So often we feel like everything is falling apart, and people wound.   But faith is believing that your purpose is in God and that you can live in God’s victory, regardless.  We have to choose to love people in spite of the fact that we have been hurt, disillusioned and let down.  Faith demands that we “overcome evil with good,” and know that whatever we go through, the Lord is in it with us.

Statistics show that guilt, shame and an inability to accept the forgiveness of God is one of the greatest sources of depression and mental illness.

So often we stay in our comfort zone when it comes to trusting God, experiencing a dynamic move of the Spirit, and seeing some of the gifts of the Spirit in operation.  Often, our faith in God is strong, but we don’t think we are able to enter into new realms of worship, operating in the gifts or in our service.
