Power Of "WOW!"



Key Scripture:  “God can do anything you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!”  Ephesians 3:20, The Message
Power Point:
I dare you.  I dare you to lift up your head and begin to see that there’s more to life than what you are experiencing right now.  I dare you to begin to move up a level in your thinking from "just enough to get by” to “Wow!”
Isn’t it time you begin to pray “Wow!” prayers? Those are the prayers that bring answers that take your breath away. All you can say is “Wow!”.  
Don’t you think that we stay “stuck” in our prayers? Aren't we so busy asking for daily things that we forget to dream with God? Isn’t it just the tiniest bit possible that God would like to do more?
What if you asked Him for more? What if instead of stopping at “needs”, you pushed the envelope of your faith and asked God to do “more than you need”?  What if instead of “making do”, you could have more than enough? Enough to share. Enough to bless someone else. Hmm.
Are you aware that that is exactly what God wants us to do? He longs for us to ask for “more”. He's longing to add a little "WOW!" to our lives.  Don’t you think we need to get to the place in the kingdom where our faith has grown up? Where we move from “God, I need,” to "Oh, God, I dream of ______!” He’s all about your dreams Beloved. He’s all about above and beyond, remember?  He’s all about you!
The "Wow" Girl
Our Reagan Grace
What if today you prayed a “big” prayer, daring God to answer it? What if you blessed your children to be mighty on the earth, to become more than they’ve ever dreamed, and to be so full of the Spirit of God that He leaks out from them everywhere they go? 
What if today you asked God to bless your finances so much that even the government can’t stop them from increasing? Have I got your attention yet?
What if today you asked God for the manifestation of the perfect health He died to give you?  What if you invited Him to transform your limited imagination into the mind of Christ?
The thing about God is, if you can dream it, He can do it! And more. He loves the opportunity to answer “WOW!” prayers. Sometimes we ask Him for things that He can do with one hand tied behind His back and His eyes closed. He’d really like to do more!
One morning many years ago, I was looking at a picture of my granddaughter, Reagan Grace. It was her birthday and she is looking up at the camera with a total “Wow” moment. As I looked, the Lord said, “I want you to have that look on your face every time You look at me.”  Wow.
Has it ever occurred to you that He really LIKES to do miracles?
Is it time to release the “Wow!” in your life? Of course it is.  The more you ask, the bigger the “Wow!”.  What’s the biggest thing you can dream up to ask Him today? I dare you to take a week and put aside the mundane things you’ve been asking for and add a little punch to your prayers. I dare you to go beyond where you are and explore where He is. Come on. Add a little “WOW” to your life!
I double dog dare you!
Power Thought:
He loves to see the "Wow!" on your face!
Is it time for a little walk on the "WOW!" side?
