1 Kings 3:7-10
Stay True To The Living God.

We are made in God’s image so it’s best we stay true to his image. God created us and has helped us from the day we were born till the day we die, and
God created every single one of us. God created all of us for a purpose, and to help with that purpose he has given us gifts. The way we use our gift is up to us, but it’s purpose was to spread the word of God and not the opposite. It’s also best to find out our gifts young because then the more you learn about God the more useful you can be. Your parents should be teaching you about the word of God, but now they “don’t have time.” We have God willing to do anything for us, he will forgive us, die for us, give our every need because he loves us more than anything.
Our God is a giving God and he loves us so much. If there is anything thing you need such as food, new clothes, a friend, or just send someone to talk to, pray to God and he will provide it for you.

Do We Really Know How Blessed We Are?

Psalm 34:1
Do We Really Know How Blessed We Are?

God has given us so many blessings it’s only fair to return the favor. Being blessed is knowing you are blessed, and your blessing help other people with their blessings. 
Being blessed is knowing you are blessed. When someone ask you how are you, you probably say, “I’m alright,” or ” I’m good”, but believers say “I’m blessed.” Speaking those two powerful words into existence. Being blessed means we have to bless someone back, and the person who deserves all our blessings is God. We should wake up in the morning saying bless you God, you should go about your day blessing God, just every second of everyday you should be blessings God. 
Having blessings means sharing your blessings. People might be struggling to find there blessings, but with your help and God by your side, you can bless everyone that steps in the room with you. Sharing your praise brings people farther from the devil, and closer to God. Everything you do for God just makes the devil angrier because he tried to shut you up. The devil has tried to trick you many times but God’s power gave you enough strength to go against his schemes. 
All of the blessings God has given us give of enough power to fight the devil. With praise comes sharing praise because we are blessed and we know it.

What’s Weighing You Down?

Luke 21:34-36
What’s Weighing You Down?

There will always be something weighing you down. Everybody have got something putting them down, but you don’t have to let that get in your way because someone know what your going through and your not alone.
Everyone has something on there mind. No matter the race, gender, or religion there is always something weighing them down. Whoever walks in the doors of the building you are in, is dealing with something either at school, work, or home. If you don’t know what is weighing you down, just ask yourself right now what going on in my life, go into flashbacks of what you have done in the past week. In order to fix what is wrong you have to know what is wrong.
You don’t have to let what’s weighing you down keep you down. Most of the time the things weighing us down down is from something in the past. The past is the past, your learn form your mistakes, and live present because you can’t live in the past. If it’s something that just happened your not alone, God has seen what happened and knows what’s going on, he knows that you are strong enough to get through this, and that you live and learn. Don’t let the devil’s henchmen get into your head, and always be aware of your surroundings because there is always a little demon trying to seep into the small cracks and feed on your sadness. As it gets bigger so does the weight, so let’s never let them in because you are stronger then you know especially since God is on your side.
Let’s not let the devil weigh us down. Your are never alone even in your darkest hours.

Have We Served Well

1 Timothy 3:13
Have We Served Well?

Serving well and being faithful will be our key to heaven. God is faithful and would do anything for you, so are we doing enough for him.
Are we doing enough? God deserves so much, and the best that we can do for him is to follow what he says. Not only do we have to try but we have to succeed, and he knows you can do it because he wouldn’t ask you to do something you couldn’t do; all we need is a little faith. With faith we can do anything we put our mind to because we have God on our side, and that is the best thing to have. God wants to have the people who were faithful and stood by him through everything, he doesn’t want people who did good but didn’t believe in him, the people who thought they could pretend, or even the people who are the most successful people in the world but “didn’t have the time” to even attempt to go to church. 
He wants faithful people because faithful people know how to serve, and God will not let you in heaven because you were successful, but for the people who helped him build his new kingdom.
God would do everything for us because he is faithful to us. God has done so much for us, so it’s only best for us to pay him back. He only ask us to serve him and that’s not much work. God has given his son life for ours, he take care of our every need, and in the end if you have so much as believed in him and repent you will be able to live with him in his kingdom. God has all power and he used most of his power to take care of us because he loves us no matter how bad of a sin we do, so let’s not turn our backs on him.
God gives us our every need it’s only fair if we do the same. Are we doing enough for God because he has done so much for us.

Are We Running This Race With Purpose?

Hebrews 12:1-3
Are We Running This Race With Purpose?

We need to move with a purpose if you want to win this race. We need to be purpose builders and move with a purpose, and if we have to run, run lighty.
We need do be purpose builders. What does it mean to be a purpose builder? When you are a purpose builder, you build on top of things with a purpose. We all have a goal or a dream, and instead of just thinking about how you could never do it make that your purpose and build on the surface you have. There are going to ups and downs and cracks and bumps, but if you want to be a purpose builder you need to think positively, believe in yourself, and know who you are. With the things you already see the finish line. And we don’t have to run as fast as the person in front or behind you, but you do have to run with a purpose because you are still trying to win the race.
We need to travel lighty If we have to run. 
In a race you can’t be carrying all this weight and expect to win. We need to let some stuff go if we want all this weight gone, we need to tell the truth, and ask for forgiveness to get some of that weight off or it will become a burden. If it’s hard to let some stuff go, just remember that prize when you get to the finish line. Jesus is at the end waiting for you to finally make it, and his love will help you take off all that weight. So we need to run with purpose
In order to win this race we must move with purpose. We need to travel lighty, and move with purpose.

Where Are The Prayer Warriors

Luke 22:31-32
Where Are The Prayer Warriors?

