God Is With You Wherever You Go by Alan Smith

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 10:55 am By editorconvergingzone

Josh 1:9: Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (TLB) What an incredible statement this is! Be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt. This is the statement God spoke to Joshua after the death of Moses. God was calling Joshua to be bold and strong and to enter the promises of God. Evidently, Joshua was walking in fear and doubt: fear of all the problems... Read more

The God Who Listens by James Ryle

Last updated on: February 6, 2012 at 4:42 pm By editorconvergingzone

“I love God because He listened to me.” (Psalm 116:1) God knows everything and everybody; and everything about everybody. He knows even that which is yet unknown to anybody. There is no thought, idea, invention, place, person, plan, or purpose which He does not know all there is to know about. Imagine, then, the wonder of His genuine attentiveness — “He listened to me.” Have you ever tried to say something important or personal to someone who wasn’t listening? Oh, sure,... Read more

Participating in Something Larger than Yourself by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 6, 2012 at 11:03 am By editorconvergingzone

An authentic God experience brings freedom and a larger capacity for life. Experiencing God brings enlargement, connectivity, freedom, and peace. There is a dimension of love through God that enables us to love our family, friends, and the world around us in ways far beyond what we could ever do apart from Him. You find your thoughts renewed and His love, mercy and grace pouring out from your life. You are participating in something larger than yourself, and you find... Read more

Your Breakdowns Can Precede Your Breakthroughs by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 5, 2012 at 11:45 am By editorconvergingzone

Sometimes your breakdowns become the seed for the beginning of your breakthroughs. The adversity becomes the advancement and preparation needed for your transformation. Without breakthroughs in revelation and passion for what you are about to do, anything can hinder you. All breakthroughs begin to shift your belief systems and perceptions, and they fuel your passionate resolve. You are now passionately empowered to take risks, jump over hurdles, and break through the walls that would otherwise stop you or slow you... Read more

A Sword Will Pierce Your Heart by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: February 4, 2012 at 3:24 pm By editorconvergingzone

Surrender of the Vision Keeper, Part Two The plans of God are full of surprises. No matter how true a vision from God may be, it will never be fulfilled in the manner in which we have imagined. All our expectations are incomplete. In fact, our very ideas often become the most subtle obstacles standing between us and our appointed future in God. Thus, we must keep our minds open and submitted to God, for when God fulfills His Word,... Read more

Slay Your Dragons Before Breakfast by Michael Hyatt

Last updated on: February 4, 2012 at 12:20 pm By editorconvergingzone

I wrote this post exactly five years ago. However, there is rarely a week that goes by that I don’t provide the link to someone. It seems that I am not the only who struggles with this. I awoke this morning to the dragon’s hot breath on my face. I was disoriented, not quite knowing where I was. I struggled to open one eye. Then another. And there he was. A dragon. A very big dragon. With three heads. Sitting in my... Read more

An Intentional Life With No Regrets by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 4, 2012 at 11:27 am By editorconvergingzone

The top regrets of those who are on their deathbed; “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me; I wish I hadn’t worked so hard; I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings; I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends; I wish that I had let myself be happier.” While we remain in the land of the living, let’s live an extraordinary life...

“Hearers” Can Change the World! by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 4, 2012 at 1:45 am By Robert Ricciardelli

“The world is dying for want, not of good preaching, but of good hearing.” (George Dana Boardman) It is time that Gods people begin to take the initiative in seeking the Lord like never before. Going to church on Sunday and yet not living as the church on Monday has given us a powerless message to society. We have an identity crisis in the fact that we have created a place for ministry instead of a people mobilized for the... Read more

God’s Love Leads to Safety by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 12:01 pm By editorconvergingzone

Hope in a turbulent world is not logical, but participation in the very life of God leads to hope and a sense of safety. When we give God’s love or are a recipient of His unconditional love from others, it becomes a safe place to be. If you can’t feel safe with a person, you cannot feel loved by them or trust in their love. The presence of God is safe and if you do not feel safe, it cannot... Read more

Why Many Mid-Life Marriages End in Divorce by Joseph Mattera

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 12:45 am By editorconvergingzone

As we approach Valentine’s Day many are thinking about relationships, marriage and romance. Although we all know the divorce rate is over 50% in the USA, I have observed that many divorces occur with couples who have been married well over 20 years and are each over 45 years of age. This has astonished me. I used to think that if a couple got through the first few years of marriage (when they are young and restless) that they had... Read more
