True Religion!


For those of you who  go to school in Canada (Ontario to be specific, because am not sure how it is in other provinces) you will probably be nearing the end of your reading weeks (normally knows as spring/march break). But, our schools being the way they are, they give us a reading week. It is literally a reading week, for those who are actually productive, because the week after is usually filled with midterms and assignments. I wanted to be productive in a different city so I traveled  I know I am making it sound like I went somewhere far, nope just half an hour away.  I had an amazing time, and I did spend two days in the library, so it was fun and productive. However, nothing beats the lesson I learnt and the verse the Lord put on my heart during my reading week. I found out that one of my closest friends, whom I refer to as my cousin, sponsors a 6 year old girl. The little girl had mailed a hand written letter with her picture. In this she stated how because of my cousin’s support she can go to school and that she is doing her best to get good grades. What that letter did to me, only my heart, the Lord and the two that were with me can tell.

I had seen a picture saying James 1:27 movement on facebook.  James 1:27 is one of those verses that rang a bell but I wasn’t quite sure what it was. I used my bible on my phone to search for the verse and I found it, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27. I read it over and over again. I thought of the contrast in this world, how so many people are starving and others are very very very well off! I thought of the word religion. I thought of what people like myself can do to make a difference, people that are not well off but that are living very comfortably.

It can be done!! The lord put this on my heart, it can be done! We can start one dollar at a time, one person one step at a time. We can start a James 1:27 movements from within school, then a city then a country then we can have it worldwide. For change to come about, we need to start from our selves. What are some things we can give up, things that are very extravagant on our end? By reducing extravagance then we can keep some money aside, look for a humanitarian organization you trust. Then start Giving! God said for us to be followers of the True Religion, we need to feed His hungry children, comfort the widows, by being watchful of our own deeds and keeping ourselves pure in mind and heart. I strongly believe this would make God happy!

Notes:
  • We can do less of the things we don’t need and do more for those who need it!
  • We will please our father in heaven by being a helping hand
  • We can be Religious, For real, in truth!!

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
