The question we want to ask you, both today and in the coming weeks, is this:
In your life, what are the things that you need, perhaps desperately, that deep down, you know only God can deliver in you, for you, and through you?
Things like:
Intellectual – What God can do for me is renew my mind with His truth, giving me wisdom, discernment, and understanding to navigate life well (Romans 12:2).
Emotional – What God can do for me is bring peace, healing, and joy, freeing me from anxiety and filling my heart with His love (Philippians 4:6-7).
Physical – What God can do for me is strengthen and sustain my body, helping me steward my health as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Spiritual – What God can do for me is draw me closer to Him, deepening my faith and transforming my life through His presence (Micah 6:8).
Marital – What God can do for me is shape my marriage to reflect His love, building unity, faithfulness, and selflessness between my spouse and me (Ephesians 5:25-33).
Parental – What God can do for me is equip me to love, teach, and guide my children in His truth, modeling His grace in my home (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
Social – What God can do for me is cultivate meaningful relationships, teaching me to love and serve others as He has loved me (John 13:34-35).
Financial – What God can do for me is provide for my needs, teach me contentment, and empower me to be generous with what He’s given me (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).
Vocational – What God can do for me is give purpose and excellence in my work, using my gifts to serve others and glorify Him (Colossians 3:23-24).
Avocational – What God can do for me is bring joy and fulfillment through my passions, allowing me to enjoy life while honoring Him (1 Timothy 6:17).
We invite you to prepare for Resurrection Sunday - Easter - with the expectation of Resurrection Power…IN YOUR OWN LIFE! Cards will be available each week for you to ask God in your prayer life, allowing our staff to pray over those requests with you.
But please, remember that this is about your intimate relationship with God when we ask, “What is it that you need that only He can fulfill?"
God encourages you to approach Him with boldness and faith—so don’t hesitate to ask for what you truly need!

Only God can change nature—the nature of our environment, our health, and evil itself.
Consider this for a moment. We live in a world obsessed with change, but a lot of what we experience feels frustratingly immutable. The struggles that keep arising, the systems that resist transformation, the habits we cannot break, the healing that eludes us, and the people who seem never to grow up, move beyond, or annoy us.
But what if the source of true, lasting transformation is not found in our striving, but in surrendering to the one who designed it all in the first place?

Only God Can Change Nature
"The miracles that have already happened are, of course, as Scripture so often says, the first fruits of that cosmic summer which is presently coming on. Christ has risen, and so we shall rise... To be sure, it feels wintry enough still: but often in the very early spring it feels like that. Two thousand years are only a day or two by this scale.”
- C.S. Lewis

He will accomplish it His way, not ours. If it were always our way, it would never get done, because there are things in this world that we cannot do!
The question is: Do you see it? Are you looking for it? Or have you resigned yourself to thinking some things will never change?

Only God Can Forever Change Health
God is not limited by medical impossibilities.
God is not limited by medical impossibilities.
God's healing doesn't always come in the ways or timeframes we expect.
God is still in the business of changing what seems medically unchangeable.
Only God Can Change Evil
This is because at its core, evil isn't just a behavioral problem—it's a heart problem. And only God can truly change a heart.

Only God can take what is evil and not just neutralize it but redeem it for good.
The opposite of evil isn’t good - The opposite of evil is Love - And God is Love!
The ultimate demonstration of this is the cross. What appeared to be the triumph of evil—the brutal execution of the innocent Son of the Living God—became the very means of evil's defeat.
The worst thing that ever happened became the best thing that ever happened. The greatest injustice became the source of all justice.
