Transformed: more then meets the eye

 transformed

Dear Heavenly Father, I need to be transformed Lord. Help me to come out of all of the normality’s of this world so that I can understand you. So that I can know you, please grant me the humility and patience to work through this transformation; taking each step one at time, each day one to the next Lord fill me with your love. In Jesus Name Amen

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Rejoice!

bible rejoiceDear Heavenly Father, Thank you for who you are, your gentle touch it comforts me, I can feel you are always close. Lord I give it in its entirety to you I know that you have everything in your hands, I know that you will take care of it Lord. Guard my heart; I will rejoice in everything that you do for me. In Jesus Name Amen.

Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Never!

 Never

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to love you more throwing away the love for the material possessions that surround me. Give me the strength to make you first in my life, not second and not below anything else in this world. In Jesus Name Amen

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”

Spring

Jesus is a spring of loveDear Heavenly Father, fill me with your love and grace, thank you for the gifts that you have given me and through you your knowledge and understanding. This helps me to face my day not fearing what is around the next corner. Thank you God for whom you are and being the best friend that anyone could ask for. In Jesus Name Amen

John 4: 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life

Shot to the heart

bible love

Dear Heavenly Father, flow through my heart and soul helping me to share the great love that you have shown me. Give me the strength to share that love with everyone that I meet throughout my entire day. In Jesus Name Amen

Colossians 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love

 

Bible Thumper


Are you a bible thumper
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have done for me and my family we are so grateful for everything that you do for us on a daily basis. When we have the opportunities throughout this day please give me the strength to share with others all of awesome things you have done in my life. In Jesus Name Amen

Colossians 3:16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Have you ever experienced something that was so good so overwhelmingly awesome that you just had to share it with everybody. In the business arena that is called marketing through “word of mouth,” when they do something for someone that is so worthy of the praise that people cannot help themselves but to tell everyone. When you get to know Jesus Christ it becomes just like that restaurant that you ate at it had the best food with service that was above and beyond, you cannot help but tell everyone. When you get great service or something happens that is so tremendous you know that it is hard not to go out and scream it from the roof tops. People like to use the phrase Bible Thumper as a offensive term. Bible thumper is someone who always shares the bible with others, so to put it quite firmly yes I am a Bible Thumper! Everything that God has done for me makes it impossible for me not to share, I want everyone to see and feel just what Jesus Christ can do for them! This word of mouth would be unbearable to keep in.

StOnEd

Could you throw it!
Could you throw it!

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to have a kind heart, one that understands that no one is perfect. There was only one who was perfect Lord and that was you, the only way for me to become more like you is to spend more time with you accepting your sacrifice. Help me to forgive those who have done me wrong accepting that they are human just like me who make mistakes,  help merecognize that we all have issues that we are working out. In Jesus Name Amen.

John 8: “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

What God do you Serve?

Bible Whos your godDear Heavenly Father, please help show the things that I have in my life that are interfering with the fullest relationship I can possibly have with you Lord. Take away the items that are in me that restrict the bond that I yearn to have with you. Make evident everything that is in the way lord. In Jesus Name Amen.

I was having a discussion with a good friend the other day about what we make important in our lives. It reminded me of something; it always stuck out in my head ever since I was a child when it happened. This “Loony old Fart” would always talk about the Gods that people serve and all of the Gods that human beings have. This guy upset me “How dare he blasphemy Gods name”, as I have gotten older and understand things a little more. God has enlightened my view point; I understand what that “Loony old Fart” was talking about. The definition of IDOLATRY:

1: the worship of a physical object as a god

2: immoderate attachment or devotion to something

In this definition the second meaning is what he has illuminated on. An attachment or devotion to something kind of makes you think. I have a few of these attachments; fishing, hunting and cars to name a few. I could make a much larger list but basically anything that you cannot bring yourself to live without. God has the best definition: Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Which leads into another avenue that most people do not think about, like the other, I have a problem with this one every once in a while. Definition: ARROGANCE: an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions. This is Gods Definition: 1 Samuel 15: 23 Arrogance like the evil of idolatry. In these two verses we have a lot to think about! Or at least I do, that “Crazy old Fart” was not crazy after all he was just using the shock and awe method. It stuck with me and made so that it was something that I contemplated for years before God showed me what was meant by what he had said. So Which God do You Serve?

Mission Possible

Turn the page!

Bible guideDear Heavenly Father, as I face this day of unknowns please surround me with your love always showing me the right paths I should take. Help me understand the things that I do not understand and aid me in my flight to gain more humility before you and others lord. In Jesus Name Amen

We are not the only ones that ask for help in Psalm 119: 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. God, time and again will answer: Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. So when we believe that we know what God has planed for us it is best to sit down and ask him Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. There is a reason why you have journeyed down the path you are on John 15: 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. Always remember this, he will take care of you in every aspect of your life even when it seems hopeless he is there with his hand out guiding us through what we are doing.

A light of the World!

Bible ready

Dear Heavenly Father, Shine brightly and show me the path you want me to travel. Rebuke anything trying to attack me and steer me in the right direction, lighting the way for a great day. In Jesus Name Amen

John 8:12  “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

What do you want?

Bible what do you wantJohn 1:38 Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

Reading the bible this morning God gave me something that slapped me in the back of the head. Have you ever asked yourself why am I following Jesus? I know that with the awesome music that our fellow Christians have created has shown so many people who the lord is. I ask that you sit down and ask yourself am I following Jesus because he is the one and only savior that died for my sins or am I following Jesus because it is “cool”. “In the Life Application Study Bible” it gave me something to think about: Following Christ is not enough; we must follow him for the right reasons. To follow Christ for our own purposes would be asking Christ to follow us to align with us to support and advance out our cause, not his.

Dear Heavenly Father, Open my eyes to see what the path is that you want me travel. I know that you have said that the path to righteousness is narrow please guide my steps so that I do not trip and fall off of this path! In Jesus Name Amen

 

Shout for the Lord!

bible shoutDear Heavenly Father, In this world that dislikes your name please help to give me the strength I need to share your name whenever I need to lord. Help me not to be ashamed of who you are so that through your love I can show others the love you have given me. In Jesus Name Amen

Luke 12:8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.

Psalm 40: 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

Pursuing

Bible word of godLord, Please help me to understand what you are trying to tell me. Guide me through these words and share with me what it is that I need to do. In Jesus name AMEN

This morning God put on my heart to share what he wants. People ask how should I believe, what should I follow, or what is real. The bible puts it best: Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. If you want to know what you should do, sit down pray for guidance and pick up the bible. When you pray for guidance he will share with you what he wants you to do, how he wants you to do it, and when.
