Description
Are you a playmaker in the faith? Author & Former NFL player, Michael Ray Garvin, breaks down the Bible into the great game of football.
Many times, we as believers get confused because we don’t read and study the Bible which is our playbook. God tells us to run a 20-yard post route, but we end up running a 6-yard hitch route because we let the enemy confuse us. Sometimes, the reason is we are operating in a lack of knowledge. We are then 14 yards away from our blessing because we didn’t spend time with God and did not read His Word. Don’t blame God, we need to blame ourselves.
Most people don’t realize that they have to be in position to receive the blessing from God. The Lord told the children of Israel to go into the land of Canaan, but they didn’t go in because they saw that it was already inhabited. The Lord told them it was theirs to possess, but they refused to listen (Numbers 13:25-33). So they wandered around for forty years in the wilderness because they did not put themselves in position to receive what God had given to them. In football, the quarterback will throw the ball to the designated area of the play call. If the receiver doesn’t run to that area— the area he is supposed to be in—then he will not catch the ball. Likewise, we must obey God and get in position to receive. The blessing is there–we only have to be ready to receive it.
Imagine an offensive lineman telling the running back in the middle of a game, “I don’t feel like blocking today.” The running back would look at the offensive lineman like he is crazy. How do you not FEEL like blocking when we are in the middle of a game? We are trying to win!
This goes the same for believers in the church. How do you not feel like serving? How do you not feel like praying? How do you not feel like giving, or supporting Christian ministries when Jesus died on the cross for us. He sacrificed so much for us to have fellowship with the Father. It’s not about how we feel, it’s about being obedient and pleasing God.
That offensive lineman’s disobedience to not wanting to block could get the running back injured. Our feelings of not wanting to pray for others or preach Jesus could affect someone’s walk with Jesus or an unbeliever’s salvation.
Michael Ray's book will also help the believer find their place and purpose in Spiritual Warfare. This book will also teach you how to tap into the power that is readily available to those who believe in Jesus.
