Igniting Hope Ministries

God did not give us the imagination to be the devil’s playhouse but to be the womb of faith. Negative worry is imagining your future as if God does not show up. Positive worry is imaging your future as if God fully shows up. In this fun and enlightening message, Steve Backlund shares how to worry with God about your future 

God partners with what we give Him to work with. As we release love, prayers, faith, declarations, and other actions, we become catalytic for kingdom advancement. This message will inspire you to be more intentional to influence how much God will do in and around you.

“Do You Want to be Made Well? Jesus asked this question to the lame man by the Pool of Bethesda. It seems like the answer is obvious, but it really isn’t. Join Steve Backlund in this inspiring message that will help you demolish the victim mindset and its destructive effects on our lives. 

We need “You can do it!” people in our lives. We need “You can do it!” ministries consistently feeding into us. We need a “You can do it!” God that we are believing in. This message takes truths from Joshua chapter one to help us believe God is really for us, not against us.

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day” (Ephesians 6:13). The evil day represents those times when we face a seeming onslaught of uncertainty and testing. This “evil day” can happen to us personally, as a family, a church, or even as a nation. Many are currently experiencing an evil day because of what is happening in the world. This message will encourage and strengthen you. Attachments area
