| Hey Everyone first I want to say that I am so sorry for my absence. It really has been a rough month, a busy one at that!!! I am so sorry that I havent been around. Truth is, I really feel the Lord shut my mouth for the last month on here for a reason, I needed to listen to Him. And with that said before It leaves my mind I want to dive into what I feel needs to be said. In my heart, there is a longing, for something real as is in yours no doubt. Otherwise we wouldnt be following the faith we claim we hold so dear. The truth is thought, do we really put into actions and live the way we say we live????? What we believe and what the Bible says is true, is that really something that Christians truly put in their everyday lives and live out for others to see???? My answer to this question is a frank no. We do not live the way we say we live because, quite frankly, we look nothing different than the world. We do the same things they do. We act the same way, dress the same way, talk the same way, you simply cannot tell us apart. We are so blended with the regular society that people dont see the difference in Christians than the rest of the world. What people see are people who live just like them during the week and go to church on Sunday and live totally different lives that are worlds apart. Its like your seeing night and day. What kind of message is that sending to the next generation??? What kind of message are we leaving for them to see???? They all think we are a bunch of radical hypocrites because we simply show the signs and symptoms of being a " Jekyell and Hyde" breed of people. For those of you who do not know of the Novel written by I believe ( its been a long while since I have read the book ) Robert Lewis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyell and Mr. Hyde is of a man who is a well respected doctor by day, and a raving madman by night. This good guy by day and bad guy by night routine at the beginning is very amusing and fun for him. As time progresses however, Mr. Hyde starts taking over more and more of this mans persona. He begins to lose the man he is known to be, the man he loves, Dr. Jekyell. Eventually it consumes him so much that he kills himself because he couldnt bare to see the man he had become. This my friends, is how Christianity is portrayed today. We act like a well respected Christian at church on Sunday, but when we leave the Sacutary on Sunday mornings our alter persona comes out and we live like Mr. Hyde thoughout the week. We simply cannot last long living this way. Who we feed is the one who lives. If you act more and more like Mr. Hyde and the world, guess who you're going to live like???? If you act more and more like Jesus, guess who you're going to live like????? People in the church are so afraid to admit their faults because we have become a judging people. We are so afraid of admitting our mess ups and failures to eachother because we think we have to act holier than thou. Thats not the way Jesus did it at all!!!!!!! When the prostitute was about to be stoned in the Street, did Jesus say " Welp, ya screwed up so you deserve to be punished." NO !!!!! JESUS CHALLENGED HER PERSECUTORS AND SAID " HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE !!!! " We all have sinned and messed up, we all have fallen short, He then asked her " Who is there left to condemn you?" and she said " None Lord" and the precious words of our Savior : " Then neither do I, go and sin no more!" He didnt condemn her for sinning, He embraced her and corrected her and sent her on the right path. But you see, we judge our own from within the Church, based upon their doctrines, their dress, what they do and how they do it, their theology, Why do we bicker back and forth like that when we are suppose to stand united????? I love Jesus and you love Jesus so what more do you need to accept me as a Brother????????? We NEED to live out our faith, we need to live Christ every second of every minute of everyday. We are testimony to His love and His mercy. People dont see that because we act no different than they do. Why should they follow Jesus if they dont see any differance than the way they already live???? What makes our ways so much better if you cannot see a difference????? Friends we need to accept eachother. We need to stop bickering and start loving one another as Christians. Whether your Baptist or Penntecostal, Methodist or Luthererun, We all love Jesus and we all should love eachother. If we dont unite as the Body, This world wont change. We need eachother, we need to live and love one another as Christ loves us, we need to love the non believers as well, to get love and respect you must first show love and respect. And thats why we need to show them the love and respect that Christ has shown us already on the Cross. Friends, We need eachother. We need to Change ourselves, to take the plank from our own eye so that we can remove the speck in our brothers eye. Let us get back to the basics, get back to the Bible, get back to Jesus!!!!!!! Dear Lord, Father God, I praise Your wonderful Name. The Name above every Name. You are so good to us Thank You so much for Your Love. Thank You for taking us back time and time and time again. No one can love us the way You can Lord. You are so understanding. Thank You for what You are going to do for us in the future Lord. You pave our way and You know all things before they happen. Jesus we love You and may we as a Body of Believers come together in Your Name Jesus and learn to love one another with the Love that You have shown us. You love us the same no matter what denomination we are. God You are so good I pray for revival fires to flow down from Heaven upon my Generation and the world. Lord please make us a Generation seeking Your Heart. God there are so many that are going to die without You, We NEED YOU GOD !!!! WE NEED YOU GOD !!!!! WE NEED YOU GOD !!!!!! I SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF MY LUNGS THAT THE WORLD NEEDS YOU THAT I NEED YOU JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD SAVE US FROM OURSELVES !!!!! SAVE US FROM THE DESTRUCTION THAT WE BRING ON OUR OWN. THAT WE BIND OURSELVES IN LORD !!!!! BREAK THE CHAINS AND FREE US FROM THE PRISIONS THAT WE LOCK OURSELVES IN !!!!! ONLY THROUGH YOUR BLOOD AND YOUR MERCY CAN WE BE MADE CLEAN!!!!! Jesus You are Good and You are God. I give You all the Praise Blessings and Honor, In the Precious Name of Jesus we pray, Amen. Friends, I know its been such a long time 31 days to be exact since I last posted. I am so sorry. I want to keep in touch better. You Xangans and Facebookers know that You are just as much a part of my family as are the ones who are biological. I love you all and I thank you for your prayers. You guys are so amazing listening to me and being there to pray and support me at all times. Thank you. From the depths of my soul thank you for being there for me. I love you all and I hope that the Lord speaks through to your life, that you may feel this message speaking to you, if it doesnt then God Bless you it wasnt written for you. But if it is, friend put it into pracitice, I am going through this too I am putting it into pracitce myself. The only way we can change the world, is if we first change ourself, Amen? Anyways I hope to be in touch more often Bless You my friends !!!!! Your Brother in Christ Jesus our King, Josh ( Galatians 2:20 ) | | |
| What will they say when I'm gone,
In words that are written in stone?
