Whats on Your Agenda??

  • My Memory Verse: "The Lord will bless his people with peace." Psalm 29:11...... Let the peace come into our hearts, let God's word fill our soul, let His love motivated us to share "His peace" with those we see today!! For the Lord is our true source of PEACE!!
  • My Prayer Request: Lord, lift up those who may not understand it ALL, may not know you and the gift that you have given to ALL on this world... Yes, you came to save us from this darken world, this lost world!!!
  • My Quotes: "I am drawing a blank.... really, I got nothing"

Many of us are so guilty of becoming too busy.... fill everyday, every moment with something!!! I know that college students can't really help it they to fill and plan an agenda for the upcoming semester so they are one step closer to graduation.... it ok to plan, and make an angenda.

We have a personal list of what should be done today, but what should be done in our life!! Now your agenda may have all really good items; finish college, get married, find a house, buy a car, find that next career, and so on. Those are really good items to have on a agenda!!!! But don't be surprized if those aren't the only items!!!

You see, God has a big agenda for us too; He has his own list of items that He see us doing or should be doing!!! Those items listed above are reallly good, but God wants to add a little more, a few details to the items.... and thats ok!!!

In proverbs chapter 16 it tells us that "man plans his way" that we plan our day, our week, our year.... but its "the Lord who guides our steps" pushes us in the direction we wants us to go!!! Just like we have MORE than one friend; we can have MORE than one item on our agenda too!!! Don't be shocked if God steps into your agenda and "guides your steps" along the way!!

Are you ready to allow God into your agenda; into your heart, today??

Give Me Your Eyes Lord, So I May See

  • My Memory Verse: "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." ~James 4:7 NIV
  • My Prayer Request: Cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in this time on earth untill He comes
  • My Quotes: "when in doubt, read the instructions.... you know, that paper booklet you set aside."

We do this one simple task every day, in every moment of our life. We stop and judge things, people and stuff just by from what we see through our eyes! We all do, we try so hard NOT to but we end up think those thoughts from what we see, not knowing the real truth. We see a co-worker being promoted to the highest level, (thinkg about their work habbit, they don't deserve that position) again judging what only see, which may NOT be the whole truth. We are doing this without thinking while questioning others, co-workers, frined, family members and even God!!

This week I have been listening to "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath.... I must say its been drawing me closer to God, questioning myself and how I see with my eyes, how I see others..... I think we need to have new eyes, we need to change how our eyes see people! We need to asked God for his "eyes" so we can serve Him as a true disciple. After all God saw something different in Moses; a born leader, and saw something special in John; a born follower. God looks beyond the person, the clothes, the hair, the tattoo's, the harley davidson bike.... God looks with His "eyes" and see their whole heart!!!

We need to replace our "eyes" and become a true disciple, of teaching God's word with all whom we meet with! If your "eyes" see something, stop; don't dwell on it, let it go if the other party involve didn't bring what you saw to your attention; stop, don't worry. Its just like gossip; someone tells you a juicy story, (humanly, we want to tell someone else) but instead of telling, it stops in our mind by letting it go and NOT sharing it with others!!! We need to stop seeing what the world see's by replacing our "eyes" asking God to "Give Me Your Eyes" so we can see the truth in this world!

Are you ready to give God your "eyes" so you can start seeing the truth through this world?

"Do not show partiality in judging, hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it." ~Deuteronomy 1:17

The Last Supper

  • My Memory Verse: "For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves." ~Luke 22:27
  • My Prayer Request: I pray for my family each day as they continue to be there and my friends as they support & love even for all the random crazy things I do.... I keep praying for who many not understand this blog and/or know the true gift from our Lord; Jesus... I pray for these things in your will AMEN
  • My Quotes: "To boldly go where no Jesus Freak has ever gone before... I'll be back in time for dinner. ~Mr. Blake
Scripture:
Luke 22:7-34

Consider the following; what are the special meals in your family: Thanksgiving? Christmas? Sundays? Birthdays? Or could it be those love ones at the table? Having a meal with those who you love is important today; I remember that as a child that is wasn't the food (sorry mom) but the events at the table, fellowshiping, laughing and eating. It was also when my brother asked for a dinner role, who was at the end of the table; I thought to myself, why not throw it down to him.... I think in the end it was that priceless moment at the table together with each other, learning and growing as a family....

Many wondered why Jesus had a last meal with His disciples; it was His time to give one more moment, one more final teaching with His disciples; so they can continue to teach God's word with all nations!! Churches today have the last supper during Worship services; the Lord's Supper to "do this in remembrance of me"! Jesus took our place on the cross for our sin, because of the grace and love that God has for us, His children! How could we ever repay or come close to the price of His son taking our place on the cross?

Jesus was trying teach His disciples to be more like a servant to all those whom they meet. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we set aside a moment in our life, not just to eat the bread and grape juice, but to remember Him. Remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, remember the hope, that Christ will return, remember that Christ will make a place for us in heaven, remmber that even when we fall short, God is with us!!

Making it Personal:
In what areas do you find it hard to be like a servant?

We Are Free From This World

  • My Memory Verse: "So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him" ~Hebrews 9:28
  • My Prayer Request: We come in this darken world not only to live but to bring the light of Christ to save those whoever believes ion Him! ~Amen
  • My Quotes: This isn’t about us, the students… it’s about praying for the darkness on our campus.

I am reminded by a song "Free to be Me" by Francesca Battistelli with the words telling us were "free" to me..... free to be ourself!! But also we have another freedom; were free from this world by having Christ come into our life!!! Yes, the world could offer us some freedom in our life, but in the end the world's freedom lasts only for a short moment, not eternity!

Colossians 2:6-8

(v.6-7) Do we have a firm foundation? >> Just as we invite Christ into our life, we need to continue to grow in that relationship, "rooted and built up" strong to with stand the storm. So we need to have that firm foundation by 1) pleasing Him 2) bearing fruit 3) continue to grow each day 4) strengthen the faith department >> This will help us become "rooted and built up" so we can continue to be free with Christ in our life!!!

(v. Do you have your personal firewall active? >> While living in this world just a moment, we still need to have that firewall active.... Yes the world and satan will toss us anything in our face, hope they can pull us any from Christ and into their "deceptive philosophy" We need to come to Christ, dig into Him word to keep the faith, to keep the foundation firm so we can be free from this world!!! There are people out in the world that hate Christians.... its shocking but we need not to let that take us down, but rather keep going knowing that gift we have it truly greater than the world could ever offer!!

Are you ready to see and live this Freedom, today? This gift is for all, not just us but all those who seek Him and not seek the world..... Come to Christ and pray for His love, His guidance and His freedom that gives to all, even those in that did follow the world before!!!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~John 3:16
