Never Say Never! There is always hope.

Hello to All,
I pray this finds you all safe and well.  The purpose of this blog is for us to stay connected to one another during the difficult time of the COVID-19 Pandemic. I will be writing some thoughts every day or two while we are waiting out the rise and fall of this horrible virus. Here and there we may have some visiting bloggers so keep checking back. This page will be linked to SCCF's Facebook page.  At the bottom of the blog you can give comments.  I pray this will be a blessing to you all.  So here goes...

Hezekiah's Bold Prayer

Reading:   Isaiah 38:1-8

Wow!  God changed direction from what He had previously decreed because of one man's prayer.  Two important distinctions are laid out here.  Hezekiah prayed and Hezekiah wept bitterly.  Prayer reveals his desire and weeping reveals how he is feeling.  And God heard his prayer and saw his tears which in turn causes Him to change His mind.  Fifteen years are added to Hezekiah's life.  I was praying concerning COVID-19.  So many countries have incredible losses and Canada is growing in concern so asked Father God what scripture He wanted me to turn to.  The immediate answer was Isaiah 38:2-3.  I felt like God was telling us to get real about this issue.  We must be compassionate and care deeply for the nations and then cry out in prayer and He will come to our aid.  

Do you feel compassion for China, Italy, Spain and Iran?  What about Europe and The Americas?  Will you get bold in your prayer like Hezekiah?  Will you ask for the impossible?  Do you believe God is in the business of answering prayer?  Let's get busy.  Let's pray for nations and for people and for businesses and family.  Let's not let this time of separation be a time of separation for God's heart for the world.

Happy Spring?

Happy Spring! Is it really; happy I mean?  This certainly is a different kind of spring than I've ever seen before.  As the weather gets better we will be able to get outside even though social distancing is now the norm.  And this is the earliest spring in your lifetime. The last time spring came this early on the calendar was 1896.  The spring equinox also is one of the two times per year where almost most of the earth has equal amounts of day as night.  That in one sense puts us all on the same playing field. It seems to me that this is a very new time for all of us and we are all on the same playing field.  We all feel under the same threat, the same financial hit, the same social distance and the same waiting game. We have gotten past the initial fear.   What do we do now? Michele had a word for us this past Tuesday that feels very important to share... Joel 2: 1, 12,13 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy hill.  Let all who live in the land tre

Supernatural Creativity

I love the prayer of Jesus in John 17.  Look at verse 4… John 17:4 (NIV84) 4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Jesus life is a picture of the Christian life.  Christian means "like" or "originating from" Christ.  What does it look like to be on the on Earth in this moment and to glorify God by completing the work that God has for each one of us to accomplish? The amazing thing about this day is that God has given us the creative power to wisely choose new directions and keep on doing the work.  The creative Father, Son and Holy Spirit are working in and through us even in this unusual day of world shutdown.  It is a little crazy out there and the killer is silent but God has not moved out of His position of power and glory.  Nor has our Father taken back the authority, creativity, spiritual gifts, and faith that He has given us.  It’s Monday morning, time to get to work glorifying God in all that we do.
