Seeing Rejection As Redirection

They say to write about what you know, but this is a topic that I'm not too thrilled to be familiar with.

Rejection.

Ugh. I mean even the word is ugly. We've all experienced it in our lives at one point or another. It comes with many different faces and in many different forms. Whether it be from a significant other, friend, family member, job, etc. Its painful, its scarring and its messy. If we're not careful we can allow it to turn us into a person that we are not.

In my own personal life I've experienced it more times than I can count. I've been rejected from jobs that I thought I was qualified for, family has left me, I've given my all to guys that just sent up the peace sign, and "best friends forever" have just turned into those Facebook friends that pop up every now and again. In the past I've allowed it to make me question if I'm good enough, pretty enough, funny enough, smart enough and made me examine every part of who I am and what I have to offer.

"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails."
-Proverbs 19:21

Have you ever heard that saying that says "Rejection is Gods protection"? It may sound cheesy and cliché, but, my friends, it is oh so true. Looking back on those situations in my life I'm so thankful that the Lords hand was on my heart and protected me from what I THOUGHT I wanted. His thoughts are not our thought and His ways are not our ways. (Isaiah 55:8) He sees things that we cannot see and experiencing some rejection right now is much easier than experiencing destruction later. Allow the Lord to calm your heart and lean on Him in those times all the more.

Who you are is not found in the job you have, the numbers you have in your contact list, who you have on your arm or how much money you have in your bank. You are the child of a King. Point blank period. His plans for you are far greater than you can fathom. So next time you experience a "no" just say "Thanks Jesus. I know that's you nudging me in another direction."

You are loved. You are cherished. You are valued. He wants the best for you.


Be blessed.
Love you all.

Hope In The Unknown

Today I have some good news and some bad news for you:

Pain is real. Heartbreak is real. Sadness is real. Poverty is real. War is real. Backstabbing is real. Loneliness is real. Failure is real. Death is real.

BUT..... So is hope. Hope is real. 

"What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later."
-Romans 8:18

I lost my 18 year old brother a little over 2 years ago in a way that no one should ever have to lose a family member. I can still remember the feeling I had when my dad called me after work and told me to pull my car over because he had something he needed to tell me. My whole world changed that day. October 24, 2013 is a day that is forever engrained in my head and in my heart. That is the day that I found out what real hope is. 

In the days after, leading up to his funeral, I felt a pain that I have never felt in my life, but I also felt this weird sense of peace that I kept telling myself was delusion because "it hadn't set in yet". Today I know that's not what it was. People who saw me that week kept telling and asking me things like "You seem so at peace.", "How are you smiling right now?", "Why aren't you a total mess?"

I have two words for that: Jesus & Hope.

Jesus IS hope, my friends. He is the author and creator of hope and He longs to love on you and hold you through the battles of this life. You weren't put on this earth to fight alone. You have a Saviour that literally longs to fight FOR you. He wants you to rest in Him. To rest in His goodness and faithfulness.

Today, I have used the tragedy of losing my brother to minister to so many people that have gone through what I have or have gone through what he did in the years before he died. The Lord gives purpose for pain. He brings healing in times of not understanding why bad things happen. I challenge you to trust Him and have hope in Him. He has never failed me. Not once in my 23 years of living on this planet.

Trust him in pain. Trust him in the sadness, in your failed relationships, unemployment, in the strife of life, when friends betray you, when your heart is broken, when you're rejected...... Have hope in the unknown.

 Jesus/Hope changes everything.

" We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure...."
-Hebrews 6:19

How Do You Minister To Those Living In the Homosexual Lifestyle?

One of our favorite teachers of today here at WeLivePure, Francis Chan, breaks down a really taboo subject that a lot of us seem to avoid these days. Listen to him explain it with such grace yet complete boldness.
 

“If you disagree with God on an issue, would you still submit to him? I really believe that’s the core issue here.”

Love you all.

Sometimes I cry...

