Holy Anger

Holy Anger!

Latey i have been having alot of Questions on the things that really matter in life and have been following Gods lead on what he says in His word. and going to Him first for His opinion on how this body of believers is supose to function . When I read how the early church gave till it hurt or how they uplifted eachother and depended on oneanother to get through hard times . Even a step further to reach out to a community they didnt even know to show Gods love , it breaks my heart to see discord among fellow Christians we are the branches of this lovely community and we need to get back to working together and depending on each other through Christ amazing love!!! We serve an awesome God ,Let Him move you to not settle for a mediocre halfhearted Christian life . Read the Book of Acts and see how these men and women put it all on the line for Jesus they got it .


What is, therefore, our task today? Shall I answer: “Faith, hope and love”? That sounds beautiful. But I would say – courage. No, even that is not challenging enough to be the whole truth.

Our task today is recklessness.

For what we Christians lack is not psychology or literature…we lack a holy rage – the recklessness which comes from the knowledge of God and humanity.

The ability to rage when justice lies prostrate on the streets, and when the lie rages across the face of the earth…a holy anger about the things that are wrong in the world.

To rage against the ravaging of God’s earth, and the destruction of God’s world.

To rage when little children must die of hunger when the tables of the rich are sagging with food.

To rage at the senseless killing of so many,.

To rage at the lie that calls the threat of death and the strategy of destruction peace.

To rage against complacency. To restlessly seek that recklessness that will challenge and seek to change human history until it conforms to the norms of the Kingdom of God.

How beautiful it is to live for the cause of Christ!!!!!!!!!!

being true

So many times Ive seen people try to get ahead or elevate there standard of living or status and it just breaks my heart . I have been there done that and the feeling is that of emptieness and it totally gos against what His words say, our only standard that should be changing is the one with our savior as we fall more in love with Him and depend on Him more and more in our faith. Our relationship with Him is an invitation to what He has instore for our lives the more we fight the more time we waste. example Ive always valued my parents opinions on life and how to take care of and do certain things . they have showed me how to be a hard worker and to have a certain drive and ambition, and i am so gratefull for that .It is when God is speaking to me and i know what i should do and i think what would my parents think if i listened to what hes telling me or a certain friend or even me talking myself out of listening so that i am not inconvienenced . So being real what is it? to me it is following Jesus no matter the circumstance not faltering or giving into the temptation of friends or family and putting Him on the backburner ,Being real is truely loving this Awesome God over everything else and listening to Him so our relationship continues to grow. I would never want my children to feel that my opinion should ever outweigh that of Gods even if i dont see the whole picture if theyre following Him i just want to be a part of what He is doing thru them as I know my parents feel the same way. So with that said lets get out there and serve this Mighty Powerful God who is in control of everything we are invited to the party Hes always been there its up to us to show up and see what great things he has for us. Read Daniel chapter 4: 28-37 and see how this powerful man came to realize just how much he needed God to prosper not monetarlly but spiritualy and that is where we become rich when we realize it is all about our relationship with Christ and how it prospers and grows even through our trials.also Matthew 28:18-20 He has all authority

God has been so good next move is on Him

The last three months I have really enjoyed God has been moving into my still wreched heart ,but there is alot more room lately besides all my selfishness. I truely love Him so much and my relationship with Him. I really just want to thank Him for all the Godly people he has put in my life to help, live, love, and grow with. I hope to stay in contact with all of you and perhaps see again and serve with again.

lately I have been studying in the book of Malachi chapter 3 where it talks about tithes and offerings and I know it is a soar subject with some but thought of it in a different light when i was reading threw it the other day. Most think of the $$$ and think there fine if they put that in the basket sunday morn, but I think it gos much further than that Verse 9 says ye have Robbed Me yea that could be money but have you ever thought how we robb Him daily of His time and what He wants us to do with it when He is telling us to get out there and do His will, serving,helping ,talking,listening,ect,ect insted of our own selfishness when we take away from what could be in that storehouse thats mentioned in verse 10 it makes me sick to think what I took away by not trusting Him who gives us our very breath. So with that said I thank Him for helping to kill that selfishness daily and to make more room in my heart so that he can move on in and feel at home

