RISE!!!!!



John 20:9
for until then they still hadn't understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead
 
The life we live is full! Full of tears, lessons, and seasons.  The perceived failures of our lives are opportunities for GOD. . . Yet the world will never understand why we cling to a GOD that allows us to live in such a world. For the worst day on earth is better than the best day in hell. Consequently the best day on earth is nothing compared to a second in heaven. With this in mind praise GOD when you are going through. When we think of the humiliated, broken body of Christ on the cross we rejoice. We rejoice because it should have been us. Even though the act was horrible, the result was beautiful.
When you are going through trials, the world will not understand your praise. When you are broken, crucified, and humiliated, the world cannot comprehend why you are at peace.  Before the rise there must be a fall. Count on the falling times in your life. Praise GOD when life comes against you. Rejoice when your life presents an opportunity for GOD to work. 
When you rise the world will see you shining with the glory of GOD. The world will finally understand why you can have joy when your world is falling down around you. Your praise will be justified. Even though Jesus had told the disciples many times of his death, and resurrection they didn’t understand until they saw the risen Lord.  Rise up, even when you are at your lowest. Rise up, even when the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Pray up, look up, and rise up because soon GOD will lift you up. GOD will justify your trials with the blessings sown in praise during your valley. I know some of you are going through a valley, and have no words for what you have seen and experienced. I know that there is pain in your life. I understand that some of you are broken.  However just as Jesus was broken and restored, we also will rise! When Jesus got up, you got up! When Jesus got up sin and death had to sit down and shut up. When Jesus got up the world . . . no, your world was put back together.
Be encouraged,
I love you always, and in all ways.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...

Be Encouraged!!

Ready or Not: Here Life Comes Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I am starting this blog in response to the excuses I have had as to why I am not doing more for the kingdom of GOD. I have been in the USAF for 7 years and have been a studying to become a Chaplain and pastor for the past 7 years. I have been called into ministry for the past 17 years.. I have had a strong pulling in my soul to serve in full time ministry and have let myself put up blocks in my mind because of my commitment to my country as a military member. This showes a weakness in my heart and mind. I realize that just because I am not a full time Pastor or in "fulltime ministry" does not mean I do not have the opportunity to minister on a daily basis. Realize that no matter where you go or what you do there are opportunities to share GOD's word and work for him. ...

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...
