Proof Of His Strength
In the church I attend, the pastor always stops at one point in the service to ask the congregation if we have praises or requests to share. It seems that every Sunday, there are people who ask us to join them in praying for a friend or family member struggling with some sort of physical ailment.
“Please pray for my Aunt Jenny who was in a car accident last week. Pray that she won’t have to have her leg amputated.”
“My friend at work, his son has cancer. Please pray for healing and courage.”
“My wife has macular degeneration. Her eyesight is slowing fading. Pray that the doctors can stop the spread of the disease.”
We all want these physical calamities to be healed so that our loved ones do not have to suffer the pain, the discomfort, and the long-term, day-to-day indignities of life with a disability. No one would wish a physical disability on anyone else. We pray that God could give our loved one an easier life.
My mother must have felt this way when the doctor told her, shortly after I was born, that my right leg would not grow normally.
“I recommend that you amputate the leg as soon as possible,” he told her.
My mother prayed that there would be another solution besides disfiguring her baby—a baby who looked so fragile and so perfect. She actively searched for any alternatives. She fitted me with orthopedic braces and shoes. She consulted doctor after doctor. But most of all, she continued praying.
When I reached age five, she finally capitulated to the inevitable and agreed to let go of my emaciated limb.
Should she conclude that her prayers were not answered? Should all of us who pray every Sunday for healing, remission, and miracle cures be disappointed with God when things don’t go the way we think they should?
If only my mother could have known how things would turn out! How could she have any idea that her one-legged daughter from San Diego would become the first African-American to win Olympic or Paralympic medals in ski racing, of all sports!?!
Yes, you heard that right: a black, one-legged girl who grew up in San Diego with no snow turned into a world class ski racer winning two bronze medals and the silver for overall performance in the 1984 Paralympics in Innsbruck, Austria – and made African-American history in the process. My “disability” has opened so many doors and created so many opportunities for me that I couldn’t possibly describe them all here. As just one example, I have been invited to be a part of the official Presidential delegation to Vancouver for the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Paralympics! I will once again have the honor of representing my country at the Olympics, 26 years after my performance as an athlete.
So many of us enjoyed watching the perfection of human physical performance in Winter Olympic competition in Canada, but fewer people are aware that the Paralympics are beginning, in the same Vancouver ice rinks, ski slopes and bobsled runs, on March 12th. While the athletes are far less perfect—missing arms and legs, paralyzed and blind—their performances are perhaps more astoundingly poignant and beautiful for that very reason.
At disabled sports competitions, I have always felt as though I have stumbled upon a place where Jesus has recently passed through. Looking around you, it seems that miraculous healing has occurred. Blind racers ski at 50 miles per hour around the red and blue gates, paralyzed men in low-profile sleds aggressively play hockey, and women with no arms speed by on Nordic skis. These extraordinary people have not just escaped their fate of disability, but stand as incredible examples of our ability, with faith, to transcend disability itself.
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
If you want to see the hand of God at work, go online and watch the Paralympic events if you can’t get them through your local TV provider. You will be amazed. And, you will be reminded of what God can do in your life, if you will give up your “brokenness” to Him.
Now, I work as a full time inspirational writer, speaker, and trainer…boasting of my disabilities and how God has shown his strength in my weakness. Indeed, “I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Every day, know that your prayers will be answered – even if that answer is sometimes not the answer you would have preferred. Perhaps you or a loved one may have to endure more than you think you can. But if you will put your suffering on the altar and let Him take control, conquering your challenges can be not only proof of His strength, but a shining light to others who stand in need.
Scripture of the Day: "And he said unto me, ‘My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
Nevertheless Moments
This one word serves as a major turning point throughout the Word of God. This one word has stood center stage throughout the course of human history. Allow me to explain.
Recently I had the honor of hearing my pastor deliver a eulogy for a person who exhibited tremendous courage in the face of cancer. As we learned more about her, it became very evident that she used her illness as an opportunity to minister to others. When others called or visited her to share words of encouragement and prayer, she in turn, took that same moment to encourage them.