Sometimes I cry…

When no one is watching,

Cold and alone, the air becomes heavy and graceless,

The pain devours me like a fire engulfing an abandoned building,

Flashes of lightning burst across my sky,

Sometimes I cry…

When no one is near,

Fear and all consuming guilt rage inside my heart,

The thrashing of sorrow plays boisterously,

whispering lies into my ear,

Sometimes I cry…

When surrounded by crowds,

Swallowed up by the company of strangers who know me,

Following the footsteps of familiar shadowy figures,

Covered by billowing, blackened, smokey clouds,

Sometimes I cry…

In the presence of the King,

He shares my burdens and brings a refreshing song,

Healing my wounds and diseases, treating my sores,

Granting me access the ever fleeting, yet eternal peace

“Come, let us return to the Lord . He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence. Oh, that we might know the Lord ! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”

Hosea 6:1-3 NLT

Life is filled with many ups, downs, and unexpected turns. At times, it can feel like life itself is unpredictable. Unanswered questions and unresolved issues can hinder us as we try to find our way on the road of life. Have you ever felt like giving up? Has it ever felt like every turn of life was more unbearable than the last? As you read this, I challenge you to change your perspective about the issues in your life. Believe it or not, you didn't create the problems that are present in your life all by yourself. Negative thoughts and degrading self images are your biggest opponent because they directly object the word of God. God has amazing plans for your life and the only thing that can stop or slow them down is your refusal to believe it. Stop whatever you're doing right now and pray to God for His will to be done in your life. This means that all of your deficiencies are planned for. All of your flaws are covered. It is in God's plan for your future for your addiction to be broken, for your hurts to be healed, and for your unresolved issued to be addressed and corrected. Make a decision to believe God right now and witness His faithfulness!

Why Does God Allow Suffering?

Why does God allow suffering?

I have been in a tough spot this past week.  My six year old son had surgery on his hips and has been in quite a bit of pain every day.  He has a cast on both legs so he cannot roll over or anything.  It’s stressful on myself and my wife because he is nonverbal so he can’t tell us what hurts or how we can help him.  I think it’s the unknowing that makes it worse.  This then drives a wedge between my wife and I because we are on edge.  Luckily we know God is bigger and we talk to each other (she’s better at this than I, that’s one of the things I’m working on).  

That begs the question, why does God allow us to suffer?  We suffer because of sin.  I also believe that suffering brings us to Christ.  We turn to Him when we are in need.  He has always been faithful to me and has always prevailed.  

1 Peter 1:6-7 says “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ”

The struggle is real though, I still get angry sometimes.  I. Get. Angry.  Very angry, very quickly.  I struggle with this from time to time in stressful situations.  It is usually fleeting, but strong none the less.  I’m never angry at God, but I do get angry at the situation and have to be reminded that this too will pass and God is good.  I think God is trying to get me back to the patience that I had before, and I’m working on it.

If you take a look at Job 42:5, he says “My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.”  Job endured much suffering, but it brought him an intimacy with the Lord.

I also believe that suffering and healing will help me in my journey to minister to people in their time of suffering.  I can walk alongside them since I have been on this journey before.If you are suffering, reach out to God.  Tell him you love him, tell him of your pain, and ask for healing.  Just know that this triall will pass, and you will be closer to Him because of it.

Expect For the Unexpectant

Often times we feel as if people need to have the right intentions or the right expectations in order for God to move on their lives. Well Acts 3 gives us reason to believe this is not the case.

We can believe FOR and expect FOR others...just a Paul and John believed for the beggar. Their love for that man resulted in a miraculous move of God. It is time that we love others like this and allow God to move on them in a similar way!

The Effect of Your Blessing

As I like to do, let me first define the word blessing.

Blessing:

1: consecrated; sacred; holy; sanctified: the Blessed Sacrament.

2: worthy of adoration, reverence, or worship: the Blessed Trinity.

3: divinely or supremely favoured; fortunate: to be blessed with a strong, healthy body; blessed with an ability to find friends.

4: an endowment of great power.

Today I want to take a moment to expand your understanding. I often times find myself hearing people say things like "I received a blessing of 20 dollars today" or "oh he gave you an 'A' that's a blessing!"

I want to challenge statements like those and show you that they are incorrect. In fact, when things like that happen they are not blessings, but instead the effect of the blessing God has given you.

That 4th definition above states that a blessing is a "a great endowment of power." Well my wonderful people of God, once God has endowed you with power it is done...you are blessed! Once you are blessed by God your life should reflect that and you should be expectant of great things happening as a result of your blessing.

This is the type of revelation that us as believers must gain in order to take advantage of the life that God has for us.In the book of John, Jesus says, "blessed are those who believe and have not seen."
 
Proverbs 8: 32 says "Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways."
 
Proverbs 28:14 says "Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD"

 Jeremiah 7:17 says "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him."

Ladies and gentleman, I know that I have been blessed by God; and as a man who is blessed by the God of all that we know and have yet to know I am not afraid to say that it is only natural that everything around me should be the effect of my blessing from God.

