The miricle of finding someone

Where's Waldo part 2.
Have u seen her part 2
July 26, 2009

Genesis 24:1-4
Mathew 8:5-13

Jesus is saying that I have never seen anyone with faith like this
centurions faith. Faith comes with the measure that u use. Therefore
we should pray that the Lord remove anything that's not like him
within us. There is a revalation that comes only from the
spirit of
God
& that's very important b/c God moves at our measure of faith. In
mathew 8 verse 8 the centurion understands grace & unmerited favor. He
realizes that he can't earn the blessings of the Lord b/c in himself
he doesn't feel worthy. God heals just b/c he's God & not b/c we've
earned it. You might not think u have a right to be in Jesus face but
like the centurion we should have fAith & do not allow ur lack of
deserving have anything to do with the blessings u should recieve.
There's something that happens in ur life when ur determined to have a
miricle.

Genesis 24 (continuation from last week/blog)
Verse 10 & 16:
3) look good..do the best u can & be virtuous. U may not be a virgin
but be a born again virgin. U dint have to get somebody who has never
been with someone. It's says a
virtuous woman not a virginous woman.
That's 4 men & women. Verse 22: have something..bring something to
the table..let ur plan be laid out. Come with what u can offer rather
than what u need.
4) verse 17-20
This was more than him asking can u make me sandwich & she got an
attitude. She got him a drink & his crew. Workers look for workers &
servants connect with servants. It's hard to find a servant if ur not
willing to serve. If ur selfish u will end up with someone selfish. If
u have a nasty mouth u will end up with someone with a nasty mouth.
Show in urself what u expect/want to see in ur future partner. Woman
who want to be someones wife have to realize ur going to be a "help
me"..can't be a queen until u already to serve a King. It's not about
u AT first. You are a wing man/co-pilot to someone elses vision.
What's this mans vision/dream? What is it that God is telling him to
do? How can I help him?

5) Verse 21: watch. Take a step back & watch without saying anything.
See what someone is really about. You should know in 6-9mo what type
of person ur dealing with. Verse 22: woman judge the value/worth of
the gift. Who is he? What happens when he's mad? U don't know what
kind of tea u have until u put in hot water.
Alot of times when we date ppl they meet our agent & not the real us.
Lol
6) Verse 23-33 check out the family. See what mama & nem like..how
does the family flow. If her mama is crazy & ur girl is defending her
mamas crazy then she got some crazy down in her. Lol Family says alot
about a person. Woman be aware of how he treats his mother. If he has
unfirgiveness issues with his mother is going to come back on u. Who
does he submit to? Does he run to his moms every day to empty the
trash u need to know that.
7) Verse 52-60
Be ready 2go!! what are u waiting for?start towards marriage. If she
meets ur list and uve watched her & things line up GO! U shouldn't
date anyone that u couldn't see urself marrying anyway. Don't waste
eachothers time. Get to stepping ..marry her or leave her. If u been
with a guy for two yrs & ur not married that tells me "he's hittin
it." Gettin the milk for free.

Be ready to change & make moves. Amen

Have u seen her?/ where's Waldo?

July 12, 2009


Genesis 24:1-4
Proverbs
18:22
Proverbs 31:10

Being saved is the most important thing you could ever do. Know more
than just
going to church but saying yes to the Lord & u know him.
salvation is a
gift of God & not of works. The 2nd most important
decision u make is who your life partner is. It's the only thing u
commit to do forever. It's a covenant that we have to be serious
about. In the bible most marriages were arranged, they didn't have
cell phones or email ect. Today there are way more ways to connect
with people. In the bible things were alot more spiritual but your not
going to find a wife or be found by a husband in your prayer closet.
It's not just going to happen it takes a process.

