Accepting salvation without declaring His name...

There are so many young believers today that will accept the gift of salivation that Jesus gives but will not proclaim His name or live according to the Word. The "spirit" of compromise, and acceptance has overtaken them to a point that they stand on no foundation, their lives are like sinking stand.

If given an opportunity to speak the Gospel, they will pass it by, with the excuse of "I don't know anything" Or " I am not educated to do that" Or even " I don't have the heart too". What is funny is some of the greatest preachers, teachers, and leaders of the past were "uneducated". The difference is they allowed the Holy Spirit to direct them. There is an example in scripture of a man, who knew only of the baptism of John. His name was Apollos, you will find him in Acts chapter 18. Verse 24. He was an educated man yes, but of course if we think of the education he might have received, it would be one of the Jewish ways, customs, and religion, not on Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Yet Apollos spoke accurately on the accounts of Jesus. How is that so? He was an uneducated in the matters of Jesus, in the accounts of Christ, how could He possibly teach on it ACCURATELY?

So often we read on this third party of the trinity- You know Him, you know He dwells within you (supposively), He is the voice in the darkness, Or the guidance through the Word, and He intercedes for use before the Throne when we don't know what to say. Yes the Holy Spirit... the problem is we know He is there, we read about Him in scripture but within us, we do not believe in the power He has to use us (an empty uneducated shell) to bring the Gospel to anyone. How do some so truly believe in His power? Such as people of the Pencostal Faith Or charismatic Faith and others seem to know of Him, truly believe the Word is without error and yet do not believe in His power to use them to bring forth the gospel?!

Oh Lord help your people... remove the blinders that the enemy has place to keep us (your children) frozen from spreading the Word, glorifying your Name and living as your redeemed in this lost world.

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
