Something absolutely amazing happened on Wednesday 16 2010. The Fire of God rained down on our youth group. i believe that god is going to do something amazing with our church and many churches in this nation. I Thank God that this is going to be a weekly thing, and that we will be carriers of the Holy Spirit and that everyone we come into contact with will be effected by the presence of the lord. another totally awesome thing God did in my life was he used me! let me repeat that just so you can get the full effect...HE USED ME! some of you may be like so what. but to me it blows my mind. when i was younger i thought "yeah right there are much more qualified people to be used by God, Instead of me." um wrong. God wants to use all of us. we just have to listen to the Holy Spirit and be obedient to Him. something Incredible happened to my Brother yesterday also. we were praying for him and he got filled with the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues. now i just have to keep on praying that the same thing will happen to my sister. ha ha I'm telling you right now this is just the beginning, God is doing something. i don't now how many times i have to say this for people to believe it. Just get ready, and come on for the ride..its gonna be fun.


Until next time

My thoughts for today are about girls. it really confuses me why they act the way they do with boys. Don't get me wrong I'm not judging anyone but it seems like instead of putting their trust and love in Jesus they let some Immature Boy handle their heart (no offense guys i know not all of you are immature). what seems to escape some of these girls mind is that guys cant take care of your heart like Jesus can. God created your hearts people, i think he would know what they need. I would just like to share a quick story with you guys. If you read my first blog than you probably know that i have recently been changed at revival meetings held at a local church. Well it wasn't just me who went to these meetings, a group of us went. One of the girls that was with me, (lets call her Jamie) has a boyfriend, (lets call him Bob) and one night Jamie was completely changed from the inside out. she kept going to revival for the remainder of that week. Monday she wasn't there. We thought she was sick or something, Tuesday another no show. we had to find out through Myspace that she had been hanging out with her boyfriend. don't take this the wrong way, we weren't making a big deal out of her ditching church. It was just the fact that she gave up what happened to her at the meetings. she experienced something totally amazing and when the week was over she let it slip through her fingers all so she could hang out with her boyfriend. i don't know about anyone else but if a guy was getting between me spending time sitting under the Anointing then i would dump that boy right away. Do me a favor girls wait till you are out of school to start dating. it makes everything a whole lot easier, and if a guy asks you out invite him to church.. you never know what happens.

We need Jesus in this world more than ever. You look at places like the mall and see everyone who look OK on the outside but are heart broken and so hungry for god on the inside. it makes me feel sick inside that for so long i have kept the Jesus that lives inside me away from the people that are reaching out for him. We pray for revival all the time but we just watch from the sidelines as people go on without the love of Jesus in them. Well its time for that to stop; us Christians need to get in gear, and get bold. No more "Preaching" We need to start Telling. like the speaker at our revival meetings say. "Once we go to heaven we are going to wish we did more for the Kingdom of Heaven, Were going to wish we gave more, Were going to wish we told more." so right now i think i need to do every thing i can to share with people what my God has done for me, and what he would do if you would just let him.

I haven't always been this passionate about Jesus. sure i was raised as a Christian and taught by parents who loved Jesus themselves. I went to the same church for almost my whole life. I never read my Bible and i just followed the Rules like a good little Christian girl. Like that one saying goes..."Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a Garage makes you a car." I don't even think what i have become through Jesus should be called "Christian" In general christian means to be Christ like. Which isn't just asking yourself WWJD? (what would Jesus do?) its things like giving your car away to a complete stranger or giving someone the clothes off your back..not some hammy downs you outgrew your senior year of High School. Anyways back to my Testimony. So i was basically just going through the motions in my Relationship with Christ. whenever the pastor would take alter calls, I would go because I thought it was what I was supposed to do in church. I went on like that for Years Until about 4 Weeks ago I went to this meeting called Revival. it completely turned my life around. it was in those meetings that i finally experienced the Fire of God. I wasn't just falling over when someone put their hands on me because i thought it was Mandatory. i went down because i simply just couldn't stand up, his presence was all over me, so much in fact that i also went through the JOY JOY. This is when Gods presence fills you and you start to heal from the inside by laughing uncontrollably as many of you probably know laughter is medicine for your soul. and my Relationship has increased very much since Yesterday July 11 2010. If you don't know Jesus and you would like to ask him to come into your Heart I will post a prayer you can pray to God. there is just one thing i would like to say I heard this song on the radio one time and it said that some people try to find Gods love in the bottom of a bottle or in the back pew in your church or with someone who is not your spouse; some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus, that's where i found it how about you?



Prayer: (something like this)
Lord for majority of my life I have been walking my own path and Haven't let you lead me completely. I trust you with my life lord, i don't want to go another day without you lord. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive me of my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and Rose again. Thank You Jesus for loving me
Amen
