Adventures: Day 4

I have a thought for you to ponder today. Visualize this in your mind as you read. Our Savior is on the cross slowly dying a miserable death. Now, think about this, we are supposed to strive to be like Christ. We are supposed to reach out and touch others and show them love. I have a learned a very important lesson this week about "selfless love." What is selfless love you ask? Well the answer is so amazing and simple yet it took me awhile to actually grasp it. Once you get it I pray that the emotion overwhelms you just as it did me. Jesus while suffering was still at work for His Father. Jesus, dying on the cross, still reached out to the thief beside him. Jesus never even complained or mentioned that He was suffering. He didn't say "OH, I just feel so bad." He was still fulfilling His Purpose while dying. That, my friend, is selfless love. When you can become so focused on God during your trials and suffering that you are still working for Jesus. Afterall, after we take on the role as Christian it's really not about us anymore is it?
Read Luke 23:32-43. Just focus on the story of Jesus dying and at the end the thief beside Him cries out for mercy and Jesus still answered.

That is how we should be as Christians. That should be the mind set we put on everyday when we wake up. Before your feet ever hit the floor pray for the love that Jesus had all the way to the end and go out and help someone. You will be amazed how quickly your problems intensity dies out. God is our ultimate healer, consoler, He's our best Friend. He's just waiting on us to let Him help.

I know today's adventure is not very long but it's very deep.

Day 3

God always provides a way when He calls you to do something. God will not lead you into a situation and leave you. He's always there, even when we make mistakes after He leads us He's still there. Obviously He knows we are going to make mistakes so He's allowed a more time in bringing us out. He has reserved a calling on your life that only you can do. Your calling is just as unique and special as was Jesus. John 15 Do not grow weary in doing good for in due time you will reap. Be faithful while doing good. God will take care of your stress, pain, exhaustion, stay in the Word and always pray. Isaiah 40:28 click on that I have learned for myself that If I make time for God as soon as I wake up then He makes time for everything else. B. busy U. under S. satans Y. yoke. Sometimes satans wants us to stay so busy that we don't focus on God. we only focus on our problems when if we would just look toward Heaven God will take care of our problems. satan loves it when we are not focused on God and we are in the "what about me" rut. It's not about us. Jesus said to lay down our life and pick up our cross and follow. If we know that we are going to heaven then we should lead others to Jesus. Jesus died for us so why not live for Him. Everything we do should glorify God in some way. Everything we do should show others what God and Jesus are about. I would hate to think that just because I had a frown one day it turned someone away from God or a cuss word slipped out in anger and someone judged me based on that. OUR race is long and sometimes tiring but God is at the end saying "come on my good and faithful servant, Your crown and rewards await you." Man, I don't know about you but I can't wait to see the look on my Father's face when my race is over to know that I made it. I was a good and faithful servant and my work was pleasing to my heavenly family. I can't wait to have Him wrap His arms around me. God is preparing you for something and you should take advantage of all the learning and power you can receive from Him. We have power in our words. There are so many scriputres that tell us to speak and it will be done. Not think about it or mumble it but say it like it is. Pray in Jesus name and send off those evil spirits. They have to obey, Jesus is their ultimate master.

I'm not judging you or anything like that I just want to make sure you know this. I would hate to think that I didn't share something that you needed to hear and Jesus got upset with me. I know that you know that going to church everytime the doors are open does not make you a Christian. I just have the urge to tell you that what makes us a Christian is our "personal" relationship with Chirst. We need to have the same kind of relationship with God that we have with our closest friends and family. We need to communicate often with Him. We need to take His advice when He gives it and we need to prioritize the relationship we have with Him. We need to have contact daily with Him. The more we seek Him and pray the more He speaks to us and guides us. We won't know what to do If we don't take the time to listen. For an example I get up every morning and start my day by either watching or listening to a service. I don't do anything for my kids during this time or michael for that matter, most of the time we do this together. At some point in the day I have my prayer time when it's just me and God and then I study some scriptures either by reading my Bible or looking at a Bible website online. On most days I have really good days in the Lord. I know that when I spend time with Him it energizes me. Reciting scripture is like speed. Remember that verse Philippians 4:13 I know you think I'm crazy but when I recited that daily it was like an energy boost. God healed me of my bipolar. I can't tell enough people about that. I felt His blood run through me that sunday at church. I have not had one manic or depression episode. I have another health issue that has been healed. I have no reason to be depressed when I know that my Redeemer lives in me and He controls everything, even the little things He cares about.

Adventures: Day Two

Hello, Today I woke up so refreshed. I started with my verse Philippians 4:13 . That is clickable to see the verse. Anyhow, this is just another day of proving that God's Word is energizing and powerful. If you say this and believe it it's power just consumes you. Yesterday I did tons of laundry cleaned my kitchen and all the rooms in the house. This was done in like 5 hours. I have never been one to clean and enjoy it but yesterday was so awesome. I am on a whole new level with God. I'm seeing things differently. I'm thinking about things differently. I can't explain it right now but I know as soon as someone comes that needs to hear It God will speak through me. I fall more in love with Jesus everyday. It's always something new and better than before. There's no drug or drink in the world that could match the power and "high" I get from Jesus. I'm completely free from worry, pain, and fear. I know that my Redeemer is everything and has everything planned out.

Adventures: Day One

First of all I want to say Thank you Jesus. Without Him Life would be impossible to handle. Secondly I would like to say His Word is alive and active in me. I woke up this morning in a new way, my father-in-law called me. This started my day and it's what opened up the can of blessings I have received. The last few days have been hard. Life is hard but it's even harder when confusion and discouragement set in. Today Xander and I were going over our new Bible verse for the week. Phillippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. I said it over and over so Xander could learn it. The power in that one verse hit me like a mack truck. As a follower of Jesus I can do anything because He's right behind me encouraging me and giving me WooHoo's when I think I don't deserve it. Then I read John 15:1-9. One particular verse hit me as well. Jesus wants us to have wonderful things, material things, spiritual things and more than that happiness. If we abide in His Word and His Word is abiding in our hearts then there's no reason we should be sad. His Word is our roadmap to success. In the end it comes down to just to places we could be at, Heaven or Hell. Now, I don't know about you but I sure don't want to spend eternity having satan laugh at me because I fell for his tricks and schemes. I want to be in Heaven and to get there I strive everyday to make my Creator proud that He made me. I am fulfilling my purpose that in itself it what brings happiness, contentment and peace. I have more peace about life than I have ever had before. I know that whatever happens Jesus is right there ready to pick up the pieces and put them back together. Today was an adventure of wisdom. Today I feel energized like I've taken a dozen caffiene pills. Only God can create that kind of energy or buzz. It's so powerful and yet peaceful at the same time. Can you imagine if God's word has that much power just when speaking it then how much more power does He have in Him!!! I can't wait to see Him and just..... I would be speechless taken aback in pure awe...... Just think about our Creator loves us so much He designed every detail about us. He knows every little quirk and tick we have. He knows because He created them. He has a very special purpose for each of us and I promise if you take up His word, surrender your control over to Him then your life will be so much more joyful, peaceful and complete. I promise you that. Dear Lord, I want to thank you for every thing that you have shown me. In your Name Jesus Ipray that others reading this will feel a settling peace in their hearts and know that You Love Them. Amen
