FALL FOR JESUS
part 4

HIM FIRST - THE REST WILL BE ADDED!

MATTHEW 6:33
Seek you first the kingdom of GOD, and all these things shall be added unto you!

The world around is vying for our attention - advertisements are pushed on us left and right - music is played to change our mood - we are always being bombarded by outside influences - many things vie for our time and our attention - what will win out? God's Word says to seek HIS kingdom and everything else will be added to you - but we often fail to do that in the course of the day - oh I don't believe we do it on purpose - we just lose focus - we don't continually fall for JESUS! We don't always put HIS kingdom first - but we put ourselves first - that is human nature - if we are going to serve JESUS we have to die to self - it's not optional - when you fall for JESUS you do just that - you leave all else behind and follow- no matter how unpopular - no matter how painful - there has been too much softening of the gospel - it's tough - the world does not want to follow CHRIST and they will fight you tooth and nail - it's an all out war - what side do you stand on? Many want to preach a gospel that is full of lace - well the truth is the gospel is tough - it's hard for a dying and sinful world to realize they need JESUS until we tell them - well better yet - we need to show them with our lives - that will speak the loudest! Have you really fallen for JESUS? If not HE is waiting for you - won't you take HIM at HIS word today?
He loves you He came from heaven to earth to save you - He died on the cross to pay your sin debt - it's been finished by JESUS - why keep trying to do it on your own? JESUS paid the price in full - that's what it means to fall for JESUS - giving all the rest up and putting HIM first - seek HIS kingdom and everything else will be added to you! Fall for JESUS! HE is waiting for you to take the dive! Come on in the water will cleanse your very soul!

WORD TO THE WISE:
IF WE WOULD PUT JESUS FIRST - WE WILL BE FULFILLED!

BECAUSE OF
CHRIST
ALL WE NEED HAS BEEN ALREADY GIVEN TO US!

PUT JESUS FIRST AND ALL THE REST WILL FOLLOW!

ONLY ONE IS TRUE

ROMANS 3:4a
Let GOD be true, and every man a liar.

This verse seems harsh - but it's true - GOD is true - that is always true - for HE cannot lie - HE is the only one who won't ever lie to you - but man will - we all have lied - and if you say you have not - you are a lair right then and there - and it's not me saying that - it's God! We can trust GOD for He never changes - when you fall for JESUS - you will find a friend that is closer then any one else - one that will never ever leave you - nor forsake you - but when you fall - you must let HIM catch you - it's like a child and a parent - the child must trust the parent enough to fall back and know they will catch them - I remember as a child going to the pool - I would jump into my Dad's arms - I would not jump if I didn't see him - only when He was near would I jump and even them I had to keep calling out to him for the asurance that He would catch me - GOD will catch us - HE loves us so much - He made us and then made a way for us through His Son Jesus! Fall for JESUS - as you see the leaves fall from the trees and the colors of autumn - it should remind us that while the leaves fall now - the hope of spring is there - the buds for tomorrow are already formed in hopes of Spring - you know the trees could be faithless and not put out those buds and just wait and see what the weather will be like - they don't do that - they prepare in advance - I mean it's not even winter yet - yet the buds are there -and one day they will open and the whole cycle will begin again -the same goes for us - we must prepare for tomorrow and one way of doing that is falling for JESUS - allow HIM to be your all in all - your very life -fall for JESUS and you will stand forever with HIM!
Spring is coming beloved - even if winter is not yet here!

WORD TO THE WISE:
Tomorrow is not yet here - yesterday is gone -
what we have is today! Fall for JESUS today!

BECAUSE OF
CHRIST
WE FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD!

A FATHER'S LOVE

PSALM 103:13
He is like a Father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence Him!

How many of us can say we had a close relationship with our fathers? The role of a Father is a very important one - while Mothers birth the children and nurture them - without a Father -a child is incompete - this is not a slam toward single parents - but the truth is God's plan for child rearing is the best plan - in a perfect world all children would have a mom and a dad living at home - but we don't live in a perfect world- many are now born out of wedlock - many to teen parents were are not equiped to care for them - all this shows the effects of sin and doing things our way instead of God's way - God is the Father to the father-less - and it's a good thing too - these days when so many marriages end in divorce and people are so consumed with themselves that they don't give their children what they need - its hard to see so many children short changed - not having two parents - now I will say I have seen some parents who have regretabley gone through divorce and still maintain as normal as possiable family life - with GOD all thing are possiable - today's devotional is about falling for JESUS in the way that JESUS wants to love us like a Father - we all need the Father's love - for without it we all would writher up and die - fall for JESUS because of HIS great love for the children of the world - once you fall for JESUS you will have all you need!

NEVER THIRST - THE FLOOD OF JESUS!

JOHN 4:14
For whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water I give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life!

The woman at the well had no idea her life would be changing just by going to get some water! She fell for JESUS! This series is about common people who found JESUS and fell for HIM and their lives were never the same - The lady at the well lived a life without JESUS and she never knew it - she really didn't know she was missing JESUS that fateful day - she had to get a common every day need fullfilled and what she ended up with was a fullfilling life with CHRIST at the center -she was living a life of faithlessness - instead of faithfulness - JESUS met her right where she was - and she was never ever the same - the main problem is people have no idea they really need JESUS - they know they need something and they go around trying many things to fill the void but nothing works- it's still a big empty space inside that nothing in this world can fill - it's a space reserved for JESUS!
We all need HIS living water in our lives - without it we thrist - we are needy - groping in the dark for something to bring us what only the light of JESUS can bring us -
FALL FOR JESUS - have you fallen for JESUS? If not today you can fall for HIM - your life can change today forever! Just trust JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR - if you have questions - HE has answers - you can always email me and I would love to explain what it means to know CHRIST and live in HIM and have a life different from the world around us!FALL FOR JESUS - and you will never thirst again!

WORD TO THE WISE:
ONCE YOU FALL FOR JESUS - YOU WON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE! HE IS ALL WE NEED!

CHRIST
WE GET THE WATER THAT NEVER LEAVES US DRY!

Fully Clothed
Colossians 3:12
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness & patience!

I bet that today's headline got some attention - it made you want to look inside the email to see what this one was all about - it's about being fully clothed - it's about being ready to serve the LORD each and every moment of every day - it means being complete in Christ and allowing HIM to live through - I admit often I don't let Jesus rule my life - I rule it - I want my way on my terms - this makes it difficult for JESUS to shine through our lives - we must be willing to step aside and allow JESUS to redress us - often we put on the clothes of pride - of hate - of anger - of selfishness - we must allow JESUS to strip those away and allow HIM to put on the new garments of Praise - of Love - of Joy - of Peace - of Longsuffering -those are the clothes we must be redressed in - with Thanksgiving coming and Christmas on the horizon - this is the time of the year when people start to get it - too bad they put it away again by January when it's needed the most - Let's allow GOD to dress us each day - HE knows what it is best for us to ware - HE made us! What kind of clothes are you waring today? If they are not the garments from JESUS - then they are not good enough! Without HIS garments - we could only bring death - but because of JESUS we have life! Get dressed - fully dressed today!

