The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

Expecting Miracles

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 8, 2023

We are not unsuspecting people who came to Jerusalem and walked into a miracle. We are already part of an ongoing miracle - and don’t want to miss a minute of it!

Three times a year, every Jewish man was supposed to come to Jerusalem to give thanks. Their Thanksgiving, like ours, was in the fall. They called it the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, though, because people built temporary shelters out in the fields to sleep in overnight, that is if they slept ...read more

Are You Positioned For Revival?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2020

The lame man, like many Christians today, didn't get his miracle in the agitated waters, because he didn't position himself close enough to the revival zone. If you want revival, you must get and stay as close as possible to the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost Power

Contributed by Brian Williams on May 31, 2023

Jesus loved us so much He came to die for us, to save us, and after His ascension, empower us as His people. Do we believe this, have we experienced this? How often we miss the mark when we attempt to do spiritual work without spiritual power.

Acts 2:1-13 NLT On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and ...read more

Sputtering, Stuttering, And Shuddering

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 4, 2009

Without Christ providing us with our strength and ability we are no more than sputtering, stuttering, shuddering Christians.
