His Arrival Is Just The Beginning

I was reading John chapter 11 and something really spoke to me and hope it blesses you...

As soon as Martha heard Jesus arrived in town, she didn't wait for Him to get to their house, but she went out to meet Him where He was.  This lady was bold.  She basically blamed His late arrival for her brother's death.  Not only that but she also turned this "problem" into His problem by stating that God the Father could do whatever He the Son asked for.  Her declaration of faith is the turning point in this miracle.

LIFE APPS

1. Don't settle for the small wins. 
If you see God starting to move onto the scene of your life, He's just arrived on the scene.  As in this story, the miracle didn't take place when He arrived.  Don't be satisfied with His arrival at the outskirts of town OR life but dare to get out of the comforts of your "home" and meet Him where He's at so that our entire life is transformed.  If we see Him answering one prayer request, don't rest on the laurels of that victory, and relax thinking He'll just take care of everything else in one shot.  Continue to seek Him out thru prayer, worship, and fellowship.

2. Be bold to tell Jesus what's in your heart. 
The hurts, pains, desires, crazy dreams, etc... He wants to hear it from you even though He knows everything already.  Dare to dream big dreams.  Dare to be different in living a godly life in obedience to Him so that He can answer us! 

3. The full miracle awaits your commitment to Him.
If you boldly go after Him consistently and continuously, the complete miracle will be seen in your life.  Your soul, health, mindset, relationships, finances, career, education, family, and all that makes up you will be a new creation of Jesus.  He will totally transform your life From The Inside Out: http://youtu.be/DP_Ry7yrYxY.  As it says, "My heart and my soul, I give You control.  Consume me from the inside out Lord."

Have a blessed week! 

Enjoy the Ride,