I am blessed therefore my finances will reflect that, my health will reflect that, my relationships will reflect that. I AM BLESSED BY GOD.

Take hold of the scriptures my friends and know that from now on everything you encounter should be the effect of your blessing. Claim it as your own! The word tells you that you have been perfected by the sacrifice of Jesus and that you are blessed because you believe. Per the 1st definition above you are holy and sacred. You are the blessed property of God himself and it is time that you let satan know it.

Until next time.....

When Temptation Comes..

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ ” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

-Matthew 4:1-11 NIV

These verses show that Satan's goal was to attack Jesus' faith on three very specific grounds. This attack is portrayed when Satan tempts Christ to turn bread to stone, throw Himself down to see if God will disperse His angels, and fall down and worship Satan.

 This is an attack on the Son's faith in the Father to provide, protect, and fulfill His promise. The application is that we are tempted to doubt God in those three specific areas. By realizing this reality, we should be more prepared to withstand the tests that we encounter. God will surely provide. This a a display for the need of faith in God's ability to provide which is expressed in trust in God's order. Psalm 91 is written regarding God's protection for His people. The temptation is to become reckless without abandon in our conduct.

The passage says, "Because he has set His love upon me, I will deliver Him..." The nature of this verse shows that God's protection is most effective when we are operating from love for the Father. Any other motive proves us to be self-centered and puts us in danger. God has promised us an inheritance beyond anything that we could imagine. The world we live in attempts to discredit God's promise to His people by attacking our faith in His promise. It is important that we stay focused on God by staying connected in prayer and worship. False worship is placing anything in priority before God. This action shows doubt that God is who He says He is and can do what He says He can do.

 We must always be aware that Satan is constantly attacking our faith in God to provide, protect, and fulfill His promises. However, the trying of our faith makes is stronger and more capable. Let us continue to exercise our faith in God.

Dealing with Pain

It seems that no matter where God takes me struggles are inevitable. I encounter them in my own life and I certainly hear of them regularly from the lives that I am fortunate enough to minister to.  In many cases I am often asked “why pain exists” or “why God allows us to go through difficult times” and after a few recent encounters I decided to elaborate on a few life points. So here are FIVE FACTS OF LIFE.

1-   Life hurts:   

John 16:33 says it best  “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.” There is no value in denying it. Pain/trouble/hurt/difficulty is just a part of life.

2-   Unless we deal with pain properly it WILL accumulate in our heart:

There is an age-old statement out there that says “Time heals all wounds”…well I am here to tell you that statement is false! Time heals nothing. Over time, life experiences don’t erase from our history or really even leave our minds. Instead they often transform into subconscious addictions. For instance feeling rejection as a young child may lead to a subconscious need to “fit in” in later years of life. It also may develop into more severe issues like pornography addiction.

I have seen first hand that children growing up without one or both of their parents actively involved in their life can become poor parents themselves when they have children. This is because what is in our “heart” as we call it, is what makes us who we are! We must not allow pain to make a home in our hearts because the result can be a major flaw in our character and can prevent us from being great!

3-   Accumulated pain and unresolved problems compromise our emotional, mental, relational and spiritual health

Although many times we discount the value of pain and act as if it’s really no big deal, the truth is pain is just the beginning. It is unhealthy for us to “bottle up” pain, ignore it, or use it as an excuse to fail in key areas of life. The method of coping with pain that we choose effects our health in ways we could never imagine. There is no doubt that as our emotional, mental, spiritual and relational health is effected that we begin to transform and it is of the utmost importance that our life transformations be ones that make us better…not worse!

4-   We ALL deal with pain

We have to stop allowing ourselves  to believe that we have just “ignored” pain or found a way to live without it…EVERYBODY deals with pain, and the process of obtaining freedom may begin at recognizing what our method of “dealing” with pain is…

            I am a great example of this. In fact people have often told me that I seem to operate without emotions. I became a master at hiding my pain deep inside; to the point that I thought I was functioning without it. But the pain of my past made a home in my heart and operated in my self-conscious. The way I viewed people, the process by which I made decisions, the places I went were all byproducts of changes in my character brought on by pain.

            Little did I know that if I simply faced my pain and communicated with God about how I felt, that his spirit would bring me liberty! I realized that once I gave my pain to Christ it became my renewal. Once I turned it over, I was free from it. Once I stopped trying to prevent that pain from reoccurring, I had hope again. Hope in Jesus…and that hope meant that my dreams were reborn! In my newfound freedom I could achieve greatness because I was willing to take risks again! The broken heart that I once used as an excuse to hide became a badge of honor that symbolized my victory!