Genesis 24:1-4
Men: how do I find someone? Abraham didnt send Isaac to find himself a
wife he sent his chief servant to find a wife for Issac. View Abraham
as a picture of GOd. See Isaac as you who wants sex..wants someone.
See The chief servant is the
servant of God on you. 1)Allow the
servant of God in you to find a wife for you. Your inner man. Fast &
pray men about who your wife will be. Pastor Andy fasted for 21 days
with water & juice to find a wife & the Lord told him snout himself.
The Lord didn't send him her name but he told him the qualities he
should be looking for.
Women: how do I get found?
1)Be in the houshold of God..don't be a heathen or a
Canaanite. Be
faithful & consistant. " if u seek 1st the kingdom then the lord will
give u the desire of ur heart". And it starts with you ..don't ask the
Lord to send u what u are not. Don't ask for a spiritual man if ur not
spiritual.
2) Be specific (verse 10). Pray specifically, make a list, check it
twice..u tryna find out whose naughty or nice. Marriage is the only
family you get to PICK!! Choose someone who matches up with you!

top things that need to be on your list:
Men: 1) she needs to be saved! You need a praying wife who will pray
for you when you don't even want to pray for yourself. Someone who
loves God and is called according to his purpose.
2) she needs to be attractive! She should look good to you ALL the
time! Even when she's not made up. Then when she's made up that should
just be the icing on the cake. Like her when she wearing the aunt
Jamima scarf & beady robe. Don't be with someone who scares u just
because she prays good.
3) she needs to be sweet & nice especially to you. If she will diss
uvin the first 9 or 10 months of knowing you..u don't wanna have kids
by her! It doesn't mean get someone who is weak or a punk..she should
still get things done. There should be some reverance when u get home
like "oh my man just walked in the door girl I'll call u back! My baby
is home"
4) she needs to be happy and happy with herself. Someone who focuses
on the positive! Not always depresed or down.
5) she should be smart! U shouldn't be intimidated by a woman who
knows more than u. That's Jesus! You want someone who van show u how
to do some things or enlighten you.
Praise the Lord if your wife makes
$80thousand & u make $30. Don't be afraid of a womB who read stiff u
ain't read ..someone has to help the kids do their homework.
6) be with a woman who is open!! Not closed off. Someone who can
follow your leadership. "whatever u like" lol get someone whose ready
to change their name!! No hyphyns or nuthin. If she wanna keep her
name let her stay with her daddy & her family & nem. Let her be by
herself.
7) she should be tough, unbreakable..u barely ever see them fall
apart. She should be able to multi-task. "I'm every woman!"

Womens top 7 list:
It's harder to find a quality man than it is to find a quality woman.
There are alot of loosers who mascarade as quality but they really
bums! Ladies need to do their research.
1) he needs to be saved. He should submit to the Lord. Don't get a
project dude (not meaning acdude from the project) who believes in
God...even the devil believes in God.
2) he needs to be dependable!!! If u have been with a dude for 3 yrs
or so and still hasn't married u then u are wasting ur time. U don't
need any more friends. Someone dependable & consistant!
3) he needs to have a job! A man who has worked ..will work..is got
plans.A man with no job is as important to u as a man with no penis!!!
4) he needs to be loving! He should have some romance to him. Men
exchange romance for sex. Woman exchange sex for romance. Today woman
are too easy. Don't just hug a guy any ol way cuz guys dudes don't
Mary easy women. They get stuck with easy woman but they don't marry
em. Have some space in between..lean forawd and pat pat.
5) he needs to be attractive. Attractive is # 5 on the list b/c u
don't need a show horse u need all the other things on the list 1st!
6) he needs to be happy & healthy not always miserable. Don't confuse
toughness with crazy!! He should be able to smile in a picture or
laugh. If he has a negative perspective of woman u will pay for that.
7) he need to be open & ready to change. Ready to take ur class on "u"
to figure "u" out. B/c ur not like his mom or his sisters or them
girls that did him wrong b4. It's not a semester either it's a Masters
degree in "u". Don't get with someone whose only into himself..I'm jus
street or whatever this is how I am. Allow him to be by himself.





