Always be ready to Listen.

I think that silence is a wonderful thing, you can hear things that you either never heard or you have taken for granted.

Sometimes God is wanting us to do certain things and we dont hear his voice. It could be that we are ment to bless someone with money or food, or a gift and if we dont hear what God is saying we could rob someone of a blessing that God is intending for us to give them, now if you dont do want he is wanting you to do there may be someone that does it and takes your place to do it, but one thing for sure is that if you dont do what God tells you to do that it wont have the greatest impact that it could of had.

So go in freedom to listen to what God is telling you to do, dont be quick to answer and blab stuff, just take time to speak, because that is wisdom knowing when to talk and when to listen, which I am in need of some wisdom.

So Go and try to listen to others and to God, just be quiet and see what could happen:)

Moving in the Prophetic

There are so many things to say about the Prophetic.

I like this verse because it speaks to those who someone may think is too young to understand the things of God, It talks about having prophetic words spoken over you. Its really neat.

1 Timothy 4:12-16

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit,^[b] in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

1 Corinthians 14:1
1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2 Peter 1:19-21
19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,^[a] which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,^[b] 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God^[c] spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Moving in the Prophetic is so cool, when I say that I mean that when you totally give yourself over to God and the Holy spirit moves on you and and you feel him then do you dance, speak, worship, or whatever God has you do. The bottom line is that you give yourself over to God and move in his will and open your heart to him totally. Awesome stuff it is. But remember that Love is still the most important thing and without it there is nothing else.

The Freeman does not belong to himself!

So I came across this and was actually stopped at what this means. The freeman does not belong to himself but to the one who set him free.

How awesome is that! We have been singing about freedom to worship God in church and also I have been studing about freedom him in many different ways. This saying says it all and brings me to a place that makes me realize that when Jesus set us free, that we then belong to him. So when we worship and when we live in this world we should remember that everything we do we should to him who set us free. HE, JESUS Set us free and we should remember that he is the only one that can do that. ONLY through him can we truly be free to worship him. We are giving back to him when we worship in his freedom because he gave it to us.

That is so cool!!!

There is a season for everything!

This one thing has been echoing in my mind. I have been hearing it in church and small groups. That there is a season for everything. Meaning for me is that I am not going to be doing just one talent all my life. That God may have me doing worship music with my sax on time and then working in the nursery another. Or doing flags during worship or just being silent.

The key is that we have been in constant prayer and communication with Jesus in order to hear what it is we are suppose to be doing in our lifes. That sometimes our own agenda, or our faults, or self conscious views get in the way of what it is that God is wanting us to do.

The point is listen to what God is wanting you to do for that season and do it the best that you can and give your all back to him:)

Refreshing Time

My family have been really getting back to the heart of what worship really is and what it means. I am talking about worshiping God and giving back to him all the talents and knowledge that he has given us. I dont want to be ashamed of what God has done, is doing, and will do for us. Without him we are nothing. I dont care what people think of me or how I worship or whatever. I think that God will be the judge of us in the end and he will say to us, why were you ashamed of me and why havent you worshiped me with all your heart and mind and soul. I think that worship comes in many different ways, it comes in music, singing, playing instruments, tithing and offerings, using our talents for him, sharing the love of God with others I feel is a form of worship. I also think that we should show him physical expression such as dancing, or running if we feel lead to run, or whatever we feel lead to do for his name then I feel that we shouldnt be afraid and just do it. God is the one who saved us and gave us his only son so that we might live in eternity with him, he made us, created us, and breathed life into us. How dare we not praise his holy name, how dare we not, is what I say. Oh well that is what I have to say for now. Take care and God bless!

Old time Jail House~Lets eat in Death Row!

Last night my family and some friends ours when to eat that this pizza place that use to be an old jail house. You can see the Ohio river from the windows, great view but I am sure that old building had some stories to tell. As we looked aroung the place, it was pretty iron foretified and looked escapable, But up stairs was the ones that they put on death row, you can actually eat in those. Now that I think about it, it is a wierd and morbid concept. To eat where someone had been miserable and burdened was really sad. There was this one spot that had a trap door, and above the trap door was a place that they put nooses for hangings. As you walked over the trap door which is now covered you can see the place where they hung the ropes. I was a little saddened as my heart felt heavy. Not necessaryly feeling ghosts or anything but feeling that there possible might be some injustice that still is presence there. Meaning that maybe people were done injustly and put to death. As a chrisitian I beleive that demonic presences are real and that they are evident in life. its like you can sense a place where the devil lives and where the blood of Jesus hasnt been preached or pleading of this building. and in the rooms of death row. I cant imagine the pain or the evil that has resided there. but upon leaving I prayed for Jesus to cover us and that nothing would bother us as we left. I will always remember that there is hope for all even someone in a jail cell that Jesus is every where, even if we dont feel his presence, he is still there and sees everything and know everything, and that if something was done unjustly that he would have the last say in all things. anyways I guess that the food was good, but I probably wont be back there again or anything soon.
