Don't Miss God!



We are in a desperate need as The Body of Christ to remain focused! The world needs us. I truly believe we have forgotten that. In the midst of us looking around in disappointment, we fail to look up and stand out in the Hope that we received through Christ Jesus! Communities can be healed. Celebrities can be delivered. Prisoners can be set free. Whether it be mental prisons, emotional prisons holding on to things that happened ages ago or physical prisoners, Jesus Blood can penetrate a person's lowest shame and make him new! I challenge you and me to start our morning AND night with this song. William McDowell's medley is a great worship song to release ourselves to God. Surrendering to God gives Him the mobility to use us for His Will. What is His Will? For everyone to be saved by sharing The GOOD NEWS. Jesus died and was resurrected to keep us from spending eternity in hell. Don't we want our world to get better? Well, we have to be better in order for that change to come. Didn't you know being with Christ is sacrificial? It shouldn't be looked at as punishment to give up certain things. Many times, the very thing(s) we are holding on to does us no good.

Are we really going to neglect spending time with God to check Facebook? Are we really too busy to pray, but can watch Scandal for an hour? It is vital that we show how awesome it is to be in Christ. If we barely talk to Him and care about this relationship, how can we convince others to form one? So, again I urge you to listen to this song morning and night. Hey, you may find yourself listening to it more than twice a day. I am believing that by doing so it will ignite the light that we have been dimming for so long. Withhold nothing!

Not my Will!



Here is a poem, better explained as a conversation we may often have with ourselves. The will to want to live for God battling our fleshy ways to want to practice the complete opposite. Funny, because as much as we try to live without Him, we realize how much we need Him. So, why do we run from someone Who loves us more than anyone ever could? Why ignore a God Who only wants the very best for us? Why lose faith in Someone Who never lies and always WINS! Jesus always comes out VICTORIOUS and so shall we once we live for Him. It is normal to have doubts because we are still in the flesh, but we can't set up camp in our fears or dwell on life's many obstacles. At some great turning point(s) in our lives, we have to say, "Not my Will!"



Not my will, but Yours will I follow.
Man, what a tough pill to swallow.
Knowing that people will hate you because of Him.
Are you really trying to let go of sin? Yes! Because a life of sin is broadly dim.
That is impossible! There are too many temptations.
Little white lies and pleasure filled sexual relations.
Is it really pleasure? Is sin really all that great?
Look around. Our world is full of it and we are in terrible shape.
That is why God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our filth.
Even He said, "not my will."
So, if The Son of God had to sacrifice, why shouldn't we?
If He gave His Life, then we are called to live to the same degree.
Why should we have it easy? He already promised us Heaven!
The Lord loves the righteous says Psalm 11.
How must I live righteous in such a evil driven world?
The same way as Jesus did. We are called to love every man, woman, boy, and girl.
Because it is not about us! Forget your comfort zone.
The Holy Ghost comforts us when we are weak HE IS STRONG!
Not my will Father because I have no sense of direction.
I am constantly lost without your help and protection.
NOT MY WILL. I don't want to keep running.
It is He who keeps me from stumbling.
Let us walk and not faint.
Keep our eyes on Christ.
Pray, Pray Pray!
That is the strongest way to fight.
Stay in HIS Will and not of our own.
Until one day we shall all be called one by one, HOME.
