Regrets. I have had a few...

It's easy in the natural person to have regrets about the things I have done, and to get caught up in condemnation. But in the Spirit I realize that God, by faith, right now accepts me as I am, and if anything had been different, I might not even be alive right now. Now is the time to move forward.

What is your money worth?

It doesn't matter if you are worth a lot of money or make a great living. It doesn't matter if you have a minimum wage job or $100,000 in debt. When you die all of that adds up to a big fat ZERO. What are you doing to help someone's hope in eternity? What are you doing to help someone's hope now? If you aren't serving someone's spirit for God, you may die with nothing.

Don't die with nothing. Don't judge anybody else because when you do your own judgment is Now. As you judge others, the exact same judgment is on you. Serve God. Keep your eyes on the unseen things because that is what is eternal. Love one another because Christ lives for them just as He lives for you. Don't let Satan let you think you can judge because somebody doesn't seem successful, or even doubt their effort when you do not know what they are up to. You only know they are not where you are. Don't give Satan a stronghold by thinking you got it figured out.

Don't judge. You can never know what is going on in someone's heart and judging, you judge yourself and you die. Don't die but live!

What suffering?

The Spirit spoke today to me while reading Hebrews Chapter 12. No matter what I am going through, the perfect Man endured far more suffering than I have or ever will, and he did not even deserve it! My suffering can be directly attributed to the consequences of my own poor choices!

Then He ascended right on through this mess that is the world, making a mockery of it and those who think they are in charge, the deceivers who say i have no right to the grace of God and giving me power over sin and struggle. He sits at the right hand of the Father advocating for me at this very instant, against the charges of the enemy. Amen!

False humility

If your giving is out of "what can I give" instead of "what do they need," it is false humility, which is pride. Give to the needy, not because you need to give.

Can you run that by me again?

So much lately, when I have been in an instruction environment, it seems the person doing the instructing assumes I know stuff that actually don't, while at the same time assuming I don't know stuff that I actually. There is just a slight bit of miscommunication that I need to work on. How do I do that?

Slow Your Roll

As technology brings more and more information, it is becoming abundantly clear that more knowledge does not mean more education.

Look familiar?

What is End?

Throughout my life, I used to think that the position of "The Ends Justifies the Means" was a valid premise, since the End would of course be noble. I have done a complete 180 on this recently. First, who defines the ends? But more importantly, I have come to realize that the Means is actually the Journey and the only End on Earth is Death of the physical body. Every choice I make has to be justified in itself. We are all on a Journey, and our blessing is gaining an opportunity to express the love of God to others on their Journey. The Ends never justify the means, for the means is in itself the end.

Lukewarm

Who do you think God is more mad at, lukewarm Christians or atheists? Is it possible that those who call on the name of Jesus, but also judge others is a root-cause of atheism? Revelation 3:14,15 tells me that the Lord is not happy with those who are lukewarm, and who are therefore judgmental.

I have found that the closer I get to Christ, the less I am able to judge anyone, I don't care if they are atheist, Muslim, or Jew.  My judgement does not matter and God has proven that He is not fair. Fair has not one thing to do with it. If He were fair, we would all be damned. Praise God.

Can the bad behavior on the part of the Christian actually be the problem with the world?

God's part in the Journey

On my new Walk, I have discovered that #faith is a two-way street. In order to truly understand the power of faith, I have to be faithful with everything I have, everything that God has already given me. Even though it is finished, I have to meet God on His journey toward me. If He required any thing less of me, it wouldn't be #love. It's a relationship. I have choices to make, and actions to take, based on faith in God to do as He promised and praise Him for the work He has already done in my life.

Career shift?

Beginning to look at mechanical engineering technology associate degree at Blue Ridge Community College.

How does an employer pre-determine my value

I am again looking for employment. Above all else I want to prove that I can be of value to somebody. I have big skills and heart. I really want to serve people, find out what they need, and help them get it. I know if I provide value, it will be reciprocal relationship. That is the game now. Be of value and work hard at serving.

Old Earth?

Around here in WNC, I don't see macro erosion of the mountains. I see water taking the path of least resistance, not water wearing down the mountains. The water goes where the land tells it to.

Order of Life

I have decided the order of my life shall be Faith, friends, family, and football. Friends before family because I choose my friends. This does not mean family cannot be friends.
