more valuable.  God can restore your family, friends, job, possessions, and more when this crisis passes. Don't give up on God and He won't give up on you!

More than Enough

The Lord is crying out to you to expect the best, have faith through the worst, and to praise Him in all things. There seems to be a spirit of  mediocrity that has invaded many a Christians life and they have accept that being mediocre is normal. 

You may fall into that category and have continually accepted the lowest amount of God’s power needed to maintain what you have all ready received from God. 
I believe God is saying to you today not to forsake His power and recognize there's so much more to Him than you realize. He has set before us an open door and declared that He is more than enough in every situation. So don't settle for less, but expect and receive the abundance of the blessings of God. He is more than enough!

Rest In The Lord

Psalm 37:7 "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass."
Negative thoughts block your creativity and problem solving abilities, as does worrying about what others do and say. Make up your mind to embrace personal changes as an opportunity to be different and rise above the commotion of life. There is always a benefit and opportunity when you replace anticipation with expectancy  You will notice a more powerful attitude of faith growing within you each passing day. So, choose your thoughts and attitudes about each change you encounter and that you make. Recognize how your positive thoughts build bridges to possibilities and opportunities in your present and future. Let your mind and spirit rest in the hope of the Lord. and quit fretting over what people do or say. It's that relaxation that allows you to deal well with any positive changes in your lifestyle and mindset. Create smart goals so you can consciously guide the changes you anticipate making. Realistic goal setting helps you decide how to make the changes happen that you need. It also helps you experience your successes through the grace and glory of God in spite of what people say and do. Your goal is to please God, rest in Him, and not let others persuade you that you can't change. Just wait patiently on Him and see Him do in you what nobody else can do.

Dine at the Master's Table

Why do you accept seconds rather than do what is  needed to keep your faith fresh and really trust God in all things.? It appears that many in the church would rather ride a dead horse into the ground before accepting the necessary changes that would make their faith relevant to the problems they face today. You have to refuse to be afraid of change or think that change is always bad. God is real and so is life and change is going to come whether you like it or not. It's what you do with it that makes the difference.You've heard many talk about old time faith, but faith is never old time. It always on time faith that you read about in Hebrews 11. It's not about just getting by, but it's about persevering even in the worst possible conditions. Nobody in that chapter settled for seconds and neither should you. If God said it, then believe it, accept it, and receive it. Let your faith be fresh and full and dine at the Master's table!

You are important to God and you are needed to do His work.  It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody else to do something someday.  Your someday is now and the somebody the world needs is you equipped with the gifts God has place within you. 

Don't waste another day-rejoice is His salvation, speak His Word, and see His glory manifested in the lives of those who so desperately nee Him. Who knows, the next Billy Graham may be among those that you reach today.
