His power that is at work in us is able to carry out His purpose super abundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think. He works way beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams. If we would allow God's power and Spirit to work in us and through us we would experience the God ordained life. He can grant us above and beyond what we can even think--the promised life.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Ephesians 3:20
Bless the Lord With Your Praise
One must only read in the book of Psalms to realize how mighty and awesome our God is and how much he deserves our praise. What a privilege it is to bless God with our praise and to do so is an act of adoration. Praise and worship must be done with all your soul, mind, will and emotions. Let us not forget what God has done for us in the past and let a praise be on our lips.
- Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name. - Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits -
Psalm 103:1-2
- From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Psalm 113:3
We are the offspring of God; we are to be like Him in character, behavior and faith. Only those that search and seek will become like Him.
- And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
-
Acts 17:25 (NIV)
- This is what God the LORD says—
he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it -
Isaiah 42:5 (NIV)
Life lived without hope is a life of despair but having the knowledge of God's Word and applying it to your life everyday will give you hope. 
Ask yourself:
You can find fulfillment, joy and peace in God's Word. And you can have a complete life.
- We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants."

Hebrews 6:11-14 (NIV)
Our present circumstances hinder our faith in what God is trying to do through us. Let's not dwell on the past. Let's keep looking to the future. Do you wonder what God's plan if for Freedom Church? God has a plan for us. Freedom Church is a church that is changing lives for the better.
- I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.
- So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.

Philippians 3:13-16 (The Message)
How Are You Spending Your Life?
Our days are being spend by the second and our lives are passing by so fast. Just how are you spending your days? Service to righteousness and God or sin unto Satan? It's your life; make the best of it with Jesus Christ.
- "As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe]. For He knows our frame, He [earnestly] remembers and imprints [on His heart] that we are dust."
-
Psalm 103:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
There is Meaning in Life
Life, to some people, seems to be void and empty. We just do the same things over and over. Life has no meaning, it's just a cycle. Jesus didn't mean for it to be this way. Knowing Christ and His promise gives life a complete meaning. It's your choice.
- "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."
