More Than You Can Handle!

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , ,

I see so many times people making the statement, “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.”  Actually this is NOT a true statement!  I understand why people say it. They are trying to make someone who is going through a hard time feel better. So they will be encouraged that God knows they can “handle it.”

But, God DOES give us (or allows) us to have more than we can handle on our own so we will realize we need Him to do it!

If we can handle everything on our own – we don’t need Him.  If you look at the Scriptures, you will see many, many examples of people doing amazing feats that they would be incapable of handling “on their own.”

Whatever you are going through…God is MORE THAN ABLE to see you through it! He is with you every step of the way!

PENTECOST SUNDAY

PENTECOST SUNDAY
Acts 2:1-21

Come Holy Wind…Come Holy Fire…may we declare the wonders of God in boldness and power! May our sons and daughters prophesy! May our young men see visions and our old men dream dreams! May ALL your people prophesy and may ALL who call on the name of the Lord be saved!

Pour out Your Spirit upon us, O God! May we radiate with the power of the Holy Spirit within us and around us! Set Your Church on fire, O God, so our hearts will burn with love for those that do not know you!

Blow on the smoldering embers of our hearts and bring us to a roaring blaze of Your power and love! We wait with open hearts, open spirits, and open arms!

Come Holy Spirit!!

HE LOVES YOU!

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , , , , , ,

As I was walking into Walmart after church one day, I found myself entering on the heels of four teenage boys – laughing and decked out in low-riding jeans and tattoos.

I found myself overwhelmed with the Love of God for them.  So much so, that I felt that I should tell them how much He loved them.

But, as we walked into the main entrance and began to separate, I kept silent.  They went to the left and I went to the right.

Feeling a little guilty, I said to the Lord, “Okay, if You want me to tell them You love them…bring them across my path again, Lord!”

Well, within 10 minutes, there they were walking almost beside me as I was going down an aisle!

I walked into the middle of them, smiled, and said, “As I was walking behind you as we were coming into the store, I was overwhelmed with the Love that God has for you!  He wants you to know that He loves you very much!  Have a great day!”

As I was walking away, I heard one of them yell after me, “Thank you!”

Later, as I was in the car, I began thinking that I should have talked to them longer.  I should have found out if they knew Jesus.  I should have…

But, then the Lord interrupted my thoughts. I heard Him say in His quiet, loving voice, “No, I just wanted them to know I loved them.“

Sometimes we try and complicate and over-think things.  Sometimes He just wants us to let people know that He loves them…

I’M READY! ARE YOU?

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD!  I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE. DO YOU THINK IT COMES AS A SURPRISE TO ME?  I KNOW ALL!  I AM HERE READY TO MOVE ON YOUR BEHALF. HAVE YOU COME TO ME AND ASKED ME TO JOIN YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY… OR ARE YOU TRYING TO HANDLE IT YOURSELF?

IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHOICE!  CONTINUE TO TRUST IN YOUR OWN ABILITY…OR TURN TO ME…TRUST IN ME…AND ALLOW ME TO RELEASE MY WILL IN YOUR LIFE.

ARE YOU READY TO LET GO?  ARE YOU READY TO LET ME?  I’M READY!  ARE YOU?
