Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "amazement". It's found in Acts 3:6-10.

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.  KJV

This is the Greek word: ekstasis. Strong's Concordance says: A displacement of the mind. (Bewilderment; ectasy). Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: universally, in Greek writing, any casting down of a thing from its proper place or state; displacement.  2. a throwing of the mind out of its normal state, alienation of mind.Vine's Expository Dictionary says: to turn inside out, to change entirely. What the people saw when the man at the gate received his healing completely amazed them! 

They had never seen anything like that! I believe that when we BELIEVE, something happens to our physical body and our mind! This IS the time of supernatural manifestations of God's GLORY and HONOR and PRAISE! HE wants to work THROUGH us much more than WE desire it! I really believe that people who see you and your family, with all that you do and how well you all do it, are in 'amazement'! Many times it is not our words that reach people, but our simply living a life that gives God the opportunity and the room to DO GOD things! You DO YOU and GOD does GOD and people are blessed, and AMAZED! Just like in this song by Brandon Lake called "Count 'Em"! 

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
