You are not inconveniencing God by praying bold. Bold prayers get God’s attention. Bold prayers cause angels to go to work. Bold prayers open doors you could never open. Bold prayers turn impossible situations around.

We are thankful for your generosity! You are providing care for people in Zambia and getting the hope of the gospel of Jesus to people all around the world.

God doesn’t stop every difficulty. He doesn’t prevent every attack, but He wouldn’t have allowed it if it was going to keep you from your purpose.

We have ideas and goals we want to accomplish, but we’re not sure. “Is this my plan or is this God’s plan?” David said in Psalm 37, “If you will commit your ways to the Lord, if you will trust Him and do good, then God will give you the desires of your heart.”

One reason we don’t see God do great things is we’re only asking for small things. Are you asking for your dreams, are you asking for something over your head, those secret petitions He’s put in your heart?

I’m trying to convince you to become a prisoner of hope, to where you can’t be talked out of it. Because when you do, God says double is coming.

Nothing you’ve been through has been random. It’s not happenstance or bad luck. God is still in control. You have to trust that He’s sovereign, that what He’s already decided for you will come to pass, that the good things in your future are unstoppable.

You have to get rid of that survival mentality and have a double mentality. Instead of being a prisoner of doubt, switch over to being a prisoner of hope. Believe God is working.

God never brings you out the same. When you understand this principle, you won’t live bitter when people do you wrong, you won’t fall apart when you go through loss, you won't give up on your dreams. Instead, you know it’s setting you up for something greater.

Even if it is your fault, even if you made the mess, God’s mercy is bigger than any mistake. He never gives up on you. He’s the God of another chance. His arms are still open wide. He can still get you to your destiny.

The enemy would love for us to be a prisoner of doubt, a prisoner of shame, a prisoner of bitterness. You’re in the wrong prison. God wants to pay you back. Become a prisoner of hope.

Be a prisoner of hope. You’ve seen God do it before and I know He’ll do it again. That’s what sets you up to see the double, the abundance, the greatness of our God.

In difficult times, the enemy loves to whisper 'never' lies. “You’ll never be happy. You’ll never get well, never meet someone, never get out of this problem.” Don’t believe those lies. He wouldn’t be telling you that if he didn’t know there was something great in front of you.

You may be having a difficult time now, but keep the right perspective. That trouble has qualified you for double. It’s not there to set you back; it’s setting you up for increase, for favor, for new levels.

God won’t keep you from all the trouble, but He said in Zechariah 9, “If you will be a prisoner of hope, I will restore double back to you.”

We are grateful for the transformative power of faith and community. We love you!

You may have failed in the past, but that’s what you did, not who you are. Failure is an event, not a person.

Make sure you have the right image of God. He’s for you. He has a great plan for your life. He’s not focused on all your failures. He has mercy for every mistake. He’s waiting to gladly welcome you. All you have to do is take that step toward Him.

Come boldly to the throne. Believe that you’re loved, that you’re valuable, that you’re worthy. Don’t let a wrong image of God keep you from the blessings, the favor, the joy that belongs to you.

Every time you feed worry, that’s energy that you could be using to feed faith. When you feed doubts, that’s taking away from the dreams you could be feeding. Bottom line: don’t feed what you don’t want to grow. Check out Joel's message, 'Feed Your Faith': bit.ly/3LwFSDa
