My wife and I frequent a new restaurant in our town and have a good relationship with the owners and all the employees.
I asked our waitress one day if I could give her a devotional booklet that I give out in our church and she said she would like that very much. She also shared that she had not gone to church for a long time and some other things.
Well I gave her the devotional daily reading booklet the other day. Last night she shared that she had read it the very night that I gave it to her and also that she has been stressed out lately and it had helped her. She has shared several other things that lets me know that she is being drawn to the Lord.
My point in all of this is just that we never know what someone is going through or thinking about just by how they seem on the surface of their lives. We need to reach out in obedience to the still small voice within us that says ask them this or that or offer them this to read etc... Don't second guess it because they don't look like the would listen or receive what you are reaching out to them with.
The world has a saying "JUST DO IT!" You never know what God is doing!
Blessings on Ya!

When Thou Hast Brought Forth ---
Exodus 3:9-12(KJV)
9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
A lot of times we miss what was said in the entire conversation with God. Here is what I see that God said. What God was telling Moses to do was already done as far as God is concerned. God had said I have come down to deliver MY people. He had already identified with them called them His people and said He was about to deliver them. Moses was the one through God chose to work.
Moses questions God at every step and asks. Who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh?
It doesn't depend on who we are but who HE is and what He wants to accomplish through our lives. He would teach what to say and the victory doesn't depend on who you are, what talent you have, how you speak but the victory depends upon the Lord. Just say what He wants said, everything else is on Him. Pastors would do good to understand this. God is the deliverer and He has chosen you as one who will say what He wants said to the people that He wants to say it to. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
You see we are the called according to His purpose! I then with Paul, must apprehend that for which I have been apprehended.

Christ did not die to give people a career
The past holds tragedies. When doors opened for the Gospel, jealousy found Christian workers guarding their monopoly like diggers their gold-rush stake-out. Rivalries sometimes killed revivals. The harvest must not go unreaped while reapers merely defend their patches. Christ did not die to give people a career, or pas......tors a well-paid job, but to save the lost. Agreed? Please tell me. REINHARD BONNKE
Matthew 9:35 - 38 (KJV) 35And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Pray that God would send you.

The Gospel is Free
"You may pay for the book in which the Gospel is contained; for the
Church or chapel in which it is preached, for the minister who
preaches it to you . but, the Gospel itself is as free as the light
that shines, as the rain and dew which fall from above; as the air
which you inhale and as every other blessing of God"

God's Full Armor
God's Full Armor
Ephesians 6:10 - 18 (KJV) 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
This word of instruction comes to us as encouragement and how to have victory in our lives as Christians. Life comes at us fast sometimes and we can be stable in all the things that come our way.
We have the armor of God - the full armor.
The above scripture allows us to see where we are attacked in our lives. The battle is a spiritual battle.
1. There is a battle for truth in our lives.
2. There is a battle for the direction of our walk and the sureness of it.
3. There is a battle against our faith in the Lord.
4. There is a battle against our mind and our stability in your thinking.
5. There is a battle against our prayer life and it's focus.
In life we are sorely tested at times but GOD always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus.
God bless you and strengthen you and keep you by His power

Today is the Day
Today is the Day
The time we have on this earth for the most part is an undetermined thing for us. God knows how long we have but we take each day as a new day and should be thankful for it and in it. I was reminded of this in such an in your face way this weekend when my next door neighbor just collasped and died. He was visiting with his father, who needs constant care, not doing anything strenuous and his aorta detached and he died instantly.
That is why today is the day of salvation and not tomorrow when "I get around to it". Jesus Christ died on a cross for our sins. He who knew no sin became sin for us so we could become the righteous of God in Christ.
Romans 10:8 - 13 (NIV) 8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”£ 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Call on the Lord today while you have today and ask him to be your saviour...you will never regret it.
Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 (NIV) 11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
Don't put off calling upon the Lord - JUST DO IT!

Blessed in Christ
Blessed in Christ
Ephesians 1:3 - 8 (KJV) 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Where sin abounds in God's grace He super-abounds to us through Jesus Christ the Lord. He has blessed us with all that the Father has - all that the Son has done and all that the Holy Spirit can apply to us in Christ.
God thought about us before he ever placed us in our mothers womb to be born on this earth and declared us blessed in Christ... PTL

Disaster Response
Often the winds of a storm haven’t even stopped blowing when Convoy of Hope’s Disaster Response team rolls in. We are considered a “first responder” organization in disaster relief. With a fleet of tractor-trailers, a 300,000-square-foot warehouse, a Ham Radio Network, a high-tech Mobile Command Center, and by utilizing our points of distribution model we have become an active and efficient disaster relief organization by providing resources and help to victims of disasters. However, we do not go at it alone. We rely heavily on the faith-based community and national and state disaster relief agencies and organizations. We have also developed a disaster preparedness program to educate communities so that they can prepare for and respond to disasters.

Set Apart For God by God
From my early childhood I have never felt like I fit in anywhere in this world. I have always felt that I was an outsider. Even in the body of Christ I feel that I am set apart to God for God and His purposes. I have been frustrated at times because I march to the tune of a different drummer and I was always striving to be accepted by others and tried to fit their mold and live up to their expectations of me. Until one day I understood that God has given me Jesus to be my all in all and that it is that relationship, eternal in it's nature, that needs to be developed and cultivated. At this point in my life I care very little about the judgements of people on my life and my personality. I am set apart for God by God and my desire is greater and greater growth in that relationship.
God has called me and continues to equip me so that I am able to help to equip others. I have been discipled to disciple others for the kingdom work that must be done.
The Lord has requested that we pray the Lord of the harvest that He send forth laborers into the harvest, which is His. Even pray that He would send us for the harvest IS plenteous but the laborers are few.
Jeremiah 1:4 - 10 (KJV) 4Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Seek Those Things Which Are Above
Colossians 3:1 - 17 (KJV) 1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
When our affections are set on Christ, on the things that are above we will be like a couple that is infatuated with each other to the point where nothing else matters. Like a couple that is dating and even when they part ways their thoughts are constantly with each other. After parting wyas phone calls are made and texting (today)and they just can't seem to get enough of each other. When our relationship gets that way with God through Jesus Christ it becomes easy to see that we are in this world but not of it. The priority of heaven then can more easily become our priority. There is no king but Jesus!
Matthew 6:9 - 13 (KJV) 9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

One Time Event Affects Eternity
One time events can be far reaching events. Sometimes we think that everything has to be an ongoing thing. Events carry labels such as "First Annual--" or "Third Annual--" etc. Wethink perhaps that it carries more weight if it is done on an annual basis. Well that may be true in some cases but not in all cases. Read below of the one time event that still carries with it the eternal redemption of all who believe.
Hebrews 9:8 - 15 (KJV) 8The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:27 - 10:1 (KJV) 27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Jesus Christ died once for all for all times.

What's in Your Hand
What is in your hand? That is the question that God asked Moses and it is the question that He is asking you today as you read this post.
How you respond to God is what will determine the course of your life. If you lay it all down then God will make it come alive for you but if you hold it then it will remain dead. When Moses threw the staff down it turned into a living thing and God said to pick it back up. From that time on the staff of Moses was called the rod of God. It was used to do what ever God wanted to accomplish through Moses from that point as well.
We would do good to throw down what ever is in our hand so God can make it come alive and then we can accomplish whatever God wants done.
THINK ABOUT IT and don't hold anything back from God.
Blessings on Ya!
