Pray for Country- 4

Good afternoon everyone, I am really blessed because I have my health and family and friends that love me. If you have ever watched Ghost Whisper it really put things in perceptive. A couple weeks ago I was in New York celebrating my birthday and I was so happy and fascinated by the different cities I went into. The culture up there is so fast and never ending, it is so worth to try it a least once. It give life a whole new meaning if you grew up in a slower pace city. So after all of that thank God everyday, all day , and etc. The country to pray for this week is Denmark! Have a blessed day! Source: Operation World by Jason Mandryk

Prayer Request

As I was changing my room around thoughts came to me about praying for other countries. I use to do this as a group but as our group stop meeting we didn't get to pray for other countries together.  I am not saying that they might not be praying for other countries on their own it is we are not praying together. So starting next week I will give you a country to pray for because we all need prayer. Just take out a little time of you day to pray for someone, it will be worth it. Have a blessed day or night.

Spiritual Workout

What is Spiritual Workout?  

-Getting in the word

-Fellowship

-Bible Study

-TAWG (Time Along With God)

-Bookclub

Spiritual workout can be anything or anyway you want it to be as long as you are feeding yourself spiritual food. And the most important thing to do is pray. Prayer is a strong key factor to connect with God, telling Him how you feel or what's wrong with you. Connecting with God this way will open your heart to Him more so you can bond with Him and become as one. Having that relationship with Him will shine a light on your life, so try it I dare you. 

27 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows. 

28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.  - Job 22:27-28

Disclaimer.... I don't know all the answers, but I do know someone that does JESUS!! Read about Him, search Him, He is a cool, merciful, loving, and so much more guy so get to know Him like I do.

Contamination Spirit

Contamination? When I started to write this post for some reason I could not put words together to talk about it.  In that moment my spirit was contaminate by something that was going on with me at that time.  We all have this moment, if we recognize it because at times our spirit can be contaminated for so long that we don't even know until something or someone happen in your life. When I think about comtamination I think about something that is stain. Contamination is a harsh word meaning impure. So when I hear "contaminating the spirit" I think about my spirit being unorganize, grieving, lost and all the things that mean unsatisfied. And with that it bring on angry, fear, worrying, depressed, and so many other emotions. We contaminate our spirit everyday without knowing it. We contaminate our spirit with work, friends, hobbies, and passionate desires. The way we contaminate our spirit with these problems is by putting them before God (Jesus Christ our Savior). I am not saying you have to be perfect, but it a must to fight that contamination of the spirit everyday by praying, getting in the word, getting a accountablity partner to keep you on track. And remember God loves you

"Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!" Psalm 32:11
