Would you Go ?

Genisis 22:1-8

after waiting 100 yrs without out his promised son, when he finally gets him God calls to Abraham & tells him to sacrifice Issac to Him & God would show him where to do it ..so what did Abraham do ..he got up chopped some wood,made a fire & took a knife ..and bounced ......

wow...think about it ..no hesitation .. none whatsoever, would u go ? would u have the faith?
would you go contemplating the situation every step of the way ?
would your heart be a peace with the decision ?

Abraham knew that it wasn't the sacrifice of his son that was pleasing to God but the sacrifice of his own heart .. (stop & think about that)
God was testing his faith ... How often does God test my faith & i fail ..over & over again...but God in all his power is willing to pour out GRACE (undeserved Favor) in order to teach me & show me how to be a person that is pleasing to HIM .. TO USE ME
Take the first Step ..He is our solid ground in an unstable world ...
Faith requires ACTION
dont be asscared (lol)
God will never bring you to a place with out providing all you need...
Get intimate with JESUS EVERYDAY ALL DAY
Get IN HIS WORD ..AND ALLOW HIM TO PROVE IT TO YOU ...

A crown covered in mud ...

1 Corinthians 1:26
Remember that few of you were wise in the worlds eyes ,or powerful or wealthy , when God called you . Instead God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise, and he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful.God chose things despised by the world ,things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important . So that No man can ever boast in the presence of God ...

think about it .. God in all his power can calm the sea , change the direction of the wind ,can raise the dead. why on earth would he ever want to use somebody like me ...or you
I'm the chief of all sinners ! Everyday i need him to go before me & plead my case . Every day i fail , every moment i need him because with out him i am nothing but a dirty crown .. I don't have wealth , I don't have a title or fame. I surrender all of me in his presence because i am privileged to trust him. ..
the cool part of this is in all my shame he palces a crown on my head and calls me his daughter ..
Royalty ! And even though its covered in mud he washes me in his word & calls me beautiful .
Ezekiel 16:8-14
so no matter what remember that hes always there even in ur darkest moments ..to brush u off & give you the desire to obey him & the power to do what pleases him ..Phil2 :13
let him lead you through this life ..

through the fire!!

I was listening to a study on radshach , meshach and abendigo In the book of Daniel .. (these where the 3 guys that got put in the fire for not bowing down to the kings golden statue) something stood out to me that was really cool ..in Daniel 3;25 it says.. look i see 4 men unbound and walking around the fire,they are not even hurt by the flames ,and the fourth man looks like the Son of God... you may think ok thats cool but how does that relate to me right now .. well isn't it true that we all go through fire and things in our lives that feel like fire .. but because these 3 men trusted God not that they were perfect or holyer then anyone else but they simply trusted God in every situation and God joined them in the fire .... YES YES YES thank you.. how good is it to now that when you are in the fire that is when people see JESUS ! Hes there to take you through it and reveal himself to the people around you .. its when you are going through tough times is when the attention of the people are drawn to you because they want to see how you react .. do you bow down and worship the things around you or do you trust that God will take you through ...'
love you

drowning ...

Have you ever felt like you cant breath and the things around you just don't end. Bills don't stop coming , trials don't ever end the water keeps getting higher and higher till it covers you completely. When you get to a place where you just cant stop crying because theres nothing you can do to make sense or even try and figure it out , you just throw your hands up ,head down and give up .. it sucks to be in that place no matter what the situation is.. .IT HURTS and ITS LONELY! I want to encourage you .. instead of crying to an empty room ..cry out to JESUS .. hes listening and waiting for you to give him your heart completely ...

Can you see it ??

Numbers 27 :12-14 ...now the Lord said to Moses , go up into this mount abriam, and see the land which i have given to the children of Isreal. And when you have seen it you shall also be gathered up as Arron you brother was ...

If you have read the whole story it talks about how God promised this land to his people when he delivered them from slavery in Egypt. Well The Isrealites were some bratty people they complained they were diobidient and Arron and Moses had to defend them before God so that he would not destroy them all.. Well Moses had his moment when he didnt believe infront of God's people and for that God told him that he would never enter the land which was promised..

Even though he could not enter ,I think this is soooooo cool that Gods grace would allow Moses to even see the land before he died .. Isnt that just like our God to show us grace even when we dont deserve it ..

I feel like God does that every day for me .. he allows me to see a glimps of what he has for me (even though i suck and dont deserve it ) His grace encourages me to keep going to try and finish this race ..

I pray that God's Grace would rain down on you and that you would see his promises come true !

armour up !!!

Use every piece of amour to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you can stand firm , stand your ground putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of righteousness...Ephesians 6 :13-14

I picture this is what my armor looks like (just add a few rhinestones) !hahah
Right now in this world is it a battle field , whether its with your own thoughts and struggles or with the people around you.. I know for me ive been in situations that i went into battle with just enough armor to get me out ... I HATE that , knowing how i feel but not being able to defend it .. Uhhh... have you ever done that .. Its like this election people are so passionate about a person and a hope that these MEN would give, that if you ever listen to your friends debate its funny because one usually get frustrated and backs down because they don't have enough facts ! Well its the same with our day to day ... get passionate about JESUS! He can give you A REAL hope. One that doesn't require a vote , he gives his freely because of his Son and what he did for us on the cross ! Dont back down and dont forget you have all the facts ... just spend time with him , he gives you your armor (how cool its like being knighted by the King) ..we are in a great partnership with him ... yippy!! I love you guys

Honesty from the heart..

But you require honesty from the heart, so that you can teach me to be wise in my inmost being. psalms 51 :6
Have you ever known or been one of those people who look like they have it all together .. they know how to talk they know what to say ... they act a certain way to make it seem like they are right on with what ever the situation calls for ... I was totally a person like that ... i was raised in a home with a great Christian foundation so i knew the words i knew the act ..blah blah blah
but what i didnt have was honesty in my own heart (wow that hurts to say ) It was easy for me to say one thing but hide and do another , even in the way i spoke my lips would move on there own.. lie after lie ... The less time i spent with God the easier it was to lie to my own heart. the desires of my heart were not real anymore .... they were damaging .. i was following my own desires and what felt or looked good in that moment ... God gives us the promises and desires of our hearts..HE has never spoken and failed to act, he has never promised and not carried through ... but he requires an honest heart that that requires you to step out of the way !! What i thought was a desire was nothing more then a selfish want ...
...I have put my hope in your word , my eyes are straining to see your promises come true ...psams 119 I cant wait !!!
