Where are the lions?
We all forget names, we forget doctors appointments, we forget phone numbers. We label those as mistakes, unless one day it becomes your continuous reality. I'm reading an autobiography, "changing my mind" written by a successful Christian man who was struck by brain damage 8 years ago. He speaks about how he's no longer a man thinking, not a thinker, but a new man who is learning, a learner. Using the phrase "where are the lions?" he says this, "Through these last 8 years I've wondered, where are the lions? I don't notice them attacking me like they haven't ate all day, I don't notice God making them obey and be stripped away from my damaged brain? Where are the lions."
We often think the same way, we think a bad situation must go away for us to learn more, and grow more. But that is so far from the truth, we keep wondering where the lions are, or when are they going away? When we should learn that our Maker wants us there. there. and that those lions are here, to jump at us and attempt to shove sin down our throats. God can take a bad situation out of your life in the snap of a finger, yes, but the sooner you realize those hungry lions are here to stay and make you stronger, the sooner you will grow into something that can over come the depths of sin, and fall into the depths of Gods love.
"2 Corinthians 4:18- So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen in temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
No longer a mission, a journey.
As humans we create goals, missions, planning to accomplish them. We accomplish our goal, celebrate in pride, and move on, right? Well since my spiritual body has grown, I've come to a conclusion, BALONEY. I've made it a mission to save as many souls as I can, and I realized that "mission" will NEVER end! I will continue in my faith, and push Gods anointing power until the day I go meet my father, and then the souls I have touched will touch others, and it will become a eternal journey, a journey full of passion and adoration! I just cant help but think that how you have impacted someone, is not over, you are not done. This is no longer a mission, but a journey.
"Psalms 121:8- The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever."
Your journey starts here.
Their is so many people who are hungry, hungry for love, attention, comfort, something greater! they may not even realize, that what they need is God. So this is for YOU, the person that is starving for compassion! It doesn't matter, how old, or how young, you are, you can start fresh!! you can feed off good fruit, and surround your self with those who have pure hearts. You are the child of the RISEN KING! You have the right to grasp hold of a life of holiness, and grace that is given to you, with no charge, except a return of love. How amazing!!!
"Psalms 119:105- Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Start an eternal journey in Christ right NOW!! It will change your heart for a more beautiful purpose.

unchanging truth
Prophet Isaiah
{ Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the fatherless, plead the case of the window. 'Come now, lets reason together" says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are obedient, you will eat from the best in the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. Isaiah 1:16-20 }
The people of Judah did not think they deserved forgiveness, and didn't think they needed it. They traded God for idols, so God sent prophets to bring the people back to him.
Isaiah being one of them, he warned the people that if they did not change their ways, God would punish them, and that's exactly what happened, They continued to ignore God, and eventually were carried off into captivity.
BUT God would never just end it right there. God punishes sin, which is only fair. But because he is passionate and merciful, he promises forgiveness and restoration. Isaiah not only saw the upcoming punishment, but he saw the day where the people of Judah would rejoice Gods word, and "reason together".
Scarred sin
Imagine this, you're wearing a new white shirt, and you spill your red snow cone all over it. NO matter how much you scrub, and wash that white shirt, it will never be completely clean, or white again. Sin is just like that red snow cone, it has left you with a permanent stain, that you can't get rid of. But God can. No matter how bad a situation is, God is always able to wash away your sin, and make you perfectly clean.
God sees you sinning, as he did the people of Judah, but he also envisions the day you rejoice in holy spirit, do it now, don't waste time, pay attention and give your life to our sweet holy God.