5-   The only way to stop pain and totally resolve it is to turn toward God!

Simply put, there is but one way to keep your dreams alive. One path to see yourself develop daily into a better version of you! The only way to live a life that is both satisfying and worth while is to embrace the pain that life brings and proclaim victory over it!

            Imagine a soldier that trains day in and day out preparing for battle only to get to the front lines of the war and break down at the first sign of trouble… it’s a bit silly huh?

This is what we must be careful to avoid because we are kingdom people who are fighting a daily battle with the enemy and if we do not embrace the ugliness of the fight then we will never really see how sweet the victory can be! Think of every trial in life as preparation for progress!

Romans 5 says it beautifully…“we glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

           

            It is time that we as believers declare our victory! Child of God, YOU are NO LONGER defeated by pain. It does not have a stronghold over you anymore. What the enemy intended for bad, God will use to your benefit. He said in his word that “all things work together for good for those that love him” well let me ask you, do you love Him? If so, then simply say “It is well.”

I consider this ... I've been nominated for 2 awards that I did not win. My latest album received 2.5 stars (out of 5) from DaSouth.com (and an even worse review from Holyculture.net). I have been called "too white", "a bad singer", "fake", "unoriginal". I've been in 2 battle of the bands that I’v lost. I've been turned down by major festivals, tours, and record labels. I am told regularly that my ministry is "too preachy", "too scriptural", "not commercial enough". The record label that I own/fund has seen many artists come and go. I have invested in many artists that simply got what they needed and left. I have lost friends, supporters, family members, and time with the people that mean the most. I have walked away from hundreds of thousands of dollars, dreams of old, and opportunities to achieve worldly success. Calling the business that God gave me "Pure" has set a standard for ministry and life that has forced me to walk many roads alone and without security. Everyday there is fear, rejection, judgment, and discouragement.
The very people that I claim (Believers) and give of myself to help are the first ones to turn their backs in my time of need!

HOWEVER, in this all, regardless of what I endure, what people say, and the rejection that this world brings, I am confident to say "It is well...it is well with my soul" because I have been called by the most high God. I have answered that call, and the very ministry that I am living out is changing lives for Jesus! I have not given up and I NEVER WILL! I am a Soul Winner, and the anointing of God has been placed upon my life, my music, and my label! When the cd's don't sell, the gospel does... when the radio stations don't play the song, a person in need does, when the artists walk away, a hurting child walk towards me...when many others are putting on concerts in front of crowds of other artists, I'm in the streets finding a way to change a life! I am more than a conquerer and no weapon formed against me, not even the ones formed by other believer's shall prosper! My dreams are HIS visions, and in this story, dreams come true!

Hold on to your dreams...

Point5

This is why we pray!

This is a much needed, yet commonly negated part of our walk in Christ! Remember that faith is for everything! And to activate your faith... you must pray. To see things happen...you must pray! To help others, change situations, overcome adversity....YOU MUST PRAY!

"Prayer is the foundation of ministry. God is revealing that when we dont speak to him, we experience anxiety...its our souls way of frantically seeking communion with God!" - Point5

and when it comes to applying faith...Like Creflo says, we need to say "I believe! Let's do it!"...don't over-think it...

Have faith...pray...activate your faith...act on your faith and you will see your dreams come true!

In a tough situation PRAY... keep on praying until peace comes over your heart!

Embrace the challenge! Walk in obedience!

Think about it...The holy Spirit is bold and radical! Are the words that we speak bold? Radical? Are they challenging? Or are we just seeking the approval of listeners????....Be More

-Point5

You were meant for more!

Wow...Is this really the way it is? Heck yes! THe unfortunate reality is that most of us have gotten comfortable....we live a routine and regular life!

Acts 10:15 says " for that which God has made clean, do not you make common" - all things of God are uncommon, set apart... WILD AND DIFFERENT...shouldn't your life be the same?

I challenge you to live a life full of purpose! Moses parted the red sea. Peter was crucified upside down, Paul was stoned and left for dead...these are not boring men and they certainly did not live boring lives. David defeated Goliath with a slingshot because he was uncommon. While the common folk were frightened and running for fear of their lives, little David stood up to the Giant and cast him down!

Think about it...even today most of the people you look up to in life are people that have done something beyond the norm.

So stop trying to skate by...realize that you were meant for more! Jesus wants more from you.

