When Christ seen you in your nasty
disgusting state he said "This is my child” he took us in and give us one thing that nothing else could, A HEART OF FLESH! He took that stony heart out and reminded our
brokenness and restored our faith.
when I see anyone down and out and lost in sin my heart goes out to them and I want to tell them that nothing that they are doing can change their situation without Jesus.
The church today has closed there bows of compassion and has started shutting out the ones who needs to hear the word the most.
GOD LOVES YOU, BUT HE REALLY LOVES THAT SINNER... stop warming the pew and spread the Gospel NOW IS YOUR TIME!!! ALLOW JESUS TO USE YOU AND MOVE YOU AND BRING THAT COMPASSION BACK!!
We have a purpose in life that requires a certain amount of discipline, we can’t go through life and think that we can do anything and everything and still carry out our call.
Time is DisciplineWe get tied up easily with our daily
schedule, so much that we lose track of what God wants to do for us in our life.
After a long day of work we just want to come home and relax, we want ME time. When we get that hunger for God so strongly that we can’t sit still and just have to move or like Jeremiah said “ like fire shut up in your bones” when we get to the point that we can’t be satisfied just setting around passing time on the computer or television or even cell phones. God wants the best for your life and you have to give him your all in all, your time your body and your mind. When Paul was on his way to kill the Christians he had a God encounter, where he was knocked off his horse, don’t ever think that just because in your site you’re doing that means in Gods site you are. What God has for you, you will work for and it isn’t an easy job to carry through with, the fact of the matter is most fall short because they lose what it takes to run the race and they give up and go home with their tails tucked.
LongevityWith everything in life, in order to keep in the game you must have longevity in and passion for what you are pursuing, rather it is a business or career or ministry, a family or just whatever the case is. Understand, God will place a vision in you and then it’s up to you, if indeed want to carry the longevity out in your life.
Take Job for example, he had it all but when it was taken from him he knew what he had to do. Even when his wife had said told him to curse God and die, he stayed in the race. Sometimes we feel like our longevity has turned into a short road and we give up, the key is to run the race and maintain course. In the Book of Job it talks about all the issues Job faces and in the end he get Double of everything back, what I’m saying is when you stay in the race God will bless you and see you through it all.
Temptation on the road of longevityWhen we are going down the road to longevity we will find that temptation will arise in us from time to time, DON’T WORRY! At the time of temptation keep your focus and your eyes on Jesus. When David saw Bathsheba bathing he was tempted (Note: it is not sin to have thought, the sin is acting on the thought quickly ask God to heal and cleanse your thought and go on) If you will notice that in the story is says that when all of the mean were out to battle he stayed back. When you are alone that’s when the devil works, unless you keep your ears and heart tuned to God and his word. (2 Samuel 11:1-6) when David seen her he had to have her and because of this sin he cause his son to die and her husband to die. When will we learn that what is done in the dark Will and shall be brought to light!
He wanted that longevity as the king and ruler but this temptation took over and ruined a small part of his life so to speak, he lost his son, to any father who has kids you can imagine the pain he felt, he had fasted and prayed and nothing worked. He made an Ishmael and because of that he lost his son.
Fight for FreedomIn this day and age in which we live we have a choice, either serve the lust of the flesh which is Satan, or the walk in which your eternal life will be determined by Jesus.
So many time children, mostly teens find themselves wandering,1. Am I loved?
2. Why doesn’t my parents understand
The chains of addictions are the hardest to break. Teens find themselves saying “oh one time won’t hurt, It is fun” but what about that next time and the next?
The devil paints you such a beautiful “picture” attractive Girl/Boy and then that’s all it takes you put your pinky toe in the door and allow Satan full reins of your life, but when the fun is over you are just as lonely as before still looking for something to feel the gap in your heart.
Two keys to breaking chains1. Invite Christ into your heart
2. (Rom 10:9,10) simply confess your sins to him and he will take them never to be brought up again when you so this you may still have the addictions though. . Why? Oh glad you asked.
2. When you invite Christ in you are saved from hell. Now it is time to bring it all to Jesus and lay it on him, all the hurt all the pain he wants it all, hold nothing back at all. You may have to have a burning, get all your magazines, and what ever else is holding you and burn it ensuring that you will not go back to it.
How To Keep What God has Given you1. Know who your enemies and weapons being used against you.
2. Make it a habit to talk to god daily, wake up and tell God good morning all through the day talk to God and tell him everything and go to bed talking to God.
You know, there is something about talking to Jesus and having his presents present all the time.
3. Rebuke the things that Satan tries to bring up and quote Romans 8:1 “ There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit”
God loves you more than you’ll ever know. God will never deliver you into the hands of Satan, stand close to Jesus in all you do (casting down all vain imagine
Why is imagination so bad? Your imagination invites Satan into your mind and to take over.Stand firm and understand that God is the only one who can help you;
After a service one night I went home and changed my clothes about to relax and enjoy the rest of the with a cup of coffee, I kept my phone beside the front door on the table to keep good phone reception.
I received a texted and noticed that it was a guy from the church I just left , the text read “What has God done for you?” I went off telling him everything! He then began blasting MY JESUS! I didn’t like this at all. I quickly recognized that this was an act of the enemy. After a while of him texting me he began talking in third person, this guy was known for being possessed by demons, when the third person.
I shut him off and refused to text back at all. Later i called the pastor and he informed me that this has happened several times that night. This is why I stress to you GUARD YOUR MIND; take control of your MIND and EMOTION.
