COULD IT BE
Michael Mushok, Aaron Lewis, Jonathan Wysocki, & John April
Recorded by: Michael Card
CHORUS:
Could it be You make Your presence known so often by Your absence
Could it be that questions tell us more than answers ever do
Could it be that You would really rather die than live without us
Could it be the only answer that means anything is You
When Michael Card was cool, I didn't know who he was. Quite frankly, aside from knowing him as one of the icons of Contemporary Christian Music, I still don't, really. But the first time I heard him sing this lyric, which hasn't been but about 6-7 years ago (the song is much older), Michael Card became a part of that list of artists who brought us songs that changed our lives. The verses are ok, but it was this chorus that really hit me! And this week, years after hearing the song, God may have, for the first time, shown me why.
For my entire life, I've heard the old phrase, "Ye have not because ye ask not." Scripture says, "Ask and you will receive." Click on this scripture reference and see it again from the very mouth of Jesus! These words would be in red letters of a red letter edition Bible. Read John 14:13-14. See the recurring theme? This week, as I was doing my Bible study, I came across one other verse I want you to read. Click this scripture reference: Ephesians 3:20. So not only is God telling us to "ask," but He's also showing us in the latter verse that He can accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or imagine!
Ok. Great! God can and wants to do that for each of us! But how many of you know that it don't always happen like that?!? I've made the bad choices! I've been to the bottom! I've been the guy with the gun to his head vowing to take his life because I'd messed up, lost it all, and didn't know what came next! And in that moment, when I was wanting the answers to those questions of what comes next, I ASKED!!! Nothing. No next step was given. No trust building, faith building answer that I expected after all those sermons I heard about "asking God" and the "answer is already on the way." BS!!! (To be quite frank.) It wasn't! I felt just as alone as I was before I ever asked the question!
Then...this past week...it finally hit me. I didn't need the answer. I already had it! Not to be cliché or steal an old lyric from André Crouch, but JESUS IS THE ANSWER! In Exodus 3:13-14 (click on the reference to read it), Moses was being sent by God to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. So Moses asks God to give him God's name so that the Israelites will know that it really is God who is sending him. "What's your name, God?" "I AM." God was the way out back then. He parted the sea, took care of the pursuing army, the whole nine! He made the way!
This happens throughout scripture. He made a way for Joseph when his brothers sold him into slavery. He made a way for Daniel in the lion's den, Noah on the ark, 3 Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, Jonah in the belly of a whale, David when facing the wrath of both Goliath and Saul, Paul when he was facing stoning, fed 5 thousand men and their families with 5 loaves and 2 fish, calmed the storm when fear overtook His disciples, died on a cross for the sins of the world, and conquered death and the grave when He rose again! God makes the impossible possible, and the impassable passable. THERE IS A WAY AND HIS NAME IS 'I AM'!!!
So then, if we know the answer, why ask the question? And here is the precious gem of a lesson that God taught me this week: because we learn not just from asking the question, but asking the right question! Think about it this way. Remember algebra class? I HATED algebra!!! Almost failed it both years I had to take it! They give you some ridiculous thing like: a + b/c = 32. Then they'd want me to solve it! I'm like, DUDE! The answer is 32!!! That's what the "=" thingy means!!! DONE!! Move on!! But we learn more in algebra many times from what's on the left of the equals sign!
I know so many people that hit their faith ceiling at God granting them a close parking space at Walmart! They get out and claim, "I must be living RIGHT!" Hey God gives me those kinds of spaces too, but I don't know about YOU, but I want to be known for more when I die than the fact i was consistently getting the best parking spaces at Wallyworld!!! Here's the new math that I've learned for my life: my giftings and talents + my desire to seek the heart of God in all I do ÷ my willingness to obey = God's response and blessing in my life. Now honestly, maybe not EVERYTHING can be boiled down to a formula! God will not be bound by those!!! But if you use this as a general rule of thumb...
See we spend our time asking things like:
"Which job...?"
"Who will I marry...?"
"Should I go out to eat tonight...?"
It's not that questions like that don't matter to God, THEY DO!!! But God doesn't stop there! Think past that!!!
So I hear you saying, "Alright, Mr. Smarty Jeans, what would YOU suggest I ask?!? WHERE DO I START?!?" Thank you for asking. Let me tell you a short story and then I'll give you A place (not THE place) where you can start.
Alfred Nobel. His last name is probably best known for being the namesake of the Nobel Peace Prize. But it wasn't always that way. Alfred made his money as an inventor. Know what he invented that made him so wealthy? DYNAMITE! One day, Alfred's brother died. The local newspaper made a mistake and posted that it had indeed been Alfred who had passed! So the next morning, Alfred got the chance to do what I dare say few ever have, he read his own obituary! A French newspaper titled it: The Merchant of Death Is Dead. Upon reading it, he just couldn't let death be that for which his legacy would mark him, so he instead promoted peace and the Nobel Peace Prize was born. (Thanks, Jamie Brandenburg, for sharing this story with me!)
