Good and Bad Zucchini’s

A few years back my wife and I were able to have our first garden. So we were wondering what to plant. We planted the normal veggies. Like tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, etc. I told my wife that there was one thing I really wanted to plant. zucchini!! I don’t like it fried, baked, or in any other way than in bread. My wife makes a killer zucchini bread. She puts brown sugar and cinnamon on top. WOW!! I’m getting hungary. So here we are gardening virgins. We wondered how many zucchini plants to buy? We we ended up getting 10 plants. Ok, ok, stop laughing. We didn’t know how much they grew, and grew, and grew. We couldn’t give them away fast enough. In 2 weeks of the beginning of harvesting we had 50 bags filled with zucchini to make bread. Lucky we had some hungary chickens. Those suckers ate them up like it was nothing. Our life is just like these zucchini plants. Either sin is gonna grow crazily or the word of God is in our hearts. When we sin. It starts a plant of sin in our hearts. The more we do it the bigger it gets. Then it starts to produce fruits that are rotten and smelly. You start to affect everyone around you by your bad attitude, lying, drunkenness, cursing, or even your laziness. It grows rampant in your life to were it overcomes you. You also can grow good fruits. The more you read the word and pray, and do what the word says.  Your plant starts to grow bigger and bigger. It starts to produce good fruits. Which affects everyone around you by you caring, love, kindness. long suffering, gentleness, and with the righteousness of God.  The good and bad fruit is contagious. If you have bad fruit. You will pass it along to people around you. Ever been around someone that complains or gossips. It is also true about the good fruit. Ever been around someone that is always happy and positive. If your life isn’t going so good. Look at yourself and see what kind of fruits you are producing. If your heart smells like manure. You might not have anyone around you that doesn’t smell like manure. Manure likes the smell of manure. If your heart is filled with God’s word and love. You will be around people that are filled with love and joy. God’s love is contagious.

Luke 6:44-45 (New International Version, ©2011)

⁴⁴ Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. ⁴⁵ A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Getting on my nerves!

Had a fun time this morning. Was able to talk about God on the job. Don’t get much of a chance to do that. I drive a bus for the Northstar Link here in Minnesota. It’s a fun job, but a challenging one to. Just like anyother job it has it’s ups and downs. Mostly the downs are all the snow storms we get. I don’t have a choice to be late. All the riders depend on me to get them to there destination on time every time. Kind of like God depends on us to get his Word out to the world. The world is the world that you live in. It doesn’t have to be in Africa, Mexico, or anyother place. It’s your community. We don’t have that choice not to spread the Word. He told us to do it. We don’t disobey our Father’s do we? We also need to be on time with His word. When He tells us to go. It means it’s time to go. It’s not our choice it’s His. He’s the boss.

Everyday isn’t always a pleasant day. You get those college students that well can drive a person crazy within minutes. You know the know it all, the curses, and your not my parent. It used to get me just riled up. The steam would just start to come out of the ears. I wondered how they could act that way or say those things. The truth is. That’s all they know. Sinners only know how to do one thing right. Which is sin. So who am I to get mad at them for not knowing any better. Who am I to judge them unless I want to get judged. These are the people that God wants us to reach out to. Not to get mad at, but to love with arms opened wide. Isn’t that what Jesus did for us. We used to be just like them. I think we forget that sometimes. Where we came from, and how much God has changed us.

I am so happy that I have a loving Father in Heaven that never gave up one me. No matter what I did or said He was always there. He never gave up. So why do we sometimes. We look at certain people and don’t even bother talking to them, becuase the way they look. Jesus went to the most disgusting people and talked to them. We need to follow His lead. We all need to live today as it was our last. Never know when the rapture is going to happen. We are so eager to help an animal that is hurt. Then to help someone going to hell. The ones you talk to today may not be here tomorrow. Let’s make sure everyone around us get a chance to make a decision on where they want to go. Let’s change today for the better.

Our God our Healer

We are in interesting times now. There’s more disease and cancers going around. As Christians we don’t have to accept any sickness or diseases in our lives. We have to remember that the devil comes to kill steal and destroy. He does this easily with sickness in the family. He steals your life from you and your family. He kills you and steals you from the life you were supposed to have. That’s why Jesus went to hell and defeated the devil. So he couldn’t do those things to us anylonger. We have victory and authority over everyday of our lives.  If you do have a sickness in you or a cancer, and you’re overwhelmed by what’s in front of you. Don’t worry. Give it to God. Confess these scriptures and believe what you say.

Psalm 118:17 – I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.  

Psalm 107:20 -   God sent His Word and healed me.
 
Psalm 91:9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
   and you make the Most High your dwelling,
¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,
   no disaster will come near your tent.
¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
   to guard you in all your ways;
¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
   you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ “Because he^[b] loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
   I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him;
   I will be with him in trouble,
   I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
   and show him my salvation.”

  
Matthew 8:17  This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities  and bore our diseases.”

   John 6:63 - ⁶³ The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit^[a] and life.r of my being.
 
Jeremiah 29:11 -  ¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God knows the plans that He has for you, and the devil doesn’t want you to get there. The devil is fearful of what you will accomplish. So now is the best time. To show the devil who you are in Christ. If God can turn water into wine. Part the red sea, and raise the dead. The problem you have right now will be a piece of cake. Just like from my last post. God can do the impossible. He’s given us the authority to accomplish the impossible thru his word. So when you say these scriptures make sure you take it as the word. Don’t let doubt come in, but authority abound in you. Here’s an awesome song. Play it over and over again. Just praising God. When you praise God your faith builds up in God and his word.
