Focusing on God’s Power, Not Your Problems

Focus on God’s power and provision.

We have to learn to intentionally focus on God’s power and provisions, not on our problems.(Exodus 14:21-22,NKJV) God will use what you already have, not what you don’t have.

God’s ability to bless us is not limited by our situations and circumstances.(Philippians 4:19,NKJV; 2 Corinthians 9:8,NIV) The devil wants us to look at all the reasons we can’t have victory and go forward, God wants us to look at all the reasons we can.(Psalm 34:10,NIV)

Opposition is unavoidable, but God is greater.(Exodus 14:23-25,NLT2)

When God begins to move in your life, Satan also begins to move. Barriers that lead to fight or flight are won through faith instead of fear.(Haggai1:6, 7,NKJV; Proverbs 23:4-5,NIV; Luke 12:34,NIV)

Trust God’s plan in the middle of the mess.(Exodus 14:23-25,NLT2)

What may look like a mess up is really a set up for God. If God be for us, who can be against us?(Romans 8:31) God has a plan for you and that plan includes His power, purpose, and peace.

Freedom Tools: For Overcoming Life's Tough Problems


How many times in everyday conversation do we struggle to comfort others in a troubled world? Christians should be "first responders," say Andy Reese and Jennifer Barnett, yet we lack the tools and confidence to reach out. We end up frustrated by our own inability to connect meaningfully and make a difference.

But what would happen if we had the ability and courage to speak out in love?

In these pages Andy and Jennifer give you the practical understanding and simple tools to do just that. You can fill even your casual conversations with the gentle yet transforming power of Jesus Christ. Here is what you need to confidently step out to bring peace, give grace and help others experience renewal.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
