Knowing our ROLE

It is important as Christians, better yet as confessors of our faith; that we recognize our role in life. As well as the church, we must perform according to our calling and destiny. We all have roles in life, if you are a proclaimed Christian our role is to guide those who dont believe to Jesus. We must speak to them, (not preach to them) but tell them about the wonderful works of our Father. Tell about his saving grace and undeserved mercy and favor. If this means giving a testimony, then by all means do so. If they look at you crazy, then just excuse them, and tell them how far Jesus has brought you. Minister to them, if you are a worship leader, then it is your duty to paint the picture as you offer praise. You dont have to tell them to stand and give GOD praise, they will understand your testimony, and probably relate to your test. If you are a musician, you are to minister through GOD in each note you play. It is your duty to minister through your music, find that lala land or that closet, go in and present your music unto the body of Christ as you were presenting your music to our FATHER. My praise dancers you must minister in your moves, you paint the picture with your hands and facial expression. It is your duty to minister through your silent interpretation of praise and worship. My Pastors, Bishops, Reverends, Evangelists, Ministers, and Prophets, you all must teach us the word, help save the souls that are lost, confused, the ones that are seeking Christ but are struggling and need help. It is your duty to lend a hand, a ear, anything that helps this soul become among the body of believers. You must acquire trust from your congregation, as well as respect. Your congregation is not your financial loan, lenders, or obligations. They are your followers, flock, house, and most of all family. Whatever your congregation as a whole, or individual inquires about it is your responsibility to give them your faith based opinion to the best of your ability, then you may give them any outlook you have on the test at hand. All of us have work to do while here on the face of this Earth. Although we may not fully understand our potential, we must pray for a deeper understanding, and a deeper relationship with Jesus. Pray for an increase of faith, and an abundance of understanding. Once you recognize your role, and accept its duties then you must put in work, and perform according to your calling. Making sure it is pleasing unto Christ and acceptable in his sight. KNOW YOUR ROLE, AND PRIORITIZE YOUR DUTIES WHICH YOU WERE CALLED TO PERFORM!

Separating our flesh

First off, I'll define flesh. The flesh is the physical, mortal part of man. The flesh is limited. Flesh is not our spirit. NOW, the battle between flesh and our SPIRIT; is the flesh speaks, imitates and stands as a vessel for our sins. Its what most of us blame our faults and mishaps on. The flesh provides the occasion and stimulus for a number of sins. Our flesh causes us to sometimes deny CHRIST. Now the works of the flesh is evident,it's explained as  sexual immortality, impurity and sexuality. In the first book of JOHN, the second chapter, and fifteenth through seventeenth verse; the BIBLE tells us "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world,the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions,is NOT from the FATHER but is of the WORLD. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." This simply means do not take pleasure in the worldly matters of our FATHER'S footstool, the money, cars, clothes, (and well you know the other one); for these things can never amount to the heavenly and eternal treasure GOD ordains us with if we keep his commandments, and abide by the enscripted owner's manual, which some of us call THE WORD. Now even though our flesh may be different, for instance: my flesh has a tendency to curse, and sometimes participates in activities of SIN, however our flesh is of one nature, and that is SIN. Those things which we know is not of CHRIST or CHRIST like is flesh. When were doing wrong and we recognize these matters and still pursue them, that also is our flesh. Our SPIRIT is what tells us to correct these mistakes, it's what drives us to activate our FAITH and cast out those wicked demons. Our SPIRIT commands us to heal and deliver those ways which we wish to differentiate from flesh. At the end of our days, it's the SPIRIT which will come and recieve us again.

Wedding Bell Bliss!

LOVE - There is no greater love than Christ! I must be the first to say, I am overjoyed this morning! Now the bible says in Proverbs 18:22, "he who findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord!" I'm observing my surroundings and this weekend three lovely couples have announced their enagement. (keep in mind its only Saturday) To find a companion you would want to spend the rest of your life with is remarkable, but even more its a blessing. With no interferences, these couples have overcome the struggles in relationships (miscommunication, no communication, infidelity, etc.)
They didnt just throw in the towel and give up! We must remember to center GOD around everything! He should be first in our relationships, and we should pray for those things we wish to take place. If it being in the Lord's will then it will be so in our relationship! Prayer changes things! YES! Even in relationships we must activate our faith. Blessings come with patience! None of these relationships were the "i know its only been 3 months but I love you, so marry me" relationships. Be patient that thing which you are praying and seeking GOD for is on its way!  Congratulations to the three lovely couples! I'll be there to cheer you on!

Oh M Gee!
This is my first post for my blog! As I continue in faith, I pray that souls seek Christ. Therefore by understanding religion isnt just a toy. It cant be played with and put down to accept Christ and be saved is a privelege and shouldn't be taken for weakness. There are daily struggles that come with being saved, its a battle to fight off the enemy. The Lord solaces us and he tells us to be still and he will fight our battles. Along the course of this blog, I hope you will gain insight on the struggles of being young but confessing to be saved! This is only the first step. Now bring forth any open discussons or topics you would like to expound upon.
