Waiting for the right one!

‎"Create in me a Pure Heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." - Psalm 51:10
Purity:
The bible makes it clear that we are to live a lifestyle of purity. True love waits. And while you’re waiting for your true love, keep your heart, thoughts and words pure as well. It’s convicting and humbling when we realize that purity doesn’t stop when we say “I do.” We are all called to live pure lifestyles, with pure hearts and pure thoughts. Being Pure in every area of our lifestyle is a continuing process and We are all works in progress through God!

Fellowship with the Lord

There is one lesson that I want people to learn. It is the absolute necessity of fellowship with Jesus each day. God greatly desires this fellowship with man. He gave Jesus to man for the purpose of restoring fellowship with Him. Our fellowship should be with the Father, Son and The Holy Spirit and with one another (2 Cor.13:14; l Jn.l:3-7). If we must have fellowship with God, what are the secrets to true fellowship with God?
1. The Word Of God
2. Absolute Obedience
3. The First Love
4. Wholly For Christ

Faith??

Sunday, October 14, 2012
The things that some people allow to tear them apart are things that made me strong. What is wrong with you? Have you no faith? Do you not serve a living and powerful GOD? Or am I serving a greater God than the one you claim to serve? Because that is not possible when you are serving my GOD, trusting my GOD. He always make a way. He always turn the situation around and allow that thing to bring glory to his name. He always put the devil to shame. Some people just too weak in their faith. I can't be bothered. I'm too blessed.

God's word to Bunco

THE PERFECT LOVE LETTER:
God applauds our search for truth and meaning. He gave us an inquisitive mind - one that refuses to accept an opinion purely at face value but keeps searching for truth. He has written a beautiful book with us in mind. In this volume, He tells the breathtaking story of His Son's sacrifice for us and his miraculous defeat over our greatest enemies - satan and death. He explains His amazing plans for our life and directs us on the best path to achieve our purpose.
Study this book, for His words give life, wisdom, and guidance. As we eagerly examine the Scriptures, we will see His love more clearly. We will better understand His kingdom and His purpose for our life.
He longs to spend time with us daily. Read and reread His love letters to us. Listen as He speaks to us with grace and wisdom about our relationships, marriages and lives.

What the bible says about blaming others?

STOP THE EXCUSES -ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY !! LIVE GODLY ! RUN THE RACE ! PRESS ON ! READ ON MY FRIENDS !

'An excuse is a way to justify our wrong conduct !Poor excuses try to rationalize sin .This is not the 'honest godly life 'and we must stop making excuses ! We blame others for our sin and it gets us in trouble .It is 'far better' to admit we have done wrong , seek forgiveness and move forward! Hebrews 12:1'...let us lay aside every weight ,and the sin which doth so easily beset us ,and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.' We run the race with endurance by throwing off any sin which seeks to slow us down.We do not sit with a lazy spirit, we press on with diligence and we run ! Our eyes are riveted on Jesus the Victor who spurs us on !! [Hebrews 12:2]

Gen.3:12 We see Adam blaming Eve for his sin! He even indirectly blamed God for giving him 'the women'.

Then Eve blamed the serpent for her actions .Both were dishonest by bl aming someone else !So excuses go all the way back to the 1st sin as did blaming others.How about you ? Do you blame others for the 'words' you say and your 'actions' that do that not please God .You have a free will don't you ? No one can make you sin not even the devil ! Take full responsibility for your life .

Exodus 32 :21 ' And Moses said to Aaron , 'What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them ?" Exodus 32:24 now here comes Aaron's lame awful excuse and the big 'blame game' -'And I said to them 'Whoever has any gold , let them break it off .So they gave it to me , and I CAST IT INTO THE FIRE , AND THIS CALF CAME OUT.'Wow they worship the golden calf and sin against God and when confronted make excuses !!! Look at Exodus 32:4 ' And he received the gold from their hand , and he fashioned it with an engraving tool , and made a molded calf .Then they said , 'This is your god , O Israel , that brought you out of the land of Egypt.' This was blatant idolatry and Aaron lied to Moses and made excuses !! We often do the same thing because of pride or 'saving face'. We try to blame our sin on circumstances beyond our control .But the Bible clearly says you are 100% accountable to God for you actions ! Romans14 :12 ' So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.'LETS GET REAL .LETS GET HONEST .LETS LIVE GODLY LIVES .LETS ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT WE DO ! 

Child of God!

we DO NOT know WHO we ARE.... and we do NOT know who we can BECOME... and once we DO KNOW.. then we continue to LIVE BENEATH our PRIVILEGE.....and abundance of life... SEEMINGLY escapes most of US... but let us take a closer look at who we are at BIRTH.... and what we can BECOME... through *CHOICE*.....