It was clear that she faced and conquered what I call a nevertheless moment.
In Mark 14:36, we find Jesus at one of the most crushing moments in His life. Temptation was pulling on Him, causing His flesh to war against His spirit. The agony that Jesus went through at that moment in the Garden of Gethsemane caused Him to cry out to His Father for help.
"And He said, 'Abba Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me..." - Mark 14:36v.
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if God (the Father) would have answered that prayer? What if Jesus yielded to His own desire that night? Satan would have certainly won. The virgin birth, the baptism, the miracles, the teachings, everything would have been for nothing!
But praise be unto God for this one small word: nevertheless.
"...Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will." - Mark 14:36v.
Precisely at this moment in time, Jesus stood at the crossroads of eternity and held humanity in His hands. Jesus through prayer completely yielded His will, His desires, His flesh, and His plans to the Will of His Father.
If Jesus turned His back at that moment, we would not be reading this devotional. We would not have a moral compass to guide our thoughts, nor an ethical path to lead us to correct decisions.
Today we all face at times nevertheless moments. The decisions we make and the prayers we pray can change the very trajectory of our lives or that of another person.
Let's be sure that our prayers do not enable us to take the easy way out. Let's look and take the example of our Savior. Today, let us walk in His footsteps.
Scripture of the Day: "...Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will." - Mark 14:36v.

A Life of Power Comes, From a Life of Prayer
While watching the Presidential Primary, the candidates had many solutions for the issues and problems that our country is facing. During a quiet time in prayer, word, and waiting, my spirit was drawn to this particular politician. This one I'm talking about is in the word of God. He was the governor of Judah and his name was Nehemiah! Leadership to him was about motivating the people to be faithful to God, and then helping them to become organized, so they could accomplish the task of rebuilding the city wall of Jerusalem.
During this rebuilding he was faced with strong opposition, but they succeeded and it was finished in 52 days! How was Nehemiah able to get this extraordinary job done? Well, if you read his entire book you might say it was because he had great leadership and organizational skills, and could impel people real well, but the real deal is . . . he was a man of prayer, which resulted in God's power in his life.
Prayer was a part of his daily life, no matter what, Hallelujah. He prayed, when he was down and dismayed. In fact, for days I mourned, fasted, and prayed to the God of heaven. (1:4). In conversation with the king, this man was praying! The king asked, "Well, how can I help you?" With a prayer to the God of heaven, I replied, "If it please Your Majesty and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried." (2:4-5). Under attack and opposition, he prayed too. But we prayed to our God and guarded the city day and night to protect ourselves. (4:9). He prayed when weak, Hallelujah. So I prayed for strength to continue the work. (6:9). When dedicating Jerusalem's Wall, you could find him giving praise and thanks to God for blessing them, Yes! I led the leaders of Judah to the top of the wall and organized two large choirs to give thanks. Many sacrifices were offered on that joyous day, for God had given the people cause for great joy. (12:31, 43). Nehemiah could not have accomplished the assignment or completed the plan for Jerusalem that God had put in his heart, or experienced the worship being restored in Judah, if he wasn't in continual intimate communication with God.
How can we accomplish the tasks and plans that the Lord put in our hearts? How can we experience a life of power? Through prayer! Prayer has to be a regular part of our daily lives, and we have to depend and rely on the Lord during the hard and the easy times as well. We have to also regularly and continually, praise and thank Him for the blessings! Let this example of Nehemiah, impel us to have a life of power that comes from a life of prayer!
PRAYER: Lord, the only way for us to see more of Your power in our lives and for us to accomplish the tasks and plans that's given to us to do by You, is by prayer. We humble ourselves before You and ask that You help us to develop a life of continual prayer. In Your powerful name we pray, Amen
Scripture of the Day: "Listen to my prayer! Look down and see me praying night and day for your people Israel." Nehemiah 1:6

I Promise
One of the highest privileges that I have in this life is to be a father. Make no mistake, fathering is a challenge and offers its everyday surprises. But the challenges are outweighed by the joys of our children, fun that they invite daily, the smiles that reflect the pureness of their hearts, and the ambition that they innately possess to please those who matter most – their parents.