John 10:10 "The enemy came but to steal, kill and destroy. Yet I have come that you might have life and that more abundantly"

The abundant life awaits you! Are you willing to fight the good fight and live the good life?

Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us!"

There is that word "abundance" again. Are you willing to tap into that power that God has given you to be more? To be great?

I love you- Point5

Beauty for Ashes

Life in ministry is hard....
Sometimes I feel like I am called to be the person who always helps, always encourages, is always trying to change the lives of everyone around me for the better. The interesting thing about this is that I actually do it! I do it so much that I have difficulty recognizing the very real things in my life. I, like everyone else struggle...however, when I struggle, I feel like there is no time to address my issue because there is, yet again, someone else I need to minister to. yeah I am cut, and bleeding...but forget that because he/she is cut too and I have to help them!!!!
I wish I could say that I voluntarily trust God, but I think somewhere along the way I just got to the point where I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO trust God.This is a good thing though because I know that my mind likes to 'give up'...but my faith took that option away from me...

Much like that trust situation I just explained, many times we create situations where stuff is so far to the left or the right that it is just hard to go back to 'that place' that we miss so badly. That good place. And that, my friends, is where true pain sets in! I have done this so many times and honestly it sucks. This is why I stress the importance of handling the little things in life while they are still little because they will not always be little if you do not. Those little things will get you off course and make it seem impossible to get back on course.

Everyday I see something or someone that just breaks my heart...I wish I could do something to change it or them...in fact, I try to do whatever I can to fix the situation...But most people just don't have real faith anymore. They go to church and 'believe' but they have no clue that faith changes things! So they think that it is now impossible to go back to 'that place' that 'good place' and they are unwilling to try...well ladies and gentlemen I am here to tell you that the Devil is a LIAR! You can go back to that good place! It is never too late! and FAITH is the way to get there! God wants you in 'THAT PLACE"

"What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one ca shut. I know you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name..." Rev 3:8

God said He is aware that you have little strength...but yet and still He opens a door! Many times we are, as the word says "made stong in our weakness" and us being weak is only so people can see how mighty our God is when he performs a miraculous work in our life. So I ask you...IS YOUR LIFE A TESTIMANT OF FAITH OR OF COMFORTABILITY?

My dad once told me "Anyone who ever did anything great took a great risk!" and I would add to that with "if they didn't take a great risk, then what they accomplished was simply not GREAT"...

I desire that my life, my relationships, my family, and everything be one leap of faith after another! Who is with me? The time to do great things is now! The time to get out of that painful situation is now! Simply walk through that open door, as frightening as it may seem, Allow God to take your ashes, and exchange them for beauty!

What is impossible with God????

Pronunciation:

Function:
noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural faiths \ˈfāths, sometimes ˈfāthz\
Etymology:
Middle English feith, from Anglo-French feid, fei, from Latin fides; akin to Latin fidere to trust — more at bide
Date:
13th century
1 a: allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1): fidelity to one's promises (2): sincerity of intentions2 a (1): belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2): complete trust

Now that I have properly defined faith... I would like to share scripture from the book of Matthew chapter six starting at verse 25:
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

This is especially important for us to know...that Jehovah Jirah is our provider! Living by faith leads us into a lifestyle of trust and commitment to a God that has promised us many things. We are told in his word that we reap what we sow...we are told in his word that by his stripes we were healed... We must however learn to trust our God and know that his word is absolute truth.
It is time to stop the hurting...we are healed! It is time for us to be obediant to the things we have been instructed. We know that God said if we just seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; ALL things will be added unto us...

All things means those bills you have, that shelter you need, etc. it is all provided. Our God has so much and loves us enough that if we would just dedicate our lives to serving him and live by faith...All things will be added unto us as well.

It is so important that we dont put restrictions on a limitless God. Look at Peter. The man walked on water!!! Jesus didn't do it alone. Peter stepped out on that water too. and when he looked back what did he see? A boat full of faithless believers. So many times Jesus said these words, "Oh ye of little faith"...

I don't know about you but I never want to hear those words. So what's it gonna be are you going to be a water walker? or a faithless boat sitter?

And yes many of you will say that Peter fell into the water, and your right! He did eventually fall in........ BUT FIRST HE WALKED! thats amazing...He was a faith filled wet water walking man of God! Not a dry, unbelieving, boat sitter. That is faith! So whatever boat your sitting in, get out of it! take a step out into the waters of everyday life. you might get a little wet but you will have the favor of the Lord! .5
