A Clean Slate

No matter how many times we mess up in life. No matter how many times we run off and live how we want to over what God provides us, Jesus is always willing to receive us. I know in life we get busy and we get selfish and most of those times we think we have control and forget that it is truly an illusion. You see every move that is made in sin that does not result in death just means you were protected by the Holy Spirit to not get the full wrath of that sin. The consequences may still happen to some degree but overall Mercy and Grace are granted to His Beloved. That is me and you.

When I start to get numb in life is usually when I realize I am missing Jesus. It does not mean I haven’t been in contact with him but it has had no depth. I let life get a hold of me or feelings and I run with those. They are so easy to blame for sin and in the end Jesus is always there and is always the answer. He has so much for us to gain and just asks us to show this through our faith. He asks for faith the size of a mustard seed and we could move mountains. My prayer is that I would start to have the same faith I have in the bus drivers that get us to our games and tournaments that I would start to have in Jesus!! COULD YOU IMAGINE?

I literally never asks the bus driver if they know where they are going or how they are going to get there. I get my team, get on the bus and say we are ready. I do not know their driver record, driving credentials or even how long they have been driving a bus. Yet I take my team and my safety in their hands and have faith they will get us to the right destination. Then we have Jesus who simply asks us to have a little bit of faith in him and we could move mountains. I have trouble with that faith because I get greedy in life and I want things to happen on my time.

Well no matter who we are or what we do,when we choose to repent and turn to Jesus, He is there with open arms ready to embrace us. I am there now, but I think I want to stay here for a while. A clean slate feels weird and almost like you shouldn’t get one but that is why Jesus did what he did for us. I know its been a while since I have written but you can get ready to hear more from me as Jesus does his work within. AMEN

One Love, One King, All Christ

As simple as a rainbow

Our world is filled with stories of chaos and sadness. It seems that around every corner we turn with anticipation for the worse. The virus has stormed the world but our souls are being stretched and torn as men believe within them self to be wise. Where is God? and Why isn’t He doing anything? We hear these questions a lot but forget to realize that many who ask that question do not pursue a relationship with God. Yes we want to know why God let that happen and we do not take into account that our actions put us in that situation. It does not take away from the tragedies we are seeing unfold and the pain that is happening but the hope is that we can turn to Christ in these moments.

It is very true when King Solomon says “there is nothing new under the sun.” We are experiencing a tearing up of society and what it means to be inhuman. We take into account what freedoms we have and who we want to win. We look at the words and actions and decided whether we will choose one or the other based on our choice. We can freely make choices even if we only agree with one thing that a person does versus the hundreds of other things that they don’t. And then there are the simple minded, as some like to call them. The ones who spend everyday looking to the sky awaiting Jesus’ return. The ones who know that the Rainbow was a promise from God and, in turn, make that their promise to follow and love God. Many of these simple minded people have been ridiculed and abused for most if not all of their life, yet still the pursue Gods love.

When will we realize in our complex minds that pursuing God’s love is what we are missing. I don’t say this to sound churchy because believe me if you look around the World today, those that pursue God’s love are murdered for it. When we make a stand for who Christ is and what his purpose is it will go beyond the rights and wrongs of a nation. When we read the bible we know that this Earth of ours will fall and we are living in a time when maybe we are seeing the start of it. Who knows?
The one thing I do know is we need to live that Christ is in us!!! Wait!! The Holy Spirit is in us so again we must realize the truth of the cross and the depth of our sanctification. You see it is not that we cannot sin, rather we should choose not to sin because of our relationship with the Holy Spirit. When He becomes real to you and you decide to make that your truth then you will start to see the change.

However, this change does not come with a simple belief that the Holy Spirit is in you. No, you must stay in God’s word and pray for transformation and the renewing of your mind. It is a combination of these things that will help you and guide you to seeing what Christ is calling for you to do. Simply placing memes or quotes about something you feel strongly about is worthless in this day of social media. Instead, ask God to place people in your life that you can share the Love of God with. Allow the Holy Spirit to do His will so that you may see him bring another to Christ or maybe just maybe add a friend to your crown of life.

One Love, One King, All Christ!

For The Lord

The promises of the Lord are many
He continually desires our hearts
His love for us is more than plenty
Constantly extinguishing those fiery darts

For the Lord God is a Warrior
For the Lord God is my King

His Holy Spirit resides in my soul
Longing for an intimate embrace
In tune with the Spirit makes us whole
Allowing us to experience His grace

For the Lord God is a Warrior
For the Lord God is my King

I want to be so in tune with the Holy One
That as I pass by each of His cherished
I pray deeply that His Will be done
And my shadow will heal where they were once perished

For the Lord God is a Warrior
For the Lord God is my King

There is no love that can match our Savior
He chose to be our ultimate sacrifice
He paid in full for our every failure
That we may enter Heaven, God’s paradise

For the Lord God is a Warrior
For the Lord God is my King
