As I continue on from SURVIVAL to REVIVAL, God continues to resuscitate my excitement & zeal for life as He revives my soul. As I was praying & praising God a few days ago He reminded me of a God-awesome verse that deeply encourages me. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, "no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him" Wowwww!!! I have a vivid imagination and God is saying that even in my greatest thoughts & dreams I don't even get close to conceiving the amazing things God has prepared for me (us)!! One year ago the devil rolled a stone up to the edge to ambush me & this ministry... and it almost worked >>> ALMOST!! Now the stone is rolling back overtop of him as God revives me & relaunches this ministry (Proverbs 26:27). Every plan of the enemy to kill, steal, & destroy is being swallowed up by the abundant life of Jesus (John 10:10). My favorite author, Tim Hansel, once said to, "Turn your theology into your biography!" In other words, "integrate God's word & promises into every part of your life". As someone once said, "The best version of the Bible isn't the KJV (King James Version) or the NIV (New International Version); it's the 'RLV' ('Real Life Version'). That's the "version" when you apply the word of God into your real day-to-day life." So today I dance on the grave I once lived in and I celebrate a God who never stops rescuing his sheep... never stops counting the very few hairs on my head... that never gives up even when I/we do. Aaaaaaaaand as He revives me He reminds me that I can't even begin to imagine the plans He still has for me!! Thank You Jesus!!!!! 30 years ago I wrote the Vision Statement for Going The Distance Adventure Ministry. When you have an almighty & unpredictable God it's nearly impossible to reduce endless potential down to a "vision statement". So with endless possibilities of where God may take this ministry I entered the most honest vision statement I could. Our official ministry Vision Statement is: NO LIMITS! Now 30 years later we stand on the edge of some pretty cool God-sized "NO LIMITS" developments. My request is that you pray for this ministry and everyone involved that we abide in Christ, work in the power of the Holy Spirit, walk in an uncommon unity, resist the enemy, flee temptation, administer grace & love when we fail, and do everything for God's glory.... and have a whole lot of fun along the way!! God is up to something very special... even beyond our imaginations!! Thank you for your prayers and encouragement! NO LIMITS!!
