Tell Him your heart

PassionForJesus — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:48:25 +0000

As I walk with God eachday, I hope to grow nearer to Him. I hope to be closer to Him in every way. I most of all hope to grow close to Him spiritually. My God has told me what He wants for me. He has said what I am to do for Him. How I shall be used for His Glorious Kingdom. I am forever greatful to Him for His mercy, and His grace, His love, and His patience with me. For everything He has ever given me, and, for everything, He is to give me in the future. But I am most greatful to Him, for His forgiveness. Our English Language, can only go so far in word’s, There truely are no words to describe how Awesome, Amazing, Wonderful, Powerful, and even more so, our God is. I sometimes find myself, wanting more, and that is what I want! I want to always be in awe of my God. I always want to be in His presence. I want to be in the center of His will. To always look upon Him. Sometimes we feel, that we should not bring the little thing’s to Him. That it’s silly of us. I have felt that way, before. I don’t know if anyone else has ever felt that way before. I feel, that it’s silly, to bring the very small part’s of myself to Him. But when infact, it’s not. It’s not silly at all. He want’s us to bring everything to Him. Every little part of ourselves. Because though He already know’s every part of us, even the depths of our heart’s, He want’s us to tell Him everything. He want’s us to be able to count on Him for everything. He want’s to be the only one in our lives. If only we would let Him be the only one. How do you think that would be? Beautiful. But He blesses us with family and friends, and other’s in our lives. Because He knows us. He knows that we need other’s in our lives. He knows…..our heart’s. And though we spend time with family and friends, we must not forget, to spend time with Him. He is what matters most in our lives. He is everything. Lord, may we never look away from Your face. May we always say “more, more of You, oh Lord”.

In Christ

“That’s A Lie.”

PassionForJesus — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:06:54 +0000

This artical is from GroundWire.net

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8

When my friend spoke to the television the first time I was startled. But, when he did it the second and third time, I started to notice.

Scott was a friend a couple of years older. He was one of my spiritual heroes. His love for the Lord was visible, and his commitment to serve Him made him different. I loved spending time with him and was so honored whenever he would make time for me in his busy schedule.

This particular day we were not out running around, we were just sitting around watching a football game (Go Seahawks!), but whenever a commercial would come on that emphasized sex, alcohol, or something vain and shallow, he would literally talk to the TV: “That is a lie.”

In effect, what he was doing was verbally rejecting the philosophies of the world that were based in attitudes contrary to scripture. He knew scripture taught dating relationships were not the ultimate goal of life so when a commercial implied that, he would whisper, “That is a lie.”

When a beer commercial boldly stated that if you drank their beer you would have a better quality of life, be more popular, or be happier, he would say, “That is a lie.”

See, Scott had already determined that he was not going to be taken captive by hollow and deceptive philosophies based in human tradition, so rather than just accept the lies floating around, he rejected them.

The next time you are sitting down watching television with your parents, I want you to do the same thing. When a commercial comes on indicating that you need something other than Jesus to be truly happy, peaceful, or free, take your index finger, point it at the television and say, “That is a lie.”

Actually, you don’t have to say the words out loud. Most of you wouldn’t anyway. But, my prayer for you is that your antennae for deception would go up. Whenever anyone tries to sell you something that is not based in scripture, I pray an alarm would go off in your heart that would remind you that you know the truth and that everything else is a lie.

(Talk to your TV)

What would life look like if you reacted to all of the messages that were contrary to scripture by immediately recognizing that they were lies? Would your faith be stronger? Would you be seduced by those lies as often? How can you work to implement these things into your life?

Make a list of the most common lies that you see, hear, and tend to believe on one side of a page. On the other side find a scripture that shares the truth about these things. This exercise will give you some ammunition as you seek to protect your heart and belief system.

God Came through

PassionForJesus — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:51:56 +0000

I was not feeling myself today. I was doing good, but then, I don’t know, just did not feel so well afterwards. I did not feel myself. Did not know why, just did. Then I got on the computer, and was talking with my Best Friend, and we were talking, and laughing, and were talking about an interview, and I started to listen to some music, and in those moment’s, God made me feel good. I felt happy, and joyful, just very good. I have been feeling well, all these day’s, just that today, I did not. It’s amazing, how God work’s, how even in the smallest of a little thing, He is there. If He can come through, for us in such a small thing, then how much more will He come through, in a bigger situation? God is alway’s there. God never leaves us. God amazes me everyday. His great work’s, His love. What an awesome God we serve. There really are no word’s to describe Him, there really are not. We try, and we say all that He is, but He is SO much MORE! God, you deserve more. Though we could never deserve Him, He loves us! Why, why does He love us? One could never really know why He chooses to love us. Or why He want’s to know us. Or why He want’s to love the loveless, and the broken, and the shamed. We could never really know. Lord, I am ever so greatful that you choose to love me, and not turn away. I am ever so greatful, that You love me the way that you do. Jesus, I am You’res. You died for me, now I give you my life. Jesus, I am You’res.

My eye’s are on you Jesus

PassionForJesus — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:05:42 +0000

Jesus. My eye’s are fixed on You. May I never turn away from you, may I never say no to You.