I'm going to ask you to start by taking a lesson from Nobel. I want you to write your own obituary and your own epitaph (that small phrase on your tombstone that will tell generations following you who you were: "loving husband," "devoted father," "gracious, kind and forgiving"). I don't think any of these would be your first choice:
"Always got front parking spaces at Walmart"
"#1 Manager in this district"
"Had 3 houses and 10 cars...they're not here, by the way"
NO! We want to know we left a legacy that made the world better than we found it! It doesn't have to be global! As a matter of fact, the very first place we're commanded to make a difference is in our immediate spheres of influence: families, friends, children, work places. See? Once you have what's on the right side of the equals sign (=), there are only so many problems/questions that can lead to that answer. The answer dictates the question! It's not just that we ask, it's what we ask! Is it in line with God's heart for the world? For YOU?!?
To find that answer, pray. Ask God to let you see you through His eyes. Give up your pride and your preconceived notions about you and just trust. Look at the ways He has gifted you--spiritually. I'm not talking about talents here. Sometimes they're involved, but I'm speaking of your Spiritual Gifts. Are you a giver? Compassionate? A Helper? Teacher? Pastor/Shepherd? Leader? Prophet? Evangelist? And the list goes on. Those core gifts will be at the core of the purpose for which God has placed you here. Those are the very DNA of God that marks who you are on this earth.
Remember our song that we started with? "Could it be the questions tell us more than answers ever do... Could it be the only answer that means anything is You?" YES! They do! And yes, He is.

...and that's the way I WANT IT!!!!
I remember in the late 90's when I was serving a church in Ohio. My Pastor there introduced me to the teachings of Dr. John C. Maxwell. Maxwell has written numerous best-selling books on the subject of leadership, with his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership being one of my favorites to this very day. Back then, Maxwell was Pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in San Diego, CA, and did a monthly mentoring club via cassette/CD called The Injoy Life Club, appropriately named for his company, Injoy. This club sent leadership lessons to church leaders each month along with lesson notes for you to fill in the blanks.
In one of these lessons, John stated that he had not originally planned on being a pastor, but instead had a degree in counseling. His story goes that he was so excited to be able to help those in need of hope, that he went into his first few counseling sessions with great enthusiasm! But when they would report back to him the next week for the next session and he asked them how things were going, the response was mostly that things were going the same as they had been the week before! Didn't he give good advice? Of course, he did! Sound and Biblical advice. Was there follow-up? Yes. So you what was the issue?!? The same one that exists today. Those people didn't WANT to change! They either loved the drama, or wanted the magic pill that made everything better with one single dose!
You know the people I'm talking about! They're the people who always find themselves in the middle of some kind of situation. They're mad at someone or someone else is mad at them. They've been done wrong by a friend (usually former friend) or someone is causing a crisis type dilemma. One thing is for certain, it is almost NEVER their fault!!! Always quick to point out the faults in others while ignoring their own, they normally have some level of delusion of grandeur that has blinded them to the real truth of the circumstance. I was counted among these people! But thank God, I've been DELIVERED!!! :-) Seriously, about five minutes of conversation and the negativity starts to boil out, IF it takes that long! So you get the picture. Maybe you got a better picture when you looked in the mirror! Just sayin'.
So how do we overcome this?
1. Speak Biblical truth. This is where 99% of us will do EXACTLY...nothing. We will be the ones about whom Dr. Maxwell remembered. We may say that we're going to do it, but then it drops from the priority list quicker than last year's New Year Resolutions! But you have GOT to start speaking OUT LOUD the things you WANT to be, not the things you think you ARE! The Bible tells us who we are in Christ. You've heard me talk about how I say some Biblical truth each day that is taken straight from scripture. They are taped to my bathroom mirror at home so I see them every day to remind me. If you would like a copy, click here and you will be directed to my blog where I listed them. Print them off! Use them!
2. Speak practical truth. My pastor, Danny Chambers, recently spoke of a speaker he heard once who challenged the audience to put the phrase "and that's the way I WANT it!" right after everything they would say about themselves. It teaches you to pay attention to the way you speak!
"I'm sick...and that's the way I want it!"
"I had a bad day at work...and that's the way I want it!"
"I didn't get that contract at work...and that's the way I want it!"
If we start speaking the way God speaks about us and sings over us, we would start to see changes in our lives! I HAVE!!! Ask anyone that knows me and is close to me right now! There is POWER in words!!!!
3. Expect goodness. But when trouble comes, recognize it for what it is. Read by clicking here what scripture says in John 16:33. That's not an option. We should EXPECT goodness, but recognize trouble as just an attack to distract or discourage us. Your biggest breakthroughs are often preceded by your biggest breakdowns. Pastor Danny says, "The size of your challenge is usually an indication of the size of your future!"
4. Worship in your pain. David did. Click here. David had just had to pretend to be insane and Abimilech had sent him away. And he starts exalting the name of Christ. Worship does two things in our pain. First, it takes the focus OFF of our pain and puts it ON Christ. When we focus on other things, we can't focus on present trials. And second, it creates an attitude of hopeful expectation for God to step in and work. These are the ways He responds best!!! Write this down: "What you magnify will mess you up or lift you up!" Are you magnifying Christ, or do your words magnify your problem?
