What Makes Me Happy God?

It feels like just yesterday that I was looking in the mirror of my life and asking myself what do I want to accomplish in the next 10 years. And now at 26, I've been married for 4 years and have brought to life 2 beautiful baby girls. I can still remember the butterflies of going to highschool for the first time. I can still feel the energy of my first football hit. I can still remember the 2 free throws I made in the closing sec. of our game. I can still remember the falls, the fears, and the failures of my life. Its funny how these things never leave you. The pivotal moments in your life that pretty much changed the direction of where you were going. Its like God threw a masive energy pocket in to your life that changed your decision. All of a sudden your somewhere else in someone else's room. LOL. I'm just joking it wasn't that bad. But you know what I'm saying. I look back on my life and sometimes I say to myself, if I would have just played a little bit harder in school maybe I could have went pro. Or if I would have wrote more songs maybe I would have made it in a band somewhere. Or if I would have tried harder in college maybe I would be a millionare by now. LOL. So I have to ask myself why, and the only answer I get is that GOD CREATED THE PATH. And I was just child like enough to walk it. I could have bucked the system, which I did at times, but all in all I'm still here. Do I have regrets, Yes, everyone has regrets, its just are they willing to admit it. I know the saying "all things happen for a reason", but sometimes we just screw up. It is what it is. I guess I'm saying all this to say that Life is hard, its not easy. You really have to work at it. You don't get everything on a silver platter. I know we all could say if I only had a million dollars all my problems would go away. But lets look at it, you may eliminate a lot of problems but most of the time you just present a whole new set of them. Our real peace and happyness comes from our Father. He created you and both of these feelings, and He knows just how to give them to you. Then our question should be God what makes me happy. Its actually peaceful to know that it is in his hands. I'm tired of it being in mine. The way I feel, what I do, and how I live is all created by Him. Because He knows whats best for me. He know's whats best for you. What Makes you Happy? Ask Him and let see.

An Unshakable Kingdom (Hebrews 12:25-29)

I want to start out by making a statement that I think we should all ask for: "Bring the Shaking God". I was reading in Hebrews and this is what it had to say. "One last shaking, from top to bottom, stem to stern". (The Message). Then it gave an understanding. "Now this expression indicates the final removal and transformation of all, that can be shaken--that is, of that which has been created--in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue". (Amplified Bible) Wow. As Christians, we should all be striving for this same shaking to happen within our lives. Can you imagine just how mighty God's kingdom would be if his chosen people would actually live the way he has asked. Starting with a pure shaking. I'm ready to see his people rise up and proclaim Him as Lord and Savior. Don't get me wrong I am including myself in this group as well. Alright lets read on. "Do you see what we've got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander". (The Message) Wow. Another profound statement. Would you like to be part of a kingdom that cannot be shaken? Wall's that cannot be penitrated. An army that cannot be killed. And a King that cannot be dethroned. I can just imagine being inside. Feeling at peace with everything. Nothing Can seperate me. But you know what else is going on "Worship". As a worship leader I can only imagine the praise that would be going on within the wall's. Deeply reverent, as the word said. And our King standing in the midst, enjoying every minute. Wow. Lets Read on. "He's actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won't quit until it's all cleansed. Because our God is a Consuming Fire". (The Message/NASB) Alright this is the finale to the set of scriptures I have been referencing. I know it seems harsh and unloving, but it is truly what needs to happen within our lives everyday. By nature we are sinners dieing in need of a Savior to live. The only way to uproot evil is with Holy Fire. Meaning our weapon against the enemy is Fire. Just try it, next time Satan comes with his lies throw some fire on it, and watch what happens. Holy Fire. Begin to worship or pray in the Spirit. I'm telling you it is something you have to see. You can literally see Satan Fleeing. It's the most exhilarating thing to watch the enemy flee. It show's that he has no power over you. Our God is a Consuming Fire and nothing can penetrate His love for us. Father may your light shine in the midst of this dark world, so that all may see and know the love you have for them. Amen. Thanks for Reading.

I'm unashamed of Jesus Christ

Can you say this? I know of so many people that stand and declare this in there personal prayer closets, but as soon as they walk out the door they are doing as Peter did. Are you ashamed of Jesus Christ? We have to ask ourselves this question and be truthful with our answer. Because the longer we live this lie the farther we get from our Father. I guess As I do in every blog, I must start off with myself as the subject. I can honestly say at times my life reflects this type of unGodlyness. I can see many times where I am in my car driving, speaking of the name of Jesus and rejoicing in him. Then as soon as I get out it's as if I'm cowarding in my own fear of rejection. And every time I can see the Fathers face disappointed. It's a sad thing when you do so much for someone and in return get nothing. Our Father is not in it, to receive something, but just think how he must feel. He blesses us everyday, has given us grace, is an unconditional lover. And we still choose to reject him. When will we prove ourselves in his eyes by not being ashamed of him. By telling those around us that we are a Christian. By listening to Christian music on the radio when our friends are in the car. By not backing down when the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. No more holding back the promises of God. Let's rejoice in our inheritance. Princes to the king of all. I'm not scared are you.
