Have you ever thought about what it took you to get closer to Jesus Christ? What did you stop in order for you to say Father I give I want to know you more my life is not good right now and I need you in my life. Well if you haven't got to that point well I think it is time because knowing that you think you do everything yourself is not the way to go. Have you ever tried doing something yourself but did t turn out the way you wanted, well the reason that happen because you tried to take control of the situation.
I will explain to you a couple of stories that showed the determination of people that wanted to know Jesus or just to touch His garment.
In Mark 5:25-34 explain the life of a woman that was sick and only knew that if she touched Jesus garment she will be heal, her faith in Jesus gave her just that because when she touch His garment, He turned around and saw her and said " daughter; go in peace and be healed of your disease". What I am explaining is don't give up to coming to Jesus or don't forget how your life was before you came to Jesus.
Another person that was determined to see The Lord was Zacchaeus the tax collector. Zacchaeus was a short man so he could not see Jesus when He came into town so he climbed up a tree and Jesus was looking for a place to say and you know who He stayed with, Zacchaeus the tax collector the people of the town flip out (paraphrasing) cause everyone was like he doesn't deserve your company but what they didn't know is Jesus knew something was stirring up in Zacchaeus. Jesus told him to give all the money back to the that he took the money from and he did just that and more.
That how our life should be daily giving up and let God in. Transformation time!!! To get a better understand of these stories check them out for yourself. Pick up the Bible and read it you will be amazed.
Have a lovely day!!!

Happy Pre-Valantine's Day
Happy early Valentines Day! I hope everyone will enjoy that day with someone that takes your breathe away and love God creations. I also pray that God is the head of ones life. Valentine's Day is a day that we all celebrate as marry, single, or just boyfriend and girlfriend, people put so much into this day that it is crazy. When do Jesus step when it comes to this world holiday. I am sure He is not on our mind when you go over broad dressing for that special person or when you are buying chocolates for that special person. Well let me tell you the difference between the world and God truth to us about love, this is going towards the women that believe that they are not special because of what the world tells them. I heard this lesson from an godly woman yesterday at a program where men serve the woman, would you love that an godly man that serves and protect but most importantly loves God.
First she goes into the relationship journey diagram:
1.Meet
2.Friends
3.Dating
4.Engagement
5.Marriage
This seem reasonable but do we follow it, nope because we are always in a rush to start dating that we forget about being friends first so we can get to know each other more than just strangers. I will tell you the different between the world (lie) and WORD (truth).
World
God really doesn't care about my needs nor want me to have a GOOD TIME.
God
God CREATE and loves me more than I love myself and all good things come from Him. (How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to come them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. ) Psalms 139:17-18 (New. International Version)
World
If a guy likes me and my body looks good I can feel GOOD about myself.
God
God LOVES you and determines your worth. You are His treasure possession. (For you are a people holy to The Lord your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the people's on the face of the earth to be His people, his treasured possession. Deuteronomy 7:6(NIV)
World
If it FEELS this good, then it can't be that bad.
God
Your HEART is deceitful, you cannot trust it. Feelings do not always match reality. (The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?) Jeremiah 17:9 New International Version
World
My purpose in life is to get EDUCATED, make a lot of money, and have a hot husband who gives me lots of CUTE babies.
God
God's purpose is your MARRIAGE to Him: for you to know Him deeply make His greatness known and become like Him in character. ( Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ) Matthew 7:13-14 NIV
World
Relationship with the right MAN will complete me.
God
God SATISFIES and completes you. (And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principally and power:) Colossians 2:10 NIV
OUR RESPONSE: Triple S
1. Surrender to His pursuit
2. Spend intimate time with Him
3. Stay focused on His story.
Well I hope you have enjoyed this lesson. Have a lovely blessed night!

Unnecessary
Have you ever been caught off guard when you read a story and it related to your life?
Well I have, every single day! I am fine with it because I know that it is a message from God. Today my message was to stop letting things use my time when it is unnecessary. I do this all the time too, guilt as charge and the sad part is I always tell myself I will get better. You know what it never gets to that point, maybe I shouldn't lie to myself like most people do everyday to make their self feel good or to make others happy. Never thought of it that way, well as our flesh begin to have a taste of something bad it chooses to continue to do (occupying your time). When will we ever stop wasting time and doing what we suppose to do? Don't you wish we had more time in the day, well we do have twelve hours, don't you think that enough. Just image walking with Jesus or being one of His followers every minute, second, and hour was used to help others or feed the hungry. Lets stop wasting our time and be more like Jesus. Pray that I stop lying to myself and be real. Have a blessed night!

Pray for the world
I have been hit on the head again last night but not literally, what I mean is that my friend brought to my attention that we need to start praying for the world because we are going through tough times and we need our "body if Christ" to start praying if haven't started yet. When I say "Body if Christ" I mean Christians, followers of Christ. This world is going through a lot, and that mean for us that we need to start praying for families that are sick or going through family loss, they need our prayers and don't forget to pray for your family too. So after this being brought to my attention, I want to put in action that we start praying for a different country each week starting off with Afghanistan.
Their land is always being destroy because of bombs and war and majority of their religion is IsIam, they are not free to talk about any other religion that is not theirs. Pray for the Christians that goes over there to speak the truth.
Have a blessed day!
Let's put our best foot forward

Discipline
"To learn you must love discipline". (Proverbs 12:1)
When I read this scripture it hit me really hard because these few words are so powerful. When you look at them you think this is it, but do you see the words. Discipline stuck out to me like a sore thumb because I need discipline in my life. I need discipline on eating, sleeping, getting in the word, goals and other things because I am losing control. That not a bad thing to lose control and to let God take the wheel but I need to step up too if I want to change for the better. I want to be like Jesus I say to myself because He was discipline and had self-control on everything. We should all model after Him, but we don't because the way the world has our mind twisted. Think about and have a blessed day!!

WWJD?
What does WWJD stand for to you? It means " WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?". I remember when I first saw this and I was like what is the meaning of this. When I was taught the meaning, I was not shock about it but it also didn't sink in for me to understand. I didn't understand it completely because I didn't know Jesus. Jesus was so far from because of the things I was going through at the time. I didn't give Him a second or first thought because I was so lost.
If you are a believer you know that "WWJD" is a powerful saying if you think about. If we all lived by this saying than we would make better decisions. When I look or hear this phase I think to myself what would Jesus do, He would not curse, fight, lie, cheat, or say things He don't mean to say. So when you see this phrase don't just bypass it stop and think about the meaning behind it. Have a blessed day.
