God will do the rest. If there is something you need to do or accomplish, push the trust button and voila! God will do it through you! If you have been wracking your brain trying to remember something, let God program you to  receive grace . In an instant, what you need will be downloaded into your thoughts. If you need restoration or reconciliation in a relationship, simply enter forgiveness . Mercy will generate a new program. If you are faced with an illness or disease of any kind, put a power, strength or wholeness disk in the zip drive of your mind. Program a new diet, a new thought pattern, a better connection to your source. Enter

Purpose

God is the perfect Father who never brings children into the world without providing for them. Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.

Each can tell of a personal encounter with the captain, for each has received a personal call.... We each followed him across the gangplank of his grace onto the same boat. There is one captain and one destination. Though the battle is fierce, the boat is safe, for our captain is God. The ship will not sink." (Grace f
