Deuteronomy 4:7
“What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to Him?”
            After Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he had prayed and talked to his Father in heaven after this his people and all the successes were all brought and looked on as a gift from God, which it all was. To know that the other nations may have had better weapons, better this and better that, it didn’t matter in the end. But they had God with them and the power given to them by Him and Him alone. I never really thought anything of this verse before but its so true. What other gods do you know of that will go as far but yet be so near whenever you call on His name. There is a peace that comes about when you call on His name. So my team and I went on a trip to an Island here in Ugnada and we went around evangelizing and one of the groups ended up at a mans home looking thing which was a shrine and they were a little hesitant to go in but felt called to go and share the gospel and the good news and freedom found in Christ Jesus. What an experience they had, this man and probably many more go there and worship this red cloth and many smaller ones leading up to their “god”. I was blown away by how real this really is and how this verse came to life right in front of my eyes. I read all these verses and hear all these stories and believe in them but there is something so life changing when you actually see it and are in the presence of the real deal. How lost this man was and how said it was to hear and see many people thinking that that piece of cloth was the real deal. I would like to see how fast and how even that cloth comes about in that mans need of help or cry for comfort. I am reminded of the old kids song that goes like this: “my God is so BIG so STRONG and so MIGHTY there’s nothing my God can not do…” and how true that really is.

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
