IBS- James 1:5
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

God knows all. God doesn’t hide from us- He is always there. We are the ones always running away from Him. The sin, the ups and downs He knows it all- He paid for it all. But yet I walked away- I walked away from the love that loves like no other. My selfish wants came in like a over flowing waterfall. And I sunk in. I went all the way to the bottom and you would think I would have learned something there but no- no my pride and selfish desires dug in that mud at the bottom more and more until God said stop- enough is enough- you know the truth yet you run and dug yourself this nice dark hole and called it home and I am now asking you to just raise you hands even just one, one out of that mud hole and I will take care of the rest. I lack a lot. I lack a lot of faith, wisdom, discipline, and hope. But God. I fall back on working on faith like last week and learning and asking God to give me the faith I need to become an empty vessel for His glory. God has really shown me just in this verse in working on my faith and following through with my applications because I am not just saying it but taking action on what I am believing, and it is already growing me and He is opening my eyes to wise thoughts and scripture to back it up (now I’m not saying I’m all a sudden this wise person-no I am very very far from that). But God has asked me to keep working on my walk of faith and He will give me the wisdom to understand and ponder thoughts. I prayed over this verse asking God to really show me all He wants me to learn from this verse because my eyes are not seeing it and all He said to me was “while you are working on stepping out each day in faith, I am working in you wisdom.” And I just sit in class being filled constantly even when I feel tired God allows me to catch a piece of what is being talked about and I am so touched by it. He is faithful to me every day and His word has all the wisdom and the people- the people around me here in ignite are being used daily as Gods servants and giving me wisdom and understanding in the areas I am lacking and in great need of help in. I love in this verse how it says He gives to all who asks “liberally”- freely. And with no “reproach”- without holding back anything from us. And that’s what I attempted to share before – even when I thought I was off the deep end without anything left to give and learn from He was there. He is and is always going to be there with me and all of you and all we have to do is give him a piece of us and He does the impossible. For me I gave Him a piece and now I want none of me and all of Him.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

IBS- MARK 10:46-52 “ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”   I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sin

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do good work hardily as for the Lord and not to men.” Christians often talk about working for God, going on a mission’s trip for God, doing the ministry for God. Its good to talk that way. It’s biblical. We are promised that through Christ we will “bear fruit for God” and we are called to “work heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.” So, we should do things for God. But what does that mean? Sometimes when we talk about doing something for someone, we mean that we are going to meet their needs. So, if we talked about doing something for the poor, we mean we are going to meet the needs of the poor. But is that what we mean when we talk about doing things for God? When the Bible calls us to do things for God, is it calling us to meet God’s needs? That’s impossible, because God has no needs. Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served b
