Patiently Waiting

We know that when we are standing in front of God that our entire life will flash before us, we will be held accountable for everything we have said and done, be they good or bad.  Everyone on earth will be standing there whether they believe in God or not.  Wouldn't it be nice if all we saw was the good things we had said and done?  The words "well done good and faithful servant".

There is a way for that to happen and it is to confess our sins right now, here on earth.  Sharing our troublesome and sorrowful tales with someone you trust and admitting our wrongs to God.  If we take the time to do this now then God won't have to force us to do it while standing in front of Him.

The time of patiently waiting is over, now is the time to confess our sins and accept Jesus Christ, because Jesus will tell God what a good job we have done on earth....or NOT.

Simple Words

Words are seeds.  Once said, they cannot be removed, but they can be trimmed.  One harsh word can permanently harm you.  It can do the following: make you feel incompetent, make you angry and act out, turn you into a bully, shut down your creativity, darken your spirit, remove your smile, make you indifferent, make you lose interest, and encourage you to quit.  But the greatest of these is to drive you into a belief that you are less than you are.  A recipe for an addiction.

It takes 10 words of positive reinforcement and encouragement to replace the damage of one harsh word.  Once a persons innocence is taken away through harsh words, the recipient feels it as in the 10 listed above.  People can apologize but unless we find it in us to forgive them, then those words are stuck with us as long as we want to hang onto them.  Jesus said that forgiving them is the only answer.

Passion

What does the military and the passion of Jesus have in common?  The military has a standing rule to not leave anyone behind, to collect the wounded and bring them to safety. To stand as a united force.

Jesus sacrifice on the cross has the same principals, to not leave anyone behind, to collect the wounded and bring them to the safety of God.

The injuries may be different but the principal remains the same as the military fights visible forces and the gospel fights the unseen forces of demons and principalities.

We all have our own visible and unseen battles that test us to the limit.  Darkness may rule for a short time but our passion to believe in an ever loving God helps us win in the end.

Action

We all have thoughts about doing righteous things and getting closer to God.  It could be doing something nice for someone, starting a new routine, or even changing our life around, like stopping a bad habit.  Either way all it takes is to simply start or stop something.  We start doing good things to get closer to God or we stop doing bad things to break away from harmful behaviors. 

Did you notice that either way takes us in one direction?  So really, the only thing lacking in our life is action or the gumption to make a change. Sometimes we need a motivator;

1 Corinthians 15:33 says: "Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”  If we love being with people who allow or encourage us to sin openly, then the top half of this message probably irritates you.  This message is for those who are tired and want to change.

Realization

It's a time when our past and present have collided with our future.  When all the self-centered actions and emotions of the past have created a roadblock in the present, that then stops our progression into our perceived future.  Basically our past has caught up with us and it's time to face the truth.

It's much worse when we are blindsided and don't see it coming. These are the times when our very foundations are rocked, a surreal world emerges out of the chaos, and over time our vision becomes crystal clear as to the reasons.

This is the time when we can very easily adopt an addiction...you know...something to help us get through the tough times!  Or maybe we had the addiction all along and others finally got fed up with it and us! If we do adopt an addiction or compulsion, then we have replaced God.

Communication

Have you watched someones conversation with others when they don't know you are watching and wondered what they were talking about?  Might seem weird but it is enlightening.  You can actually tell quite a bit about the conversation by way of mannerism, stance, if they are looking at each other, or only one to another.  Some people have no hearing and they hone this ability to silently read conversations to somewhat amazing accuracy.  They can describe the basis of the story, feelings, and the thoughts of the people.

Our mannerisms as Christians speak volumes to those who do not yet believe in a higher power.  Half-hearted attempts at playing Christian only leave bad results.  Truth is the only element that rubs out all negative attributes, because you can't be truthful and sin at the same time.  Jesus said that if we follow His words then, in John 8:32, " Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free".

In order to be set free we need to communicate with others by acting more like Jesus and all good things will flood in...as long as we believe it in our heart.

perception

3 people witness a hit and run accident. All 3 have valuable details, but all argue on the color of the car, license plate, and direction of travel.  Probably the most important facts.

Trauma distorts our thinking and perception of things. What we daily carry around with us emotionally shades what we actually see.  Our brain is busy sorting the garbage we feel is important and when new unexpected information comes in it's jumbled, not unlike a computer when the hard drive is full.  Our brain is so full with problems, then a constant bombarment of info we can't handle and we crash.

That's when addictions seep in.  It's easier to block out the world than it is to deal with the info.  If we could only learn that talking with someone and releasing our burdens helps free up our mind to handle other info, other than just our own dilemas. It's called freedom.