Its in the fight

Notes from 7/9/09
Dr. Janet Floyd "Its in the fight" Genesis 32:24-29
  • Success is a process
  • Where and who you sit under is sometimes a prophesy of where you are going
  • God doesnt consult our past to design our future
  • She used Mike Tyson as an example and started by talking about the horrible childhood that he had and then talked about how he entered the gym to build his technique (gym=places where we grow as a christian that are places set apart such as church, prayer closet, etc)
  • She talks about how he had to defend his championship We are just defending a future thats already ours who we are in the furture as winners and champions-she said to walk with a holy swagger hahaha she said we should walk with a different air about us
  • She talked about Tyson fighting and how close it was and the crowd walking out because they thought he already lost there are people who are going to walk out of your life when things look hard but dont believe the crowd
  • A fight exemplifies who you really are (she talked about how Mike Tyson believed the crowd and the street thug he really was deep inside came back out and he bit off Holyfield's ear)
  • we as christians have to train in the gym seriously and it can be fake because when the battle is really on who we really are will be revealed.
  • she talked about the older washing machines and the piece in the middle that was called an agitator that was in it and she did the selena danceGod sends agitation to get the dirt out and its not always the devil
  • She used the example of a man giving a woman a 10kt flawless and what type of ring you would put it in- a platinum setting rather than a 10, 14, or even a 24kt gold ring Will your life devalue the gift that God wants to place on you? Is it the right setting for the gem?
  • Jacob fought with the (agent of destiny) Destiny is defined as the inevitable occurrence of events; the unstoppable order of things; something that has to happen
  • She talked about the fight and described it as God ordained and listed 3 ways to recognize a God ordained fight 1) substance change (destiny requires a different mentality) she talks about the pain being part of the process but the joy of the produce will make you forget your pain (described it like child birth) she said that a lot of christians struggle to worship because they are left with the pain of the process without seeing the product she also talks about the evidence of a change in you should be visible and describes Jacob's limp 2) changes your shift she tells this crazy story about learning to drive a shift on the freeway she explains that the reason that there are some things in your life making loud noises or the car sounds like it is about to fall apart is because you have to shift gears into a higher level in order to accelerate you have to shift. 3) change in your stuff she talked about Jacob not allowing him to leave until he blessed me and used a guy from the praise team to come to the front and she used him as the agent of destiny and just about undressed him as she used the example of getting the stuff that is yours from the fight.
Thanks Amanda for the notes!!

