The Bigger Picture

"Aaaaaaah", This is how I feel right about now. Its so important not to look at our current situation through carnal feelings, thoughts, or lens. We need to look at our situation through the lens of Jesus Christ. Looking at the bigger picture of what God is working out in our lives. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9. If we could just have the mind of Christ. If I could just have the mind of Christ and keep my mind on him, I would be in perfect peace. And I wouldn't feel like screaming! :) God renew my mind, renew the Church's mind. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ..Prove? How do you prove the will of God. You can only do this if our mind are renewed in Jesus Chirst; so if our minds are renewed than we will be walking in the Perfect will of God!!. God renew my mind. Renew the Saints mind, don't let us stray from your word. Don't let us be conformed to this world...for it isn't our home. We are just pilgrims passing through. Amen.

Truth in the inward parts

Its September, College is fully in session. I haven't written in my blog, in a while, between my busy summer and school, I didn't take the time out to write. I have a few things on my heart. Something that the Lord's been dealing with me about. Or maybe its something I'm desiring for God to do in me. In Psalms 51, Its says that God desires truth in the inwards parts. The bible says, that Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. This isn't some amazing revelation, so my desires lately is been to have Jesus in my heart. Sometimes, we think if we just ask God to come into our hearts, he will. Maybe this was the case, when we first God saved, but as we get older its gonna taking more than just asking. Were going to have to seek him with everything we have. Asking Jesus to come and fill our hearts with is love and his characteristics. The songs writer says, I rather have Jesus, than silver and God. But this has to reality to us. Just as real as school, church, hobbies, or anything else we do. As Christians do were desire truth in the inward parts? Do we want Jesus in our hearts? Do we understand all that means? Jesus Christ, the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world, Jesus Christ our redeemer, Jesus Christ our Savior, our deliver, Jesus Christ our friend. Do we desire him in our hearts?

Making Jesus real again

I know its been such a long time since I posted something on this blog. I was in North Carolina for spring break and I just came back from Texas. I had a great time in NC. I had a amazing time in Texas. The word of God was on point for all the services. It was just a confirming a lot of things that God had spoken to our ministry and to my life specifically. God was saying through the pastors that we need to make sure there is NO bitterness, unforgivness or any other sin in our hearts in order to be free. Satan desires to bounds us Christians so we won't reach the lost. How can we speak about God being a deliver or a healer? If us Christian are bound and spiritually or physically sick like any other person. This Gospel has to be real to us. We have to make Jesus real again in our lives. We have to lift him daily in our lives. In psalms it says "The fool hath said in his heart there is no God" This verse is stated twice in Psalms. This verse is not only for sinners, but for Christians as well. With our mouth and mind we may confess Christ, but our actions deny him. When I was in Texas, I was thinking about the city of Philadelphia and the college campuses. How God wants to reach them through his people, but if he can't break us and do a work within us...What makes us so different from those who aren't saved? God must be made real in our lives again.

Love is a Sacrifice

A couple weeks ago, the Lord laid a brother in Christ on my heart. I felt like God wanted me to love him with his love. During the prayer time, God had me feel his heart and I began to cry out for him. A couple of days later, I began to complain and murmur, " Why does God always lay people on my heart that are hard to love or people who don"t return God's love". God dealt with me afterwards by dropping questions in my spirit... " What would be the point to love a person with my love if the person loves you back? It would't be the love of God. You would't be able to see me working in the situation because you would be relying on your own love. When you love someone with God's love, you are sacrificing your emotions, your heart, and everything else. The scripture says, " For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them that which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same". Luke 6:32-33. The love of God goes beyond human capability. God's love takes patience, long-suffering, humbleness, meekness and strength. Let that be our prayer that God would help us to love everyone with his love. That as a people of God we wouldn't be so quick to judge and find flaws. Just as Jesus looked beyond our faults and saw our need for him that we can do the same.
