Deuteronomy 3 verse 22

Deuteronomy 3:22

you shall not fear them it’s the Lord your God who fights for you

We are in Gods hands when we make him the guide of our lives. We shouldn’t worry where we are or where we go or what we do for as long as it’s the Lord that is leading in everything we do he will protect us and get us to where we need to go. God has already fought the battle and won. When he sent his Son Jesus to come die on the cross sin lost and God won. We were set free from death and sin and could gain eternal life with our Father God. God fought this battle for us so we didn't have to. When we go thought a spiritual battle let God take control and give it to him for he will win. Yes the devil is strong but the Lord is much more stronger. In Revelation there is a verse that talks about how God sent an angel down to lock satan away for 1000 years. God Himself could have locked satan away but he chose to send an angel to lock satan. So if an angel could lock away satan imagine just what the Lord could do and yes we can never fully understand God and the power he has but just knowing that and that he is all powerful should really make us feel safe and secure in Him and knowing he fights for us.

Acts 16 verse 31

Acts 16 VS 31: Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your house hold.

We all need to believe in our Lord Jesus for he is the way to the Father and all who know him know the Father. Jesus is waiting for you to come to him and the more you grow closer to him the closer he will grow to you. It took me a until just recently to really understand what that actually means. God is always watching and hearing your prayers. For I had a incredible moment with the Lord for he showed me that he was hearing me and answered me by showing me a shooting star. I once really didn't think stuff like that happened but the more you grow with the Lord the Lord reveals much more then you could ever imagined and we truly need to put our belief in the Lord and one thing that his hard but this verse will come true in my life I Just know that my parents will be saved for to my knowledge right now they our not but if I keep pursuing the Lord he will save my family and answer the prayer that I so desire for my family to see the life God has for them. So I believe and want you to believe as well with all your heart and keep pushing on for his kingdom.

application. I will chose a book in the bible and finish it within this week. Act

1st Chronicles 28 Verse 9

Solomon, my son learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Once you have chosen to accept Jesus and follow him it begins this relationship that you must grow by learning more of who Jesus is. Thats why you must be in the word and learn more about Jesus. But we must also follow Jesus and serve him full heartedly. having him guide our lives and be willing to leave behind things or do stuff that we may not like. The Lord has called me to a season of living in Africa yes he has blessed me and grown me so much, but there has been tough times and moments of why am I here. But knowing that the Lord has everything planned for me and only wants to see me grow helps me remember that He has called me here for this time and to remember its in His hands and that we should always be reminded that if we are following the Lord he will guide us in the correct path.

Application- I will be starting the one year bible read for the new year.

Galations 5:25

Galatians 5: 25

Since we are living by the spirit let us follow the spirits leading every part of our lives.

I actually got this verse from a class kids Sunday class that i watched in on. this was there memory verse and when I thought about it so true! if we have excepted Jesus Christ in our lives we must let him lead. Even me I struggle with letting Jesus lead instead of me trying to lead. When we ourselves lead we end up falling or worse we fall into to a flesh desire for our flesh is weak but the Spirit is strong! We must let the Lord lead. For he will keeps us safe and he knows what is best for us before we even know. God created us and he has a plan for each and everyone and those who have let him into to our hearts must remember that we surrendered our  lives to him and must obey him that is the only way we can reach the life he has planned for us. If we lead we will fall into sin and a life that God does not have for us.

Application- This week i will not let my want of knowing the next thing make me upset but instead I will go with what God has planned for this week.

James 3 Vs 13-17

James 3 Vs 13-17   

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous there is selfish ambition in your heat, don't cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfish are not Gods kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times,and willing to yield to others. it is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.

Many people say they are christians or are followers of christ but don't really act like it, They go to church on Sunday but then Friday night the are out partying getting drunk and living a double life style. God calls us to do good works and if you say you are a followers then you life that life humbly without looking for gain or reward just doing it all in the glory of God. For I was trapped in that cycle I would say i was a follower of christ but then next day get drunk or high with my friends. I got warped in the mind set of tomorrow ill stop and give to the lord but let just have this one last night and those Last night would go on for weeks. For we get clouded with are own desires and say don't worry tomorrow is a new day but we are not promised tomorrow. We have to live everyday in the honor of God doing good works and staying humble not giving in to are own desires but to live for the one true king and share his love and word.

Application-  I will make a list of the good works I have done to honor God and write reminders next them the purpose of why I did it.   

Revelation 1:9

Revelation 1:9

I John am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s kingdom and in the patient endurance to which jesus calls us. I was exiled to the islands of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.

We are able to relate to John in the since that we are both exalted by the people around us when we try to preach or speak the good word. John has gone through many trials and hardships but throughout it all never gave in cause he had God was on his side. We as followers of christ go through same trials. Not as extreme as getting exalted to a island but we are judged looked down on cursed out and much more. But the most important thing to do is keep patience and endurance in God and stay strong in him through the trials and tribulations that he puts us through because these trials should grow us closer to him instead of push us away. The more we take these chances to grow in him the more we learn to love God and you can see God’s true Love for you that he has.

Application - at the next outreach I will try to talk to everyone I can even if they don't even look interested 

Galatians 5:13

Galatians 5:13

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom  to serve one another in love.

We all have the freedom to choose what we want to do. We can follow the Lord with all of our heart or follow the world and live the ways of the world. yes we have the freedom to choose we don't get to choose the final outcome of these paths though. If you use your freedom to fall into to sin you will eventually fall to death. Sure you can do good works and be nice to your neighbor and much more but if you don't believe in Jesus Christ then you will fall to death. But if you use your freedom to love one another a follow what Jesus has called us to do we can live eternity with him. Freedom is a wonderful thing but we can lived trapped in freedom if we use it to please are flesh instead of God. We should be using are freedom to please God and love and help one another come close to God and give friends and family the opportunity to know who God is and show them the freedom in God.

Application- I will write down all the freedom I have gained in God
