Forgive Part 1?

“When they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals-one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.’ And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.”(Luke 23:33-34, NIV) The last thing Jesus taught was to forgive. He had been abused and rejected when He came to die in our place, yet He still chose to forgive. He could have forgiven us without a word, but Jesus chose to say it out loud. Is there someone you need to forgive today? Remember in order for us to receive mercy we have to show mercy! Jesus Christ Rocks I Love Him!

In God we TRUST!

Hello! Trusting God is a great adventure. He initially ask us to offer up all that we hold dear and find security in, for the sake of following him. In Genesis 12 we learn this through 2 commands God gives Abram “Leave” and “Go”. Take some time to study Genesis 12 and pay close attention to what God told Abram! Was Abram disobedient or did he trust God enough to just do it? Did he give God the Heisman or did he do as he was instructed? Did he “Leave” and “Go”? Is there an area in your life that you need to leave or is there a step you need to take closer to God? Wrestle with these questions I did and it rocked me! Enjoy your day!!!!

Real Man or NOT!

Have you ever noticed how our society has a way of turning things upside down? The gender roles are a good example. The feminist movement during the last three to four decades has tried to make women more like men, and men more like women. It has equated equality with being the same. Men have lost their identity. Being a man is not sleeping with as many women as you can(THAT”S A DOG) or hanging out with your buddies at the bar or better yet let’s take it a little farther, being a Man is not surfing channels on TV and barking orders at your wife and kids and this usually happens on Sunday’s! A true man as described in the bible is a man who is willing to love our wives as Christ loves the church. (Ephesians 5:25) That means even dying for her. That is the love God expects out of us! Have you loved lately? Be a Man and lead your family! More than anything love God!!!!

Random Thoughts!

Hello to all! I am fixing to head off to a wedding! So what do I think makes a great marriage? The first thing is Jesus Christ has to be the center of the relationship! The second thing is you gotta have a date night, a lot of couples say I do and then they don't anymore! Third thing The Man is the leader so Men lead, and Women submit yourselves to your Husband(Jesus said that) but don't be a door mat, your husband must submit to God! The fourth and final thought and it may seem a little straight forward but that's just me HAVE AS MUCH SEX AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN! SEX WAS CREATED BY GOD AND ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING WITHIN MARRIAGE! SO MAKE SOME BABIES OR YOU CAN JUST PRACTICE THAT'S THE FUN PART!!! LOVE JASON, DO SOMETHING RADICAL TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait Part 2!

Now for Part 2 on WAIT this is also by Craige Lewis! Here we go are you ready, this is off the chain!...... The problem with waiting is a lot of times based on what you are waiting for. Although the scriptures tell us plainly that if you wait on God you will be exalted and shall inherit the land, we must realize that this should not be the reason we wait! You don’t wait on God just because you know that if you do, he will exalt you one day. If you do that, then you will find yourself with the “Look at me now” complex and you will seek to get from God for your own glorying purposes. You should wait because during the waiting period, you can learn of him and be close to him. God wants a relationship with you, not based on what he can do for you, but what he means to you! We are taught so much that we should give with expectancy or we should wait knowing that in due season we will be exalted. And even though these things will happen, we should not seek them to happen. That is a very selfish way to live and you will not reap the benefits of knowing God intimately if you live only for what god will do to you. God wants people to have the attitude like the 3 Hebrews boys. They knew God could deliver them, but there attitude was, “if he doesn’t” we want bow! They loved God to the point that they didn’t care what happened and that’s why he exalted them. God has a great blessing for you and much in store for you. I’m a living witness that if you wait on him and his perfect plan for your life to unfold, he will bless you. But while I waited, I never looked for the day he would exalt me. I only desired to be close to him and because I got close enough to be trusted by him, he blessed me tremendously. Please people of God, hear my heart. It’s definitely okay to know that things will get better for you. But please make sure God is more important to you than your own desires and accomplishments. Make sure you are not using God for what you feel he can give you, but you are serving God because you love him and want to do what’s right!

Wait Part 1!

This guy (Craige Lewis) is off the chain and there are 2 parts to this devotional reading. The title is WAIT so let’s jump right in this morning! Psalms 37:34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. How many times have you gone to a restaurant to eat, but once inside you heard there was a long wait so you left and decided on something else? Or what about having something in your hand at the register of a store, but putting it down and deciding to do without it because the wait to check out was so long. Have you done this before? Well, those times are very understandable and you can always eat there a less crowded night, or buy that thing somewhere else. But in our get it quick society, there are times when we make huge mistakes in the spirit realm because of our lack of patience. We begin to get anxious for things and we want to move the hand of God by our actions rather than wait on his divine plan. Our human nature craves things instantaneously and this can cause us to make some big mistakes in our walk with Christ! Abraham had Ishmael because he couldn’t wait on Isaac. And many of us are constantly giving birth to illegitimate visions, ministries, and churches because we could not wait on God’s plan instead we try to do it and it fails! We got out of his line and did something else because the wait was too long or we just basically decided to go somewhere else to get what we felt God wanted for us. This is not a good place to be in. Although our flesh cries out for certain things, we must learn the first attribute of Love which is patience. If you truly Love God, You will seek his face and wait to do things in his timing not your own! God hit me with this last night that’s why I had to Post it! Wait Part 2 comes Tomorrow Thank you Connie for being obedient, it rocked my world! With Love Jason

Look Up!

When you placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your ETERNAL Savior, God forgave all the offenses you committed against him, adopted you in his AWESOME family and gave you an inheritance that he, himself, stands guard over in Heaven for you. God also filled you with the presence of the Holy Spirit, who has energized you for special service to God and ministry to everyone your life touches. This makes you special to God both relationally and functionally. Some days if your in ministry you may feel like giving up or like everything you touch doesn’t go as planned! Press on and move forward like Jesus did, carrying the cross wasn’t an easy task either. He could have stopped every time he got spit on, mocked, beaten and just give up, but his Passion to do what only he could do “save the world” gave him the very strength to keep going! So when the days seem long remember you are a child of the most high and he reigns over everything. There is nothing our God can’t do, I’m living proof! I deserve hell but he shows me mercy, thank you Jesus Christ! To all my peeps I Love each and every one of you remember ONE LOVE, ONE GOD, ONE WAY(John 14:6) with Love for all Jason!