Peru Peru Peru

Well its been Thee weeks since i got back from Peru and the things I learned from that trip and the impact it made on me will have an affect for a lifetime. from the comfortzones that were broken down, the people of Peru that we met, the things that we did by helping in any way we could . everyone working together for a common goal just to serve Christ! the Awesome people I met from VA. you guys were real ambassadors for Jesus . the Blue springs team you were also so amazing with the hard work and the competitive attitudes you were definatley an example to follow.But most of all it was what God was showing me through all these different parts of the trip and how he made His word come alive and His peace known to me . every part was orchestrated in only a way that He could have done it and I am so glad that I followed when He said you need to go. You know that calling when the Holy Spirit is tugging and saying its time to go lets go dont ignor it there is so many Blessings and he will make Himself so real to you. I just wonder how many time Ive came up with those excuses just to stay in my comfort zone and not step out of that Boat where I can see Him work and have that direction only He can give thank you Jesus !!!! again thanks to everyone that had a part of giving to this and making it truely one of the best experiences in my life . Hope to see ya all again real soon and Be Blessed !

Break up your fallow ground

I was reading tonight in Hosea and in chapter 10 verse 12 this really hit home what an awesome verse 12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. WOW we need to be righteous just in righteousness doing what he told us ,love kindness meekness temperance paitience showing His love to everybody whether you like em or not so much. It is so much easier to break up that fallow ground when we are consumed by His righteousness. We all have some fallow ground, He makes me want it to dissappear more everyday. I used to think I didnt have much righteouness and I didnt, till I let Him move into my heart now His righteousness is coming out more and more and I just want to Thank Him everyday for the change.

unhinged

The other day I was over at my brothers fixing a few more things at the house. There were three doors that needed a little little cut off the bottom with the new carpet and all, the doors were dragging a little so to get that done i needed to pop the pins on the hinges and pull the doors off and it got me thinking about the verse in the Bible were Jesus is talking about knocking on the door. Revelation 3:20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. This verse got me thinking about all the times he was knocking and wanted to come in and i would open it let Him in and not long after would just shove Him back out and shut the door. My relationship was just on my terms only and I started thinking about how He has become so much more in my life recently and how I have fallen so much more in love with Him that when i Unhinged those doors it was symbolic of how I dont want Him to have to knock I just want the open door policy with Him. Where I am in constant communication and relation with Him. The door is off unhinged i cant slam it in His face or keep Him out. In this community with Him I am safe and dont need a door He is all I need for my security and all I want. Thank you Jesus for unhinging the doors of my heart it is truely great to have you inside!

God is good

God is good it is just so amazing when you put your trust in Him to see all the amazing thing He dose. Lately i have been blown away at all the things He has gotten me and my family involved in .first i want thank him Him everyday for such a wonderful family and an a great church family . For being the youth director for the senior high it is so great i learn so much and i see so much growth, our youth group will be going on a mission trip to appalacia ky. in aug the place we will be going has only had electricty for 5 years its hard to believe that this kind of poverty is right in our backyard it will be an awesome time of growth for everyone.
I will be going on my first out of the country mission trip to Peru to Hannahs Hope orphanage to help build and to put on a summer bible school for the kids of that community i cant wait that will be in june. then Rachel will be gioing to Ecudor in Oct. to meet one of the kids that we sponsor Angels Cocha Paca.
Alot of this has to do with a great ministry that has been involved in this area for awhile Child Reach Ministries . They start and help out orphanages in different places Peru, Ecudor ,Tanzania,Hatti,Appalacia and many more.if you or a groupwould like to go on one of there trips or help in any way check out there web site www.childreachministries.org
Well like i said God has truely blessed and He wants to show Himself especially when things look impossible keep the faith.