WORD TO THE WISE:
IS IT TIME TO CHANGE OUR CLOTHES? THE CLOTHES OF EARTH FOR THOSE OF HEAVEN!?

Turn Around
Matthew 5:39
Resite not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

These words of Jesus are very tough for us to understand - as human beings it's not natural for us to allow ourselves to be mistreated - we have been taught to stand up for oursleves - not to take any flack from others and right here our Lord says - to turn the other cheek! What!? We cannot do this in our power and it's all about love like yesterday's devotional said - we are to always be about love - but how far do we take it? Are we willing to allow someone we disagree with to have our forgiveness - afterall we don't deserve to be forgiven ourselves - we have an odd calling in Christ to be unlike the world around us - while the world puts self on the throne - we have been called to keep CHRIST there - it's HIS throne not ours - We belong to HIM not the other way around - often we make HIM what we want HIM to be - instead of who HE really - the scary thing about this how much do we really know GOD? We have been taught many things and some of it is not correct - but because of history - or tradition of man -we have accepted it as truth - without finding the truth from JESUS - one thing we cannot get pass is God's calling for us in Christ Jesus to love the lost and dying around us - when did it get to the us vs them mentality - Christ was never like that - HE loved all - we are called to do the same - believe me it won't be easy at all - Following Christ means we must come to that place in our lives when we are willing to die to self completey and allow GOD to totally rule our lives - I know I am not yet there but there has been days I have been really close - not to brag since it's not in my own power but in the power of Christ who lives in me and through me! - but those days are far and inbetween and the more we walk with Christ the more those days of complete surrender and submission we will have!

WORD TO THE WISE:
If someone wrongs you - JESUS says respond in love -offer them whatever they have not harmed - and even if they go ahead and harm that -GOD will be pleased with you!

BECAUSE OF
CHRIST
we can love the unloveable!

Love For Others

PHILIPPIANS 1:9
My prayer for you is that you will overflow more
and more with love for others.

When we say we love GOD - we must show it by loving others - and doing this is tough at times- because we seem to always find people who are not very lovable - we ourselves are not loveable all the time either- but the WORD says what does it profit to love those who love you back -the love GOD has for us is diffrent then the love we have for HIM and others - it should not be this way! We should love GOD with all we have - and in doing so we will love others - if you are not interested in loving others - maybe you need to check to see if you love GOD and know HIM through JESUS! We must be able to love the most unloveble if Christ in fact lives in us - He wants to love others through us - He wants us to love others as HIS hands and feet - we do this when we love - loving is not easy often but it's worth it - we must love others if we love GOD - it's part of the deal! Loving others should be something we just do - not something we have to think about - loving others should come naturally if we are loving GOD! God made everyone you will run into today - they are all HIS children -rather they know it or not - my heart was broken tonight when I went to send this out and I got en email from a girl who was walked away from JESUS - I felt lead to contiune to send this to her daily - but she wrote me today and told me it was a waste of time to send these to her - out of love I was sending them - but since she ways she does not want them - out of love I had to quit sending these to her - that may seem counter productive but GOD is in control - HE is going after the lost among us - those lost need to be loved by us who are found - it's not an us vs them thing - we are all in need of JESUS - everyone we come in contact today needs the love of JESUS - are we loving GOD by loving others? If not - pray about it - GOD will bring you people to love - all you have to do is ask! The rest will come naturally out of our relationship with JESUS!

WORD TO THE WISE:
OUR LOVE FOR GOD IS SHOWN IN OUR LOVE FOR OTHERS!

CHRIST

Young not Little

1st Timothy 4:12b
Don't let anyone to think little of you because you are young. Be thier ideal; let them follow the way you teach and live!

As one who works with kids at my church - I am one of the first to admit I have learned way more from them then they have learned from me - and yet this segment of the church is often ingnored - after all they are not a part of the big church - where the important stuff happens - right? Wrong! They are the church of tomorrow - they are the future of God's ordained Bride! We are to show them what we know more then telling them what we know! They learn by be shown! Let no one look down on you because of your youth - the youth matter -they are living example of Christ - I have seen much love between members in a youth group - sure they dress funny and listen to funny music- but didn't we when we were their age? They are our leaders of the church of tomorrow - They are young - but not little - they do matter and we must listen to what they say - God's word says that out of the mouth of babes wisdom will be given - let's not look down on a young person just because they don't have it all together yet - none of us have arrived - I guess I have seen so many kids afraid to say anything for fear of being wrong - is that the atmosphere we want in God's house? I think not - we must listen to them - and validate what they say - I have learned so much from the kids I teach weekly - I have seen JESUS with feet in these classes - I have seen the love between the children - yes they fight and fued a lot - but so do we - remember to listen to the young around you - they just might teach us a thing or two!
The youth have taught me much! Daniel

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS YOUNG - DOES NOT MEAN GOD CANNOT USE THEM!

Walk

EPHESIANS 2:10
For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD has prepared in advance, that we should walk in them!


I have heard it said that God don't make junk! And since HE made us - it goes to reason that none of us is worthless - we are worth such a high price to God, He willingly gave up HIS one and Only Son to save our souls from hell! God created us all for a purpose - all of our lives have meaning or at least they should - we were made to glorify GOD with our lives - the question is what are we doing with lives to get that acomplished? it will look different for each of us - but whatever it is GOD has a plan for your life - you can count on it - so what is our job? Walk with GOD with your very life - give HIM all you got - that's it basically - I don't come to you today with persasive words - I come to you with a simple message - if you want to know God's purpose for you life - simply follow HIM and walk the way HE walks! He will show you how if you just put your total trust in HIM and none in yourself - one of the greatest problems in the church today is people depending on theirsleves and others instead of GOD - now don't get me wrong - we are to be HIS hands and feet but others can only do so much - and we alone cannot do anything - GOD says apart from HIM we can do nothing! (John 15:5) We must be willing to admit we cannot do it on our own - my message for you today is this - Walk with GOD - that's it - just walk with GOD - follow HIM not people - I am learning this the hard way - people will let you down -people where not made to worship only JESUS was - if this message steps on some toes - good! That's the purpose! Praise the name of the ONE who died for us and gave us life -HE is the one we find our purpose in and no one else!!!!!

More Then Conquerors

ROMANS 8:37
In all things we are more then conquerors through HIM that loves us!


If I could take a pole right now - how many of you would say you feel weak right now? Do you feel like you have what CHRIST has given you? Or do you feel like you have nothing more to give? I heard it said by a friend today that they no longer want just enough - they want more then enough - they want all that GOD has for them - not for selfish reasons but to help others - what's our attiude like? Do we understand and seek after GOD and HIS strength or do we try to pull ourselves up by our bootstaps and do it ourselves? We must come to a point where we see that we need GOD and we cannot do anything apart from HIM - with that said - in CHRIST we are more then conquerors! We have the victory now one for us on Calvary by Jesus our Lord - we have that now because HE died for us - in our place - as sin - HE never once commited - we have this victory now over the grave - over hell and over the grave - with this victory won for us - we can do all things through CHRIST! We are a powerful nation - we have been equipped by GOD to do good works! HE has made us this way for a purpose -we must know our place in the Church - God will show us if we ask HIM! We must be about HIS business and HE will take care of our business! We are more then conquerors - notice how GOD says more then conquerors - in HIM we are MORE then conquerors - that is how sure our victory in CHRIST is!!
Celebrate this victory today with a life sold out to GOD through JESUS - allow HIS life to be reflected in yours -
that's what we are here for - to bring glory to GOD so others will know HIM like we know HIM!
We are victorious - lets go out and live this promise!

Unmoveable

1st Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethern,
be you steadfast; unmovable!


Our faith should be unmovable - when times get hard -we should run into the arms of JESUS and no where else- there is no where else to go! Do we allow circumstances - people - problems- health issues - or anything else get in the way of our faith in JESUS? Do we all the world to mold us instead of JESUS? if we do - then our life won't be all it can be in JESUS! HE wants our lives to be a reflection of Him - often times we compermise our faith in order to go by the world's rules - no more should we do this - I admit here often I have allowed people to rule over me instead of JESUS - this should not be so - it must end now! We must be unmoveble - unwavering in our faith - nothing can take us away from JESUS unless we all it to take us away - satan has no power over us - but we give him the power to take us away from our first love JESUS - I have seen some lives that once were sold out to JESUS to now only seem like a small glow of a light that used to burn brightly for JESUS - I say a glow because I believe once you are saved - you are saved - no matter what - if you truely know JESUS you are born again and nothing can undo that! With that said - if you know someone who was really saved and now is walking in a way that is without faith - there will still be a glow of JESUS in their lives - the light won't go out completely - and there is always hope - we got to stand up strong for our weaker brothers and sisters in Christ - we must be the example for them to see JESUS alive in us! We must be unmovable - and if we happen to move away from JESUS we must repent and go right back to HIM - one issue we all face is guilt - feeling like we cannot even approach JESUS - it's true we are sinners and don't deseve anything - but yet JESUS gaves us everything we will ever need!be unmovable in your faith - and you will move mountains!

FRUIT
GALATIANS 5:22a
But the fruit of the Spirit is...Patience


I will beginning a new series soon -
FALL FOR JESUS - be in prayer for this series!
Thanks!

Today's verse talks about fruit - God expects His children to produce good fruit - and He has the right to inspect the fruit we produce because after all He created us for good works! Today I want to look at one aspect of the Holy Fruit we are to produce - today's focus is patience - I guess you have heard the joke about never asking for patiences because GOD will allow some things to come into your life to show you if you are patient or not! :-) When we accept CHRIST as our Lord and Savior - we get all of HIS SPIRIT - and with HIS MIGHTY SPIRIT - we get all the things that will help us produce the righteous fruit HE is looking for - this included patience! Yeah I am the first to admit at times I don't use what I got! I get in a rush and get to the point of not relying on GOD and just wanting to be some where very quickly - I have all the patience I need in CHRIST but must choose to live in it! JESUS wants our fruit to bring HIS FATHER GLORY! God made us to bring HIMSELF glory - not that HE needs us - HE wants us! Allow to GOD to give you all that is HIS! HE has offered it to us all - we just got to accept HIM and HIS word and allow HIS SPIRIT to live in and through us!

With God's Spirit living in us - we cannot help but produce good fruit - fruit that brings God praise!

More Then Words
1st JOHN 3:18
Let us not love in word or speech
but in deed and in truth!

Often times we can say a great many things - we can proclaim the truth - we can praise GOD - we can love others with our mouths - but at the end of the day - do we do more?
Do we put action to our words? Or are our words empty! Jesus calls us to love others with more then words - it's easy to bless someone by saying something good to them - but putting action to those words is far better - many times I have seen the poor and the needy come to me with a need - I have to admit there have been times I have turned them down - not because I didn't have the money but because I didn't want to be bothered - I admit it - and I know it was wrong - I did bless them with words but not with action - now this is not to say this should be a legalisic thing - there will be times when the only thing we can do is speak the words of JESUS to someone in need - but again there will be times when we are able to do more then speak words - those are the times we need action behind our words - believe it or not the world around us is checking us out - when we proclaim we know JESUS they want to see what it's all about - they want to see a difference between us and the world - they also check out our words and our actions checking to see if they match - there have been times I did more then speak words and it was such a blessing - We need more then words to love like JESUS! How is your life compare to your words? Think about that today!

Fathers

Psalm 127:4-5

Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows to defend him. Happy is the man who has his qiver full of them.

It takes a special kind of man to be a Father - anyone who is able can father a child - but not everyone can be a Father -
But those who are Fathers by this diffintion are truly blessed! Being a father is more then just having a child - it takes commitment - it takes a life-long love - it take a lot of faith and it take mentoring - many before you have had children and they can tell you a thing or two about it - I want to have children - but that may not be God's plan for me - I love this verse about how children can be a weapon to protect the Father - never thought of it that way - what makes a Father? A Father is someone who loves with all he has- a father is one who puts his needs behind those of others - a Father is one to do without while his children do with - it's about giving your all for the sake of these children - even Sunday school teachers play a roll - I should know - I got to attend a birthday party for my best buddy - Micah - he is 8 years old soon to be 9 - in any rate I have gotten to become really close to this young man - it's been a blessing - I can begin to see a little about what it means to be Father in that - being a Father means that you do what you have to do for your family - for your children - you can have many children but without JESUS in the center it won't make a world of difference -
Being a Father is a tough job but it's very rewarding - maybe you are about to become a Dad for the first time -maybe you are worried about what kind of exampl you will set with your children -good - that's the way to be - we must show them our Love and not just tell them we love them - we must show it - a Father is one who not only speaks love but shows it!
To the Fathers out there - be blessed - what you have is a blessing - children are a blessing from God! Love them like that! God bless you Fathers!

GOD is our FATHER - the FATHER of the fatherless!

HOSEA 1:10
You are the sons of the living GOD!

Sometimes it's easy to forget who we are - more important than that is Whos we are! We often forget in our day to day lives that we are children of the King! We are royality in HIM!
He has given us preicous promises - He said He is buidling each of us a manison in heaven! He has given us HIS grace and HIS SON- withholding nothing from us- Remember the story of the prodeigal son? The Father (GOD) was waiting for His son's return - the same thing goes for us - many of us may feel very far from God - maybe you have gone down a road you didn't mean to go down - maybe you are far from your Father GOD - maybe you feel there is no way back!I have good news for you today - turn around - walk no run to your Father and you will see a GOD who wants to embrace you - He does not want to harm you - HE loves you like no one else - whereever you are - just turn around and run back to HIM! Today you can be restored with your Father - today your life can change - there is no shame in JESUS - He does not want to condemn you - He loves you - believe or not - He loves you more then anything else in all creation - God made it all - but we are special - He made us diffrent then anything else- only we can have a personal realtionship with - nothing else is all creation can - today you can be a child of the King - just turn from your sin and run to GOD - He is waiting for you!

Now One

Ephesians 5:28
For since a man and his wife are now one, a man is really doing himself a favor and loving himself when he loves his wife!

Marriage is God's institution - HE created it to form the family and to GOD once a man and woman are married they are now one - physically - mentally - spiritual - they are one - and GOD says let no one separate them! Why then do Christ followers have the same divorce rate as the lost world around us? this should not be so - we should be the example -
and I understand what it's like to lose that bond - how that once it's over it tares two people apart who are ONE - this should not be so - many marriages right now are in serious trouble - temptations abound - men not loving their wives like Christ loved the church and wives not willing to submit to their husbands - you have two different people become one - that's tough - we are not the same , men and women - we look at life in a totally different way - God made us the way HE did for HIS purpose - God's plan for marriage works - the worlds does not - now after salvation we are still human and I know now there were many things I lacked in my marriage that I had no idea about at the time - I have learned so much through the trial of divorce - and there is life after divorce as well - I never thought it would happen to me - but it did - and I am now here to help those who struggle as well - it has been the single hardest thing to ever happen to me - my ex wife is now walking a road that is away from God and that breaks my heart - please pray for her - thank you - God has a plan for marriage and it's the best plan - God never intended for a man and women to get married and then divorce that is not HIS plan at all - with that however let me say that if you are in an abusive marriage - you should get away from your mate ASAP and even separation in such a case is ok with GOD - what i have heard some say that you should stay with such a person - I don't think God expects anyone too - He knows each circumstance - the bottom line is GOD has made those who marry one - and this oneness makes for a good marriage - the main problem is after a couple of years - the feelings seem to get less and less - all those fun times you had during the courting and dating start to lesson - you have gotten the girl - and the girl now has a husband - now what!?

GOD HAS CALLED THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVES HIS PEOPLE!

MARRIAGE IS IN TROUBLE - take a moment and pray for those you know who are married!

Look To Jesus

HEBREWS 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on JESUS!

The WORD of GOD tells us to fix our eyes on JESUS!
We must look to HIM for everything - remember Peter on the lake? As long as he kept his eyes fixed on JESUS he was staying on the water - but one glance to the left or to the right and Peter began to sink - he cries out for JESUS to save HIM and HE does - this is a message for all of us who claim to know CHRIST - when we are first saved our eyes never seem to leave HIM but it seems the longer we walk with HIM to easier it is to try and walk the water on our own - we cannot do it apart from JESUS and HE has never asked us to - HE has told us in HIS word HE would never leave us or forsake us - He said He would meet our needs - He said in HIM we will have like and abundant life at that! Where we focus our eyes determines the direction our lives are gonna take - focus on self and you will become selfish - focus on others and GOD will use you for HIS purpose - focus on GOD and other - you fulfill the law! Our focus must be solely on JESUS - I know this is hard for there many other things for eyes to gaze on - not that those things are wrong in and of themselves - but what is wrong when they become our MAIN focus - if anything takes the place of JESUS in our lives -it's nothing more then an idol - I have had to learn the hard way that I have idols in my life but praise GOD, Jesus is losing my grip on them - I have gone though a season of heartbreak - a season of trying to find my path through this life - I have questioned my faith - I have wondered why GOD allowed so much pain in my life -the simple answer is because He loves me - because HE knows best - I had made some choices that were not the best ones I am learning now - I have learned so much during this time of learning - the best thing I learned is JESUS is faithful no matter what - I tried to run from HIM but as a Shepherd does with his sheep - He scooped me up and put me on level ground - where my eyes can now see HIM more clearly - where are your eyes looking - what are you viewing? Are you seeing JESUS through the eyes of faith or the eyes of doubt? Keep your eyes fixed on the SON! And you will shine!
Shine JESUS shine in me!.......Daniel

WHEN YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS - YOU SEE CLEARLY

Pray Like Breathing

1st Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing!

I was listening to a song as I found today's verse - the song was called Pray like Breathing - the singer made a good point that our prayer life should be as natural as breathing is - we should come to a place where we don't even have to think about praying - it's that we just do it - no matter what - we have a quiet time with God every day - not in a legalisic way - but in the way of love - we are to pray like breathing! We are to give our all to GOD when we go to our knees - we never stand taller with GOD then when we bow on our knees before the King of King - I read a devotional that talked about dwelling in the shaow of JESUS all the time - spending our lives in constant communcation with GOD through JESUS!
We are called to the Throne Room but how often to we actually go there -sometimes we get busy with life -busy with trying to please people all the while leaving God out of the equation called our lives - we must give GOD praise in our prayers - we must lift up the name of JESUS and pray beliving that GOD does answer prayer - He is still on HIS thorne and has never moved not even once - HE is faith so go to HIM in prayer - go to your prayer closet and seek out GOD not for attention from others but to have a personal and intimate encounter with GOD! Pray like breathing!
Yours in Prayer.......Daniel

Love Is
1st Corinthians 13:5a
Love does not demand it's own way.
It is not irritable or touchy.

There is a popular comic in most newspapers - it's called Love Is - in it there are little snippets of love - a boy and girl share love with each other and each day a new Love Is appears - What does GOD say about love? He says that love does not demand it's own way - how many times have we demanded someone form someone? Love is not irritable or touchy - boy -how many times have we gotten very upset with those we love - love is not easy - but it's the best - often the people we love we often don't like - and God knew that would be how love would be - how is your love? Have you been loving today? or is today one of those days you wanted to just stay in bed and let the world go by!? In any case real biblical love is love that always brings glory to God and always seeks the best for the other person - it's about putting their needs ahead of your own - when this happens - love works well - anything less is not really love - love does not cause any harm to another person - love is what lead GOD to send HIS Son and it should be love that motivates us to do what GOD calls us to do - Love is patient and kind - but often in our course of life we can become any thing but patient and kind - when we have a bad day - it's hard to love - but love is what we must do - we must love others and GOD - and we will fulfill the whole law - believe me you cannot love others apart from God's love - His love motivates us to even love those who wish us harm - let's die to self and live for GOD!
Love is the most amazing thing - but can also but one of the toughest things to do - but do it anyway! Love is amazing! Love is Great - Love is wonderful -
Love you all in JESUS!Daniel

Happy?

PSALM 144:15
Happy is that people whose God is the Lord!


Are you happy? Can you really say that you are happy? True happiness comes from knowing JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR! That's were joy comes from! When He is our love our lives are different from those around us - we can have joy no matter the circumstances if we know the ONE who is in control of it all - when you trust JESUS - you don't have to worry about what is gonna happen to you - GOD will take care of those details -our job is to just trust HIM no matter what! Many times we will only trust HIM When things go our way - that is not faith at all - that is seeing and believing - we cannot believe based on what we see -what we hear - or waht we know intellecturally - it's who we know!
If you don't have a personal relationship with Christ you won't ever find true happiness - God will not allow it!
We must surrender all to JESUS in order to be free from the entanglements of this world! This place is however passing by - it will soon be good and all we will have is our faith - faith that brings us life - love and joy! Are you trusting in anything other then Christ for true happiness - for many happiness is the next gadget to occupy their time - the new wife to replace the old one that things didn't work out wiht -
the new job to replace the one with all the problems- soon to find the new one has different problems but problems none the less - you will never be satisifed with this world - it's not our home - JESUS wants us to long for HIM - HE loves us with a love we cannot understand - if you want to be happy trust in JESUS - HE will be with you always!

Personally Blessed

PSALM 115:14-15
May the LORD richly bless both you and your children. Yes, Jehovah who made heaven and earth will personally bless you!

Today's verse reminds us that we serve a personal God - He is not some higher power that we cannot personally connect to - HE is personal - HE knows us by relationship - HE made us for relationship between HIMSELF and us - and others - God made us this way to need inneraction with others -
God made us to personally know HIM! And because of this HE can personally bless us - HE is not some unknowable force that we cannot relate too - no! HE showed us in HIS SON Just who HE is! Jesus showed us who GOD is! You can know HIM today right now in a personal way - HE is our personal savior - He saves each one of us personally - you can have a real realtionship today with the GOD of all creation - just ask HIM for it -He wants to know you personally - He wants a relationship with you - though our sin seperated us from HIM - HIS Son brought us back to the point of having a real lasting relationship with GOD Himself - Do you want to be personally blessed? Know GOD personally! He is waiting for you to act!
HE has already made a way where there was no way before!

Lifespan
PSALM 89:47a & 48a
Oh, remember how short you have made man's lifespan. No man can live forever..


Today's verse is another reminder that this is not our home, not that some of us need any reminder - many of us may have some physical aliements - that remind us this is not our home! That our life here is short and our bodies are passing away even now! The good news is our home is yet to come - the bad news is we must contiune on here until God calls us home -which is not a bad thing at all - God has given us this life as a gift - this is a trial run for eternity - we are all going to leave this world one day - and it won't be long says the writer of psalms 89 - At one time people lived a lot longer - but pollution and other factors limit our lives - but there is something more imporant in this - God determines the length of our days! He knows when He is calling us home - often we seem to act like we have all the time in the world and that death is just for others and not us - but the truth is we all have to face death sooner then later - last year I lost my dad and it was tough - he lived a nice long life - leaving this world at age 75 - he filled those 75 years with a lot of things! He lived out his dash well - do you know about the dash? it's not the birthdate and day of departure that are important - it's the dash that is in between those two dates? what are you doing with your dash?

Keep Our Lips
PSALM 141:3
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips!

This past Sunday our pastor talked about the power of the tongue - how all it takes is a word to harm someone very badly - our mouths are the door way to what's in our heart - what we say - says a lot more about us then we might thing - Often in today's society you will hear things you didn't used to hear - you cannot watch a sitcom without hearing at least one word that we would not want our children to hear - or would we feel comfortable if our pastor would walk in during such a show - my purpose today is not to slam anyone for we all are guilty - but what's the answer? I believe it is found in today's verse- let's ask GOD to guard our lips! HE will do that because He loves us - and He knows it's not what goes into a man that defiles him - it's what comes out - and what is buried deep in our hearts will enviably come out - trying to erase the damage of words is very tough - words can end relationships and start wars - words can break up dear friendships and cause people to lose their family - words have the power to save and condemn - have you thought about what your words are saying! I was convicted when the subject of GOSIP came up - I was at first like this - surely I don't GOSIP - but the more I thought about it I sadly found it to be true - but I confessed and moved on - asking GOD to guard my lips - He is all we need to have control over our mouths - but we must give them over to HIM - allowing HIM to change our hearts thereby change our speech!

GOD MADE
GENESIS 1:27
GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD, He created him.

A song by the group NewSong is called "God made man" in this song it talks about walking the faithful walk with our Father God - it takes of HIS great love for HIS creation - we must remember HE made us - and HE made us in HIS imagie - we must remember this when dealing with others - we must love them because we all were created in God's image - we where wonderfully and fearly made says God's word! God made man because HE wanted to show us HIS great love - you know HE could have just decided to not make us - after all HE knew what we would do before HE made us! One of the greatest problems in today's society is that human life is not as preious as it once was - it seems the price of a human being has gone way down - look at the lack of respect children have for their parents, employee's for their their employees and many see an unborn baby as just a choice- not the life GOD put in there - GOD formed us in our mother's womb - we are made by GOD and HIS fingerprints are all over creation -we are GOD made - HE is the creator and we are HIS creation - let's worship this GOD who choise to make us - let's worship HIM as the GOD HE is - we are GOD made!

1st JOHN 4:7a
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of GOD!

It's been said that GOD is love! It's also been said that the message of the gospel is all about love! We are called to love each other! Jesus said that we would show this lost and dying world the truth by our love - our love will declare that we love JESUS - without love - life would be without meaning - we would have no reason to get up in the morning - I am learning a lot about love lately - God has called me to Children's ministry - and I have not experanced such love as I have working with these kids - they are watching and seeing if what I say and what I do match - that is a challange but one that GOD has equipped us to - I have gotten more hugs and more smiles when I have ever! Love is what keeps this world going round and round - Love is what brought JESUS from the throne room to earth and back! Love is what motivated GOD to create it all in the first place - HE loves us with HIS very best - HE gave us HIS Son - He gave us life - all for love - the Word says that we can do many things - but without love it's all worthless - Love should be our motivation - love for GOD and love for others - we are called to love one another - yesterday in church I learned about the tougnue and how it cannot be tamed - and in it are the power of life and death- are we being loving with our toungue and our lives? We must be all about love! Lets love one another so that the world will see the diffrence in our lives so we way bring GOD glory! Love one another and there by love GOD!

Often we rush around all day never even enjoying one minute - we often have deadlines looming and we must meet all the expections we have for each day - many of us work very hard each day - and get home with nothing left in the tank - many of us use all we have at work and have nothing left for GOD or for others - we must take the time to mediate - to slow down - to take in God's word and learn from HIM - we need to be like Mary and less like Martha - let's choice the better thing - resting at the feet of our dear Savior!

WITH ALL

LUKE 10:27
Love the LORD your GOD, love HIM with all your heart, all your soul, all you strength, and your mind...and love your neighbor as your love yourself.


In Today's verse God does not throw any puches that miss - He gets right to the point - HE wants you to love HIM and other with all you got! With ALL you have! HE alone is worthy of all praise and love from us - HE alone is our Savior - HE alone came down from heaven to save our sin-sick souls. He alone is worthy of praise and honor with our lives- God demands that we love HIM with all we have! HE can demand that because HE is GOD! With that same sentiment GOD says we are to love our neighbors as well - we are to love those whom GOD puts in our lives - now we may not like them at times but we are called to love them with our all! Loving others is not easy - if you are in the work place you will find out quickly that there is lack of communcation and lack love in the business world - many are just there to get ahead - they don't care about you - but GOD didn't tell us to only love thoser around us that deserve love - but those who don't! We are to love the unloveable - but the point being is that we cannot do that apart from GOD! The world is watching us and it should know us by our love - our love for other and our love for GOD! Let's love HIM with all we have! Love like JESUS and the world will follow HIM!

If you belong to the LORD you will be well taken care of - that's a promise - now that does not mean you won't have a want or two that you don't have fullfilled but all your needs will be met! God has made this promise to us if we would follow HIM, He would take care of us! We just need to trust HIM - He wants to hold each of us close to HIM - we are HIS children and as such HE will protect us - now this does not mean when we go out and do something that He tells us not to do that HE will be ok with us not obeying HIM - but HE has given HIS SON for us! He said I will give up my SON for you - and HE did just that and JESUS did as the Father commanded HIM and laid down HIS life for us! He not only told us HE would take care of us - HE showed us in HIS Son! He wants to hold us close because HE knows how evil and so far against Him this world is and HE wants us to be in HIS protective grip - sadly we sometimes go outside of what HE has commanded us to do and we have to suffer the consquences of our actions - but the good news is that it's only here - it's not forever - one day soon we will go home and be with our Savior forever - this is just a dress resherasl of the real deal - our Home is coming soon!

In this world you will have trouble warned Jesus many times - He knew we would have problems and trials and HE knew how hard it would be to make it in this world- that's why He comforts us with a comfort that is every lasting - not like the tempary pleasure of the here and now- this world is passing away and this is not our home - we will never find complete joy and contentment here -we were designed to live forever but since the fall man has been longing to have a relationship with GOD! but sadly instead of persuing God man has persured himself and has rejected the comfort that JESUS offers - they reject the truth for a lie - they go after whatever temporal comfort this world brings instead of JESUS - man has begun to love the creation more then the Creator - these things should not be so - we must trust in the ONE who paid for our sins on an old rugged cross! The world is passing by and it can often be easy to get caught up in pride and lose the fact that we need JESUS and HIS comfort - life is tough - do you know the ONE who can bring you comfort even in the greatest storm of your life!?

What list of boxes do I need to check to be right with GOD! How much is enough - how much can I get by without doing? This is the worlds idea of freedom!
but JESUS gives the soul just want it needs - salvation - salvation is our greatest need - we can have all our earthly needs meet and not have salvation and in the end we will miss it all - this life is not easy - there will be times of pain - times of misunderstanind - and times when it seems like this world has it's chains on you - but JESUS wants you to live a life of freedom - after all HE paid for it - trust in HIM and allow HIM to change you from the inside out - allow the Holy Spirit to take control of your life and change you forever -allow God to make you a new creation - it can start for you today! If you want to be free, trust in the SON - the ONE who paid the ulitmate price for you - that's how much you are worth to God - never allow another person to take you away from JESUS - they may seem really good for you - but God knows better - you may lose out in the earthly but you will gain much more in the heavely - this world is passing by!

He is my guide - He is the one I want to follow - sadly our flesh does not want to follow GOD - our flesh is just death - our flesh will not make it into eternity for GOD is giving us all a new body - a perfect body - if GOD is not your guide then who is? If we don't follow GOD the only other option is following the enemy - and he hates us - he will lie to you - he will cheat you - he will lead you astray - don't follow after him - follow after JESUS - allow HIM to guide your life - HE will guide you every day if you allow HIM too - HE loves you so much - why not trust in HIM today - today may be the best day of your life - today may be the day that it all changes - today could be the start of something wonderful - don't let this day go before you look at your life and see who is guiding it - we have a free will to follow after GOD or not - HE has given us all a choice -what is yours today?

He made those things deep in the ocean no man will ever see - HE also made the stars and galxies in space we could never reach nor reach in the whole history of mankind - GOD is that big and that awesome - allow youself to view creation from HIS view - HE created it all - it all belongs to HIM - we belong to HIM as well - HE created us too - we are HIS handy work - just take a look at your own body - look how complex it is - look at it's working - it's functions - just look at the human eye or the foot - look at the design we have been designed with - look at the world around you today and praise GOD for it all - GOD made it all! There is nothing that we can find in this world that was not made by GOD - HE made it all for us to enjoy - HE could have made this place drab - HE could have taken away all the greenery after the fall - HE could have not put blue watered oceans and green meadow - our GOD is creative - HE made it all - and it all belongs to HIM - we simply borrow it as long as HE allows us to - it's all HIS and it's all about HIM! Much of our problem is we have taken ownership of cretion and we just really borrow it for the length our life - GOD thought of everything when HE made this world and the universe - HE left nothing out - HE calls us to go out and enjoy it - it's all made by HIS hands! Rejoice and praise HIM!

WORD TO THE WISE:
Nothing you will find here was not made by GOD!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST creation is teaming with life!

The Build Up

1st Thessalonians 5:11
Encourage each other to build each other up,
just as you are already doing!

Do you know you can help change a life? There are many with needs around us - many who simply need someone to come beside them and keep pushing them to move forward - we all need encouragment now and again - all of us need pointed in the right direction - we need other's to share the load - we cannot do it alone -we where not designed to do it alone - we must help one another - and show others what it means to live for CHRIST! Sometimes this world can really dissourage us - it can cause us to forget why we are here and were we are going..it's not an easy life - but it's the greatest life - our mission is to build other's up - I call it the big build up! We must be willing to go where GOD calls us to go and do what HE calls us to do - we must build up others in the Church -we are all family in Christ - He longs for a day when we all walk hand and hand serving HIM and one another - The Build Up is coming - are you part of it?

WORD TO THE WISE:
What is your life saying to others? What does your actions say about your realtionship with Christ? What do you want to say? Say it in love!
JESUS is LORD of all of our moments!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST We can build others up in truth & love!

AND WALLS THAT NEED TEARING DOWN?

The Daily Blueprint for 9/24/10 IF
1st JOHN 1:9
If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness!

God has made us all a faithful promise through HIS SON - HE says in HIS word that IF we would confess to HIM when we fall into sin HE would forgive us - for many pride will keep them from completely that IF - many people find it hard to accept that GOD can forgive them - many think they have gone to far from GOD to love them - some think you must get your life clean and order and then GOD will take you! IF that were true no one could be saved! amen!? We cannot be clean enough - it's only by the blood of JESUS that we have ANY standing with GOD - many refuse to accept HIS offer and sadly will end up in Hell when they die - this does seem harsh -but GOD is good - HE knows best - HE wants us to love HIM not because we have to but because we want to! IF we would only confess our sins HE would forgive us - the forgiveness has been on the table for 2,000 plus years - JESUS paid the price - and IF we would repent and ask HE would forgive us - some say that is way to easy - some day this cannot be true - many say there are many paths to GOD - sadly they will find that they missed the right one! JESUS is the only way - IF you confess your sins HE is faithful to forgive you - HE will never go back on this deal - HE is HOLY and set apart for a reason - HE is the only ONE who is worthy of our praise! IF you are caught in sin - if you cannot seem to find a way out - GOD is there - you just got to admit to HIM you are sinner and that you need HIS forgiveness! IF You are willing HE is willing to forgive you! Amen!

WORD TO THE WISE:
We all want forgiveness - we all have regrets - Seek GOD today and be forgiven and set free!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we are free from sin's penalty!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/23/10 Love Hurts
Hebrews 12:6
Whom the LORD loves He chastens!

Let's face it - Love hurts! If you have even been in love - or if you have children whom you love, and have them do something that hurts you - Love hurts - Sometimes in love we have to say something we would rather not say - or do something we don't want to do - I remember often being whipped for being bad and my Dad saying - "This is gonna hurt me more then it will hurt you" well sure it will - you are gonna hit me!! - but what my Dad said was true - loving others can often hurt! God says in HIS word that those HE loves he must sometimes Chasten - HE must show us the way in which we have done wrong - He loves us so much HE must sometimes all the consquences of our actions catch up to us - and it's often a hard pill to swallow - we must face the facts that we are not GOD - and therefore we are not perfect - we cannot be perfect without God's Spirit dwelling in us - yes sometimes love hurts - but it's the best thing ever - God is love it has been said - Love is what binds us together - I am learning about love first hand by teaching children's Sunday School - I have grown attached to these children and I love working with them - but sometimes I have to get on their case when they are acting up - I do this not because I don't like them but because I love them - we know we are loved by GOD through HIS SON JESUS - HE paid the price for our sinfulness - Love hurts - look what it cost JESUS! HIS very life - so if you are being chasten by GOD don't worry - HE knows what HE Is doing -and by this HE shows you that HE does love you - take it in stride - GOD has a plan for you! Allow HIM to execute it in your life - Love hurts - but GOD heals!

WORD TO THE WISE:
Sometimes the trials are there to show us our need for GOD!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST the pain in our live is for a purpose!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/22/10 Bread & Water
Isaiah 30:20
And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers...


Today's verse was used in yesterday's Our Daily Bread - I found this verse very odd when you see that Isaiah says that GOD has given us the bread of adversity - and the water of affliction - I always thought the enemy brought us pain - but according to this verse that's not the case- God brings it on us! Wow! That should open our eyes and make us look at GOD with humble eyes - we give too much credit to the enemy - and not enough to GOD - not that GOD wants us to suffer but HE will allow suffering to teach us - to mold us - to make us like HIS SON JESUS! It's just bread and water - this is what prisoners used to get to eat - not now - they get good food now - but there was a time they were limited to bread and water - perhaps GOD is saying that while to us the pain is hard and the trial crippling - it's nothing but bread and water - it's not the end of the world - though we may think it is - it is what it is - GOD can use anything to bring us to the place HE wants us - so when trials come let's not complain - let's rejoice - yeah the world around us will think we are nuts! But who cares - our care is to please GOD - so take the bread and the water of the trial and feed on it - allow GOD to use it to change your heart - to make you more and more like HIS SON! We often see trials as curses but GOD wants to use them as a blessing - think back on your trials you have been though and you will say that those times where the times you learned the most - one thing you can count on - class is in session and we are all learning something new every day - allow GOD to mold you - sure it may hurt now - but in the long run it will bring mighty pleasure!

WORD TO THE WISE:
Sometimes GOD allows a trial to come into our life to show us HE is all we need - has HE given you bread and water? Take and eat them - and enjoy the lesson GOD may be trying to teach you!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST the trials of this life have a purpose

The Daily Blueprint for 9/21/10 Bring Them Up
Ephesians 6:4
Don't keep on nagging and scolding your children...bring them up with the loving discipline the LORD Himself approves, with suggerstions and godly advice!


Children are a gift from GOD - I have really begun to see this as GOD has called me into children's ministry - what preious souls that GOD has given to for me to minister to - many are very receptive to GOD - sadly as we grow older we tend to lose that - God says in HIS WORD that we are to bring up our children in love - that is what is lacking in our world - love - it seems like we can communcate like never before - we have Facebook - Email - Twitter - we have text messaging - we seem more connected then ever before - but sadly that's not really the case - there are so many children rasing themsleves - and that's sad - that's not the way GOD intended it to be - He has the family right - one huband - one wife - forever and from those bonds come children - but this world is not that way - many children are now born to husbandless wives - many more are born into drug abuse and Aids and other diseases caused my not being pure before marriage - I know that's very harsh - but it's true - we have so many men willing to make the babies but not raise them - the way the world has it is wrong - GOD has it right - what about those of you who lost your husbands in the war or to disease - GOD understands and will send someone to care for your children - in one way or another - single mothers you are not alone!
GOD has the family correct but like everything else man has taken the best and settled for 2nd rate - the ideal set up and we have sadly taken God's best and settled for what the enemy says is right - raise up your children to know CHRIST - show them by example - I know I don't have my own children but GOD has placed this on my heart - we must help those around us - there are children in need everywhere - maybe GOD Is calling you to help? Ask HIM - seek HIS face!
Bring up your children in the LORD JESUS and they will never depart from the WAY - sure they will stumble and fall and get scrapes - but in the end they belong totally to GOD - thank you for doing this -

The Daily Blueprint for 9/20/10 Joy to the Heart

Psalm 19:8
The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart!

God desires for us to serve HIM with all we have - He requires obediance - HE wants us to know we are loved by HIM no matter what - obeying HIM brings HIM joy! While I know we are saved by Grace through Faith - but sadly many use that as an excuse to do whatever they want to do when they want to do it - there is freedom in CHRIST but it's not a life that you can live any way you please- the world is looking at us - and what does the world see? Our lives are no longer our own when we give them over to JESUS! When we allow HIM to live in our lives and live through us - we bring GOD the FATHER joy! God did not save us so that we could just hang out and live like the world around us - HE saved us to use us as an example for others to see what it means to follow JESUS - our salvation is not just for us - but for those around us - you want to bring joy to God's heart? Listen to HIM and obey what HE says - the world around us should not be the molding force in our lives - it should be GOD! Our lives may be the only Bible someone sees in their lives - we may be the only one GOD has given the responabilty to to lead someone to HIM! Not that we should live in high pressure about the lost but we should live lives that have them in focus - we want to show them what it means to follow CHRIST!~ The world is looking for authantic believers in CHRIST! Last night I saw a movie called The Second Chance - if you get a chance to rent this movie - please do - it's about what today's verse is talking about - living your life for something greater then yourself - living your life with God's kingdom in focus - this is your one shot at this life - how are you going to spend your time - making youself happy or GOD?

WORD TO THE WISE:
This life is brief - we don't have much time - what are you going to do with the time you have left?

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we bring JOY to GOD!

High Places of Battle

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickeness in high places.

Right now even when you cannot see it - there is a battle going on for your soul! The enemy wants to take you down - he hates you and the GOD we serve - he wants nothing more then to destory our realtionship with HIM! The enemy has not changed the way he tries to destory our relationship with GOD since the beginning - his mission has always been to show GOD just how much he hates HIM! Today's verse talks about the battle we all face as the children of GOD - we all face a common enemy - and this enemy has taken down many a people and even many churches - he is ruthless in his hatred for God and His people - we need to be sure we are fighting this battle armed - without God in our lives - we will lose this battle - but because God has given us the power of HIS SPIRIT and of HIS WORD we can fight the good fight of faith! Maybe today you don't feel like a mighty warrior for God - maybe today you got mad and you woke up late and feel wimpy - well the power that we have is not from us but from God - God wants to use you today to fight HIS battle - remember the battle is not ours but belongs to the LORD! Allow HIM to fight for you! This world is an evil place - there are forces of darkness all over the place - in high places even -
that battle we face is with those who rule in high places - in the darkness - in the atmosphere that is against God!
Surrender to JESUS and HE will fight for you!
Let's win the battle with Christ against those in high places!

WORD TO THE WISE:
We are powerless to fight this battle on our own - it takes GOD in us to do it! Allow HIM to!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we will win the battle!

PSALM 82:3
Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy!

Let's face it - these are hard times in which we live in - I am feeling to pitch as well - in the past I have given a lot to those in need - I don't say this to pat myself on the back - but to say that GOD has blessed me with the abilty to do this - but here lately I have had to cut back - not because I want too but because I have to - why am I telling you this when today's topic is giving? it's to say I know what it's like to have plenty and I know what it's like to have much - there are people in need right were you live that could use a hand right now? most of the time we think in terms of money - but those in need - need so much more - our time is one thing we can give them - Jesus commands us to love those who are without - He says that GOD knows what their need is before they even ask- if GOD has given you an abudance - why not share it with those in need - if HE has not given you an abundance HE has still given you enough - you can use what you have for HIS glory - those with needs are all around us - from the child you see at church - the the old man on the street corner - they all have needs - their deepest need is for a realtionship with JESUS CHRIST - that's their deepest need - and a need that can be met through GOD alone!
We are to defend those who cannot defend themselves - those who have needs that they alone cannot met - why not visit a local rescue Misison or find a group who goes and feeds the homeless - give of yourself - it's easy to write a check - I have done that a long time but it's hard work to go out - put yourself on the line for the sake of CHRIST! Defend them JESUS says!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/10/10 Deep Strength
Proverbs 14:26
Reverance for GOD gives a man deep strength.
His children have a place of refuge and security!

What place does GOD have in your life? If He takes any other place but first then something is wrong -something is taking HIS place - whatever it is - that's an idol - GOD must come first - or not at all!
Reverance for GOD gives a man deep strength
When we honor GOD with our lives - blessings follow - now this is where many get it wrong - thinking blessings mean something tagiable but often we will miss the blessing because we are consumed with ourselves -we must let go and allow GOD to take control - the deep strength we get from GOD is unlike the worldly strength we see around us - nothing in this world can stand up against GOD!
If you want to have strength to face the hard times - you must give your life over to GOD - know many say that won't believe in something they cannot see - but GOD is there waiting for you right now - He loves you - He wants you to be strong in the face of the trials of life -often HE will allow hard times to bring you to your knees and to HIM!
Deep stregth comes from GOD alone - and when it's in our life others will notice - this includes your children - the WORD says that when we honor GOD our children will follow suite - they will follow our example - I must say right here that sometimes they go the wrong way but if they really know CHRIST they will return to their faith - now that's deep stregth right there! Trust in the ONE who gave HIS SON
for you! In Christ - Daniel

If you are weak in your faith ask GOD for deep strength!

Wise Words

Proverbs 23:15
My son, how I will rejoice if you become a man of common sense. Yes, my heart will thrill to your throughful, wise words!

Do you know how powerful our words are? A nursery rhyme I grew up with said that sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me! - this statement is not so true the longer I live - I have been personally hurt by words said by others- they have hurt me deeply - I know that no one can make me feel any way - but word can hurt - words can cut people down - but words can also build people up! How are you using your words? Our words can lead those who are lost to CHRIST or they can drive them away - our words are powerful -
God spoke all this into exsitance and it look just one word to make it all - one word will call it all to a close! Our words need to be prayed over before we just blurt them out!
Our words can be used to build bridges or tear them down and build walls - what are you building with your words - what we say and how we say it is important - we must watch our mouths- God says in HIS word - how can blessings and curses come from the same place? How can a mouth speak ugly things - curse and say bad things about others - also speak praises? Good question! Let's be careful what we say!
Let's use wise words!

WORD TO THE WISE:
Our words mean so much - everything that we say we must give an account one day - let's say good things - and mean them deep in our hearts- we can say the right thing and still not live the right way!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/7/10 One Another
Romans 12:10
Love one another with brotherly affection---as members of one family---give precedence and showing honor to one another.

The Church is a family - the church is an organism - the church is living and breathing - the church is the people of the church - we are family you could say - with that we must love one another - respect on another - we must both love and respect each other - in the church we are to serve each other while we serve GOD - our ultimate goal should always be love GOD and others - GOD has put all the people you know in your path for you to get to know them - to love them - to help them! No man is an island - we need to each other - sometimes however there is a diffrence of opinion among members of the family and sometime feelings get hurt - I am facing such a situation right now - and it's hard - it must be handled careful - because we got to remember we are family - we are to love one another - GOD has a plan and in that plan HE is all about relationship! We must tread lightly and be in prayer when these things arrise - and they will - you better believe it will - you get people who are not the same into one group and there will be trouble at one time or another - we must love each other - I know many who have been hurt in church - and they have some stories - people in church are people none the less - and if you put your trust in people you will be let down - in Christ we are brothers and sisters - in Christ we are one - so let's live like the church GOD intended - loving each others - and forgiving one another - this is the way GOD intended it to be - you are part of the church so you must love one another! GOD loves you - love each other!

WORD TO THE WISE:
We are in this together - lets live that way as the church!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we can love one another!
