Don't say I didn't warn you..
He was One of the smallest. One of the cutest. One of the oldest. Yet, one of the most powerful Jedi's in galactic history. Yoda was a straight boss son. He was a beast in all things awesome. He could force-breach your uncle, and beat your dad with the hilt of his light saber, all while he pwns your math teacher in an academic decathlon Oh yeah, he's that good…. ..(but Boba Fett will forever have my heart.)
I can relate so much to Yoda. Hence, this blog. Besides the extremely obvious fact that we're both complete champs, he's small, and underestimated. But, he contains power. And, he uses that power for good.
I may not be much. I'm just Logan. I can push buttons on a game, pick some strings on a guitar, and tell a few jokes, but I'm just Logan. I can't do anything spectacular. In fact, I can hardly get out of bed.
But, I have a heart. A heart of a believer.
I believe, with every ounce and fiber of my being, that there is a God in Heaven who calls us His children. That wants nothing more than to lavish us with love. That is so willing to spend time with us, that He took his own flesh and blood, and destroyed It to save us from ourselves.
I believe that the same God who contains the power of the universe calls me His son. I believe that He is infinite, and therefore, all aspects of Him are endless. His love, His mercy, His compassion, His grace, His humility, His power. I believe He created me, and everything I'll ever know.
I believe that the same God who created me, can hear me. He can see me. He is with me. He is in me.
I have faith in my God. But faith often goes wasted.
Stick with me for a moment..
Imagine this:
What if we lived in a world where people actually believed that miracles could happen. That supernatural blessings from Heaven would rain down, because we stood out in faith, and made a bold declaration to do something. To not just sit back and dream, or hope, but did something. What if we decided to break down our walls, come out of hiding, and forget our fears.
"Fear is not real. It is a product of the thoughts you create. Fear is a choice."

Children of God. Listen to me. You may believe that you're a nobody. You may believe that there are some things in this world that are impossible. And I am here to kindly tell you, that you are completely wrong.
Hundreds of years ago, sinners like you and I, "nobodies", would come to Jesus, pray and ask for great things to happen. For the "impossible" to happen. They did so with such faith and boldness, that things would happen. Miracles would happen. The "impossible" became possible.
Our God doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
So what has changed since then? Nothing.
God doesn't get old. God doesn't get tired.
He is still Almighty God. He will ALWAYS be.
Don't let that fire that burns so deep inside of you, go out. It is Heaven sent. God Himself, put that spark inside of you. So act upon it. The next time you think that something is impossible, call God out on it. See if it really is impossible. And I guarantee you that your entire life will be lifted. Your outlook on "impossible" will diminish.
If I could encourage you, be bold. Be bold to God. Pray boldly. Pray for the "impossible". Pray for huge things to happen. Pray for world-wide changes.
God honors bold prayers, because bold prayers honor God.
"If your prayers don't seem impossible to you, they are insulting to God. The most important prayers are those that go un-asked."
(Yes Pastor Patrick, I do more than text during service.)
God has great plans for us. His word promises that. But how long do we need to wait, if we all just sit around hoping? He's giving us an opportunity, to ask, and act in faith.
Children of God, the time is now.
Father God, you are endless. You are constant. God, I pray right now in the name of Jesus, that You would change our hearts. That Your name would be glorified by our prayers. That people world-wide would make a stand and be bold. God that we wouldn't just ask for miracles to happen, but Lord, that by faith we would believe that nothing is impossible. That You are Almighty God. God, give us a craving to see Your Kingdom come. Instill in our hearts, desires to change this generation. Jesus, I pray that by your name, nations would fall to their knees. Powers would crumble under your Kingdom. And Jesus, that Your people would call back to You. God, that the broken that long for a savior, are given the opportunity to know of THE Saviour before it's too late. That God, orphans wouldn't go unsaved. That Your people would do Your name justice, and share nothing but love with this world. This world that is so desperate. This world that broken. This world that needs You now. Holy Spirit, fill this place. Make your presence known! Fill the voids in our heart, and suffocate us with your love. God I pray that the gates of Heaven would be opened. That, the supernatural would become natural. That the impossible would become possible. And that God, You would be glorified in all things Holy.
