For A Reason

Do you believe everything happens for a reason?

Well I have for sometime now. I have had the pleasure of seeing the ability of God doing things in the world. I was on my way to church today and I stopped of to get some gum and a bottle of water. For some reason I picked up a bottle for the pastor as well. When I got to church I was getting myself together for service. The pastor walks up and says "Good Morning Brother", and I told him "Good Morning" and I said Pastor here is a bottle of water I don't know why I got this for you. And then we continue with service, just when he gets up to start the "message" for the day he starts to cough and I was like where is the bottle of water. And then you know when your mouth get all dry and you start to cough uncontrollably until you either create more saliva or you drink some water and get you whistle wet again. Well that is what happened, and for some reason I started to laugh. Most of you reading this are going why in the world did you laugh. I just could not control myself, I was in amazement of how God worked in that morning.

Pastor Dennis has only done that one other time since I have been in this church. So to knock out the thought that he was going to need the water is just not poss. for an explanation. This was God in the best form. He was watching out for those who help him. That is a wonderful leader.

Just remember that everything happens for a reason. No matter what it is he does not give us anything that we can not handle. Some may feel that I may be out of my mind, but I have seen these things that he has given to me. Some come in the form of dreams. I know things before they happen. Who can give you insight into something like that, please tell me who. GOD the Father. Just as he give Daniel of the Lions Den the visions of what was to happen, he gives me foresight into what is going to happen so that I can further his work and honor him.

THANKS BE TO GOD!!

Romans 8:28

A New Day

I was wondering how the next weeks were going to play out. I have been really tight on money since things have been back to normal. I have to thank God for the help that I have been given. He has placed things in my life that have really helped. Now I have gotten most bills back on track and have moneys left things have to be very good this week.

Ephesians 2:8

Living and Loving Life!!

Well here we go. I am living for sure and loving that comes easy. I have been to the end of the bridge and not sure what to do at that point. It is all to funny what money does and does not do for people. Thing of late have been a bit hard. I had a friend come and stay with me and things went down hill from there. I tried to help like the good soul that I am and nothing good came out of it yet. Well that I know of or can see at the moment, maybe the lord has not shown me the bigger picture here. But never the less life goes on. I have to figure out how to pay the bills and live. But I have prayed and God above is helping as much as I allow I guess at this point.

Lets just say that I am not living on the streets and I thank God for that everyday. I have a few bills that are almost to high to think about and I still owe other people money and school well I owe them as well. As I sit back and look at the whole situation, I am wondering what God has in store for me as well. From my perspective I am note really sure but I know that he's in control and I have to live to see what is next. I know that everything for a reason and everything in its season.

Life, and things from the past.

Well what I can say upon this topic is; the one reason that I left going to church every Sunday, was to the gossip in the church and people thinking that they are above me in some way. This past Sunday they're people that I go to church with that just talk about others and what the do wrong during the church service. Now I must say this nags at me and it should not but it does. I PRAY to GOD that these people would just shut there trap and practice what they preach or say that they preach. The politics of the church turn more people from church then the church takes in. What happen to the commandment that Christ gave us? “TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, duh” People, is it harder to love people more then it would take to help them or just over look a mistake were their was no sin in what they did to begin with. Do not God and Christ forgive us for what we do? I say lets be Christians and not people that the devil employs.

As Christians, I empower you to stand up and do the right thing. Do let ignorant people take over the places of the good people in the church you go. Tell them he with out sin cast the first stone as Christ said to the Pharisees.

The Whole Armor of God

As people today we all have certain brand of clothing we like to wear. Some of us like: Polo, Ralph Lauren, FuBu, Nike, Adidas and many others. But I think that as Christians we should have one brand of clothing A.O.G.. Now as many of you are now flabbergasted about what is A.O.G. well in Ephesians 6:10-20 we are to were the Armor of God and thats what we need to do live in "our everyday lives".

I think if I am wearing the Armor of God that I truly can fight off the evil things are are in our everyday lives. With this being said how are we to go about today and wear the Armor of God. I am going to take the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit (Word of God) with the shoes for the Gospel of Peace and go forth as a Christian Soldier and fight the evil that confronts me today and everyday.

And as it says in the finial verse of the this chapter. Ephesians 6:23-24. "Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible."

ALL WE NEED IS LOVE!!

Okay, so for the last couple of days the theme of what I have been hearing from preachers is LOVE. And I was reading a book today for my classes that I am taking and the part of what I read today. Talks about the women that Christ saved from being stoned by the scribes and Pharisees (John 8:7). Now if we continue in John down to John 13:34, Christ says that we should LOVE. This is the commandment give from Christ to "Christ"ians the followers of the Messiah. So what are we doing by getting mad and not helping those with out love for others. I repeat what the Lord said unto us "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

How profound is that for someone on his way to death to tell us to love. Love like he did, to show someone love is to be in a way Christ like. I know some of you are not going to agree with that statement but if we are all to love and to give love. As Joyce Meyer says that would be a WOW thing.

Golden Rule

So the morning started out with not the best of moments. But what was wrong was that Satan has gotten a hold on a fellow co-worker. And my boss and comrades accused of something that was not worded correctly. After I had explained myself to my comrade the understanding of what was going on became clear. So with a written note to our co-worker things started to get worse as finger pointing started. I thinking that we were all adults and could settle things in such a matter that adults do, well I hate to tell you we could not and the unhappiness just continued on and after a direct approach to the person things settled down and the kindness began. We got through our problems and things went on from there and the rest of the day is hoping for a brighter outlook.

Well as I continued on with my day my comrades attitude changed as well. And it was not all the pleasant either but, it was as if Satan had switched bodies and keep the bad attitude around the building. So my focus was on the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31) "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." I was so content on keeping my good as it started to slip away. But I ask God to be with me and to help keep me from blowing up on these people today and allow me to focus on the positive things of my life.