They will believe me when I believe me

Notes for 7/8/09
Mark Chironna "They will believe me when I believe me" Exodus 4:1-2
  • leadership is knowing what is going to happen in the future and operating in that opportunity (all God's children are supposed to be leaders but we have to see through God's eyes)
  • opportunity brings change (we as people struggle with this because we do not like change, but we are called to bring a change)
  • the future is what determines what happens in the present and not the past (where God is taking you determines the struggles that you have now)
  • Moses' mother was able to see through God's eyes and lead by placing her son in a basket and into crocodile infested waters because she was presented with an opportunity to bring about a change
  • The pharoah's daughter pulled Moses out of the water and found potential in him God will use people of the world to work in my favor and to see potential in me (even when I dont know enough to see it myself)
  • Moses sister was waiting in the bush and stepped out on her opportunity when the pharoahs' daughter looks for someone to nurse the baby. She stated that she knew a lady and the pharoahs' daughter offered to pay. God will make the devil pay for you
  • Moses' mother was nursed him til he was about 3 years old and spoke into his life telling him that he was a leader and a judge and a deliverer. As he grew up he struggled with his calling to be a leader and killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew and then went later to try and settle a matter between two Hebrews because he was a judge and mediator.
  • He ran at the response of the Hebrews into the desert and delievered the daughters of a Bedouin priest from shepherds Our calling is given to us from birth and we walk in it sometimes unknowingly because we cant see through the eyes of God
  • He spent 40 years in the desert fighting with himself and who he was You cant see clearly when you fight with yourself (who you are, your past, mistakes, spiritual and emotional wounds)
  • There is a calling and then the process of reconciling yourself (dealing with the parts of me that I cant handle so that I can see God clearly the ability to accept all the parts of me as necessary to make it to where I need to go)and then the comission to be the leader and bring about change
  • Moses came to Mt Horeb which is known as the mountain of God and it was on the farthest side of the desert (why would God place HIS mountain so far away from the people because they could not get to it to worship?) God will bring you to a place of isolation where you can no longer run from yourself when you decide to get serious about your destiny
  • Moses saw a burning bush (he was in the desert so there were lots of burning bushes but this one was different because it was not consumed)God will wait for you to see what he sees so that he can reveal himself to you so that you can say what he says (walk in what he has for you)
  • Moses talks with God through the bush and he asks God will they believe me and God asks him whats in his hand (staff represented history, his power, wisdom- there is a credibility in wisdom) wisdom comes from going through stuff
  • With the acceptance of ourselves and reconciling who we are God can use the power that we possess with us
  • Moses is asked to throw down the staff and it turns to a snake (snakes are not always bad in this case they represent wisdom Matt 10:16) Moses runs from his own power
  • When we reach reconciliation and acceptance God allows us to use our power that he has given us to open doors and cocreate destiny alongside him
Thanks Amanda for the notes!

More & more ready

July 5 2009

Ephesians 5:28-33
Genisis 2:15-24

Adam has no bills, no enemies, no issues..everything was set for him.
Even still Jesus said he's still missing something. It's not good for
man to be alone. God didn't make us to be lonely or depressed or sick
or on medications; he made us to be strong & blessed. God made a
suitible helper for Adam but b4 that he had Adam address the animals.
B4 ur blessings animals will come!! (Dogs/issues). Jesus made Eve from
Adams rib b/c u must have a partner who is bone of ur bone, on the
same page, compatible b/c then u have favor. What we see however is a
bunch of unequaly yolked ppl. We know opposites attract b/c Paula
Abdule told us so but she is still single! We have seen couples who
are equally attractive or equally busted or couples that make I think
now how did he end up with her or vise versa. Girl what are u doing
with this loser? Unequally yolked..if ur a jerk, marry another jerk
but don't doom a good person to ur disfunction or ur mess. Alot of ppl
believe that their relationships were better b4 marriage but don't let
the enemy put that in ur head. It's due to being un equally yolked.
Marriage is a picture of the union of Christ & his church. There are
ppl who look like they have a good relationship but it takes work. In
most relationships there is usually one person who is more difficult
to live with than the other. The enemy is determined to mess up the
picture. Many of us right now are dealing with the consequences or
reprocussions from decisions that we made in Middle School. We are
making
life & death decisions especially with our bodies.

Ur not ready to be married if:
5) ur not open & u don't listen. "if ur ignant" & u like not knowing
ur not ready. Men need to be ready to CHANGE & learn & listen. A guy
will marry b/c he like who u are at that moment. They will be at the
alter thinking dang I hope she didn't trick me! I want her to stay
just like this. Women are like a combination lock on ur locker at
school when u first get it u struggle to open but by the end of the
school year u get it ooen without looking. Woman get with men b/c they
want to change u. They look at men and think, I can work with this,
they see a mans potential...men are a project to a women. They want
their men to grow, they don't want u to be the same man they met in
highschool. Men test women to see how flexible they are so women don't
let ur mouth write a check that u can't cash b/c then u fail the test.
"Write in pencil not pen".

6) if ur not a giver ur not ready for marriage. It's not for selfish
ppl, it's better to give than receive. Once u find someone who meets
ur needs u should be thinking "can I match that". It's not a
competition however it's a partnership where u are ready & willing to
give. It should embarrass u if u feel like "what am I bringing to the
table." Match eacothers level of sacrifice.

