Sometimes when we choose to live boldly by God’s word, there will be times that we get embarrassed.

For example, you believe that you have the authority to lay hands on the sick and they will be healed.
Then at a public gathering, you feel faith rising up and assure someone in a wheelchair of a healing miracle.
However after you pray, nothing happens. You’re embarrassed, the other person feels awkward and disappointed, and the people around laugh at you.

At times like this, it seems like have bold faith in God’s word caused you to sink, but so what?

When Peter sank, Jesus quickly took his hand. Even when you ‘sink’ due to boldness in God’s word, Jesus will never allow you to fall badly.
It will be within safe boundaries.

“But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭14:30-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

At times like that, just pick yourself up, dust off the embarrassment and continue trusting in God’s word—applying it even when others mock you and think you’re crazy.

All of us who believe in Jesus will go to Heaven, but only those who take risks and dare to trust Jesus for the miraculous will be able to tell Him in person, “Lord, remember that time when I trusted you for that crazy thing?”

Jesus will laugh together with you and it will be a special memory that no one else has with Him—a little secret between you and the God of Heaven and Earth.

Worldly believers who spent their whole lives enjoying the luxuries of the world and didn’t care about Jesus can’t bring any of those earthly things to Heaven.

Will one really want to be caught up in the Rapture to face a ‘stranger’ and say, “Hey, Jesus right? Thanks for bringing me up here even though I only talked to you a few times during my lifetime.”

In one of Jesus’ letters to the churches in the Book of Revelation, Jesus describes a special eternal reward we will receive which is a little white stone with a special name on it that no one else knows.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.” ‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭2:17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Sounds cute right? I elaborate about this awesome reward in my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. I would love for you to read the book and learn all the Holy Spirit has shown me from the Scriptures about eternal rewards.

The minutes didn't matter. The Denver Nuggets were just encouraged to see a uniform draping Nene's beefy body again, and that great smile splashed across his face once more.

The big Brazilian forward played the final 77 seconds of the Nuggets' 118-105 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, marking his return to the court 2 1/2 months after surgery to remove a malignant testicular tumor.

"Everybody was excited to see Nene back out there, just to see him back in his uniform, seeing him smile again after the stuff he's been through," said Carmelo Anthony, who scored 32 points and keyed the decisive run in the Nuggets' fourth straight win.

Nene had been out since Jan. 11, and it's been just over a month since he underwent chemotherapy.

In the locker room afterward, Nene never stopped smiling. He said he's still full of nerves, still absent enough stamina but certainly not lacking any strength.

"I survived, I'm still here," he said. "I'm a new man, stronger than ever, I just say, 'Thank you, everybody.' "

Allen Iverson added 31 points for the Nuggets, who are a half-game behind Golden State for the eighth and final playoff spot, and one game behind the Mavericks. The Warriors visit the Pepsi Center on Saturday night for another big matchup.

The Warriors visit the Pepsi Center on Saturday night for another big matchup.

"That game's bigger than this game," suggested Anthony.

But this game will long be remembered, too.

When Nene stripped off his warmups and finally entered the game with 1:17 left, he was given a rousing standing ovation and teammate Kenyon Martin embraced him in a bear hug.

"George Karl said, 'Go ahead, enjoy your party,' " Nene said of Denver's coach. "It's a special moment in my life."

Nene had hoped to play about 5 minutes, but those aspirations were dashed when the Nuggets fell behind by 15 points early on.

Besides, it's not as though the Nuggets were looking for a major contribution or even an emotional lift.

"It's not about how he plays," Karl, a fellow cancer survivor, said before tip-off. "We're just happy he's back and we're going to celebrate his health, we're going to celebrate his coming off of major cancer surgery, and we're just going to celebrate. This has nothing to do with basketball. We're just happy he's with us."

Iverson said this was a night he'll remember forever.

"He's a teammate, and he's somebody we care about and we want around, but life is so much bigger than basketball," Iverson said. "When it happened to him, it put it more in perspective for me that it's not just about this game, it's about life. It was just a good feeling and I was happy to be a part of it."

Karl said he wanted to cry when Nene got into the game.

"It's worthy of tears," Karl said. "To see him come back, he's a hell of a person and to help him through this, if we can help him play this year, it will be a great story, it'll be a great feeling, it will be a great building block for the character and chemistry of our team."

Anthony also chipped in 10 boards and eight assists, helping Denver overcame a 30-point night by Josh Howard and 19 points and 15 assists from Jason Kidd.

The Mavericks are 10-9 since acquiring Kidd from New Jersey, but none of the wins was against teams with winning records. Six of their final 10 games are against teams above .500, including two against Golden State.

Dallas fell to 1-1 since losing MVP Dirk Nowitzki indefinitely with knee and ankle injuries.

But the Mavs controlled the tempo for much of the game. Kidd was left unguarded on the left elbow and swished a 3-pointer in the third quarter to give the Mavericks a 79-71 lead.

The Nuggets responded with an 18-2 run, with Anthony scoring half of the points. His breakaway slam dunk gave Denver its first lead since the opening minutes.

Anthony sank four free throws with 3:17 left in the third quarter for an 86-81 lead after Dallas coach Avery Johnson and Howard received technicals for arguing a personal foul on Howard.

"Geez, I'm the only guy in the league that gets a technical by saying one word," Johnson complained. "It wasn't even a bad word. I was asking for a clarification. They have to get some tougher skin."

The Nuggets built their lead to 94-86 after three quarters and weren't threatened again.

Howard surpassed his scoring average of 19.6 points with a 22-point first half, leading Dallas to a 70-60 lead at the break. But without Nowitzki, the Mavericks couldn't keep repelling Denver's runs.

"I don't know if there was a void. Guys stepped up," Kidd said. "We just couldn't keep them off the boards and didn't take care of the ball in that second half."

Game notes

Anthony (23 years, 303 days) scored his 9,000th career point. Only LeBron James reached that milestone at a younger age (22 years, 352 days). ... The Mavericks are 1-2 without Nowitzki this season and 16-12 (.571) without him for his career. They're 495-255 (.660) with him.
