God’s love is great for us. Whenever we want to boast we need to talk loudly about God’s goodness! He promises that he delights in giving unfailing love and justice!

Jeremiah 9:

23 This is what the Lord says:
“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom,
    or the powerful boast in their power,
    or the rich boast in their riches.
²⁴ But those who wish to boast
    should boast in this alone:
that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord
    who demonstrates unfailing love
    and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,
and that I delight in these things.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

If you ever have introvert tendencies and are a Christian, I know a sure cure.

Jesus said,

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. ~ Mark 16:15-16

If you’re a Christian it’s important to fight against your introvertedness. We’ve got to get the truth out that Jesus is how to get access to God.

My church, every  Halloween has spook house called the Nightmare. We focus on the major struggles teenagers deal with and that there is great hope in Jesus.

After going through the Nightmare there is a room where Christian volunteers pray the bold prayer that helps others make Jesus Lord of their life.

If you have introvert tendencies, this is how you are cured in a month!!!!!!! First of all, you have to be a true Christian. Then you are trained in helping people pray a Bible based prayer that helps others become Christians.

When the Nightmare goers enter the ministry room they have just been confronted with the image of a bloody Jesus dying on the cross for the wrongs that all humanity has ever committed. Then the volunteers pray with them.

As a volunteer, you must go up to a person entering the room, kindly meet them and then ask them if they would repeat a prayer with you.

Every few minutes a new group will come in.  As an introvert you must overcome the anxiety of talking face to face with another person and then talk with them about the greatest and most healing words ever spoken on the planet. And that is the Gospel! Oh, and an important by the way…before you even begin your overcomer adventure, you are backed by the prayers of hundreds of people who have been praying for the Nightmare for a few months. You have to use your God-given faith and trust that there is power from all those prayers! Besides you can also pray before every new person you meet (Usually a teenager)

So there it is. I truly believe there is no drug, therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist you could ever go to that could help you overcome being introvert like this opportunity! Because you are working to help God get souls to Heaven! Your heart is with the heart of God so He will help you overcome and then bless you in other ways too!

Halloween belongs to Jesus.

I am  about to embark on the best time of the year! As a Christian and a member of Guts Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we are beginning the holiday season a month early! And it’s ALL to bring honor to God. We’re putting our trust in God to help us through a Nightmare house for Halloween. It requires a ton of effort. We’re overextending ourselves for God and for non-Christians to have opportunity to choose eternal life. God has our back. We look to Him and He promises to supply what we need because we’re working to fulfil the greatest desire of His heart and that is to help people get to Jesus! We pray beforehand, every person that goes through the house would be transformed and after that they would live daily for God. I’m praying Colossians 2:6-7 over every soul.

Colossians 2:

And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. ⁷ Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

Jesus holds the world together.

Colossians 1:

1 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
    He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,^[a]
16 for through him God created everything
    in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
    and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
    Everything was created through him and for him.
¹⁷ He existed before anything else,
    and he holds all creation together.

God is a mighty God of extremes. He will be greatly honored by all humanity one day. We will all bow the knee, willingly or not. But God sees and is near to each and every forgotten and downtrodden individual.

Psalm 46:10

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

I had the sweet privilege of fulfilling a dream last summer. I traveled to the Grand Canyon, looked over its amazing vastness and with my mom nearby I sang How Great Thou Art! Yes! God is by far greater and much more amazing than the Grand Canyon that He spoke into existence!

Someday I want to go Israel. I know, because I devour God’s Word every morning and any other time possible, that He has blessed Israel far above any other nation.

I’m with Israel! I would love to go there and boldly proclaim this promise and blessing that is on Israel and my life, also, as a Christian!

But for today, I remind God and myself of His promise over Israel. I ask Him to show me how to invest in Israel…through prayer for protection and peace and then through  financial investment. Israel wins and I’m with them, so I win too!

These coming verses are powerful, powerful, powerful! In this moment!…I boldly proclaim God’s powerful promises from this passage over my family for this day and then forever! Wow! Thank you God!

Isaiah 66:

10 Rejoice with Jerusalem! Be glad with her, all you who love her and all you who mourn for her.

11 Drink deeply of her glory even as an infant drinks at its mother’s comforting breasts.

12 This is what the Lord says: “I will give Jerusalem a river of peace and prosperity. The wealth of the nations will flow to her. Her children will be nursed at her breasts, carried in her arms, and held on her lap.

13 I will comfort you there in Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child.”

14 When you see these things, your heart will rejoice. You will flourish like the grass! Everyone will see the Lord’s hand of blessing in his servants— and his anger against his enemies.

I pray these words of God’s promise aloud for my kids today.

Isaiah 65:

23 They will not work in vain,
    and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.
For they are people blessed by the Lord,
    and their children, too, will be blessed.
²⁴ I will answer them before they even call to me.
    While they are still talking about their needs,
    I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
