First Post!

Hey guys so I created this blog for those who want to know Christ more intimately. Maybe you are just seeking answers to certain questions or maybe you just want some kind of a start to help you grow in your quiet time. You do not know where to open your bible or you just want somewhere to talk about what you just read.

I am going to post questions on here to start discussions and most entries I will post a devotion with to get you thinking about things or maybe even teach or confirm something. I want this to be a place where you can grow in your relationship with Christ. My prayer is that you will learn something from these devotions and God will speak something to you through them.

ANYONE CAN COMMENT! You do not have to be a member to leave a comment so please leave your thoughts.

To start off this first one I will talk about the title of the blog and why I chose this title.

The title of this blog is James 5:17. A passage that we must constantly remind ourselves is true, because all of the great Godly people in history like Elijah and Moses and David and Paul were all simply human beings filled with the Holy Spirit. We must remember the words Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 14:2 "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these."

This means that we have so much potential. So many times we will doubt what God can really do through us. The God we serve today is the same God that worked through the lives of these men thousands of years ago. "Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). We can be as influential as these men of the bible and have just as much passion for Christ as they did.

Jesus said, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you" (Acts 1:8). We have power from the Holy Spirit, power that Jesus said can do greater things than those that He did while He was here on earth.

We need to trust these words that God gives us and not to "let anyone look down on you because you are young" (1 Timothy 4:1). He tells us that "it is good for a man that he bear yoke in his youth"(Lamentations 3:27). Meaning we have so much potential.

Right here. Right now.

God wants to use us to "go and make disciples of all nations" for His glory (Matthew 28:19). And we are more than capable of doing so by God's power and allowing Him to work through our lives.


I hope this either wakes you up or reaffirms the path that you are on right now. Do you realize that right now in your life you can make a huge difference? We don't have to wait until we're older. Do you believe that Elijah was a man just like us?