Under my name, what will they claim about me?
Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered.
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, we only get one life
Free me, my hands are tied
I'm so tired of wasting time
These endless inventions
Steal my attention from real life
And when its done, when its over
Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, we only get one life
And will the world see Christ
When they look at my life?
Oh, will the world see?
Mmm, come on, give me, give me, give me real life
And no more, no more, no more wasting time
Because we only, we only get one life (Just one Life)
Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, (Get one shot, at this one life) We only (One moment in time)
Because we only, we only get one life
I remember the first time I heard this song, I began to reflect on my own life. Have I really lived a legacy, something worth leaving behind if I were to die today? What would this world remember me for? I want to leave a Legacy, a legacy for Christ, I dont care if people know my name or not when I die, what I want, the legacy I want to leave, is if they dont know who I am, they do know who I served. They know that I love Jesus and went all the way for Him. I want that. I want and long to be used, I want to please Him, I want a Legacy worth remembering someone who went down swinging back to the wall fighting for what is true and pure, what is Holy and Just. If you were to die today, have you left a legacy that you would be proud of? what will people remember you for? and will the world see Christ when they look at your life? real questions need real answers and real action for real results! Its time to harvest people and lets leave a Legacy that God is proud of and we can be proud of too !!!! | | |
| I was just sitting here listening to some old tunes and I thought of Carman. lol not many people in my generation know of Carman, but he is an amazing musician and an amazing Christian, This is my absoulte favorite Carman song its great !!!! and I really feel that I should share it with you, read the lyrics and really let it soak in....... you people who know him, you know what I am talking about !!!! Anyways heres Carman! America Again George Washington, Thomas Jefferson
Samuel Adams, First Chief Justice John Jay
Names synonymous with the spirit of our country
Founding fathers of the U.S.A.
Over 200 years ago they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain
By divine call
Citing 27 biblical violations they wrote the Declaration of Independence
With liberty and justice for all
But something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone
For American liberty then put it in our schools as a light
Or since "Give me liberty, or give me death," Patrick Henry said
Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ
We eliminated God from the equation of American life
Thus eliminating the reason this nation first began
From beyond the grave I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead
You need God in America again
Of the 55 men who formed the Constitution
Fifty-two were active members of their church
Founding fathers like Noah Webster who wrote the first dictionary
Could literally quote the Bible chapter and verse
James Madison said, "We've staked our future on our ability to follow
The Ten Commandments with all our heart"
These men believed you couldn't even call yourself an American
If you subvert the Word of God
In his farewell address, Washington said, "You can't have national morality apart from religious principle," and it's true
'Cause right now we have nearly 150,000 kids carrying guns
To these war zones we call public schools
In the '40's and '50's student problems were chewing gum and talking
In the '90's, rape and murder are the trend
The only way this nation can even hope to last this decade
Is put God in America again
The only hope for America is Jesus
The only hope for our country is Him
If we repent of our ways stand firm and say
We need God in America again
Abe Lincoln said, "The philosophy of the classroom in one generation
Will be the philosophy of government of the next"
So when you eliminate the Word of God from the classroom and politics
You eliminate the nation that Word protects
America is now number one in teen pregnancy and violent crime
Number one in illiteracy, drug use, and divorce
Everyday a new holocaust of 5,000 unborn die
While pornography floods our streets like open sewers
America's dead and dying hand is on the threshold of the Church
While the spirit of Sodom and Gomorrah vex us all
When it gets to the point where people would rather
Come out of the closet than clean it
It's a sign that the judgment of God is gonna fall
If there's ever been a time to rise up Church, it's now
And as the blood bought saints of the living God proclaim
That it's time to sound the alarm from the Church house to the White House
And say, "We want God in America again"
I believe it's time for America to stand up and proclaim
That one nation under God is our demand
And send this evil lifestyle back to Satan where it came from
And let the Word of God revive our dying land
For Jesus Christ is coming back again in all His glory
And every eye shall see Him on that day
That's why a new anointing of God's power's coming on us
To boldly tell the world you must be saved
Because astrology won't save you, your horoscope won't save you
The Bible says these things are all a farce
If you're born again, you don't need to look to the stars for your answers
'Cause you can look to the very One who made those stars
History tells us time and time again
To live like there's no God makes you a fool
If you want to see kids live right
Stop handing out condoms and start handing out the Word of God in schools
The only hope for America is Jesus
The only hope for our country is Him
If we repent of our ways
Stand firm and say
We need God in America again
We need God in America
God in America
God in America again | | |
