Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Do You Need An Unlimited Supply???

“And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe...” Ephesians 1:19

If I had a thousand gallons of water to give you but you only had a one-gallon container, you wouldn’t be able to receive what I had for you right? Is the problem with the supply? No it lies with the container and your ability to receive it ~ the supply is actually more than sufficient for you if you would get rid of the small container and get something larger, the I could give you so much more.

It’s the same way with God. We might have a tendency to think, “The economy is terrible. I could never afford that house I really want." or "My business will never expand. I don’t have the funding. I don’t have the people behind me.” We just can't think and believe this way ~ you’ve got to get rid of that "one-gallon bucket" thinking! Get rid of that small container because the God we serve is a BIG God and He has an unlimited supply for you and me!

Jesus said in Matthew, “According to your faith it will be done unto you.” It’s not according to God, even though God has all the power and all the resources in the world ~ it’s according to what WE believe.

We need to start increasing our capacity to receive, to receive everything that He has for us. We need to enlarge our thinking by meditating on the Word of God and enlarge our vision by believing in Him to provide our needs, wants and desires. We MUST praise Him and magnify Him in the good and bad because when things look impossible, with God all things are possible and He has an unlimited supply! Hope in Him today =)

Father, thank You for Your unlimited supply of everything I need in this life. I open my heart to You; I choose to take the limits off. Increase me so that I can receive every blessing You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