7) if ur not spiritual ur not ready. Statistics show as this country
has gotten less spiritual the divorce rate has gone up. Marriage is
something God created & God needs to be apart of it. Be strong in ur
inner person! It's not for weak ppl b/c it takes spiritual inner
strength. Men are visual/physical beings. Don't focus on the outside &
miss the bigger picture. Sex clouds ur judgement & this is one of the
reasons u should not have sex outside of marriage. That doesn't mean
get a ugly girl..love & lust ur wife. U shouldn't have to pray in the
spirit to make love to ur wife. It's spiritual but it's not
spiritual..there's a time for
blessed assurance & there's a time for
Luther or Debarge or
Stevie Wonder. But men be lead by the spirit so u
can focus on not just the physical. Ladies 1Peter3:3-6 Marriage is
going to test ur faith! Ladies to follow anothers leadership u have to
have
faith in God. Pray to God to work on ur husband when u don't
agree. Just b/c ur right doesn't mean ur out of order so control ur
tongue. To stay in order with God ladies then at times u have to put
ur hope &
trust in God & not give way to fear. However ladies don't
submit to someone who doesn't love u above himself.

Marriage is the only thing u commit to do in ur life 4ever, but there
is no training for it. So Pastor Andy is training us to be ready.







But am I ready?

June 28 2009

Proverbs
18:22

Mathew 11:11-12
Even
John the baptist questioned if God was God even though he was a
believer. Jesus said in that verse that John the baptist was the best.
This let's us know that it's ok to sometimes feel like or wonder, Lord
is this u? It doesn't mean ur not saved..it's apart of the process.
"the person who is least I. The kingdom" meaning the person who is the
last person that should be going to church..."is greater than
John the
baptist
". Jesus says thar b/c he wants us to be a confident people &
walk in victory. The kingdom of heaven moves by force (verse 12).
Meaning it takes aggression and confidence. Tell the Lord what u want
with boldness & let nothing stop you.

Sex in the summer relationship: men need to move forcefully & be
aggressive about finding a wife. Don't wait for it to happen b/c it
won't! Most men want to get everything else in order in their lifes b4
they get married. However if your uncle died today and left u one
million $$ u wouldn't say no can't accept it right now gotta do this
first. Why not meet someone that u can go throught things with
2gether! Someone in ur corner to get riches with. Don't let those
things u THINK need in order be an excuse.

Proverbs 18:22
Never date someone u wouldn't marry other wise ur wasting time.

Pastor Andy says ur not ready if:

1) If ur not in love with yourself ur not ready. U can't expect
someone else to love what u don't love. Like what u see in the mirror!
Ephesians 5:33- love ur wife the way u love urself. Pastor Andy says
since he loves himself & he wants blessings to flow like a river he
makes sure there room is clean b/c he knows she's a neat person. If
the room is clean she can flow & he can be blessed the way he wants to
with candles & all!! Lol
Mathew 25:29-more is given to the one who has. (have good self esteem
& know who u are & what ur worth). For the ladies.."don't be the u be
the 2" let him say I love u & u say I love u 2! Lol

2) If ur not on a mission ur not ready. Everyone needs a vision. How
can someone help u if u dont know where ur going. A lot of men are
unhappily married b/c they didnt marry someone who was working for ur
purpose. You should be needing but not needy.
Women be strong but not masculine. Be willing to follow a little bit.
Strong men like strong women. Write in pencil not in ink women!! U may
have plans to live in TX & ur man says I wanna live in NC..be ready to
erase ur TX on ur list & pencil in NC. (follow). 75% of black women
between 30-35 yrs old have never been married.

3) If ur not healthy your not ready. Need to be healed from past hurts
even from ur parents! Get over ur past. Also be physically healthy cuz
marriage is hard but harder when ur ill. Your attitude has to be
healthy. Have a healthy view of marriage & of women. Ladies have a
healthy attitude about submission. Ladies have a healthy view of
sex..don't just lay there know how to work the equipment.

