What to read this week:

• Chapter 4 of God is Able
• 1 Samuel 17

This week is going to be a little different...

Chapter 4 is the chapter that focuses on "exceeding abundantly beyond". Priscilla does a wonderful job of attempting to help us grasp just how above and beyond God's power is! But, in our humanity, I don't think there are words to truly make us understand it.

Go ahead and read chapter 4 and soak it in and see if you can gain a tiny glimpse of God's way past way past abilities. Then after you do that, come back here and watch the video on this page. It is close to an hour long so do it when you have time to sit down and really listen, I promise you, it will be worth it!!

Martha Tennison was the speaker at our Women's Fall Conference in 2012. If you were at that conference, the message she is preaching is not going to surprise you. She preached the same message at conference, but there are a few things that I think are different in this one. However, even if you have heard it before, I truly feel this week that we need to be reminded of it.

Not only should we know and believe that God CAN handle our battles, we need to realize that our battles are not ours, they are HIS!! And because we KNOW that He can do exceeding and abundantly above, we need to willingly and openly trust Him to fight those battles on our behalf.

One of the reasons that I enjoyed Sister Tennison so much (and still google to find messages to listen to that she has preached) is her countless stories of God doing exceeding and abundantly above and beyond. She is a woman who still believes unrelentingly in the power of the Holy Spirit, Miracles, and Signs and Wonders.

She is a pillar of the faith that I feel blessed to know about. We still serve a miracle working God!! Let's not forget that!!

Discussion Starters:

This week, I am not going to post specific questions. Let's just reflect on the chapter and on Sister Tennison's message, "The Battle is the Lords".
