The Battle in the Garden - Dan Roye  

Matthew 26:31-46

Jesus experience in the garden was a time of painful victory, but for His followers, it was a time of utter failure. 

None of the disciples guessed that the real test of their souls would not come when the soldiers came for Jesus, but when Jesus drew them away to a quiet place to watch and pray. It was there in the garden of prayer where victory was won … and lost. And it is in this passage where Jesus gives us insight in how to pray through life's battles.

God's Purpose In Our Shattered Dreams - March 15, 2009

Ruth is a great book in the Old Testament that contains an incredible story of God's faithfulness as well as a woman's faithfulness. One of the themes found in the book of Ruth is the one that says - Behind Every Shattered Dream God Has a Better One.
It's good for all of us to be reminded of that fact.
Ezekiel 36 says that when when come to Christ at salvation that God takes our hearts of stone and replaces it with one that sensitive and responsive to Him.
Romans 8:28 says that He causes all things to work together for the good for those who love Him and want to serve His purposes in their lives.
And the bottom line is...sometimes He uses our disappointment and shattered dreams to give Him a greater platform to work from.

What If It Means the Furnace? March 8, 2009

Daniel 3:8-30 We say that we want to be full devoted followers of Jesus Christ, that we want to be used mightily by Him to fulfill His purposes in this world...But what if it means, like countless others throughout history, that we have to go through the furnace. Some times God delivers us from the furnace, but other times He delivers us in the furnace. To experience the "God who is Able" like Daniel and the Hebrew boys did...we may have to endure hardship at times. Our prayers need to change from - "God deliver me from the difficult times" to "God give me the opportunity to display my devotion to You, so that You can display Your glory & power to the world around me. Spend some time meditating on Isaiah 43:1-3

What Are You Standing For? March 1, 2009

Daniel 1:1-8

We live in a day where people live more by their preferences than by their convictions. If we are going to be usable by God to further His kingdom then like Daniel we must have convictions and be willing to take a stand.
