“Great God, Mighty and Awesome” 3-22-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. My life is in Your hands. My day belongs to You. … “For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome…. He is your praise; He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things that your own eyes have seen” (Deuteronomy 10:17-21). With hearts full of praise and a room full of joy, we celebrated the greatness of our God this weekend. With pictures and testimonies of Your miracles from my ministry trip to Pakistan, we worshipped You in wonder and awe for the “great and awesome things that (our) own eyes have seen.” It stirred my faith again to see the pictures and remember the faces of so many who were touched and healed, freed and saved, by the hand of God: The throngs of people of a village instantly set free of tormenting pain in various areas of their bodies; the baby girl whose fever instantly vanished; the little boy who suddenly began to move his broken arm; the woman paralyzed on one side of her body from a stroke who was beginning to walk; the man who couldn’t speak shouting “Hallelujah!”; the woman who had been shivering for years now steady and calm in a moment; the man born blind in one eye who could now see; the young woman who praised God that Jesus was now in her heart, and so many more stories of Your glory and expressions of the power of Your love. Praise the mighty name of Jesus! Thank You for the chance to share my encounters with You in Israel and the Philippines, as I was blessed to begin this new year literally going around the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to the nations. You are a great and awesome God, moving in power, preparing Your Bride, awakening Your people to arise and shine in newness of life to display the glory of Your name throughout the earth. Thank You for letting our ministry be a part of this move of God in the earth. And thank You for confirming Your heart of mercy and love with the moments of deep inner healing, breakthrough, and freedom You brought in the lives of some who lingered in the afterglow of our celebration and the manifest glory of Your Presence among us. What You are doing in these places of desperation and faith in pockets of the earth, You’re beginning to do right here at home as well. O Lord, increase our faith. Let us see more and more with our own eyes Your mighty power and Your great glory. This is a new day. This is a new season. Give us grace to persevere in faith, pressing through our disappointments of unanswered prayers, but holding fast to the truth that heaven is breaking into earth, Your Kingdom is coming, and the fame of Your great and awesome name is being made known here in our hearts at home and to the nations of the earth in these exciting days. “And this good news of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
