5 Bible Verses to Help You Move Forward By Faith During the Pandemic

As we slowly navigate through this “new normal” and carefully enter different phases of reopening during the pandemic, it’s natural to feel worried, afraid and a mix of other emotions about these uncertain times.

But God doesn’t want you to stay frozen with fear.

God can help you move from fear to faith, worry to worship and panic to praise.

This transition time, that includes the civil unrest and protests going on nationwide, can be an opportunity to  drawer closer to and trust God in a deeper way.

This new season can be a fresh start for you.

May you move forward by faith! And may you be filled with God’s love, joy, peace and boldness.

God is speaking during these trying times. May you take the time to really listen to what He is saying and draw strength and hope from Him.

It’s so important to continue reading the Bible and to keep praying and praising.

May you take courage knowing that as a believer:

1. God’s Holy Spirit Empowers You  – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV)

2. God Can Handle All Your Burdens – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV)

3. God is Working things out for Your Good – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28 NIV)

4. God Will Provide for You Day by Day – “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:33-34 NIV)

5. God is in Control from Beginning to End – “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

The road may be rocky now, but it won’t stay that way forever. May you take heart and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2 NIV).

Stay well. Stay Encouraged. Choose Faith Over Fear and Move Forward By Faith. Blessings!

Blessed Start to the Abounding Faith: Choosing Faith Over Fear Online Class

“I love the class.” – Abounding Faith Online Class NYSB Student

“I am so excited to join class, and thanks for your instruction to the class.”  – Abounding Faith Online Class NYSB Student

My classroom may look different from the one I used last June (pictured above), but what joy it is to teach the Abounding Faith: Choosing Faith Over Fear online class through the New York School of the Bible during this unique time in history!

We had a blessed start to the empowering class last Monday, as you can tell by the two students quoted above.

I’m thrilled that we had a student in Taiwan join us. She’s my first truly international student and most likely my first reader in Taiwan. God is Good! We also had a student in North Carolina join us.

Within the first half of the class, one student shared that her faith was already being strengthened. Praise God!

A few students burst out in song after the closing prayer. Beautiful!

Amid the fear and unrest and waves of other emotions sparked by the ongoing pandemic and recent protests, it’s an incredible time to be encouraging students in their faith in God!

These are such trying and turbulent times we’re living in, but God is in Control and He is Greater than anything we will ever face.

I’m so grateful that in these dark days, this class is a ray of sunshine.

Thank You to all who are praying. It’s such an honor to help empower people in their faith! Please continue to pray that God will continue to use me to reach students near and far and that He would continue to meet us in special ways.

Amazingly, my class roster continues to grow.

If you can’t join us for class but would like to bolster your faith, be sure to read your Bible and you can get a copy of the challenging Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible in print or on Kindle on Amazon. This powerful devotional is great to read on your own or with a group.

Stay Well. Stay Encouraged. Move Forward By Faith!

Teaching the Abounding Faith Online Class at the NYSB in June

I’m thrilled to announce that I will once again be teaching a summer class at the New York School of the Bible (NYSB). The Abounding Faith: Choosing Faith Over Fear class will be an online course taught on the following Monday nights: June, 1, 8, 15 and 22.

Ladies and Gents, I hope you will join me for this timely class that will help fuel your faith. You can take the Abounding Faith class from the comfort of your own home, no matter what state you’re in.

Join me for this powerful time of fortifying our faith by delving into God’s Word and discussing God’s awesome track record for coming through for His people.

Here is the course description:

As Christians, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight.  Many times that is easier said than done, especially during this trying time we are facing.  In this class, we will look at the lives of various Heroes of Faith from the Bible and examine how their faith in God was tested and thus learn how God came through for them in their greatest time of need.  The insights we glean from their experiences will help to equip and empower you to trust God’s faithfulness no matter what challenges or obstacles you may face.  This course is designed to fuel your faith for without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Registration should open today. Please click here for more information.

I’m honored to be part of the NYSB’s faculty. It’s such a blessing to get to teach this course that is based on my second book, Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! 

It’s a joy to inspire others in their faith.

God is Good!

Please tell others about this empowering and faith-igniting class.

Thanks for your prayers and support and thanks for staying on this faith adventure with me.

Stay well. Stay encouraged. Choose faith over fear 🙏

Happy 5 Anniversary to Waiting on God Well Book

It’s the 5th Anniversary of my very first book Waiting on God Well 🎉

I’m grateful to all my wonderful Readers! I love hearing how this book has blessed ministry leaders and men and women waiting for breakthrough in their personal and professional lives. Waiting on God Well has encouraged those waiting to find a new job, waiting to meet their spouse, waiting for healing and waiting to launch their ministry, etc.

It’s an honor and privilege to get to inspire my Readers.

Thanks for helping me celebrate this milestone!

Waiting on God Well gave me time to address a deep prayer request of my heart I had sort of ‘buried.” I took your book on a plane trip, underlined and prayed my way thru, even journaling some. Thank you for your encouragement!” – Reader

God is Good!

Who knew that now I’d be working on Book 5 … God knew! And He knows what else He has in store … thanks for staying on this faith adventure with me.

If you haven’t read this uplifting book, here is an excerpt from the Foreword of Waiting on God Well:

“Waiting is not passive. It’s not for the weak but for the strong. It takes strength and courage to wait for God to give you the green light. It’s not about having a blasé attitude.

Instead, it’s about expecting God to come through in His perfect timing and open doors that no man can shut. It’s taking God at His Word and believing that He will do exactly what He promised to do!

My prayer is that you won’t despise the process you are going through, but that you will look for Jesus, even in the tight places, because He is right there with you. He is leading, guiding, and loving you. He has not forsaken you! He will bring you through.”

I’m sharing more excerpts and insights from Waiting on God Well in Season 4 of the “Abounding Faith for Today” podcast. You can check out the short and inspiring episodes on:
