FREE

JOHN 8:36
If the SON has set you free, you are free indeed!


Do you want real lasting freedom? Trust in the SON!
It is that simple - many want to make it a complex set of rules - of the do's and don't - some want some formula - what can we do to have freedom? 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!
Be free today - be free in JESUS!

WORD TO THE WISE:
JESUS laid down HIS life to pay for your way to heaven! But we must take HIM up on HIS offer!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we are free!!!!!

GUIDE

PSALM 48:14

For this GOD is our GOD for ever and ever;
HE will be our guide even to the end!

Do you know where you are going in your life? Do you have direction in which you are going? Does your life have meaning? Is the question "why am I here" on your mind often? Well I got good news for you! Today is the first day of the rest of your life - why not take this day - the first day of October and put your faith and trust in JESUS? He will save you on the spot - today could be the greatest day of your life - today you could come to know JESUS! Is HE your guide in this life? If we follow anyone else we will lead down the wrong path - often God leads us down a road that we would not choise to go down on our own - believe me - I have walked a road these past couple of years that I would never ever have chosen - but now as I look back and can see God's hand in it all - even the bad parts - GOD uses it all for good! 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? Will HE be your guide?

WORD TO THE WISE:
We are all depentant on someone - let's depend on GOD because no one else is greater and no one loves us more!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we are headed in the right direction!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/30/10 Our Sure Hope
ISAIAH 12:2
Behold, GOD is my salvation; I will trust , and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song!

Our sure hope is none other then JESUS CHRIST - this is the single subject of this ministry - sure many topics are covered but the goal each day is to bring people to faith in Jesus! Another reason these go out each to is to encourage you -
to sure you that God's Word is the blueprint for a life lived for Christ - it's by HIS word we can know HIM! Our sure hope is all we need - the world around us may wonder why we give everything to Jesus - the world thinks that is foolish - but it's our sue hope - while the world trust in the sinking sand of this world - our sure hope is beyond this world- our home is not of this place - all this is passing away - those who put their hope in anyone or anything then Jesus Christ alone will one day have to face HIS judgement - today is the day to know this sure hope- so that our sure hope will be your sure hope - if you don't trust in Christ right now - why not? why not try HIM and see that HE is good!? He is reaching out to you now - come to know Christ and you too will have that sure hope we celebrate here daily - JESUS came and died for our sins - let us never tire of hearing that truth - it's the only truth and it's all that we need - let the world around us trust in the things that pass away while we trust in the etenral One - the ONE who made it all - the ONE who owns it all - submit today and allow HIM to live in you - the world around us is decaying but the man or woman of God is being renewed daily - trust in the ONE who has it all - JESUS!

HE ALONE IS OUR SURE HOPE!

WORD TO THE WISE:
The riches of this world will soon pass away and what will be left? only JESUS - so choise today which way you will go - toward JESUS or away from HIM!

He Made It All

Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to recieve glory and
honor and power: for Thou hast created all things.


Take a look around you - where ever you are you cannot fail to see God's hand at work - HE made all you see - and all you cannot see! 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!

ARE THERE SOME BRIDGES THAT NEED BUILDING?
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!

"IF may seem short but it's a long word" -

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 -
yours in CHRIST! For the children, Daniel

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!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/15/10 Defend Them
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!
WORD TO THE WISE:
many of us could be on the street if we didn't get our next two paychecks - think of that when you see a homeless person and love them!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we can help the least of these!

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

WORD TO THE WISE:
If you are weak in your faith ask GOD for deep strength!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we have strength that lasts forever!

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!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST our words have power!

WHAT WE SPEAK COMES FROM WHAT'S IN OUR HEART!

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!

The Daily Blueprint for 9/6/10 Labor
John 6:27
Labor not for the meat which parishes, but for that meat which endures unto ever lasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed!

Today across America people are taking a break from work - this is a day of rest -the end of summer is upon us - all the fun we had (or didn't have) is now history - School is back in session - and work is something we all have to do - we must labor to earn an income! If you don't work - how will you be able to eat - or provide for your family?
Work is a fact of life - no doubt about it - we all are thankful for 2 days a week we can be off from work - please note there are those working who don't get those two days a week off - there are those who serve in the Armed Forces who must work on days that we are off to keep us safe! There are people in the health profession that must work - volunteers at local rescue squads - don't get a day off - they are always needed - Today's verse talks about laboring for that which does not pass away - eternal things - these are the important things - not to make light those who serve in dangerous jobs - those who work on holiday's - but this world is fleeting it's passing away - we are not here for long and must make our mark - but what does our life say to others? What are we working for? Is it simply to provide things to ourselves and our families? Is it more than that? for some work is a social event -a place to get away from the outside world and become part of a mini-communtiy - for others their job defines them - their job is most important and can become an idol - put before God - this is dangerous - GOD has given us jobs to do HIS will - we are HIS agents on the job - where ever GOD has placed you - be a light - live for His glory for those around you to see - remember what you do says a lot about the GOD you serve!
Let's labor for that which will last forever - our very souls and the souls of countless others that GOD places in our path!Today is the day - rest today but tomorrow it's time to get back to it!

WORD TO THE WISE:
Work for me has been tough for the past couple of weeks - but that does not make me run away but it causes me to fight that much harder to stay - to be used by GOD - what about you? What's GOD asking you to do? God be with you all - Happy Labor Day!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST our labor is not in vain for HIM!

Who Are You Working For?

Colossians 3:23
In all the work that you are doing, work the best you can, Work as if you were working for the LORD, not for men!

Work is a fact of life - we don't work - we don't eat - and these days jobs are hard to find - many of us are struggling just to keep our jobs - with layoffs becoming more and more common - job security is not very high these days - there is much pressure on us to perform - we are under fire more and more - jobs are hard to come by!

The good news today is that we actually work for GOD not our employers - oh sure they pay us for the work we do - but our mission is to please GOD first and foremost before anyone else - many have this all wrong - they try and please man - but we should do that as our main goal - we must do the best job we can -not for us - not for our bosses - but for GOD - HE is the one who we must please - people cannot save our souls - they cannot forgive us our sins only JESUS can do that - are you working for your earthly boss alone? Or for GOD who gave you the job - today the economy is doing really bad - we can no longer depend on our jobs to be there but we can trust in the ONE who will never leave us or forsake us - let's remember what we do now matters - people are watching what we are doing -what is your life say?
Let's remember GOD is our boss - our manager - HIS SON Our Savior - who are you working for?

WORD TO THE WISE:
WHEN WE WORK - WE SHOULD WORK PRAYFULLY AND REMEMBER THE LORD IS OUR PROVIDER NOT OUR JOBS!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we work for GOD!

All Things

Romans 8:28
...and we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD , to them who are called according to HIS purpose!


Let's face the facts - some days are better then others - yesterday was a tough day for me- for some reason I was really frazzled and every little thing got on my last nerve - it was just one of those days - I was borthed by everything it seems - then I got some news that my friend lost his job - and then my boss came down on me a little - all this brought my mind to today's verse - well to be honest it was not the first thing I thought of - I got angry - and I am not happy about that - but I was angry and I just could not let it go - all the while GOD was working it all out for my good - we often have no idea what GOD is saving us from - sometimes HE allows what we think are bad things to happen - many of us when faced with a trial will run from it - we don't want to suffer at all - at any cost -sorry but following Christ means we will suffer - but that's not the end of the story - before I make those of you who don't know Jesus run the other way - following Christ is not easy - I will level with you - it's not the easy life - if you want the easy life - don't follow Christ! but that easy life will end in death - and death forever apart from Jesus is what you get if you don't come to know HIM! Today's verse says that all things work together for good - ALL things - not some things - not certian things - ALL THINGS!
so no matter what you are facing today - GOD is working it out for our good! Even when we cannot see it! Just trust in the one who knows you better then anyone!

NO ONE CAN STAND IN THE WAY OF GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!

NOTHING HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT!

The Daily Blueprint

No Matter

Philippians 4:11b
...For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances!


Take a look at any tv program and you will see commericals offering products you have to have to make your life better - to bring you contentment - but sadly nothing they could ever offer could bring any of us lasting freedom from our chains - no product was designed to make us content - the stuff of this world is never enough - I was struggling with this very thing today - I wanted to buy something that I "needed" but every time I thought about it - I kept feeling I should not buy it - I didn't have the money - and after all it was not gonna make me feel any more content then I already was! I have to admit I have gone through some very bad circumstances in the past couple of years - but GOD has seen me through it all - GOD has always made a way for me when there was no way it could have been done without HIM! I passed up buying what I wanted but got something better - peace! The world may offer peace but true peace only comes from a relationship with JESUS CHRIST! Paul was content with the circumstances of his life -and if anyone could have complained it was Paul - I mean he was put in jail for preaching the gospel - He was beaten - He was ship wrecked - and blinded - he could complain and no one would have blamed him - and yet he wrote these words - he was content - no matter the circumstance - he has a message for us today - I don't really know anyone of you who recieve this daily that has ever been in jail - now this may be forwarded to someone who was in jail at one time - of course some of those people may be in jail right now - God is placing this on my heart - someone caught in jail needs to hear this message- these words of Paul where not written from a palace or a church - but jail - Paul was locked up and wrote these words! May that message sink in deep in your life today - I pray for you to hear God's voice and to know that no matter what - God has a plan and God loves you!

Word to the wise:
If you think this world is gonna make you happy - you are in the wrong place!

Unlike The World

John 14:27
My peace I leave you: my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid!

The word's idea of peace is money - possessions - relationships - position - or jobs - none of these things will bring you the peace that lasts - all these things will pass away - but GOD never will - He will always there to give us real lasting peace -
Do you have peace in your life? Does your life have this peace?
Not a worldly peace - but a lasting true and full peace - a peace that passes our understanding - is your life about JESUS? Or have you allowed the things of this world to choke HIM out - HIS word should live in our hearts - HIS HOLY Spirit should be in control of our hearts and minds - with this control there is real lasting peace and life like no other!
Without JESUS there is no lasting peace - no hope - no life - just death - but in CHRIST there is hope like no other - there is hope that moves mountains - the world pales in comparison to JESUS!
The world cannot save you - the world can just offer you temporary things - things that won't last - things that are just dust!
Take JESUS at HIS word today - come to know HIM
and have peace unlike the world around you!

Word to the wise: This world is passing away - all that is in it won't be one day but GOD will always be!

Faith is Vision

1 Peter 1:8

"Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy"
I love the verse in a song we sing in Church - the line goes like this "When faith will be sight!" One day beloved our faith will be sight - for we will see JESUS face to face -

one day soon we will leave this old world far behind and be joined together with JESUS our LORD - right now we have faith without sight - none of us have seen JESUS face to face - although we can see the effect of HIM everywhere - in a way our faith is our sight - we do not put our trust in what we can only see - but what we cannot see - our faith will one day become sight!

Today are you living a life that is Blind to JESUS?
IS your life about HIS business or your own?
Is God #1 in our life?
These are tough questions but they must be answered!
We have to remember we believe not because we have seen
but because we have faith - faith that is seen is not faith at all -
We do show the world around us if we do believe what we say we do!

In our day to day life Faith must be a vision -- we must see our life through the lens of faith - without our faith - life would be meaningless - we would have no purpose at all - the good news is this world is not all there is -we are as well as the world - passing away - we are not going to be here forever - one day we will be home!

Until that day - the best we can do is see life through the vision of faith!

What are you looking at today? JESUS or your circumstances?

Word to the wise: Our best vision is when we see GOD clearly!

He Alone

Jude 25
To the only GOD our SAVIOR be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord!

God alone is worthy of our praise - many have gotten this wrong and this one point is very important - some have worshiped pastors and other leaders of the church - this is not what GOD wants at all - HE alone is worthy of our praise - He alone is worthy of honor and glory! He alone - He alone is worthy of all our life - not just part of it!

Even though we have gotten this wrong - GOD still forgives us - but this is a serious thing - if we try to steal HIS glory we become thieves - and we won't shine for the world to see - when we steal HIS glory we take something that does not belong to us!

God made everything - HE alone is worthy of worship - many this very day worship false gods - the gods of money - fame - sex - work - anything that we put before GOD can become a god to us - many will be offended by such a statement - but it's none the less true - I have to admit I have been caught worshipping the wrong god - I like a clean house and sometimes I put that before spending time with GOD - sometimes that's more important to have a clean house - or to please people - none of this is correct - I ask for God to forgive me - it shows me how much I need HIS blood - how much a sinner I am apart from CHRIST - I am no better then anyone else - I fall to the same things other people fall to - I have always believed when you step out in faith and do something for GOD then the enemy will hit you with all he has - he wants to get you off track - he wants you to worship him instead of GOD - Jesus went through this in the desert - but HE used the mighty word of GOD to tell the devil to leave him -
JESUS would not bow to him and neither should we - the enemy is real and he hates you - he hates me and he hates God - his mission is to destroy us HIS church - but it is not gonna happen - nothing can stop the true CHURCH!

We must daily check our lives to see if there is anything we put before GOD
and ask HIM to take it from us- to take our desire away for the things of this world!

HE ALONE IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP!

He Supplies What is Needed

2nd Corith 9:12
For the administration of the service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;....

Everything we have comes from GOD - for HE made all and all was made for HIS glory - He made us because He wanted too - He sometimes likes to show off - after all HS is GOD - He can do whatever HE wants - HE owns it all - HE is the ONE who can supply all we need - HE is the ONE who can give us just what we need - HE loves us - we are HIS children - We are to live lives that show the world around us that we belong to HIM - and HIM alone - no one else owns us - no one else knows best what we need but GOD alone - HE supplies what is needed every time - often times He allows circumstances to put us in want - HE does this so we will lean and and depend on HIM at all times - we are weak in our flesh - we can do nothing apart from HIM -
we can try - but we will never be fullfilled - we will never be given what we need unless we make HIM LORD of our lives - JESUS came and died for our sins - HE came willingly - the KING came as a servant - HE came to serve - HE came to give us just what we need - HE does the same thing today - we who belong to HIM have access to all HE has and all HE is! The reason we have what we have is GOD ordained it - GOD made all that you see - and all that you cannot see -
HE made this world for us - HE made the universe and everything in it to bring HIMSELF glory! Are your needs met? This world cannot do it - only GOD can -
this world is passing away - what we have before us in better then what has come before us - GOD will give us just what we need - depend on HIM today!

Called By Him

Isaiah 43:1
But now the LORD who created you says, Don't be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name;
you are Mine!

How many of you have felt and heard the call of God on your life? Now it may be a still small voice that is easy to ignore - I know in my life I have resisted the call of God - I felt years ago that I should go into youth ministry - but nothing ever became of it - later on I heard the call to mentor others - God used me in the lives of two young men - one now is married and has a family of his own - the other told me the other day that he is thankful I have been there for him! Then the call moved to children -I have been blessed with the ability to met children where they are at -- it's all JESUS nothing to do with me - but HIS call was heard years ago - but I didn't listen - and it took me years to find out what HE wanted me to do - do you hear that call on your life?
God didn't save us to be by ourselves - He wants us to be part of His community - the Church -we are HIS bride! I know GOD has call me - has He called you?
the purpose of this devotional today is not to pat myself on the back - it's to bring GOD glory for the call on my life - My flesh does not want to serve God - right now my flesh is fighting me - I want to do this for GOD but my flesh is weak - but the reason this continues to be put out is because I feel the call of GOD on my life -
I pray that you can hear and sense that same call- the workers are few JESUS says - will you be one of HIS workers - this often will mean little pay and no praise from men - not that we should seek that! There will however be much joy - the world around us is dying - there are lost people right without our voice - let's call out to GOD on their behalf - it's not about us - it's all about HIM! Are you called by HIM?

Word to the wise: God is calling you

Finished Works

Hebrews 4:13
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as HE said, As I have sworn in My wrath, if they sahll enter into My rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world!

God is not done with any of us yet - or else we would have already been taken home to heaven - God has a plan for each of our lives - He wants us to remain in His rest - His rest means we quit trying in our power and trust in His power to do in us what we cannot do on our own - we must trust His power , His Grace and His love to see us through - we must depend on Him and not oursleves - this seems to be a common theme in the devotionals God is leading me to write - He is building something beautiful with HIS church - I am seeing this more and more - HE wants us to be built on HIM and HE wants us to be ready for the Groom - it's hard being a male and thinking about the fact we , the church are the Bride of Christ - we must build our lives on Him -
and when all is said and done - God will have some wonderful finished works!
We are all incomplete at the moment - none of us have arrived yet - none of us have made to the place were we can just quit growing and become done!
We have to strive in Christ each day - being a Christ follower is not a part time job - but a 24/7/365 commitment to allowing God to build our lives on HIS foundation and what HE builds cannot be torn down - however what we build on our won't stand the test of time - soon we will be finished works for Christ - but right now - we must contiune on the path He has set before us and serve HIM by serving others in HIS name! We are works in progress - soon HE will complete us to His specifications!

You are fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the chief cornerstone.

This ministry is all about building lives on the God's Word! His word is something we can rely on - it will never change - you will never have to worry about it changing - because it's GOD's infallible Word! His love letter to us!

There are people today who are building their lives on something other then JESUS!
These lives will never be compete - they will never have the joy - the peace - the freedom we have in CHRIST! They will have live that in the end will prove to be empty! We who know and worship Christ are living our lives from His foundation - not a man made one - a have a friend who said that he builds his life on his own foundation - told him that is not correct - if he is in Christ then his foundation is none other then Jesus Christ - Our lives should be built on JESUS and no one else -
We cannot build lives that matter apart from HIM! We must be willing to put the foundation of CHRIST In our lives in the forefront for all to see - we cannot be separated from JESUS and nothing can separate us from His love - no matter what we may done in the past - today is the day the foundation of your life can change - it's moving the trust from yourself and others to JESUS and HIM alone-
Just what is your life built upon? If it not on JESUS then you are lost and without hope - today you can trust JESUS like never before - today your life can be rebuilt!

Sparrow

Matthew 10:29-30
Not one sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. So don't worry! You are more valuable to Him then many sparrows!

What value does God place on a human life? He was willing to send His One and Only Son to die for the sins of mankind - what kind of price is that? The Word of God says that you are worth more then many sparrows - the point being that God knows when a sparrow falls to the ground - nothing happens without God's knowledge - Jesus said if The Father is concerned for a sparrow - how much more is He concerned about us?
Sometimes in this life we go by what others say about us - we begin to believe what they say over what God says - if we go by man -we will fall - we will fail - we will be let down - I was just talking to a friend the other day - and we talked about this very thing - we are worth more then anyone says we are worth - we cannot go by the labels this world puts on us - we must go by what JESUS says! He alone determines our worth - He alone made us! Many times our performance becomes who we are to the world around us - always do great things and never fail the world will label you a success!
but fail - the world will call you a failure - it's so good that GOD does not see us the way the world sees us - there are people this very moment giving up on life - could this be one of you? Maybe this message is for you - just you - whoever you are - God loves you - God longs for you to know this! God loves you!
No matter what you have done - no matter where you have been!
GOD loves you - HE cares about you deeply - HE sent HIS only SON for you!
If it was just you HE would have done it all!

I watched a movie last night called the Cross and the Switchblade -
if you get a chance rent it - it's about Ricky Cruise - this guy used to hate JESUS - he hated a preacher that came on his turf - but in the end Nicky found out what GOD thought of him - he found out how much he is worth to GOD - let's see ourselves as GOD sees us - in Christ we are free from condemnation - we are free from the power of our sins - GOD loves us so much HE has given us all we need!

You are worth so much to GOD - HE loves you - yes you!

Word to the wise: Only GOD can rate a life!
HE views us as worth more then anything else!

Growth

2nd Peter 3:18a
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Growth is found in nature - things must grow to survive - they must adapt to the things around them - we have to change the way we do things today because money is so tight - we must be smarter with the money God allows us to use! We must be willing to take the steps to grow in our faith as well - this grow requires exercise - and exercise requires work - many of our have gotten spiritually lazy - many of us are happy to stay right where we are - but fortunately God loves us too much to leave us like we were!
His single goal is to make us like His Son Jesus - that's it - God wants us to be conformed into the image of His Son - He wants us to be holy as HE is holy -
this requires spiritual sweat - it's not easy - but GOD does the work so in one respect it is easy - the problem is we try and stay the way we are and God is trying to (and HE succeeds I might ad!) to make us like His Son - HE does not want us to stay stagnate like a pond but HE wants us to be a river HE can flow through -all this takes growth - a Tree cannot live long if it remains a sampling - it must grow and reach toward the sky - we must do the same thing in our faith - if we ever get to a place were we are satisfied with our faith we are in trouble - God didn't make us to sit still - He wants us to move to His beat - to grow toward the Light - We must be willing to be moldable - and not hard unmoldeble clay - God has a plan for our lives -are we willing to grow with that plan or continue on where we are - Growth must happen in our spiritual life or else it will die!

God Must Build It

Psalm 127:1
If the LORD does not build the house,
The builders labor in vain to build it.

The question that comes to my mind when I read today's verse is that many in this world have built their lives on something other then Jesus Christ. Those who have built on anything else have built on shaky ground - everything in this world will one day pass away - this is not our home - you see many famous people who live in direct opposition to Christ and His Ways - they live hollow lives that the world accolades -
Lives that don't bring God glory -- many live as if there is no God - that's so sad!
We who know JESUS as LORD know there is a GOD - and HE loves us - HE loves everyone that He created! (hint - that's everyone!!) Jesus came to save those who are lost (again that's everyone!) If we want to bring GOD glory - HE must build the building - He must build our lives up in order to accomplish what HE wants us to do -Maybe you feel like GOD didn't build you well -that's not true -you are a treasure of GOD - HE made you - you are HIS Masterpiece! Many are lost and dying around us - many don't know JESUS came to save them - it's our mission to tell them about JESUS - since HE has built our lives on the ROCK - We can now move forward and bring JESUS to the lost and dying around us! We can build on solid ground now - the shaking ground of this world is not the place to build - GOD must build it - or else it will all be in vain - we can love others - we can serve others - but without JESUS in our heart - it's meaningless - what is your life built on???

Word to the wise: The sandy foundation of this world won't stand - but the ROCK will always stand and we can build our lives upon HIM!

What we build upon

1st Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any foundation other then
the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ!

The whole permise of this ministry is building our lives on GOD'S WORD!
I send these out daily to show that God's Word is the blueprint we need to see what it means to live this life for Jesus Christ - that is the single purpose - but it has many facets - one facet is bringing the lost to Christ -the other facet is helping those who already walk with HIM to walk closer to HIM - thirdly it's to encourage those of the faith that are struggling - this three point purpose is what I strive to convey each day - That the only one to whom we can really build our lives on is JESUS!
HE alone deserves our worship and respect - sadly in this day and age many are falling away from their faith - many are just walking away - it's alarming - GOD Is so good and HE sent HIS only SON to save us - and yet many are just walking away - It's like when JESUS was talking to many about eating His body and drinking His blood - some said it was too hard a saying and they walked away - Jesus asked the 12 if they wanted to walk away too - I think it was Peter who said - Lord where else can we go!
The truth is - no where - we cannot go anywhere without CHRIST!
We must build our lives upon HIM and HIS truth!
We must not build on this sandy foundation of this world but on the sure foundation of the ROCK - there has been times recently in my faith were I have gotten lazy - I don't read the WORD like I should - I don't pray as much as I should - I know none of that saves me (only the blood of JESUS makes me right with GOD) but it's good to do those things if you want to grow -
What is your life built apon - anything but JESUS means it's gonna pass away
but in CHRIST all things remine brand new!
Build on the ROCK!
Yours in the process!
Daniel

Word to the wise: We are all works in progress - JESUS is not done with any of us yet!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST our lives are built on HIS sure foundation!

He made Man

Genesis 1:26a
And GOD said, Let US make man in Our image,
after Our likeness.

God in His infinate wisdom created man - we are only because He wants us to be - no one is here by accident - and we won't be leaving by accident - GOD has a plan and it's perfect - He does not need us at all but He choose to make us - knowing full well HIS creation was going to turn it's back on HIM - HE still made man! He knew of the garden and HE knew of the fall that was going to take place - HE saw all the way from the beginning to the end - HE is both the beginning and the end - He made man so that man could enjoy HIM forever and man could enjoy GOD forever - however once sin entered the picture that all changed but it didn't catch GOD off guard - today's devotional is one in which I want to tell you that GOD values you - you are no mistake - I know of several people that have basically given up on life - I had to admit to myself I was there at one time during this tough journey of the last couple of years - losing several loved ones and friends has been tough - losing my marriage is been tough and the health scares I have been through - and I am not alone - several close friends from my past have left this earth - both my Mom and my Dad are now gone home - couple that with the passing of my step-sister Tari-Janye - one can see how fregal our lives really are - the only thing I can say is I know GOD made us - I know HE has a plan - and I know that HIS plan will come to pass - no matter what we do or don't do -
HIS will shall be done - GOD made man for the purpose of man enjoying GOD!
One day when our lives here are ever we will see HIM! Those of us who have followed HIM will not be meeting Him for the first time -God made us - He formed us in our Mother's womb - and He wants to show us HIS love through HIS grace!
If you have been born once - you can be born again! God made man - and it is good!

Word to the wise: Whenever you feel worthless remember just what GOD did to save you! HE has made us worthy! through the blood of HIS dear Son!

Put it On!

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of GOD , that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (jkv)

When you wake up in the morning - what do you put on? I am not just talking about physically - but spiritually - if you head out of the house undressed you will look funny and would get arrested for indecent exposure - in the same way going out without your spiritual clothes on is very foolish - we must put on CHRIST when we get up every morning - we must put on HIS righteousness and not try to obtain it on our own - we must put on the right things in order to stand against the enemy - you don't show up to battle without your gear do you? A football player would be useless without his gear - and without the play book - as Christ followers we are to ware HIS garments!
We must be willing to admit we cannot do it on our own - it takes putting on CHRIST to make it! The enemy is not gonna rest while we sit around undressed - without the blood of JESUS we are powerless - but in CHRIST we have HIS power to fight off the enemy of our souls - put on CHRIST!

Word to the wise: If we don't ware the right clothing -we will be foolish!

Life & Death

Romans 8:2
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Once we have received the adoption from GOD to be HIS sons and daughters we are completely changed - know often on this side of heaven we won't see these changes - we are all human and we all miss the mark and mess up - we all fall short -
but in CHRIST there is life - but apart from HIM there is only death -
now you may say you see people who are just living fine without Christ - they like as alive as we do - but the outside and the inside is not the same thing - we are all in need a the Saviors healing blood - we must come to a place in our lives where we find that CHRIST is all we need - there are many things in the world today vining for our attention - friendships - courtships - work - any a number of things that can take our minds off GOD - without our mind on anything else -we are not really living!
We must put CHRIST first in all things -we must be willing to set our lives apart for CHRIST and not try and live it apart from HIM - we find out quickly that the LAW only brings Death but JESUS only brings LIFE - which are you following? Life or Death?

Word to the wise: when you follow CHRIST you won't go in the wrong direction!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST We don't face death alone!

Understand

Colossians 1:9
...asking GOD to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Knowledge - this is something everyone wants - but sadly not everyone is willing to do what it takes to get it - it's something we use and then get rid of - often we will show just how smart we are but spewing off a lot of facts- however facts are not the same thing as wisdom - we all want to be looked at as intelligant - being being smart does not mean you have the correct knowledge - we must have the correct view of GOD - if we ask HIM HE would give it to us - but do we ask HIM? He has already said in HIS word that if we ask ANYTHING in HIS name - HE will do it - if it's according to HIS will - oftentimes we come to God thinking we know it all - but it's not the truth - our minds cannot contain all God knows - we would be blown away to see what GOD sees - do you just want to know facts about JESUS or do you want to know Him personally - many shy away from this realtionship because they think it means giving up things- they think it means people will think they are nuts - many worry what this will do to their image - but it's sad - that they would exchange this world for the one to come - JESUS wants to live in and through us today - one way HE does this is by giving us spiritual knowlege - but HE does not give it just for the sake of Knowledge - He wants - He longs for everyone to walk with HIM - HE wants no one to miss heaven - we can have much brain knowledge and street smarts - but without JESUS we are nothing -we can do nothing and our lives will amount to nothing -
let the widsom of GOD reveal the truth of just who HE is!

Word to the wise: The more we think we understand - the less we really do understand!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we have knowledge of HIS salvation!

Early

:Proverbs 8:17
I love them that love Me, and those who seek Me
early shall find Me!

If there is one thing about me that you may not it's this -
I am not a morning person - I am much more a night owl - it's always a little past midnight before I finally wind down - it takes me a while because I am most awake right before I have to go to bed - and when morning comes - ugh - I am not a happy camper - don't get me wrong - I love life - I love living - but I also enjoy hitting the snooze button as many times as I can get away with! God says in today's verse that we need to seek HIM early - not I am not sure sure this really means the time of the day - but rather the time of our lives - if we wait to the last breath to finally praise JESUS it may be just too late! We must live every moment for our King - true there are people today who have never even heard the name JESUS which is very sad - you would think everyone knows JESUS - but it's not true - many are lost around us right now - in our day to day activites there are those who won't get to be with GOD in heaven - how sad - we must seek GOD early - not later - not as an afterthought - we must put Him first - He does not want lukewarm children - He wants children who are willing and able to do what HE calls them to do - He has a misison for each of our lives - some of us have sought Him and found out what it is - others have not taken the time to develop a relationaship with CHRIST personally - we must seek GOD early - before it's too late - JESUS said that those who seek HIM will know the Father - there is no doubt once you know JESUS that your life will change - you will want to see HIM first before anyone else - are you seeking the LORD early? Or are you just giving Him your leftovers - the last moment of your day or the last moment of your life - GOD Is there - HE is waiting for you today - come to HIM just as you are - seek HIM early -
before it's too late! One day HE will come back - one day HE will break open the Eastern sky - we have to be ready - the time is now!
Seek HIM early - Seek HIM often - Seek HIM now!

Word to the wise: If we try to serve JESUS by walking by sight - we will be blind to what HE wants for our lives!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BECAUSE OF CHRIST it's never too early to seek HIS face!

Son Light

Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men , that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven!

Our lives are no longer our own - we no longer can make our own choices - we must consider what GOD wants above what we want - that is the Christian life in a nut shell - GOD wants to use your life and my life to bring light into the world - we must have this Son Light in our lives so that those around us will see JESUS in us - remember it's to bring HIM glory not ourselves - it's easy to get this all mixed up - afterall we have the flesh to contend with - today's verse says to allow the light of JESUS to shine in and out of our lives so that those who see us will tell there is something different about us - right now my church is going through some changes - but what amazes me is that light is being cast from the lives of those in our church - you can see it in their lives - this is not just a Sunday thing - it's a total life style deal - every moment that they can they show the world JESUS - that's what we are here to do - to bring GOD glory!
Have you allowed HIS Light to shine in your life? Are you keeping it under a bush - hiding it until Sunday when you walk into the church -that's not the right way to live this life - we must be willing to give up our wants and desires so that GOD has HIS way in our lives and the lives of those around us - we can allow this world to dim our light from JESUS or we can allow HIM to cast HIS Light through our lives-
we are not here for ourselves but for others and for GOD!
Let the light of JESUS shine in your life today - the world around us needs HIM!

Word to the wise: If you want to shine for JESUS - you need HIS Light!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we have HIS light within our lives!

The Justifier

Romans 3:26
...To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifer of them which believe in Jesus!

We are all sinners - we all know this - just a quick look into our lives will show others we are not perfect on our own - but when we allow JESUS to come into our lives and change us - HE will do just that - Once we know HIM we will never be the same again! The old has gone - the new has come! Jesus is the justifer of our souls -
HE poured out HIS life on the cross for our sins - He paid the ulitmate price -
HE alone saves! We cannot do enough rightous acts to ever balance the scales in our favor - we were born into a sin-filled world - a place that is ruled by the enemy -
Many feel that sin is not a big deal - however GOD has the final say on that -
HE willingly sent HIS own SON to a terriable death - and seperation from HIMSELF to pay the price for sin - none of us could pay such a price - how many of us would give up their sons for someone who hated them - that's just what we did when we lived a life of rebellion against God - but JESUS came and justified us with the Father -
That was HIS mission - it was a rescue mission - Jesus paid the price - let's never tire of hearing that fact - many live lives that deny JESUS - many who call themsleves Christians are not really following the ONE TRUE GOD! They give lip service to this truth but they don't live it - it's so sad to see someone confess CHRIST and yet live a life contrary to HIS ways - now don't get me wrong -we will all fail - we will all sin -we can all sin at the drop of a hat - but JESUS is the one who took the penalty and placed it on HIMSELF - do you know the justifer today? If not you will have to stand before GOD one day in your own righteouseness - which is never gonna be enough!
JESUS paid the price -won't you put your trust in HIM today?

Word to the wise: JESUS SAVES - don't forget you cannot save yourself!

ONE

John 17:21
That they all may be one ; as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent me......

Jesus had one single desire - this was what drove all that He did - That was - that He and His followers would be one just like HE and HIS FATHER are one! Sure He also saved mankind from their sins - but that was not the only reason HE came - He wanted unity in His Body! He wanted the church and those in the church to be one - one mission - there is one bapistim - one Spirit -and HIS people should be one - one cause going in one direction - Jesus longed for all of us to be one - He longed for us to have that intimacy that He had with His Father - He wanted to share that - it's too bad that often commuities are formed in churches to decide what color the carpet or paint should be and people get into heated debates about this - and it turns into an angument-
in this there is no unity - we are not to fight within the church -we are to give of ourselves and in that become one with those who attend church with us - Chruch should be totally unlike the world around us - it should be a safe oasis for peope -
but sadly in many churches this does not happen!
JESUS wants us to be one! This was His goal - to bring us into a realtionship with the Father through the Son! Are you seeing unity in your church? We are all a part of the body of Christ! Let's go be one with HIM and each other!

Word to the wise: If you want unity in your church - be the the one who gives up what they want so the whole church gets what God wants!

All These Things

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you!

God has a plan for each one of our lives - HE knows what HE is doing - even when it seems like HE is not acting on our behalf - the truth is HE Loves us with an every lasting love! A love we cannot understand - He has some things HE wants us to do -
HE wants obedience - yes HE sent HIS SON to die for our sins - but that does not mean we should just live a life of sin - that does not glorify God - many will call that old fashioned and not hip - but it matters more to honor GOD then to be popular -
do we seek HIS kingdom first? or is this temporary world more important - before we answer we must look at our actions - we must also look at our hearts - GOD looks right into our hearts and we cannot hide anything from Him - He desires a close relationship with each of us - HE Is big enough to love all of us at the same time!
When we do what HE says our lives bring HIM honor - if we don't then we dishonor Him - the main issue these days is the economy - many are worried about their jobs - and their families - which is understandable - but we must trust in our true source of life - JESUS CHRIST! HE is our provider! When we seek HIS kingdom first all these things will be added to us - we must believe HE can do what HE says HE can do -
or else we will fail in this life - we must trust the ONE who gave us all we need!
Are you in need? Seek HIM first - are you sick - Seek HIM first - HE wants us to seek HIM and HIS kingdom before anything else!

Word to the wise: When we seek HIS kingdom before anything else - we will lack nothing! (this does not mean we won't have needs!)

HIS PEACE

John 14:27
Peace I leave you, My peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid!

It's great to be back! I took a whole month off and I feel so much better - I feel ready to once again talk about JESUS and what HE means to me - and in this I hope to help each one of you - I have been in prayer - I have taken some time off to recharge -
GOD is good - so with that said - let's get started!

Today's verse talks about peace - but a peace not like the worldly peace we see -
it's a peace that goes deep - a peace that stays - a peace that changes us!
it's the peace JESUS gives to us - this peace is not superficial - it's not a feeling - it's a lifestyle - HIS peace is not like the world's definition of peace - the world says that if you have money - if you have fame - if you have popularity - then you have peace -
However the equation does not work -- only JESUS gives us true lasting peace - a peace we cannot even begin to understand !! Maybe today you would say you do not have that peace - you need to ask yourself why not! Jesus freely gives us HIS peace when we ask HIM to - when we accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR then this peace comes with it - sometimes circumstances of our lives will not be peaceful - but knowing JESUS through the trial - you will have peace that the world cannot touch!
Nothing can take HIS peace away - your circumstances may be bad - you may "Feel" down and alone - but that does not mean GOD is not there - HE just wants us to trust HIM! May the peace that passes all understanding fill your life today and forever more - the world cannot compare to what JESUS gives us - know the ONE who gives us real peace - live your life for HIM and you will have peace - notice I didn't say all your trouble will go away - you will have new trouble - but JESUS will bring the peace!

Word to the wise: True peace comes from having a personal intimate relationship with JESUS CHRIST!

OBEY

Colossians 3:20
Children, obey your parents in all things: For this is well-pleasing unto the LORD!

Today's verse may seem to directed at children and parents - but it's much more than that - it's a command - we often forget this when we have disagreements with our parents - let's face it - they are human as much as we are - when you reach a time in your life when both of your earthly parents have left this world - it is hard to understand that we won't have an oppuntity again this side of heaven to obey our parents - but we can obey them even in their absence - since it's a command of God to obey our parents we are to live lives that please them - the best way we can do this is live in such a way that pleases our Heavenly Father - that should be our chief goal in all we do - if your parents are still with you in the here and now - well today you can obey them even if you have not for years - today you can reconnect with them - not communicating with your parents is not a good thing - maybe there is a wedge there between you today - if so - bring it GOD right here and now - let the sun not set again until you have patched things up - it's that important - what those of you who say your parents did a terrible job in raising you - or if you believe they don't deserve you obedience because they were not there for you - the WORD offers no such exception to get out of obey them - The Word does not say obey them when they are worthy of it - or if they have earned it - it just says do it! We must obey - now there are cases when a parent is abusing their child - that child does not have to obey in such a way that harm comes to himself - remember that abuse is not right and it's not supported by GOD! We are to obey our parents - right now - there are no options!
God is our Father - we are to obey HIM above everyone else!
Are you living a life of obedience to GOD and to your parents?

Word to the wise: Obey your parents - For one day you may
have children that must obey you!
