Let your light shine!


When I heard of the Boston Marathon bombing was very shocked and saddened by the resulting destruction. I think what was shocking for me was to hear that the second suspect is only 19 years old!! 19?? 19??? He is still a teenager, he is probably still in school. Wow 19? What is this world coming to?? What are we doing about things like this? Are we just momentarily shocked and then we go on living our lives because it has not affected us directly? But what if you knew the 19 year old? What if he was a kid in your neighborhood? What if you knew the people who had gotten seriously injured or worse, passed away? I feel we need to start living lives that are empathetic. We need to stop and realize the world does not revolve around our busy lives alone..there is far more to it than that! I was not planing on writing about this but I guess I shall continue as the Spirit leads!

As a Christian who comes across very many young and old people who seem to have lost hope in life what do I have that can change their lives? I have Christ! I have a light I can shine into their lives. Very many times we walk past people who are in obvious pain, not just physical but emotional pain and we do not do anything about it! The 19 year old suspect is now a suspect the damage is already done. But, could we have prevented troubled people from doing such things, or even from committing suicide if we had invested five minutes of our time to talk to them? Could we have prevented these things by shining our light into their lives? A lot of questions we can not answer now!

Things we can do from now own, start with our own family and friends. Teach kids the values you have a Christian! Teach them who Christ is by living a life reflecting of Him and His character. They will surly grow up with a firm foundation, foundation made on the Rock Himself, Jesus Christ! “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”Proverbs 22:6. And for everyone else, do what you do best, Let your light shine! “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16.

Notes

  • Take Time to notice the people around you, they might be waiting for a light to be shone in their lives
  • Christ teaches to share each others burdens, start looking around you will find people close to you are weary from carrying their burden alone!
  • Shine your light to the dark world!!
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...
