2012 - Christian Random Thoughts Thread

What a woman dwells on so is she. What we think about eventually comes out. I see why the word states sin starts in the minds. If it's there and not handled properly it will do some damage. Happy to be in the season of learning.
 
From the Ministry of Encouragement:

God does allow us
to experience adversity
as a result of rebellion,
but He longs for us to
reconnect with Him—and
He graciously offers
forgiveness when we repent.


We can overcome
the spirit of rebellion.



Luke 15:17-18 – “And when he came to himself, he said,
How many hired servants of my father’s have bread
enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee.”
 
Morning Blessings:

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Everyone's ministry serves a purpose in God's Kingdom. Some can only water, others can only plant, yet it's only God who gives the increase.

Today, I honor those at the forefront... ministers, church/ministry leaders and their spouses, Gifted with the humility that can only come from the Holy Spirit. 1 Corin 3:5-9
 
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15 "
 
****INTER-DENOMINATINAL SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT****


If you feel your strep throat, sinus infection, sloppy allergies, dripping and snorting snotty congestion, cold, flu, contagious gastroenteritis, Sars, meningitis is not quite healed up, it's okay, Jesus hears your prayers at home. Love thy neighbor enough to not cough and spew your germs, please! :look::look::look:
 
*sigh* Hatred is so sad...

"First they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me."

-Martin Niemöller
 
When God is silent, He is not still. God does some of His best work in the dark. Trust Him - He's there.


Pastor Tony Evans
 
I was blessed to have heard these guys live yesterday (Mark S Case; Sandeep Poonen, etc) and my heart hurts sometimes when we look at life in the West and how we can take God, His Word for granted...


If anyone has time to listen to EA Johnson reveal the Underground Christian life in China, I pray this account awakens something in your spirit as well.... the Chinese are living the "normal Christian life" ...free of preoccupation with material life (no worries about house/home/life or limb)...free of denomination (everyone is callled Brother or Sister - denominations divide the Body of Christ) as it was lived in the early church in Acts. The Chinese are so intuned with the Holy Spirit ... well, if you have a moment, see for yourself...

Today's sermon was titled Legends. A legend is a average person that has extraordinary talents and abilities that can do great things. The sermon is based out of Esther. When God elevates you it's not just so you can be cute and comfy but for you to handle business on a higher level. Remember that ladies who have high power visible roles. Your role isn't so you can drink your latte and be pretty. It's so that you can do some things that bring God glory on a higher level of visibility. If one person won't do God will place someone else there.

I hope to one day be placed on the elevation level. I want to be able to be used on a higher level and calling. Hopefully all that I'm trying to do will show soon enough.
 
I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)


By Dr. Bob Moorehead
 
We don't have to do extraordinary things, but simply do what we divine-led to do to help someone else.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;for he knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust.

Awwww shucks!!! *blushing* pray for me! I'm just trying to be obedient and not rush things. Just making sure to keep my motives pure and my heart and mind focused on God
 
kila82 that is all you can do. See it's not a coincedence you went through what you went through and have the story you have. It was all for the purpose in order for you to be in this time and space at this second. It's not surprising the of the desire of your heart as it was planted by God. Your just doing what you were created to do.
 
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart…” Jeremiah 1:5

There are 180 million to 400 million sperm present in semen during one normal ejaculation. Each one of these sperm contains 23 chromosomes−a special configuration of traits uniquely assigned to that one sperm. In order for an individual to be created, one of these sperm has to be determined, resilient and powerful enough to make through the vaginal canal, to the uterus, then to the oviduct or fallopian tube, through the corona radiata and into an egg cell. This is no simple excursion and very few sperm even make it to the uterus. This journey results in the death of millions and millions of sperm. The female egg also contains 23 selectively arranged chromosomes specifically exclusive to that particular egg. When a sperm cell finally breaks through an egg those 23 chromosomes from each one of these cells combines, forming a unique individual. Unique can be defined as “existing as the only one or as the sole example, have no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable”…do you really think you aren't special? Do you really think you are a nobody? Do you really think you have no purpose for being here?

From the moment of conception, the moment that the sperm fertilized the egg and combined together to create the incredible you God had in mind it has been the enemy's goal, desire, ultimate pleasure and delight to try and destroy you. To kill you. We are engrained with a specific purpose that is wonderful and extraordinary and if we die we might not get to carry out that purpose. For some of us, the devil attacks our minds making us insecure and unsure of who we are, for others the enemy send physical and sexual abuse and tries to break us down and for others the enemy uses drugs and alcohol to keep us in a poisonous bondage where we are ineffective in all things. The devil wants to see us completely destroyed and ignorant to our purpose. We need to awaken. We need to realize who the real enemy is...it's not people, or family members, or political candidates, or our abusers or even ourselves. The real enemy is satan and his suggestions and his tricks and his traps that we continue to fall for over and over again.

I am tired of letting him win. I'm tired of dwelling on my past. I'm tired of not getting the healing that is available to me. I'm tired of sleeping through life. I'm tired of setting petty goals that help no one but myself. I'm tired. But most importantly, I'm ready for change.
 
kila82 if you don't help yourself you can't help anyone. It's making sure a plane is perfect to fly. If not it will destroy people. The same with you or anyone. We must be in the healing process which I believe is a life long thing that we will always have to deal with. Some things have to be cut from the root ie cursing,dranking to throwed,sexing,flipping people off,bisexuality etc--just naming things not saying you..

Right now is the time some are going through a half time season. I know I am. When you think half time what comes to mind. You get to get some water,go to the potty,get encouragement and get some new strageies before going back into the game. Your 1st 2 quarters might have been hard but the 2nd half doesn't have to be. It's time to dig our heels in and reach out to the solid people in your life. You can't do it alone. PM me if you want .
