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!

PLEASE READ and SPREAD the WORD!

I'm going to post this one more time your replies and results were great so send this on to as many people as you know! Well, good evening everyone I want to write on a subject that is heavy on my heart, Christmas for the needy! Statistics show that 83% of Americans spend too much money around Christmas time. I’m convinced that most of those people buy gifts for people that are a waist of money and will never be used! So I had a thought while some might not like it I wish people would respond to it! Instead of buying things for people that are not in need, buy for people that don’t have anything. There are Children and Families out there that will not have anything this Christmas and guess who can make a difference YOU and ME! If you contact organizations within your community they will need items for people throughout the holidays! Lets make a difference this holiday season in the our community and this Nation! With as much as this country has their is no excuse why people should be on the streets cold and hungry! It just doesn’t make sense to me! If you would just sponsor one family it would make a huge impact in many peoples lives! I pray that this message sweeps this nation! Forward or email to as many people as possible PLEASE! Love Jason

Saving Grace!

What's up! I pray your having a blessed day. I'm going to jump right in this afternoon to Acts 11:23 It says that Barnabas came and saw the grace of God. I wonder what the "grace of God," looked like. I bet it looked like what scripture said it did!! "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in the present age."(Titus 2:11-12) "God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) " But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not i, but the grace of God which was with me." (1 Corinthians 15:10).......Barnabas witnessed the grace of God in the Church of Antioch because he saw righteousness, humility and labors of love in the people of God. Grace is not simply an invisible blanket of God's mercy that covers us when we sin. Grace is the visible empowerment of God to save us from sin. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."(Ephesians 2 8:9)........A life that is lived in the grace of God will be one that says no to unrighteousness, that is humble and that is able to accomplish more than anything we can do in our own human strength for the glory of God. As a believer, those looking on at our lives should be able to see the grace of God. We all share the same spirit full of Grace, Mercy, and Love! Can others see the grace of God in your life? Wrestle with that I did that's why I wrote on this issue have a great day and let your light shine love Jason!

I hope everyone has a blessed day and remember ONE LOVE, ONE GOD, ONE WAY that's the bottom line cause Jesus said so!!! John 14:6 God Bless You! Love Jason

Tiger Nation.....

Well good morning to all and I want to talk about something close to my heart this morning "Clemson Football". I am absolutely pumped about Dabo Swinney getting the Clemson job! I think he is a Great Man and a Great Leader, he is a man of Faith and will not hesitate to talk about his beliefs to you! He is also a Great recruiter and I love his Passion on the sideline that has been something missing from this program for 10 years or longer and it's great to have it back! He will totally reorganize and change the way Clemson Football is viewed by the sports world! Let's face it we as Clemson supporters hate the way anouncers downgrade us as a team that chokes! However we over the past 10 years have blowed some big time rankings and totally slipped out of the ACC Championship picture! I know you say we have been so close which is true but almost only counts in horseshoes! I am tired of being close how about you! Let's back Dabo and watch Clemson Football become a national powerhouse like it was in the 80's! Go Tigers Yaba-DABO-DOO