4) if ur not ready to work ur not ready. Even if ur compatible
marriage is hard work. If ur lazy ur not ready. Men if ur not ready to
do romance,dates,spending time, spending $, saying i love u just b/c,
showing affection,writting poems, listening, & giving holy hugs to ur
wife ur not ready to be married. Treat her like a queen not like a
servant in ur prison. Pastor Andy buys his wife flowers just about
every week (takes them to her job personally!! Cuz all the girls at
work will hate) lol

Ladies must be patient. Men require a lot of patience! Appearance:
they way ur guy is a hint to how u should be. If ur dude gets his hair
cut everyweek u can't rock a pony tail everyday. Be prepared to do the
work! An unattractive wife is as much use as a car in the ocean. The
word wife & unattractive don't go together!! Even if ur home! Comb it
out & get dressed!! If ur not ready to do that be by urself =)








Fatherhood potential

Fathers Day June21,2009.

Ephesians 3:14-19
1John 3:1-3

The things that are impossible with man are possible with God. None of
us got to choose our names when we were born but God got 2 choose his
own name.

Ex parents giving kids names with silent constanents like Shella with
a silent J. Or spelling names any kind of way.

God gives names that mean something. Father is a title that God gives
himself. When we step into church we are given the opportunity to
step into a relationship with him as ur Father. "aba father" meaning
daddy. Jesus says when I pray say "our father"..more than just a God
but our Father. Ephesians 3:15. Recognize how important it is to God
bring a father to us. Ephesians 3:16-he provides strength in our inner
being. He can do more for us as our dad than a God. Ephesians 3:17-
enables salvation & roots us & establishes us in love. Ephesians 3:19-
so that we can reach our potential, less of u & more of God.

Being a father is awsome b/c fatherhood is something that Hod does!
God makes fatherhood popular. Everyday ppl do things or buy things to
be like someone else. Name brands, cars, ect so The Lord says ok I'm
not gonna put on nikes I'm gonna rock fatherhood in hopes that they
will follow me. Be like me & be a Father. Fall in love with the idea
of being like him & take fatherhood seriously.

"If ur a woman & ur single & happy & independent, u go girl! But if ur
a man & ur single..pastor andy is looking at the fatherhood patential
u have. Unless u have the gift of celebacy (which is not likely at
ALL) pastor andy wants u to allow ur lightning rod to have direction.
harness that thing and use it for what it was meant for."

"For a woman to produce a child is the most painful thing ever from
the moment of conception to birth & breast feeding. Yet & still they
wanna have a baby. With guys God has attached nthing but Joy to that
whole process b/c he is trying to get u to understand how vitAl it is
to be a father & point ur lightning rod in the right direction. Other
wise that thing can get u more trouble than blessings. The moment God
gave u that feeling of being turned on was the moment when God put a
clock on u to find a wife and point that thing in the right direction."

27% if white kids don't live with their fathers
35 %Hispanic kids don't live with fathers
66 %
black kids don't live with their fathers
Over 80% of black kids spend their childhood without their father

85% of kids with mental behaviors come from fatherless homes.

85% of youth in prison grew up in a fatherless home.

This is why Pastor Andy is stressing that who ur life partner is the
most important thing u will ever do in your life! B/c it's the only
decision that u make that lasts forever. It should be taken serious at
a very young age. Realize God has invested dominion & stability in u
(men).

"Of course ur baby mom is mean,crazy, always starting drama, always
calling ur house because you weren't careful with ur seed planter & u
didn't think your decisions thru. Have to stop being so loose with out
sex, drinking, partying, & smoking because it's life i'd death."

"If u are un-happily married 80% of that is YOUR fault (guys) b/c u
picked her! The wrong head was making the decisions."

