What if...?

(October 3, 2015)
I recently saw a trailer to a new movie about Steve Jobs---the man whose vision for innovation in communication technology and a deep ‘fire in his belly’ to envision the future drove him to keep asking the relentless question: WHAT IF?  It was that incredible sense of adventure in Steve Jobs which changed the landscape of the way we ‘communicate’.
 It made me think---“WHAT IF we began to dare to believe God for the most excellent things to happen in our lives, so that the ‘theatre of our imagination’ would take a whole new turn for the amazing?” 
John 11:39-40/ “Martha, the sister of {Lazarus} who was dead, said to {Jesus}, ‘Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.‘ Jesus said to her---‘Didn’t I say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?’”  In other words---‘WHAT IF YOU DARED TO BELIEVE ME?’
We know what happened to Lazarus.  Even with all the crowds of sobbing people, including his sisters, Mary and Martha, Lazarus was still lying dead, surrounded by the stench of death.  HOWEVER, one Man had a “God-notion”.  WHAT IF the dead man doesn’t have to stay dead but have brand new, God-breathed life?
We are ALL ‘Lazarus’!  Without God breathing salvation into our lives, we are merely ‘dead men and women walking’.  However, WHAT IF we are willing to let someone in our lives ‘roll the stone away’ from our hardened hearts and instruct us into breathing the BREATH OF LIFE by inviting Jesus into our hearts?
If Steve Jobs could inspire the world into communicating in a whole new, dynamic way---HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE COMMUNICATE WITH HEAVEN ITSELF by conversing with God Almighty on a daily basis. There are no weak or dropped satellite signals to worry about, no internet viruses, no unwelcomed robocalls---
“NO WEAPON formed against you {can ever} prosper…” (Isaiah 54:17)
WHAT IF we said to Jesus---WHATEVER You want for my life, Lord, COUNT ME IN!---?  
WHAT AMAZING THINGS GOD WILL INTRODUCE UNTO US!  WHAT AMAZING THINGS GOD WILL DO THROUGH US.  GOD WILL TRANSFORM OUR ‘WHAT IF’S' INTO ONE CONSISTENT ‘WHY NOT?’!!!
