Have a little talk with Jesus

There is nothing that makes my day more than having a little chat with Jesus in the morning. Not a one way conversation with me talking all the time but an actual back and forth dialogue. This morning from the moment I woke up I began praying. I prayed for everyone and everything that came to mind. Then I had a little talk with Jesus. No wise and eloquent words, no shouting no fireworks, just a normal conversations between two friends. I told Him how I felt about everything going on in my life now. Things thats bother me and things that don't. He then reassured me through scriptures. It was awesome. It is amazing what you can learn from Jesus once you sit and speak to Him like a friend. I encourage you today to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and talk to Jesus. Not a one way conversation but listen to what he has to say also. I assure you He will have something to say. God Bless You!

He wants it all.

So this morning I was reading a devotional that made mention to Luke 14: 16-20. This is the story about the man who planned a feast for many of his guest and sent out invitations. The persons he invited were all to busy with there jobs, purchases and relationships to come to the feast. I know what your thinking, we must be prepared for the coming of God and be sensitive to his soon return or never turn your backs on God, he doesn't need you for heaven to go on.

Unfortunately, that's not what I am thinking. This morning I realised something that i didn't before. The guest of the feast who turned it down were people who knew the feast was happening. They knew in advance that the feast was going to happen they were just not sure of the time. But they had an idea of when the time came.

God is calling us at present to take a stand in where we are at with him. He is calling us back to him. We have made school, our jobs and yes even our significant others idols. Its now or never people. I don't know about you but i want to get to heaven. I have served God diligently on this earth and I do not want to be distracted from the ultimate prize. The return of Jesus is sooner than we think, it really is time we get serious and establish and acknowledge the Sovereignty and His Lordship. Acknowledge Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Don't be to busy for your Creator. All he wants is all of you.

Love the way you Lie...

Most person's reason for not giving there lives to God and finding a church is because 'they are filled with hypocrites'. And it is true, church is filled with hypocrites. You cannot get away from it. People lie. It just happens. People lie to protect themselves. People lie. Should that though keeo you away from having life everlasting. So you allow people to keep you out of heaven. When you come into the knowledge of God you are held responsible for what you do from then on. The entire church could be living a double life, does that mean you do too. Will we contiue to blame people for our mistakes. Will we contiue to pass the blame and lie to keep ourselves out of trouble. The same bible everyone reads is the same one you should own. Search the scipture yourslef. What does it say about sin? What does it say about you? What does it say about Jesus, who cared so much for us that he died even though ther was a chance that we would turn away from him? Do we see the extent of that love. There was no surity that anyone would serve his Father but he chose to die just in case we did. That love is unconditional. So guess what people will lie, people will cheat, people will stab you in the back, but God wont. Dont allow people to keep you out of what is promised to you. Do not allow the lies of the enemy to mess you up. Do not allow people to keep you from your blessing.

God Bless you!

My Testimony Part #6

The text basically said that they had a dream about me and in that dream i was dead. They were crying out to God for my sake and God said that to long I have been warned and i needed to get my life in an order or i would loose my life. Now i dont know if this was spiritually of physically but i didnt care either way. I did not want to die any death. It was though like a confirmation of all that I was feeling. I knew that the message was for me and right there and then I spoke to God. I had meant it all the other times I said it but this time I asked for forgiveness making an extra effort to live right.

At this point I dont know what I was doing right from wrong, what i did was to try and live as morally right as possible. My life began to reflect truly who God is and I became the light he called me to be. I knew many biblical principles but now i was living them. God had a lot of things to work on in me and I was okay with him taking them away.

Since then I have been doing my best (with the help of the Holy Spirit) to become the wonam he wants me to be. I have been blessed with many people in my life who has promoted the growth of my Spiritual Life. I have lost quite a few friends though. God requires sacrifice and one of the things I had to sacrifice was me and my wants and my desires. I was asked to surrender my self completly and I did. God asked me to leave the choir and I did. Some friends didnt understand I took for God and I lost them. Some thought I became too 'Holy' and ran in the other direction.

It has been truly awesome with God and my life has changed for the better. I do miss the friends I have lost but I know God has a plan in store  for me and His opinion is THE opinion.

And do not get me wrong. I am not perfect. I still fall on occassion. But God is and awesome God! And by his grace and mercy I will get through.

At this point I am...I not to sure what I am...but I am sure that I am not where I was and I thank God for that!
