Faith is intended to give us the wisdom and power to walk through life's hardest times, not just to get rid of those times. Hard times are the canvas upon which God paints a life purpose of victory.God's purpose for life's trials can bring us into our finest hour. But we need to learn to let Him make us before He will send us. The trial is never about the trial. By faith we learn to find something worth dying for, and then we will have found something worth living for.

When God seems silent, sometimes it's because He has already prepared us and He's standing by as we take our first 'solo flight' through a storm. It's not really a solo though, because like Peter walking on the water, Jesus is right there to extend a needed hand. That's what it felt like for this young family when their mother left too soon.

We've often felt unloved, and have often blamed others for it. I once told my dad that he never loved me, and it opened up my heart to my own real need to accept love. People can spend an entire life blaming others, performing to try to prove their value to themselves and the world, when all along the issue is not how bad we've been treated at all. Learn on this episode how that can change.

We've all gotten sick of the politics, riots, threats of sickness and much more. Many are feeling worn down. It's time we got started down the road that God has got mapped out for us, not the political roads of contention. The media has gotten people all stirred up, angry, and frustrated. Let's hear from heaven that God is working on our hearts more than He's calling us to wage war against others. Here's His way to peace IN the storm. Once there, we'll be ready to face the external battle and WIN!

"The end of all things is near." My friend didn't realize it when he read those words in the Bible that morning that God was talking about him! After recovering from a heart attack, he went to preach on this Easter Sunday morning. By evening, he was in heaven. Sometimes, in our moments of greatest sorrow, we slip badly in our faith. But instead of leaving us to ourselves, God comes and shows us His greatness.

Streets leading to Moscow's Red Square are frequented by many desperate people. Poverty, government corruption, and criminals make life difficult for people the world over. Yet, those who have learned the secret of who God really is are those who have found the greatest peace and joy. Jesus is the first and the last. He alone defines what the end is, and it's not related to time. He is the end of fear, manipulation, despair, and hurt for the nation.

In the emergency room 3 weeks ago I wrote this message. It is a living parable of what both my own life and this country is going through. I have learned over the last year how to see what is happening in America from heaven's point of view, and it looks a lot like the opening chapter of the book of Revelation. We're fighting the wrong battle and the wrong enemy if we're trying to stop a political party, a conspiracy theory, or our own fears. God is up to something much greater!

Our liberty requires the responsibility to have faith in God, not men. We’re living in a day where our constitutional right to due process is thrown to the wind. People make accusations and spread false information on social media constantly, and it destroys the credibility of anyone trying to post the truth. If we declare our truth with indignation between the lines, then our message will be buried by our attitude.

One reason for suicide is that people don’t get up in the morning with a sense of personal purpose. Discovery of our identity in Christ can cause us to be led by purpose and joy from deep within. That's a big part of being led by the Spirit, and it gives us power over sin and the struggle with despair.

With only a box to live in, there are people who have more joy and purpose than most Americans! How do they do it, and what can we learn? There is a place of purpose in those 'cardboard box' seasons of our lives where God can use us to encourage others in a way that makes an eternal difference.

He would see the KGB parked in front of his building. One time, Anatoli walked down to them and told them, “If you harm my daughter, or wife, or something happens to me, I have written my friends in the west what has happened, and they will release it to the American government.” He actually intimidated the KGB, and they backed off, and he lived. Faith that has no fear is a great and necessary privilege for the days ahead.