Although I have worked hard to mean what I say and say what I mean when promising things to my children, there have been times where I have had to explain why I could not fulfill my promise. In most, if not all cases, at least in my mind, there were reasonable explanations that absolutely prevented me from fulfilling my verbal obligation. But not in my children’s minds. Without a context or even needing one, they simply know that Daddy did not do what he promised. They even go as far as saying, “But Daddy, you promised…!” They are right. And as a Dad, it is the worst feeling when you cannot meet your obligation and duty. So to avoid this, I try not to make promises that I cannot keep. Plus, I go way overboard when I have a promise that I did not keep.
What is beautiful about serving God, there is absolutely nothing that prevents Him from keeping His promises. Absolutely nothing! He works backstage in our lives to present on stage fulfilled promises and realized petitions.
Over and over again, scripture confirms that God WILL answer our prayers.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." (Matthew 7:7) – Promise!
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22) – Promise!
"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:24) – Promise!
"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13) – Promise!
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14) – Promise!
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16) – Promise!
"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." (1 John 5:14-15) – Promise!
Scripture of the Day: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9

My Answered Prayer
“Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.” II Kings Ch 20:5
Hezekiah‘s testimony demonstrated that his faithfulness in living for God resulted in God’s swiftness to answer. As he was sick and near death, we see that Hezekiah’s appeal was effective because he was morally upright and ceaseless in entreating God.
A little over a year ago, I was suddenly fighting for my life against pulmonary embolism, where blood clots attacked my lungs. I could not breathe on my own and was immediately placed in critical condition. The reports and faces of the staff told a bleak story.
I recall the physician telling me he did not know if I would live until morning and the complete faith I felt, when I responded he must not have met the God I serve. Despite the predictions of the reports, I had belief that I was going to walk out of there.
Like Hezekiah, I have sought to live a life for God’s approval. Even when I fell short of the mark, I would try again with a humble heart. So then how do we make our prayers as prevailing as Hezekiah’s?
He first showed us that prayer was a personal request. You need to be able to go to your Father yourself and speak on your own behalf. There’s a time for the saints to cover you in prayer, but we have to also have a personal relationship with God.
I stayed in a place of constant prayer as I fought day after day in the hospital. I was able to speak with my Daddy and ask what was it He wanted me to know from this experience. I would simply say, Speak Lord. Speak to me.
Next, Hezekiah showed us that he had the potential of being righteous. He reminded God that he had a pure heart and had lived a life good in his sight. And sometimes we have to remind God of His own words and promises for our lives.
I was not in denial about dying, it was more that I was denying the possibility that I would not walk into my destiny. I reminded God constantly about the promises He had spoken into my life and that He could do anything but lie, so I had to live to fulfill my purpose in Him.
When we live a righteous life, we can be confident that God will hear our cry and answer our prayers in His own time.
Finally, we see that God’s power is revealed when He answers us. According to man, I’m not supposed to be here but I am. And if you looked over your journey, you’d understand that we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be.

To Believe Or Not To Believe
Dr. Charles F. Stanley
I have a friend whose heart was broken when his son decided he no longer wanted to be married. The father prayed that God would reconcile that broken relationship, but soon the divorce was final. My friend felt as though the Lord had let him down.
After Christ’s death, Thomas struggled with a similar issue. He had envisioned his Messiah ruling as King of the whole earth—but now Jesus was dead, and Thomas’s hopes were buried with Him. Had he believed a lie? Why had his Lord not done what the biblical prophecies said He would do?
When the other disciples reported that the Lord had risen from the dead, Thomas refused to believe unless he could actually see Christ’s wounds of crucifixion (John 20:25). Having been disappointed after putting faith in Jesus before, he hesitated to do so again without tangible proof.
Our trust in God can take a nosedive when expectations of what He will do are unfulfilled. Perhaps you can think of a time you asked the Lord for something and believed with all your heart that He would do it—but then He didn’t. What are we to do when it looks as if God has failed us? Keep believing! Jesus said, “Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed” (v. 29).