Jesus. My eye’s are on You for all eternity. May I alway’s love You with all of my heart. I love You with all of my heart.

My God. You’re love run’s deep through my vain’s.

My God. You are the one I love. The one I can not refuse. My Savior.

Savior. You gave everything for me. I could never deserve You.

Savior. You died for me. You love me so. How can this be?

Jesus. You gave everything, to save me from my sin’s. You gave me, a second chance.

Jesus. You gave me hope. You showed me true love.

My God. You’re love is so real. I thank you for what you have done.

My God. I rejoice in You’re name. I sing praises to You alone.

Savior. Such sweet sacrifice. I do not deserve You.

Savior. I give you my life for what you have done. Though I can not repay you, I give what You deserve.

Jesus. I give to You, what belong’s to You. I was created for You. So I give You myself.

Jesus. May I please you with all that I am, alway’s. How I love you.

My God. I am You’res, for all eternity.

My God. You’re love for me I do not doubt. Though I am undeserving, I see that You’re love is real.

Jesus, my God, Savior. I love You ever so. My eye’s are on You, forever.

Realization

At four in the morning, I lay in bed, and pray. I had gone to bed at three, and begun to pray. The time passed me by. I did not feel it. As I lay in bed, and prayed, I remembered a blog I had read on a christian music website. The author wrote about website’s which were very popular, such as, myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. She wrote about how we, as christian’s, should use these website’s (if we have an account of course) to reach out to unbeliever’s. To get the message out. She also said that she had made a Twitter account, to tweet bible verses everyday, for those who were on the go, to have there daily bread. I thought about it, and remembered what God had said, not to long ago. He said that just as the enemy was useing the internet for his evil deed’s, so was He going to use them, but for His glory. That He was going to use it, to reach out to those who did not know Him. God then brought to my mind, that He was useing the author of this blog to reach out to other’s. He also made me realize, that we all can be apart of His reaching out through the internet. I then asked Him to let me, and someone very close to me, to be apart in His reaching out. He brought an idea to my mind. An idea to reach out to other’s. An idea of which I want to take, and run with. What has God been laying on your heart? Do you know what He is telling you, but you choose to ignor it? Don’t. Be obedient. Do what He is telling you. Otherwise, you will regret it.

Blessing’s

Heard “Listen” by Michelle Tumes many times, but this time, it was like hearing it for the first time.

PassionForJesus — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:48:28 +0000

I was hearing the song,”Listen” by Michelle Tumes this evening. I had one of those moment’s when you hear a song, at the right time, at the right moment. It was a song I needed to hear. If you have not heard it, it’s a must hear. The song was so clear to me. Yet I know that it is very clear, I had a moment, where I REALLY heard the lyric’s. There are times when one can hear a song a million times, and not REALLY hear the song. You hear the song, and the lyric’s over and over again, and yet, the song remain’s the same. You hear it as a beautiful, or a simple song, until, you suddenly, REALLY hear the song. You REALLY hear the lyric’s. They come alive. And you realize what the singer is trying to say. You realize what God is trying to tell you. I had this kind of moment earlier. I was listening to the song, and suddenly, God spoke to me. I REALLY heard the song, I REALLY heard the lyric’s. It was then I realized what this song meant. Though it should have been completely clear to me the first time I heard it, it was not. Till this time I heard it. Some would say this is silly of me, not to be able to interpret the meaning of the lyric’s. But we all do it sometimes, I am sure I am not the only one whom has gone through this. As I begun to listen to the song, I knew what God was telling me, and what the lyric’s meant. The lyric’s of the song mean, well simply what the title is, “Listen”. It means listen to His voice. Listen to Him speak. He tries to speak, but we sometimes don’t listen to Him. He was tugging at my heart, and I finally let go. This is what the song also interpret’s. That He sometimes tug’s at our heart’s, but we ignor Him. He tries to speak, but we are not Listening to Him, or for His voice. This song may be simple, but it is also beautiful. I am telling you this, because, well, we are not perfect. We all fall short sometimes. I love Jesus with all my heart, I only want to please Him, but I needed a tug, and sure enough, He tugged. God sometimes uses the simplest of thing’s, to tell us thing’s. Just as He used this song to tug at me. It was a beautiful moment, and I thank my God for it. I hope this was not to much for you to read? But I also hope, you take something out of this, even if it is, simple.

In Christ

A thought in my mind

PassionForJesus — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:06:08 +0000

This was something that was on my mind, at the moment, so I wanted to share.

Jesus.

Jesus is everything.

Jesus is so much more then we deserve.

Jesus, is all my heart desires.

Without Him, who am I?

He gives me peace, in the storm.

Where would I, or you, be without Him?

I love my Jesus.

He has told me what I am to do for Him, how I am to serve Him. I cling to the promises He has given.

I will not look back. I cling to my Jesus, my God and my Salvation.

Without Him, I have nothing to live for.

Sure, I could live, like everyone I see, but would I really be living? No. I would not, I would merely just be.

I would not truly be living.

I would not be able to feel the love of my Creator.

I would just be here, on this earth.

Without anything, to be really living for.

My Jesus, how I love you.
