What I am learning...

Would I be found guilty of prayer and worship to God?
When God test our faith He often puts us in situations where we can't find any other way out but Him. -No Escape
I can not forget about the power of God. When we are obedient and trust God He wil show up.
The inexcapable platform of pain provides the undeniable proof of faith. God can bring us through unhurt.

Wow... God is...undescribable. There are never any words that can truly describe Him. Why do we so often decide not to trust Him? We have seen so many times before that He takes care of it all even better than what we had in mind. Sometimes we even find ourselves trusting strangers before we trust God.. what is up with that?

Stand up person in a Bow down World

Alright, this was sermon that was preached awhile back and it is a good one too...

Fear can play a part of living for God or bowing down to something else. There is always a second, third, and fourth chance to compromise. Are you going to take those chances? Here are some examples...

1. We can't let ourselves get killed. Will you deny Christ if it meant you would lose your life if you didn't? God has the expiration date not man.
2. This is a foreign land. Even though they have a different culture and different beliefs will you change yours to show respect to them or will you stay true to yours? There is always a line to be crossed.
3. Lets bow down and not mean it. Bowing down is a sign of surrender. God is a jealous God.
4. Just do it one time. That one time opens a door for the enemy to come in.

Fear the eternal fire rather than fearing the temporary fire. Let your faith be fireproof! Worship God while you are in the fire.

Deliverance came through trusting. There is no other God who can deliver like our God.

What you see...

Ministry is about what you see.
Are you going to see it the first time? You are going to have to see past the natural and see it right away. Your definition of ministry is going to be tested. You can no longer look at things in the natural, you have to look with spiritual eyes. Not everyone is going to see what you see. They are not going to see what God has shown you. But you cannot let that take away what God has showed you. Just keep praying that God sees it and try to see it like God sees it. I want to see things through His eyes. You also have to be careful of getting tunnel vision and take a step back so that you can see beyond what is in front of you. God is much bigger than just what is in front of you.

This was a message preached awhile back, almost a year ago. It still speaks to me. I so want to be able to see things they way God sees them. I want to see myself how He sees me as well as others. I want to look at God's children as He looks upon them. I know I will always be tested because I have chosen to follow God. Therefore the enemy will bring all kinds of tricks my way to try to trap me in confusion, blindness, and worryiness of what God can actually do in and through me.

Who Am I?

O.k. so I came across this in my journal today and I just felt like putting in a blog because it is so bold!

1. Who am I?
- I am a child of God
- I am a daughter of the Kind
- I am LOVED by my Father
- I am a princess
* She is selected
* Held in high regard
- I am a warrior
* We have to fight for God, family, and friends
- I am a fighter
* We can't give up on our calling
- I am a servant
- I am a follower of Christ

Wow.... There is more in the journal entry but I just wanted write about this for now. I mean that is some pretty bold stuff, don't you think? Why can we not walk in that kind of authority everyday of our life? God says we are these things so why don't we walk in these things? I want to be that warrior, fighter, servant, princess that God has called me to be! I want to fight for what I believe in! I want to follow Christ with everything that is inside of me! I want to fully except the LOVE the God has freely given to me! I'm sorry God! For not excepting your gifts! Why won't I except them? I want them..... I desire them.... something is still keeping me from excepting them fully though.

More Walmart Fun!!

Hard times...

Why do we make it so hard to trust in God? He proves Himself time and time again with one situation after another and yet we still find excuses not to trust that He will take care of us. It is hard to trust in Him fully but its even harder not to trust in Him fully. We are just blinded by logic and what the world says we should be doing with our lives that if we do anything other than that we are not being smart and its not going to work. I'm tired of being weak and not staying strong in what God has promised me and believing God will provide a way. I'm tired of having doubt in myself and what God can do through me. I'm tired of being pulled back into my old thinking habits. I'm tired of having joy torn away from what God has blessed me with..... my life! I want to be strong enough! I want to be bold enough! I want to walk in the authority God has placed in my life! I know God has given me all of those things, but why can't I except them? Why can't I use them? I'm tired of not excepting blessing because I don't feel I deserve them! If you are reading this... I'm o.k I just wanted to get some things out.
