"What God Can't Do" is now available on KINDLE!
An updated ebook version is available at www.smashwords.com which will work on any video platform, including iphone and computers.
God could easily run the World without us, but has chosen to work with us as partners. Each prayer request we make has two parts: the part God works on, and the part we are to play in the process. He can't do our part for us.
If your kids have ever asked for a pet, you know exactly how this process works. First you looked at the overall benefits, and then there was the speech from you about "responsibility." In turn, they had to come up with a care plan outlining their participation. It was clearly a two way process.You wouldn't have allowed them to get the pet if it was going to turn into a harmful situation. Yet we often expect God to influence some situation (grant our request) without any further participation on our part. It didn't work that way with your children and it usually doesn't work that way with God, either.
We have to ask what role we are to play in fulfilling each prayer request, and we have to learn how to listen closely to His answer and be ready to act. Find more about that by ordering a copy my book at Amazon, Kindle, or at Smashwords.com (updated version).
What God Can't Do: Keys to Prayer Power
Don't let the title fool you! This 100% Christian book explains in non-preachy, common sense terms how faith, righteousness, healing, and prayer work.
Also great for seekers, agnostics, and "heathens" (like I used to be).
"WHAT GOD CAN'T DO" is also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc,
ISBN 9781-4343-52408

Collateral Blessings and the "Silver Bullet Prayer"
Many folks are looking for that “silver bullet” that fixes everything in life. Millions of motivation programs and books are sold every year and most are never used. Many folks who buy into those programs have a "Show me something new," attitude, yet they never quite seem to master the basics before moving on to the next new thing.
Regrettably, many of our prayers are structured with the same kind of mentality: “Do it now God, so I can get on with something else. Help me come up with a “home run prayer” that pulls it all together.” We expect Him to do it all while we sit back and wait, unaware that we have an important part to play in each prayer request we make.
You won’t find much of that "silver bullet" mentality inside my new book, “What God Can’t Do: Keys to Prayer Power.” Simple easy steps taken day by day will accomplish far more than reading the “right” book or following the latest success guru’s admonitions. Faithfulness in small things leads to faithfulness in great things, and never the other way around.
We almost never need the whole solution; just the next step. That’s what this book is about: seeking God’s guidance, listening to what He says about the next step, then taking it. Effective prayer is more listening than speaking, and I hope that message comes across as you read this book.
An unexpected benefit comes from periodically re-reading this book. You will most likely begin to experience the pleasant surprises that I call “collateral blessings,” where situations and areas in your life improve without your specifically having prayed about them. Also God may speak to you in sections that you skimmed over the first time aboutanother step to take, or solution to explore, now that previous situations have changed.
Please help get the message of hope, forgiveness, love, and power that I’ve tried to write into each page out into the world. Order (or download) your copy today and share God’s love with your family and friends soon. Email a copy of this message to everyone you know, and we’ll see how long it takes the message of God’s love to go around the world again.
Peace, joy, and love,
Pastor Jerry L. Lewis

Lives Under Construction! God has a purpose for each of our lives, and with His encouragement, we can achieve that purpose.
We could have been born in any other time and place, but God chose here and now for us because He has a job that we can do better than anyone else who has ever lived. That role may be great, small, or even microscopic on the scale of world events, but it is ours, and it is important. Discovering that role and actively working toward it brings peace and fulfillment, even if we are experiencing strife and turmoil. When we understand that process, we can pass on encouragement to those following us.
Our purpose is to provide tools to those who are searching to find their Life Plan, or those working to reach the next step along the Way. Please join us!
