A Message from Anointed Messenger
Since I didn't share a message yesterday I decided to 'randomly' select a message from one of my many Anointed Messages vessels to share on Twitter and I selected "Enjoy the ride." I had to laugh because that was the follow-up message I planned for Monday's message about mountain biking. On Monday I pointed out that mountain bikes were built to handle rough terrain, and that we should not only be confident when dealing with tough spots - we should enjoy the ride. Well I want to focus more on enjoying the ride.
 Why do we do things like go mountain biking through rough terrain? I see some bikers tackling huge hills, doing tricks, and navigating through the forest full of trees and obstacles. Why not stay in the safety of their homes? Because it's fun. It's thrilling and there is a sense of accomplishment when we conquer a challenge. After biking I'm often dirty and sweaty and sore but I can't wait to get out there and do it again another day. Well I think God wants us to have that same attitude when we approach life's problems. A challenge? I can't wait to tackle it. When several problems pop up at once our attitude should be "Ooh an obstacle course, this should be fun!" And we Believers can be even more excited than thrill-seeking bikers because we have God's promises as our assurance. I can't wait to see how God is going to make this work out for good. I am looking forward to getting double for all this trouble.
Recently I dreamed that I had a Ferrari. It was silver and brand new and beautiful. But I was so worried about something happening to it that I kept it in a garage all the time. What a waste - Ferraris were meant to be driven. It was a shame to keep such a powerful car from doing what it was created to do. I hope you're driving, riding, and using whatever God has given you. I pray that you approach life as more than a conqueror. Have fun navigating through the rough terrain with God as your guide. The glory of God will shine through you as you rise to the challenges before you.

More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[j]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