"The longer u wait to get married the more trouble u get into
to ..once u turn 21 u should be looking, praying, fasting for a good
wife. 26,27,28 years old ur an old maid (GUYS) u should be
married.Your pushing it, it's time to get serious. You have to look!
Stop blaming women cuz they are doin the best they can. It starts with
us (MEN). Pastor Andy understands that sex is a strong drive cuz he
LOVES 2 have sex with his wife. Question isn't why it's why not?"


Whatever u say

June 10,2009

Whatever u say

The only way to truley be free is to know the whole truth. To be
delivered means that the taste/desire of that "thing" is no longer in u.

Man has a tendancy to look at the flesh vs God who looks at ur
heart..therefore u need to appear both. You need to look like a
believer who has joy to a non believer b/c they look at the outside.
Your outside needs to match your inside.

In James somewhere (look it up) it talks about good ground/thorny
ground/path:
U may have to shovel someone else ground b/c u won't always find good
ground. And not everyone had someone to guide them in the right way

Mathew 16
"who does man say that Jesus is?" Jesus said in order to be an effect
disiple u need to know who man says he is.

Mark 11:23
" u will have whatever u say"
God is motivated by words..if u speak life you will have life if u
speak death u will have death.

U reality is effected or impacted by ur words. Words drive destiny! If
u don't speak it u won't get there no matter what path God has planned
for you. It works both ways..good & bad. Don't say things that you
shouldn't be saying.

Dominion=Power behind ur words
Believe that ur words have power!

Genesis 17:1-5 Abraham (means father of many nations) 100 yrs old
Genesis17:15-17 Sarah (means PYT) 90 yes old

God changed their names to get them to start to say what he was
saying. He changed their words.

"when u know who u are u can whip a hoopty & still have $$ u don't
have 2 have spinning rims or flex to show who u are". Pastor Andy
referenced
Kanye West song When it all Falls Down "I got a problem
with spending b4 I get it".."we all self concious I'm just the 1st to
admit it"

Here is proof of the negative side to speaking:
Numbers 13:30-31 numbers14:1-4 numbers14:26-35

"u have a set amount of time to get ur act 2gether b4 the Lord says ok
since u choose not to go with me I will show u what it's like to go
against me"

James 3:2
"if u want to be perfect ( meaning complete) it starts with ur mouth".
If u are able to never mess up with ur mouth u are a
perfect man &
able to keep ur body in check. Your mouth drives your body. Therefore
u will never put ur body into a situation that u don't want to.

There are blessings in your words but there are consequences to what u
say:

James 3:
Verse 3-5
1)Transportation is steered by what I say

Verse 5-6
2) the destruction of fire is sparked by what I say

Verse 7-8
3) what I keep around me is determined by what I say

Verse 9-12
4) rejuvination (life giving water or death giving poisen) is
determined by what I say. I can praise God with my mouth and give life
or I can curse man with my mouth and die.






the wheel

Mark 12:28-31-2 most important commandments

What must I do 4 the work that Lord requires? It's not enough 2 just
believe in God & go 2 church or u fear God. Form a relationship on a
greater level where u LOVE God. It's not about being religious or the
spiritual emotions. Get into a relationship with God & allow church
get inside of u..embody his spirit vs just going to church. Not just I
wanna go 2 heaven ..not just I'm scared of God..take it another step
up. Love him with ALL. Give him ur resource,tithes,talent..ALL. All ur
heart. The wheel..the wheel of ur life..ur direction. Who has
programed u 2 do what ur going 2 do? That is the wheel of ur life.
When we see u & the Lord walking 2 the car of ur life and u open the
door for the Lord it doesn't seem right 4 the Lord to be on the
passenger side while u drive. Love the Lord with ur direction, the
decisions ur going 2 make, & ur wheel. How do u give him ur heart?
It's not easy 2 do. There are some challenges u won't go around, u go
through them. There's things u won't want 2 do but u will b/c it's
Gods will be done & not ur own. How?

