May the gifts that only Christ can give be yours, and may His love, joy and peace be yours throughout each day.

"They shall call His name Emanuel, God with us." Matthew 1:23

I'm glad you've taken time out to stop and read The 5 Minute Life Coach, I have a gift for you.

My friend Dr Jerry Graham is offering his latest book as a free download for the next 3 days. So if you have a Kindle or know someone who does, here is an opportunity to download a book well worth reading. If you don't have a Kindle you can download a free Amazon app and read the book on your computer.

Have you ever wondered about questions like these?

• Didn't Jesus come to do away with the law?
• Didn't Paul teach that the law was for the Jews only?
• Don't we live in the age of grace rather than law?
• Didn't you say that all foods were OK to eat?

If you're ready to take a closer look at doctrines that you have accepted and followed without knowing why, this book presents Scripture that explains Scripture, and helps you to think through difficult questions that help you to understand what Scripture actually says and draw your own conclusions about what the Bible teaches. It's surprisingly easy to read.

But Lord: A Scriptural Look At Popular Christian Beliefs

Dr. Lance Wallnau said, "I found myself wanting to argue with him -- but could not. He nudges you along so gradually that you are surprised where you end up."

I highly recommend you download his gift and let your friends know about it.

Now lets talk about what to do when faced with the seemingly impossible or something that just seems TOO BIG.

Often, when God asks you to do something big, it seems impossible at first because in the natural, you can't see how it can possibly happen. Yet, if you press in, ask God to show you the way, and ask Him to open doors and give you what you need to bring it about, the seemingly impossible often becomes very doable.

The key to overcoming impossible situation, seeing your dreams come to pass, and fulfilling your life purpose, is to look with eyes of faith. Keep your eyes OFF the circumstances and ON Jesus, the author of your faith.

Ask the Lord to show you how to pray and what to do, then step out, and with faith filled prayer, shrink obstacles to the molehills they really are, and breakthrough.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible; calling forth that which is not yet, as though it were. Romans 4

If you only ever attempt the possible you won't develop very strong faith muscles.

I encourage you to listen to what God is saying to you and reach for what He puts on your heart with fervent, faith-filled prayer, followed by focused action.

If I had allowed not knowing how to create a website to stand in the way, God wouldn't have been able to use me to bless so many people in so many nations.

It was a HUGE CHALLENGE. In January 2007 I began with an inkling of an idea, and determination to do what God had laid on my heart and slay the giants. I discovered that NOTHING is impossible with God. As I TRUSTED Him and dared to STEP OUT, and do what seemed way too big for me. He provided the help, know how, and inspiration I needed. He connected me to amazing people and opened doors I hadn't even dreamed of.

In 1985 I was 30 and single and had begun to wonder if God would ever give me the husband and children I longed for. I reminded Him of His promises and reached out in faith, even though in the natural I couldn't see anyone who seemed even remotely like a possible husband.

A week later, a colleague introduced me to Tim, and I soon knew that God had given me one of his treasures. 6 weeks later Tim asked me to marry him and just 12 weeks later we were married.We went on to have 5 children!

We have had many adventures along the way. We have faced many seemingly impossible situations. Our first child needed major surgery and if we hadn't reached out in faith and put our hope in God she would have died when she was only a few weeks old.

In the last 10 years Tim has had long periods of unemployment through no fault of his own. This year he hasn't had any work since April. BUT we are fine. We look with eyes of faith and trust that our Heavenly Father knows what He is doing. There are many blessings from Tim being at home and available to people who need his help. The Lord is our provider, not Tim's job. and the Lord has never let us down

Our life together has had its share of difficulties, but as we have reached out and trusted God He has rewarded our faith and made a way where there didn't seem to be a way.

Are you facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles?

I encourage you to pray, dare to believe, and act on what you hear God say. When you do that you'll find that the Lord helps you to slay some giants too.

Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tyre?

Please don't just pray when you feel like it or when you have to because things are so bad that there's nowhere else to turn. Make time with God a priority. Schedule your day around time spent with God rather than trying to squeeze Him into your busyness.

KNOW that Jesus Himself is interceding for you, and remember that He has given you the Holy Spirit as your helper. He promised that He would never leave you or forsake you. He is ALWAYS with you. Stop for a moment and think about that, let it sink in. Jesus Himself is interceding for you.

Don't let anything keep you from praying, reach out to God and know that He will meet you were you are.

Prayer is meant to be a dialogue. God's voice in response to yours. I encourage you to take time to learn how to recognise God's voice and be sure to act on what you hear. Your life will never be the same again.