"How can I become a child of God?" Answer: “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). “You must be born again” When visited by the religious leader, Nicodemus, Jesus did not immediately assure him of heaven. Instead, Christ said, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again” (John 3:3). The first time a person is born, he inherits the sin nature that stems from Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden. No one has to teach a child how to sin. He naturally follows his own wrong desires, leading to such sins as lying, stealing, and hating. Rather than being a child of God, he is a child of disobedience and wrath. “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath” (Ephesians 2:1-3). As children of wrath, we deserve to be separated from God in hell. Thankfully, the passage continues, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved” (Ephesians 2:4-5). How are we made alive with Christ / born again / made a child of God? We must receive Jesus! Receive Jesus “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—” (John 1:12). This passage clearly explains how to become God’s child. We must receive Jesus by believing in Him. What must we believe about Jesus? First, we must recognize that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who became man. Born through the power of the Holy Spirit by the virgin Mary, Jesus did not inherit Adam’s sin nature. Therefore, He is called the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:22). While Adam’s one disobedience brought the curse of sin on the world, Christ’s perfect life can cover our sinful ones. Our response must be to repent (turn from sin), trusting His perfect life to purify us. Second, we must have faith in Jesus as Savior. God’s plan was to sacrifice His perfect Son on the cross to pay the punishment we deserve for our sin: death. Christ’s death frees those who receive Him from the penalty and power of sin. Finally, we must follow Jesus as Lord. After raising up Christ as the Victor over sin and death, God gave Him all authority (Ephesians 1:20-23). Jesus leads all who receive Him; He will judge all who reject Him (Acts 10:42). By God’s grace giving us repentance and faith in the Savior and Lord, we’re born again to new life as God’s child. Only those who receive Jesus—not merely knowing about Him but relying on Him for salvation, submitting to Him as Master, and loving Him as the supreme treasure—become God’s children. Become a child of God. Just as we had no part in our natural birth, we cannot cause ourselves to be born into God’s family by doing good deeds or conjuring up faith of our own. God is the one who “gave the right” according to His gracious will. “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1; emphasis added). Thus, God’s child has nothing to be proud about but boasts only in the Lord (Ephesians 2:8-9). A child grows up to look like his parents. Similarly, God wants His children to become more and more like Jesus Christ. Although only in heaven will we be perfect, a child of God will not habitually, unrepentantly sin. “Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother” (1 John 3:7-10). Make no mistake—a child of God cannot be “disowned” by sinning. But someone who “practices” sin (i.e. consistently enjoys sin without heed for following Christ and His Word) reveals that he was never born again. Jesus told such people, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire” (John 8:44). God’s children, on the other hand, no longer crave the gratification of sin but desire to know, love, and glorify their Father. The rewards of being God’s child are immeasurable. As God’s child, we are a part of His family (the church), promised a home in heaven, and given the right to approach God in prayer as Father (Ephesians 2:19; 1 Peter 1:3-6; Romans 8:15). Respond to God’s call to repent of sin and believe in Christ. Become God’s child today!

Keeping the faith alive!

This weekend i learned something that i had just went thou with Kai and now i am facing it with the twin girls that the church watches while the parents are at the church and signing for the deaf people. From the moment that i learned that the girls are in foster care that i would not get attached to them but now that i am attached to them. I just found out that they are going back to their parents. I hope that the parents will bring them to the church. It's going to be a big shock for the girls. So i have decided that once the girls are back with their biological parents that i am going to take a week break so it will give me a chance to recover.

Joy to Joy

J= Jesus First
O= Others second

Studying God's word

During the day; I love to take time and read the bible and seek God's plan for me today. It's the most important thing for me to do is to take time away from my busy day and get my bible study time in. I mean that God wants you to learn from his word and follow his plan for you!
I tried doing 15 minutes in the morning and then 15 minutes before i go to bed to take time and read from the day!

God's word and the plan!

what happen in 2011 should stay in the past!
God doesn't want you to hold on to the past. There for you really need to let shit go and move foward!
Ducks wins!
The ducks win their superbowl!
some rules that i would want to follow when i have a family of my own
1. Always use soft words, even when you don’t feel well. 2. Always display kind actions and joyful attitudes, even if you have been mistreated. Have the right response by quickly forgiving others in your heart even before they ask. 3. Always be enthusiastic and look for opportunities to praise others' character. 4. Always deflect praise and be grateful to God and others for the ways they have benefited your life. 5. Always use manners and be respectful of others and their belongings. 6. Always do what is right, even when others may not, or when no one is looking. 7. Thank God for how He made you, for what He has given you and everything He allows you to go through. (Romans 8:28) 8. Don't mock or put others down. Develop compassion and pray for others. 9. Never argue, complain, or blame. Quickly admit when you have done wrong and ask for forgiveness (even if you were only 10% at fault). Don't wait till you’re caught. Be sure your sins will find you out. He who covers his sin will not prosper, but he that confesses and forsakes it shall find mercy. 10. Have a tough accountability/prayer partner to daily share your heart with and to keep you in line (your parents, spouse). The power of sin is in secrecy. 11. Be attentive and look for ways to serve others with sincere motives and no thought of self-gain. 12. Think pure thoughts (Philippians 4:8, Romans 13:14). 13. Always give a good report of others. Don't gossip! Never tale-bear unless physical harm will come to someone. (Use Matthew 18.) 14. Never raise a hand to hit. 15. Never raise a foot to kick. 16. Never raise an object to throw. 17. Never raise a voice to yell. 18. Never raise an eye to scowl. 19. Use one toy/activity at a time. Share! 2o. Do your best to keep your surroundings neat, clean and organized. 21. Never let the sun go down on your wrath. (Don’t go to bed angry or guilty) 22. Amendment J.O.Y. - -Put Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last.
