As we begin this New Year, I believe that God has Amazing things in store for us. “You always say that, Pastor... so what’s different about this year?” Well, nothing and Everything... here’s what I mean: How often are we self-fulfilling prophets? We speak gloom and despair and sure enough, it happens?

    What if, just for arguments sake, we decided, on purpose to speak, “Amazing”? It’s like the old proverb which says, “The one who shoots for the moon certainly hits higher than the one who shoots for the side of the barn”. If we never shoot for the moon... then we have absolutely no chance of ever hitting the moon.

    So, as I challenged you in November to take your Thanksgiving with you to Christmas, I challenge you to start aiming higher! (And yes, take your Thanksgiving with you as well!). Can you imagine what will happen when we ALL... ALL OF US TOGETHER... start aiming higher? That’s where we get into the “immeasurably more that all we ask or imagine” becomes possible. Right?

     This is our theme as we begin 2024 together, “I Can Only Imagine”. This will be our emphasis during our 7 Days of Prayer. He promises that “Immeasurably more” is available. Not just a “little” more or “more than enough” more... but “more than we can measure” more!

     I hear the “yeah but”... stay with me for a minute... what if, God REALLY means it? Immeasurably More. What can that, what will that look like? AND if that is truly possible, how will it change your life?

     Here’s the conclusion of what Paul prayed, “20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”  Eph. 3.20-21

     How much can You imagine? How big do you dare to ask? According to Paul, , no matter how big or how ambitious it might be... God CAN do More!
