Freedom!!!!

Wow! today has been great. First I would like to share with you how awesome my day has been. I got up this morning and went and cleaned our children rooms at church. My son is so awesome he is only 5 years old but he helped me this morning with everything. It’s amazing how much of a servant’s heart he has to be so young! The highlight of my day was talking with a staff member. I am so thankful for her she always smiles regardless of the situation she prayed for me and rocked my world. We all need people we can count on. We need to pray for them as well. Prayer works! I am telling you it works! I am going to be talking to you today about freedom! My dad has been in Federal Prison since I was 14 years old I am 26 now so it’s been tough not having him there. However I believe with all my heart it saved his life and he is closer to Jesus than he has ever been. He has been on my mind and I want to talk about Prison. It’s a different kind though. I want to talk to you about imprisonment to fear, possessions, lifestyles, and money. Are you in bondage Is it your past that haunts and controls you. I believe Rick Warren made a good point when he said “We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.” It’s true on this very day it can be lifted from you. Is it fear that holds you back? He also had an awesome definition of fear. Fear is a self imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be! That has been true in my life. One verse has helped me with fear Joshua chapter 1 verse 9. It says “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” That’s so true he never leaves. You see Fear can be a lifestyle that is dangerous if you live in Fear you will never succeed! We have to take steps in our daily lives and take them with no Fear. You see possessions control a lot of people’s lives. You see today’s society tells you the more things you have the happier you will be. That is a lie from the pit of Hell. If you count on possessions you will always be empty! I’ve been there trust me. Money is the key factor behind this mindset you think the more money I make the happier I will be this is another lie! I’m not saying it’s wrong to have money or nice things I’m saying if they control you its wrong. Do you need to change somethings? Are you down in the dumps and feel heavy?Are you trying to hide something from God or hide your face from him? I’m going to give you a scripture to read, 2 Corinthians Chapter 3 Verses 15-18. See Jesus can provide freedom! The question is are you willing to ask him for help! I did and he has rocked my world I pray you do the same. Take time to pray for Prisoners today! Especially those who are imprisoned to the things I’ve talked about! I Love You Guys Have a Great Day! Jason

Greenville!

I felt like crap this morning and did not even want to do outreach in Greenville. I wanted to sleep in and be lazy. Here is the deal I made a commitment and had many goals set to achieve today. I thought, what if Jesus while getting spit on and beat beyond recognition would have give up! We would still have no way to God. He didn't he pressed forward and kept getting up every time the Roman soldiers would knock him down. PASSION is what he showed! I got up went to the gym. Me and my wife whom I LOVE VERY MUCH got the kids ready and i was in Greenville at 8:30. I thank Jesus I got up and did not give up! Lives were changed today and people met Jesus for the first time. Jesus also rocked my world today! Oh! and just to let everyone know WE LOVED ON EVERYONE we listened to them and did not throw Jesus in there face. If you let them see Jesus in you through the Love you show. They will open up and pour out there heart to you. Screaming at a lost soul for acting like a lost soul is pointless! Although there is such thing as tough love! Jesus! Remember one life at a time! I Love You Thank You for reading!

Pain!

What’s up world! Jason here to share some things about my day in general and what I learned in my devotional time as well. Today has been great my son has been so good. He helped me with his baby sister she went to the doctor yesterday for her 4 month old check up and has been very upset and sore today from the shots. I have been doing clothes, playing games with my son and cooking it’s been a great day. I work on the weekends and keep my kids through the week it gets better and better. Well anyway enough about my day in general. My devotional today rocked my world I read about passion. If there is one thing I love to learn from and apply to my everyday life it’s to be passionate as Jesus Christ. He sacrificed it all to save mankind and make us right with God. All we have to do is except him. He was tempted, spit on, criticized everywhere he went and he still never looked away from his purpose. To die for our sins and make us brand new. I did not like watching my little girl get her 4 shots yesterday she screamed. I felt hopeless I can’t stand seeing anyone in pain especially my kids. Then it hit me her pain was from shots that help protect her from diseases. If she did not get them she could become very sick. She went through pain but ultimately it will protect her in the future. That’s how the people in the world that don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus end up. However the pain they go through they put it on themselves Jesus has already went through the pain for you. They would rather not except the free gift of salvation Jesus offers. They would rather go through hell everyday and use drugs, alcohol, sex. Things they try to fill that void in there life with. I know this because I was one of those people but in February of 2004 Jesus rocked my world and set me free. I haven’t been the same since. He put a passion in me to reach the lost no matter what stands in my way! One question for you and I’m finished do you know Jesus if not I would love to tell you about him and what he did for you. E-mail me or leave me some info in the comment section and I will get back to you. Love You Guys! Jason

Wow!

Hello world! Today I will be talking about criticism. It amazes me when lives began to change and people get involved in church that used to hate going. They had a drug problem! They had to be drug to church on Sunday and drug to church on Wednesday (Ha! Ha!) Jesus begins to move throughout the community and draw people to church and its wrong to some people. What is wrong with people criticizing another church when there church has not grown in 10 years? I used to get mad at critics but now I love them. They make me want to do more for Jesus! I’ve come to realize if your not getting criticized your not doing something right. I am a member of a fast growing hard working church and the criticism we get is awful. We get criticized by more churches than we do anybody else and that’s sad. We get all kinds of comments from people who have never walked in the doors to check out what Jesus is doing. They jump to conclusions and make up there on lies about it. That’s what most of them are lies! Scripture says that Satan is the king of lies. One place I always go to get advice is the word of God. I realize that Jesus got criticized everywhere he went. He got criticized when he healed the sick, and raised the dead. You know what’s funny the people (Pharisees) that criticized him were not even there to see what he was doing. They just jumped to conclusions and got angry because they were religious but could not perform such things. They could not take credit for what Jesus was doing and they got pissed! One question for you Did Jesus let them slow him down? The answer is NO! So why should the growing churches in America. As long as the Gospel is being taught and everything is about Jesus it will continue to grow. A move of God cannot be stopped! So next time you get criticized for following Jesus and being obedient don’t argue just smile! Have an Awesome day!