Thomas’s huge disappointment—Christ’s death—ultimately led to the greatest hope for mankind. When we feel that the Lord has let us down, we need to realize that in His great wisdom, He is doing something even greater than we asked.

Unanswered Prayer
I am so glad that God will overrule my prayers at times, because I have prayed for things fervently, believing they were the will of God, and they were flat-out wrong. I am so thankful that God said no to those prayers.
Yet I have heard some people say, "Never pray, 'Not my will, but Yours be done.' That is a lack of faith." Some have even said, "What you should really pray is, 'Not Your will, but mine be done.' Let's just say that I don't want to be standing too close to those people when lightning strikes, because they have things turned around.
Never be afraid to pray, "Not my will, but Yours be done." By saying that, you are simply saying, "Lord, I don't know all the facts. I don't know everything there is to know. My knowledge is limited. My experience is limited. So if what I am praying is outside of Your will for any reason, please graciously overrule it." You won't always understand how you should pray. What it comes down to is telling God that you want His will more than your own.
I know this is hard at times. Sometimes you don't understand why God doesn't give you what you ask for. When you are young and single, you may see a handsome guy or beautiful girl and just know that person is the one for you. But as the lyrics to a country song say, "Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers."
As time passes, you will look back with 20/20 hindsight, and you will say, "Thank God He did not answer my prayers," or "Thank God He answered my prayers," whichever the case may be.
Scripture Of The Day: And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." - Luke 22:41-42 (NKJV)

Boiling Point Prayer
Have you ever noticed how water, when set on a hot burner for a prolonged period of time, will begin to boil? As the temperature of the burner rises, the water’s activity increases. The longer it remains on the burner, the faster the water reaches its boiling point.
God desires for your prayer life to take on the same fervent quality as boiling water. James 5:16 says, “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” What a powerful statement! Isn’t it exciting to know that you are the one who determines the results you receive through prayer?
When your prayer life reaches its boiling point, that’s when the blessings of God spill over into every area of your life. According to Webster’s Dictionary, fervent means, “ardent; passionate; very hot.” The Amplified Bible version of James 5:16 describes fervent prayer as “making tremendous power available” and “dynamic in its working.” When you allow your prayers to “get hot,” so to speak, Scripture says that you will “avail much.” In other words, you’ll get the job done in the spirit realm. This type of fervency is not for show or to try and prove how “spiritual” you are. No, fervent prayer comes straight from the heart; it is the Holy Spirit rising up within you to cause a spiritual flood of power that cannot be contained. That is why you may see a believer whose prayers have reached the boiling point pace the floor, cry, rock back and forth or get excited. While you may not have the same outward physical manifestation of fervency that another brother or sister has when he or she prays, God will display Himself through you in His own way.
The ultimate proof of how “hot” your prayers are can be seen in your life: You will see positive, lasting results. The Holy Spirit will pray through you in an undeniable way, and you will see the manifestation of what you have prayed. Jesus’ prayers were dynamic, because we see throughout the New Testament that He got results every time (Matthew 14:23; Luke 22:41; Luke 5:16; Luke 9:28, 29). I believe that the power of God that was demonstrated in Jesus’ ministry was amplified by the fact that He had a fervent and consistent prayer life. Just like your big Brother Jesus, you, too, can see tremendous victory in your life by tapping into His secret to success.
How do you get your prayers to become fervent? The key is found in Psalm 119:97, which says, “O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.” When your spirit becomes saturated with the Scriptures through diligent meditation, your heart will become established on the solid rock of the Word. It is the Word of God that produces the power behind prayer. It builds confidence; it causes your faith to become unshakable. I don’t know about you, but I want to have the same dynamic, explosive results in my prayer life that Jesus did. You can too, if you tap into the power of God’s Word as your prayer foundation. Only then will your prayers take on miracle-working power and you’ll begin to see your circumstances change. Become a walking expression of God’s power in the earth by letting your prayers reach the boiling point!