1) Understand that God wants 2 help u not hurt u or harm u. God is not
in the punishment business. By nature humans are distrusting. So
Believe.

Ex. Pastor & his son swimming. When his son was 5 he paid 4 swimming
lessons that summer. Next summer his son was scared 2 swim b/c he 4got
how. Pastor got in & told him 2 jump 2 me. I will not let u drown. So
his son was scared & distrusting of the water & his dad. And was
thinking about it. So he said "boy! Swim!". So his son hesitated.
Pastor said "boy! Swim!" So he jumped in the pool but held onto the
side. =} So Pastor Andy got out the pool and walked to his son in his
mother voice like "aww come here" arms open. His son came 2 him and
Pastor threw that boy into the pool!! He swam back over to his dad.
Pastor threw him back in again! He swam back 2 his dad & pastor threw
him in again! That time he swam over to the other side. LOL & Pastor
Andy said "see I told u that u could swim boy!" I know b/c I PAID 4
lessons 4 u & ur brother so u could learn 2 swim cuz ur mother said
she wanted y'all 2 lean right. Vs pastor Andy teaching them. =}
trust the Lord!!! Realize he will not ask u 2 do anything that will
kill u!! He aims 2 help not 2 harm u!!

2) Trust that the Lord knows u better than u know urself. He knows how
many hairs on ur head.

3) realize God is a living GPS. He doesn't get lost or confused so
he's best qualified 2 steer.

4) worship, 4 who he is = that's how u give ur heart

5) word!! If u don't bring ur bible 2 church there is no way ur
reading through the week. Ur heart won't change if u don't get some
word in u.

6) work = ur work is attached 2 ur heart. What u do will get ur heart
connected.

7) team unity. U can love the ppl of God & that will help u love God.
Fellowship. Ur company changes the direction of ur life. Be aware of
who u hang with. Ur company can make u or break u & ur heart is
connected to those u eat with.

Pastor Andy-World Overcomers

Press 4 maturity even if it means letting go of things in ur life.
Don't loose the blessings that u have to remain ignorant. Your
perspective has to change, throw away childish thinking, ways ,&
reason. During a test will u panic? Speak life & not death as Paul
says dwell in the secret place of the most high in the shadow of the
Lord..be confident even tho ur enemy may come upon u. <--i gotta find that verse Every thing is a lose compared to knowing the Lord: 1corinthians 6:1-7 Meaning let any negative thing done to u humble u rather than fight. Fighting is a sign that u have already lost the battle. Anything that makes u scared or shakes ur faith shows that u are already defeated. Realize that with a strong faith in the Lord even if the storms don't cease in your life your soul is anchored in Jesus meaning whatever was destroyed or taken away He can give it back.
Philippians 3:7-8
if what u consider 2 be profit keeps u from having a close
relationship with God consider it a loss 2 the surpassing greatness of
knowing the Lord. Don't let things or ppl keep u from a closer
relationship with God. This a challange; 2 consider ur car or house
trash in comparison to ur relationship with God. It's what u call an
intimate relationship with God. It's like someone offering u 3 hundred
million for ur house & car & u say no to that offer. That's how we
should consider our relationship with God & a lot of us don't know God
like that. Like someone u haven't seen in a long time werent really
cool with but they are in ur personal business and ur thinking "I
don't know u like that".

Blessings are given based on faith not what u deserve. Have hope. No
matter what comes ur way..ur situation may look dead but u have the
power of reserection in anything. Speak life not death! ( philippians
3:10) U have reserection power..press to take hold of it..look for ur
next opportunity. (verse 12) praise him even on ur way 2 ur cross, ur
death, b/c u know that there will be a reserection.

"what's the purpose of having an awsome God with no trials 2 go
thru..what's the point of having Angels if u are facing no demons..u
can't make it to the mountains if ur scared to pass through the valley
to get to your blessings..keep your focus..push!"

Conclusion
We have 2 get mature...
(more maturity=more power)
