Move, Proof, Happy, Me...

Overcoming fear
In the Gospel of Mark we read….. He said to them, Let us cross over to the other side’…. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, Teacher you do not care that you are perishing? Then He arose and rebuke the wind, and said to the sea, peace, be still!

And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith? And they … said to one another, which this can be, that even only in life storms:

Here are two lessons you learn only in life’s storms:

1)         You must trust what God has told you. When Jesus said, let us cross over to the other side’ there wasn’t a big enough wave to take them under, no matter how threatening. What has God promised you? Standing on that won’t keep you from getting scared or soaked, but it’ll keep you from sinking.

2) You must remind yourself who’s in the boat with you. If the Lord can calm a storm,  He can prevent one. So when He permit you to go through storm it’s to show you that you don’t have a problem He can’t solve; that you may many be powerless in the situation but He’s not; and that through this experience you’ll come to know him in a way you have never know him before.

So learn these lessons well and come out stronger on the other side.

Gospel, He, God, You...

Photo: So what is an outsiders view on God. Why are so many turned off to Christianity?  Why do others seek to twist and turn the gospel? Perhaps it is the rules of the religion itself? Perhaps many people choose to believe that God is just sitting on a cloud somewhere looking for any given reason to send people straight to hell?

First, The things noted in The Bible that pertain to our behavior, They are not snares designed by God to entrap us. So okay, What is the "moral code" put in the bible for exactly? Have you ever told your children to not touch the hot stove or he / she will get burned? Okay, All the rules in the bible are there for the same reason we tell children not to do certain things. Why do we teach our children right from wrong? Simple. We don't wish for them to face the consequences brought on by a bad decision. The Bible was not made to condemn. It was however inspired to show us that as a result of us given free choice, that each action we take, Be it good or bad has a consequence. This is where The Bible ties in and relates to our realities that we all face today.

So in a public belief mindset, The notion is increasing that the bible is too constricting. People now are starting to favor a live for the moment strategy. Sometimes you get a random thought in your head and the taboo of it is too much and you explore it further. When you first try it, You are on cloud nine because you enjoyed the hell out of it and you swear you won't turn back. You don't know why you didn't try this questionable taboo behavior before because you enjoyed it so much. You think about your actions and think they might not fit. You can tell something is not right. You finally find yourself in a state of doubt that leads to confusion. So to make sure and to regain the euphoric feeling you had before to reassure yourself, You explore the taboo further. but you aren't trying to give up the flame of interest that took you to where you are. You fight to regain that same level of pleasure as before. You all of the sudden find yourself doing things that you nor anyone else thought you would do before. You finally realize the position you are in. You don't know what the hell is going on, You feel lonely as you feel to embarrassed to tell friends or family about what you've been dabbling in. Shame takes over. You feel trapped. Like no one understands or that everyone is against you and you feel out of place and that you don't belong. You get desperate, You search for validation. You search for the answers within where you are in your life and you cannot seem to find one.

The scenario I posted above can apply to many situations. Anywhere from drug abuse, Prostitution, Same sex relations, Gambling, Alcoholism, You name it. It can apply to many kinds of situations. It is one that applies to the lost. This is also known as the downward spiral. If people do not get off of it in time and they reach the bottom, That's it. It's all over with. The show is over. I know this because I have seen it happen to a few people I have known. If you recognize that you are on the path as described above, You are already in the red.

You are not hated. You are not disregarded. You are not being judged. But instead, You are being warned. I have seen so many people go down this lonely dark road for many different reasons. But the results are always the same. Yes it is a prison. A prison of isolation and confusion. This very same prison also carries a death sentence. Very few people get a stay of execution.

The Bible is the way out.

Good Morning Family; please allow me to pray,
Father God, in the name of Jesus, we come to you this morning as humbly as we know how. Here we are to worship; here we are to bow down. Here we are to declare that you are our God and lift up your name. We praise you above all on the earth and above every being in the heavens. For You are the Almighty, all-powerful and all-knowing God that we come to, for we know that there can only be one.

You hold us in your hands and watch over us. Therefore, right now Lord God; we ask You for forgiveness for what we have done, said or even thought. Thank You for shielding us and loving us. Thank You for Your tender mercies and your firm chastisement. Thank You for reminding us of who you are and who we are. Without you Lord God, we are nothing.

Please continue to strengthen us with Your power. With you, we are forgiven, blessed, and victorious. Through the blood of Jesus, we are made righteous. Lord God, if we had 10,000 tongues, we could not thank you enough for saving our souls and carrying us through this life. We thank You, we thank You and we thank You some more! In Jesus' name, this is our prayer to You. Amen, Amen and Amen. God Bless You All; Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.

Good Morning Family,
2 Corinthians 5:15 Says, "And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again."

Let me start off by saying to this morning that it is believed that there were about 5,000 believers during the time of Christ. Among those believers, it was thought there were three types. The largest number of believers were those who came to Jesus for salvation. They served Him little beyond coming to Him to receive salvation. A much smaller number, say about 500, actually followed Him and served Him. Then, there were the 12 disciples. These were those who identified with Jesus. They lived the life that Jesus lived. Each of these ultimately died in difficult circumstances. They experienced the hardships, the miracles, and the fellowship with God in human form.

Let me ask you this question family; If you had to say which group best represented your life, which one would you fall into - the 5,000 who simply believed, the 500 who followed and sought to implement what they were learning from the Savior, or the 12 who identified completely with the life and mission of the Savior? I want you to know that Jesus has called each of us to identify with Him completely.

My prayer this morning is that God will allow each and every one of us to walk as Jesus did and experience the power of His love in our lives so that others will see the hope that lies in you and me. Amen, amen and Amen. God Bless You All, Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