Prayer warriors pray for those in need, but now there aren’t so many people like that. We need prayer in our current situation, but we also need to be careful because the devil will try and pull you away.
We need to pray for what’s happening in the present. In our current date we encounter all types of situations. You might see a homeless person begging for money, a person smoking on the side of a store, people out on public fighting, etc. We need to pray for those people because most people don’t have it easy. We need people willing to provide for other in their time of need, and show themselves as a child of God. We need people to pray for others in there situation.
The devil always looks for an opportunity to take you away from God. The devil despises God and wants us to be on his side. Jesus prays that you will stay on the light side of the field, and hopes that never in your life will you turn your life on God. Something so horrible might happen in your life, and will start to question why this and that, but knows that God is on your side and he wants you to trust him that everything going on is for a reason and you cannot turn away. If you just pray, God can fix your heart break. Jesus is always praying for your good being, so we need to bounce back after a set back, so just remember your never alone cause God is right by your side. 
We can never turn our back on God after all he has done for us. The devil might be lurking around, but God is right by yo

Can You Stand The Rain

Matthew 7:24-27
Can You Stand The Rain?

When you build something you have to have a strong foundation, and if you don’t all your hard work will crumble. We are all building something, but what is it we are building on?
What are we building on? We are building something, and what we build it on is important. We cannot build on something that is not stable or what you are building will fall. You can’t build a house on sand and expect to stay; but if you build your house on rock the rock is strong enough to keep your house the way it is. In order to find a stable place to build on you need to think positively. When we think negatively, we will just build on anything we think will work, but if we think positively we will use our heads to find the right place to continue building.
We are all building something. When we build something good , we know the we are going in the right direction. Good things are happening and your life is great, but what will happen when the rain comes. If you built on something stable you should be able to to continue living your great life and praise God, but if you made a mistake to build on a non stable surface and everything you built has fell apart. Will you just break down and stay miserable, or will you learn form your mistakes and continue to praise God. You have to stay positive even if there are negativity around you, and you can build something completely new even if negative things happened; the past is the past, you can’t change it, so continue to live positive because there are enough negative people. 
Build on something stable and live a positive life. We are all building something, and what are we building on?

Where Are The Peacemakers

Matthew 5:9
Where Are The Peacemakers?

The peacemakers are supposed to call a truce with there neighbors, and make peace with there enemy’s. What happened to the peacemakers especially at this time, and where are they now?
What happened to the peacemakers now? At this point in time; there is peace. Everywhere you look there is a war going on, and even if it between two people, a group, your family, or even yourself there is still a war going on. Yet there is no one who is willing to go up to those people and ask them what’s wrong, tell them to stop, or to simply pick up there phone and call the police. We just run as far as we can from the situation as possible and have hope that you just made it someone else’s problem. Where are the peacemakers who are willing to fix these situations.
Where could the peacemakers be hiding? You can’t be peaceful unless you make peace with your neighbors. 
If you don’t make peace with the people around you whats the point in getting along. Our peace with one another is what keeps a war between the people of the world. The peacemakers are people who love peace. They create healthy relationships, and they call truces between enemies. We need to be the peacemakers of the world and bring people out of the dark side and into the light.
We need to make peace with everyone. Where are the peacemakers, and what happened to them?

Get To Know Jesus For Yourself

/in /by

Matthew 19:27-30
Get to know Jesus for yourself.

We need to know who Jesus is for ourselves. We have probably heard of him, but we need to know who he is, and we all have a mission. 
We all have at least heard the name Jesus once, in the streets, at home, just anywhere, but knowing who Jesus is and just hearing his name are completely different. Hearing is just that; you heard his name, but have no idea who he is, or what he did. Knowing Jesus is know the fact that he came to the world as a small baby, he spread the word of God, he had 12 disciples, and his main purpose to come to earth was to die for our sins. Knowing Jesus is knowing the facts and his history from the Bible. Since he completed his mission, now we must complete ours.
Every single person on Earth has a mission. Jesus completed his mission by coming and dying for our sins, and now we have to complete our mission before we die. 
We were put on Earth for a purpose, and we need to figure out that purpose so we fulfill our mission. You might be asking what do you get out of completing our mission; we don’t get anything because Jesus didn’t get a reward when he completed his mission. The thought and effort you put into your mission is all for God, and that could possibly gain you the gift of eternal life. 
We need to learn about Jesus for ourselves. We all need to finish our mission just like Jesus did, and we must know about him not just hear about him.

What’s Your Report?

/in /by

From a Child Prospective By Mackenzie Ware, 12 years old. ( This is what she received from Sunday message in her own words)

Numbers 13:31-33
What’s Your Report?

Your report is basically your testimony, or your report card for your life. Our report is what it is going to be and will never change, and we need to honor God’s decision. 
Your report is what it is. If you haven’t done something to try to change the bad things on your report, than your report is going to stay the way it is. If we have a dream, and hope to go to heaven, we first have to focus on our report. We need to watch what we do and what we say because our actions can affect our dreams. You need to be careful on who you tell your dream to because there are people who will tell you otherwise.
God’s decision is his decision, and there’s nothing you can do. When be promises to do something he will do it because he has NEVER broken any of his promises. So we can’t tell him when he says something that he can’t do it. 
God can do anything, and everything he does is for a reason, so when we say something he does isn’t right that’s just embarrassing. Those people who don’t believe God is going to do as he says, they just don’t have enough faith to trust in God. Those people try to bring you down to there level, but we don’t let them and we keep our faith in God. 
God is the one true person we can trust, so trust in him. When God makes his finally decision there is no changing it, so what ever your report is that’s what it’ll will be.
