Wow, has our economy gone crazy or what?
These really are times when it looks like we are going right from the “frying pan in to the fire” with a 700 million dollar bail out the goverment in Washington want the tax payers to pony up to wall street taking a 777 point dive.
what in the world is happening?
I am sure that is what Daniel thought, that brother not only had to face the fiery furnace, but a den full of lions. And consider Joseph, he persevered through man years of distress, betrayal and famine. And Moses trapped between the Red sea and pharaoh’s army; the red sea did not part itself.
In every situation God delivered them. In his timing, at just the right time, The Lord is always faithful.
Psalm 20:4-9 May He grant you according to your heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions, now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright. Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.
WILL YOU AGREE WITH ME AND FOR ME IN THIS?
My Prayer,
Heavenly Father; I come to you in Jesus name and ask you to forgive me. I agree with you full that I have not been faithful in the stewardship of those things that you have entrusted to me. In use of my time and in the tithing of the income that you have provide me with, Lord forgive me for not trusting you to be my sustainer and provider, help me to be the man that you have called me to be through the power of the Holy Spirit. Give me your wisdom Lord in all matters. And grant me the peace that only you can bring.
I pray that I may be a reflection of Jesus and bring glory and honor to his name.
In the name of Jesus I pray.
Amen

Sometime ago I was talking to a friend of mine from yahoo 360, and we were discussing how children take for granted the daily operations of a household and never question the how and why of the way things work. Or even show gratitude, they just expect certain things to work or be in place as expected with out exception. They take us; and what we provide for granted never expecting it to end.My thought was if I could go back with knowing what I know now I would have been a much better son and helped out more around the house, to help keep the house clean and tidy, basically cut my Dad a well deserved break for tending to all my childish wants and desires.
I guess this all stems from my nephews; who at that time were living with me. They know what chores they have to do. But they are so easily distracted by television or the game cube or Xbox or what seems like a thousand other diversions instead of just doing whats expected of them and requested of them which would take about 45 minutes of their time and save them from getting scolded, grounded or having their video games and systems confiscated and locked up, and save me from having to be the one who issues punishment, because in my heart that is not what I want to do.
But I am concerned that if there attitude doesnt change soon they will go through life expecting something for nothing, or with the mindset that the world owes them a living.
Then I came to the stark realization that I am the same way, but in a spiritual sense, not all the time, but at times. Instead of making adjustments as God reveals himself and his truths to me. I delay to change or make excuses why I cant do it now. At first I thought it was laziness but now as I write this I realize that it is selfishness. The same attitude the caused Lucifer to rebel against God, and if I am not obeying God then my heart must be in a state of rebellion, willful rebellion, and disobedience.
The Scripture is clear that we must stay humble before God, and ever mindful that we war not against flesh and blood, but our battle is fought in the mind and in our spirit, we must, at all cost stay humble in our hearts and obedient to the word and spirit of the Living God, The Lord loves us enough to correct us, so we can either humble ourselves or keep on a path that leads God to correct us, and from personal experience....... that is not always a pleasant experience.

Aloha friends.
It seems like forever since I have written anything so here it goes.
The Lord has put a calling on my life to preach and be in the ministry full time, and he also let me know that it would be a process; it seems like he has been preparing me for this for quite sometime and waiting on me, as only the Lord can.
So as of June 21st of this year the elders of my church have given me there blessing to start a men’s ministry at our church.
To be quite honest I am a little afraid of all this but excited at the same time, I know that this is my hearts desire; at least one of them. I am still trying to come up with some great Ideas to motivate the men in our church to attend. Timing is everything with the Lord. So that is what is going on in my ministry as of right now.
With me personally, last Sunday I went in front of the church for prayer and asked to be anointed for the gift of evangelism so the pastor laid hands on be and blessed me, something kinda of weird happened, I almost fell over (some people call it being slain in the spirit. It was kinda cool; I was pretty wobbly for a few moments. But something else happened in the process, God changed me; or at least started a change in me, I can feel it. It’s like having something on the tip of your tongue and not quite being able to grasp it. So tonight at “life group aka home bible study” I asked for prayer for a revelation from God. I know it a good thing I feel that the Lord wants to break something loose in me.
Anyway that is all that is happening in my world.
Be blessed

Many years ago while I was still in the Navy; fresh faced and still pretty young in the faith, I was a happy go lucky kinda guy. I had Christ and a new deck of bikes, and living in Hawaii. What more could a young man desire? It was the early 1980’s and all was well in my world the girls were pretty the music was awesome and I was on fire for the Lord. (Not a bad intro)
I would never claim that I was one of those people who would just go up to someone and say something like “Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal savior?” that was never my thing, and still isn’t, not that there’s anything wrong with that approach but it has never been my thing. I try to lead by example and not do so much of the hard sell stuff.
But on one occasion I did use that approach and not in a serious manner but for a week or so I used to always ask this one fellow if he was ready to accept Jesus, and finally he said to me “I never want you to mention that to me again” he was really angry, and I was shocked that he got so upset, I guess in my mind I was being lighthearted about it and never meant to upset him. After a few days he came to me and apologized for being so upset ( his wife made him) but God used that incident to show me a great truth and I was able to share it with this man. (I was going on the premise that he did not believe in God.)
It goes something like this, that if there is no God, then we should do as we please. If there is no eternal judgment and no afterlife, if this life is all we have then should live like there is no tomorrow. Gain as much as we can in anyway we can, in as short as time as possible because this is all there is and we at the end of our life will be worm food. Without God we are no more than animals.
But my belief is that we are so much more, when was the last time you think that a dog asked himself “what is my purpose for being here” or “why do I exist”.
Only man dose that, because he knows deep down inside he has a purpose, a purpose that only God can bring light to. Here is something from Romans check it out.
Rom 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
We are born with the knowledge of God already in us; we know within us that God is real.
Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
We know that God is real because of his creation, I mean there is really no excuse not to believe in God, I have come to the conclusion that the real reason people don’t want to believe in God is be cause they think that if they choose not to believe then they will not have to be accountable for their actions, that some how they are off the hook. And as one pastor I know once said “sin is fun” and if we say there is no God…wow how freeing is that? Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, with no judgment, what a life, But the sad fact is the longing still remains longing to be fulfilled with purpose and the sense that there is more to life than what we can see with just our eyes, a sense that we were made for something more than this life can offer….nuff said…MTuesday May 20, 2008 - 05:17pm (EDT) Permanent Link | 1 Comment
