Fully Alive

Notice Luke 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now, go back and read it again. Did you see the man’s physical condition? Jesus didn’t describe the injured man, as unconscious or lifeless, Jesus says the injured man was half dead.  Not almost dead, nearly dead but half dead.  So, if he was half dead then he must have been half alive.  Half alive means there is hope. Half alive means “keep trying.” 

That’s who this podcast is for, the half dead who are still half alive. For those who need a lift. Encouragement around you and passion from above. A spiritual change of events and a spiritual change of your ambitions. You need a lift from above. Isaiah 59:1  Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Living on Empty

People have lived – sometimes down and sometimes up. Some by our own choosing – some by other’s choosing. God’s hand is reached down, not to back hand us, not to spank us, not to hurt us but to lift us. Psalms 136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. He is with me, never alone and “With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm.”

It’s your turn to grasp the hand that will help you up. Empty means there is capacity for fullness. Brokenness means there is an opportunity for healing. Pain means there is an occasion for healing. Down isn’t bad because the next hand you feel will be the hand of God. Weak isn’t bad – you have just realized how much you need His strength. Many have walked this road and many have found the way out, many felt a divine lift from above, the lift that pulled them back on their feet.
