What is it you really want 

Misery, what a concept. It loves to be fed, and without Christ it will take up residence in your soul. Contentment and Joy, the opposite of misery, both love to be fed, the only difference portrayed here is misery condemns, joy and contentment do not. Joy and Contentment are not feelings, they are characteristics of the Holy Spirit, and He does not force Himself on anyone. All He does is convict, beyond that it’s your choice to chose. So which you will feed. Will you chose the Lord? Will you decide to live? I’ve tasted of misery, it is fun for a while, as long as you are in control. It’s no longer a pleasure when you can’t even enjoy your own pity party. And when the darkness of your past haunts you, it leaves an emptiness that no human can fill. It is then that you cry out for help, yet it seems no one is there. It’s because you’ve walked away from the Lord. It is only one step back my friend, just turn around and He’ll be there to pull you out of your pit. 

Joy and contentment are not based upon feelings. If they were, we would not need God to lean on, nor would faith or trust be required. This is how God built the system. He wants us to depend on Him for our needs. He made it so we would need to rely on His Spirit for comfort and communion. Without it we become food for the wolves of this corrupted society. The enemy tries to defile our minds through the world’s passions. We must pray daily to be transformed, and to be called according to His purpose. Misery only takes you so far, it creates the power of greed, selfishness,draining you of all love, making you into a man or woman made of hate. You may not think you are that type of person, but if you do not follow the Lord, eventually something will occur that will cause you to form anger in your heart toward your neighbor. And that my friend births hatred.

Change my heart

-
To follow You is not a service, but a pleasure. Lord let me breathe Your fresh air. You have cloaked me with Your Grace; search me and know me. Leave no stone unturned, I expose all my darkest of thoughts unto you, and ask that You might renew my mind. Your gentleness is patient with me, and I thank you for your belief in me. I’m ready to start making some changes in my heart. Take the chisel and the hammer and start chipping away at my imperfections. I give You the story of my life. With tears flooding down my cheeks, I weep for this world, if only they could know the You I know! There is no anger in Your eyes only sorrow that this world has chosen to forget about You. He wants so much to be your Father and friend, yet you push Him away and say, “I don’t need God.” And so you go on with your empty life trying to fill it with things and achievements, but after your filled your empty again and need to be refilled again. Nothing you get or achieve sustains you forever, but Christ can.

The old tavern

-
As far as the eye could see, there were many wooden shelves, all carved from the old oak that used to be out back in the garden. The shelves held many boxes, all made from priceless pearls. You could hear the thumping coming from each box, that of a heart beat in one’s chest.  There was an old man, disgruntled yet somehow he seemed to have been there before. He admired the wood work in the old tavern, and when he came to the boxes; he made an astonishing discovery. Opening one of them, he found a tablet with a name etched in the stone. He blew off the dust of one of the tablets, as the name inscribed started to shimmer. Words jumped off the stone saying, “My beloved son in whom I am well pleased, enter in.” The name on the tablet started to transform into a bod. In the twinkling of an eye he saw the future in his hands. (the rapture) Afraid he dropped the box and it closed. The tablet and the hologram of the rapture with the name and words spoken were drawn back inside the box, an

A vow of Purity

-
A vow of purity A vow of purity, so much devastation on the news, and raunchy media, I want to encourage a media fast. Do what you can to keep your heart guarded from all wicked thoughts. And the things that reinforce these thoughts, such as music, television, etc. cut them out of your diet. For we are not to be of this world. We are to turn away from our sinful desires and follow Christ. A vow of repentance, we can say all we want that we are sorry, but will we really change. It will take starving our flesh, and feeding our spirits. As this fast goes on, you will become dumbfounded at how much you cut out of your life. You will find that the world has desensitized us all to it’s evil. So let’s partner with the Holy Spirit and truly live!