Most people win or lose their battles on the battlefield that's between their ears - their minds. What you entertain there will manifest into speech. What you speak manifests into your life and who you are. BE CAREFUL! BE WISE!!!
I could go on and on here with what God has taught me. But this is enough for now. I have a feeling you may need to start practicing putting "and I want it that way" after everything you say about yourself. Know that I'm praying for you as you get this and read it and hopefully start applying it.

Plans and A Purpose
Click on this scripture reference and read 1 Corinthians 2:9-12.
I've read these verses many times prior to a few nights ago. But God revealed something to me that might not seem big to you, but it did to me. I've joined with people all over the world, maybe you're even one of us, who have searched for God's purpose for your life. I think that even the fact that Pastor Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life, sold so many copies, gives evidence to the fact that people the world over are concerned with their life's purpose. I was called to the ministry when I was 16 years old, but I've come to learn that sometimes your calling and your purpose are not always one and the same. Many times, maybe even MOST of the time, your purpose lies within your calling.
Since moving to Nashville, I have made some new friends. I'm thankful for all of them! Some of them may even prove to be the rare life long friends. But one of these friends, Jamie, challenged me back in July to do a 5 year plan for myself. Having walked away from local church ministry a little over two years ago for a number of reasons, and having been in a wilderness experience almost ever since that event, I was really at a loss for where to even start! I'd taught leadership on a state level to church leaders, led volunteer armies of 200-300 in my former role of Worship Pastor, but trying to come up with a vision for myself seemed to be a much more daunting task!
Jamie and I had met at 10:00a that morning, and he wanted it in his Inbox by 8:00p that night!!! I remember sitting down right after lunch with my laptop and just staring at a white screen wondering where in the world to start. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that God brought Michelle and I here to Nashville, TN! None whatsoever! The doors He kicked open for us to be here and the favor He has shown on us since arriving has been quite overwhelming, if I'm honest. But how many of you reading this, who have experience with a relationship with God, know that just because God's unmistakable hand leads you somewhere, doesn't always mean He shows you WHY He led you there upon arrival?
So I prayed. And as I prayed I started typing. And as I typed, God revealed some things about me that I, with His help, needed to change. He also renewed some dreams that He had given me long ago that I had let slide. He renewed some passions within me and gave me new ones in the process. I got a vision for what He could do in and through me and it EXCITED me! When I got done a couple of hours later, I was amazed at what I'd written. As a matter of fact, I thought it was a bit grandiose and even questioned God as to whether I'd written some of it out of greed or pride. The details of my plan and the ways that God confirmed it to be from Him are not important for now. Just know that there was a confirmation as to the details. What IS important is what I saw that led me to even type the first word. And that part of the story takes us back to scripture.
Click on this scripture reference and read Isaiah 55:8-9. Think back. You may even have to think back to your childhood. What were your dreams? I'm talking about the dreams you had when you were old enough to be passionate about something. They've been there all along, and no matter how old you are right now, they've never gone away. Resources, age, lack of experience, life circumstances may have gotten in the way and you laid your dreams and passions aside, but they've never gone completely out of your mind. Yeah. Those. Think on those for a minute.
Now click on this reference and read Jeremiah 29:11-13. Now when this reference is used, most people stop with verse 11. GREAT! We have a hope and a future! But there is more to it than that. If we are to KNOW that hope and future, we must pray and seek God! It is when we seek that we find. Remember the verse in Isaiah? God's ways and thoughts for us are higher than our own. You know those dreams you had? Well God put them there. And His purpose for them is even HIGHER than what you think could be done!!! Getting excited yet?!?
Now let's go back to the first passage of scripture you read at the beginning. Verse 9 talks about how no eye can see nor mind imagine the things that God has prepared for us. That is SO exciting and great to know! But how many are like me and you want to taste the dough even before the cookies are in the oven?!? I'm glad that there are things being prepared for me one day in heaven when I see Him face to face! But what about right now? Jesus came to establish His kingdom on this earth. Not that this earth is heaven, but that we might experience a portion of the eternal in the here and now!
Now look at verses 10-12. Do you see it? God has given us His Spirit which searches out and reveals to us God's "deep secrets." We have a window into the very mind of God!!! A window that He controls, mind you, but a window that reveals to us His higher ways and thoughts about us and His plan and purpose for our lives!!! I believe with all my heart that when I sat down to write my 5 year plan, that it was this window through which I saw what God has planned for me and will do in and through me if I remain faithful!!!
I challenge you to do a 5 year plan for your life TODAY! It's much like a prayer journal for your own life. In a prayer journal, we see and record God's answers to our prayers as they happen and it strengthens our faith. With a 5 year plan in place, you can see God working and bringing to fruition those things He gave you dreams and passions about. You can watch His encouragement in your life as He opens doors and you pass through them. It's a wonderful faith building tool! Plus you get to see through His Spirit those things which He has in store for you, His faithful child.
