Do you believe life with God is possible?
No seriously.
Do you really believe life with God is possible?
Do you really believe it’s possible to walk in victory over sin or have you decided you’ll probably struggle with the same stuff the rest of your life?
Do you really believe it’s possible to live free from stress and anxiety or have you given up on that completely?
Do you really believe it’s possible to have conversations with God throughout the day or is that something you stopped putting effort into years ago?
Do you really believe it’s possible for God to speak through you?
Do you really believe it’s possible to introduce people to the King of God’s Kingdom?
Do you really believe it’s possible to live an abundant life?
I do.
But I didn’t always.
I’ve spent most of my Christian life chained to shame, anxiety, embarrassment, sin, self-pity, and patterns of disbelief and self-reliance.
I would have said I believed life with God was possible but, as Jon Keith (a Christian rapper) says:
“Survival and living look the same to the one who don’t see.”
I couldn’t see.
I couldn’t see that the life I thought I had with Christ was really just me on survival mode — trying to survive the unhealthy and sometimes destructive patterns I lived in. Trying to survive the lies I believed about God and myself.
Just surviving.
It wasn’t until God gave me a word from His Word that I was able to have a vision for real life.
”But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.“
—Psalm 92:12-14 (NLT)
After a season of despair and defeat, God met me with a word. He confirmed it the following day at church during worship. It would be a difficult season, but a season that led to flourishing.
That was January 2nd, 2022 and since then, everything has changed.
I have more life. More peace. More fruitfulness. More joy. More health. More belief. More boldness. More of everything God wants me to have.
I still have so far to go.
There are so many gaps between who I am now and who God has created me to be. My bet is you see some gaps in your life as well.
That’s why I write — to explore the life we were created to have with God. To close the gaps.
And I’m happy you’ve come along with me so far. I am excited for what’s upcoming for this newsletter.
Here are some of the changes & new things coming.
Newsletter title change: from “Brandon Moore’s Blog” to “Exploring Life with God”
Here’s a free download of a 7-day devotional called, “7 Days Toward The Life You Were Created For” that I wrote
Practical video resources on spiritual disciplines and spiritual gifts are coming later this summer
Some of this will be for free, some will be for paid subscribers only.
Guest articles from people really living an abundant life with God
All of this & more will unfold as we move forward. I’m more committed than ever to helping people like you close the gaps and live an abundant life with God.
It’s possible, I know it is.
Because it’s possible, we must do whatever it takes to obtain that life. And that’s what I’ve committed my life to doing.
Thanks for joining. Can’t wait to journey forward with you.
