Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get to where you wanted in life because of one reason or another?  Not enough time, not enough money, not enough experience - the list of reasons could be endless.  Well, did you know that in the will of God for YOUR LIFE, you can do ALL THINGS?  (Philippians 4:13) 

The reason many people try and fail or have stumbling blocks in their way all the time is because they’re pursuing the wrong things in life.  Pursue God’s heart for your life, and you’ll succeed.  Pursue God’s dreams for your life, and you’ll achieve them.  Pursue God’s passions and your life will be blessed!

If you are tired of hitting your head on the ceiling of life’s limits, it’s time to profess and proclaim “No more limits!” according to Phil. 4:13 and begin to fine tune into what God has been trying to tell you all along.  It is His desire to give you a “Rhema” word for today!

“...I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”    - Philippians 3:14

Paul says that if he learned anything throughout his ministry, it was that he learned to forget the things of the past and to reach for the things that lie ahead. He learned he couldn’t afford, spiritually speaking, to camp out on his mistakes, or the mistakes of others. He had to continue reaching forth for the good things God had in store.

If we’re going to go through trials and come out on top, then we have to be people who are established in putting our confidence in God and what He can do. Going through trials and being refined is a process. In order for a silversmith to get high quality silver, he has to heat it up and let the dross come up - all the impurities and weaknesses have to rise to the surface so he can wipe the silver clean.

This refining process in our lives leaves us pure, clean, and gives God the ability to see Himself reflected in us. So today, forget those things that are past - the dross of your life - and reach toward the good things God has planned for you!
Adapted from the sermon entitled, “Coming Through it With Confidence

Life brings us many questions.  Is it a gift?  A curse?  Is life a choice?  Do we own it or does someone else?  What are we supposed to do with it?  If you are new to River of Life or if you are looking for answers, you’ve come to the right place.  In God’s Word we find the answers to all of these questions and many more, and we’d like to share them with you.  Sometimes life is not easy, and sometimes we need help.  Often we need it but aren’t even sure which way to go in order to find help.  What most of us need more than anything else is peace, and the knowledge that the grace of God covers us in all points of life.  Join us for powerful worship, practical teaching, and life lessons which will bring you to new heights.

Whatever your life is like—really good, really bad or somewhere in between—you have the power to change it all…one word at a time. You have the power to speak to every facet of your life and start a revolution of change.  You have the power to alter the course of your marriage, corral your children who may be straying into dangerous places, even propel your career from okay to better than you ever imagined—all by the way you speak.  No, it’s not some magical, hocus-pocus formula. It’s learning to recognize the power God has given to you, and learning how to use it according to His will.
