God is Able (Acoustic Version by Hillsong)

God is Able (Acoustic) performed by Matt Crocker

I put this version together to help worship leaders and musicians (all you guitar players out there) to be able to watch and play along. I call this "Play Along" and I've gotten a lot of great feedback from you who are able to plush play, pick up your instrument and worship along with the song. It's a format I hope I can continue to use to help those in the church grow in their abilities.

God is Able is a great, acoustic version of the song performed and sung by Matt Crocker of Hillsong. Words and Music by Reuben Morgan & Ben Fielding and chords / tabs so you can play along by David W Geipel. Be blessed with Hillsong's God is Able.

LIMITED TIME. LIMITED ATTENTION.

Law of Scarcity
I use to work for one of the most successful direct marketing companies on the planet. They had all the right ways of getting you to pull out your credit card to buy-now. Actually, they found a way to create a virtual card on file so you didn’t have to pull it out the second, third, fourth, fifth times and so forth. That’s powerful when you stop to think about the friction that removes you from making a purchase.

On of their most powerful tools however was based on The Law of Scarcity. This is law that is really controlled by their customers, not the company. They manipulate the results only by reminding you of it.

So what is the The Law of Scarcity?
According to Wikipedia, it is: “Scarcity is the fundamental economic problem of having seemingly unlimited human wants in a world of limited resources.”

What does this look like in the context of direct marketing? Here’s some powerful terms they use both verbal, audible and visual.

• Limited-Time-Only: through ##/##/## or until…
• Countdown (time or units): 100,99,98…
• The next… (For the next, to the next… etc)
• Only XYZ available… 
• Until…

People always want more of the limited item or resource - because they can’t have it. We are finite beings who desire something infinite.

Unfortunately, this also relates to our relationship with God. We cannot produce more of two things very easily: time and money. It says in Exodus and Deuteronomy among other places that God is a Jealous God.

‘…for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God)…” Exodus 34:14

He is jealous how we worship Him. We worship Him with both time and money. We worship Him in our time by what we do... AND... by how we think. Our thoughts and intents of the heart are judged by Him through His Word (Hebrews 4:12). Yes, what we think, when we think it along with our intentions are all judged. Just open His Word and He will draw us closer to Him through soaking in His Word.

Perhaps you've never considered how you spend your scarce time & money. But God cares.

My name is Dave Geipel and this is my blogger (now blogspot) site. I have a lot to say but little time to say it. I love short, sweet, to the point messages. Married to my college sweetheart Michelle and we have four active children. My interests include Business, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Writing (articles, books and music), Leading Worship and Drinking lots of Coffee - so let's get together sometime over one to talk.

This world is a little crazy. Things move at a rapid pace, but sometimes we need to hit || PAUSE || or just slooooow down. Focus on the big picture and complete the details. It will all come together. Just realize your life is bigger than you. It's not about you... it's not about me, David Geipel - I get that already. But I need to be reminded. So take any insight, wisdom or instruction as merely words for myself to take to heart.

No matter what we decide in life, we place our faith in something. It could be power, money, our family, spouse, kids, friends, ministry, work, etc. Despite the attention these require, there is One who desires your heart - Jesus. He's the one who gave Himself as ransom for many. His blood on the cross paid it all. You need to accept that payment paid on your behalf and as a result, turn to Him in all things. So perhaps some of my encouragement will help you too. It's my hope and prayer and keep looking up!

Blessings
