Here’s something short but thought provoking. While at work today I got a thinking. Which is dangerous sometimes. Well here’s my thought. America is taking Christ out of Christmas. Sinners are not complaining about it. You can barely hear the Christians complaining about it. Now today is Halloween. If you go back in history it’s pretty much the devil’s day to say the least. You don’t here people complain about this day. They don’t call this day a holiday but Halloween. Even though this day offends many. The government doesn’t say that it’s no longer Halloween, but a holiday. That was the governments answer why they are taking Christ out of Christmas, because it offends other people’s beliefs. So why don’t they do something about Halloween. Well it’s because most Christians are out there on the streets with the rest. There dressed up in there costumes blending in with the rest. What happen to Christians not being part of the world. What would you do if the raptured happened when you were trick or treating. Standing in front of God in you silly little costume. I don’t think so. My kids will never dress up for school. They will never celebrate this so called day. I do think it’s great that church’s put something on. But at the same time even though they don’t celebrate Halloween are they not celebrating it. Let me say it this way. If there was no such day as Halloween would the church’s have a celebration day. Just a thought. It’s time for us to get real with what God wants. It’s time for us to stand out from the world. Tell your kids the real reason why they can’t trick or treat. Tell them who Santa Claus really was. Let them know the real reason why we celebrate Christmas and not Halloween. God Bless.

I hear people saying they wish that there church will have a revival. Some say they pray all the time for a revival in there church. Let me ask you something? Maybe God is waiting for you to stand up. Maybe He’s waiting for you to do the things He’s said you to do. Instead you would rather pray for someone else to do it. It’s easier that way. You can stay comfortable in your lazy boy while someone else is doing the work. That is totally wrong. How can God move when the people of the church don’t want to stand out and do what God is telling them what to do. How can God honor a church that is asleep and lazy? He can’t. You’ll be waiting a long time for that revival because it won’t be coming soon. It’s time for us Christians to get out of our comfort zones. It’s time that we take back what the devil has stolen. The devil has taken so much from you that you don’t even know. Let see what he has stolen while you were sleeping. Have you been sick? Have you been watching trash on TV? Maybe you have succumbed to the curse words on TV seeing that there nothing wrong with it. Maybe you watch TV shows that have gays and lesbians in them and see nothing wrong with it. You only open your bible on Sundays if you’re lucky! Some of you don’t even know where your bible is! I could keep going and going. What are we doing. We are living our lives that we have a life time to get close to God and read the Bible. Let me tell you this. You could be reading this and the rapture might happen. Or maybe your watching a bad TV show or going to a bad movie when the rapture happens. The next thing you know your staring God right in His eyes. What are you going to say then. We have all forgotten that Jesus lives within us. So what ever we do Jesus sees us doing it. It’s time to get on fire for God. It’s time for us to start expecting things to happen. If you haven’t read your Bible for a while start reading in Acts. The things they did we will do also. They had a fear of God. They would rather die for God then not stand up for Him. When is the last time you’ve done that. It’s time to get on our knees in prayer. Not just saying words, but confessing those things and standing on those things. We need to praise God like no other time in our lives. When we seeing we need not care who is standing next to us. But our whole consideration needs to be on God and God alone. When we worship Him we need to mean the words we sing. We need to start loving Him like our Heavenly Father and not some god that is no where to be seen. He’s everywhere you go. So start acting like it. You are the person that God has been waiting for to stand up. He’s been waiting for you to get into His word. He’s been waiting for you to praise Him with your whole heart. He’s been waiting for you to be praying with boldness. He’s been waiting for you to start the revival.

Not much to say tonight but wow. My body and brain is filled with the spirit of God still from the morning service. I’m on cloud nine. God is great. The service went better than enough. The kids were awesome. The sang with authority and power. They spoke with that same authority and power. All the ones that spoke. Spoke with God’s wisdom on there lips. The drama skit was done in perfection. After that God took over. The simple service if you can say that at our church usually gets done between 1200-1230. Today we got done at 130ish. Not one complaining. Actually I dismissed everyone but no one moved for a few minutes. That’s how powerful God’s present’s was in the service. All I know is that God took this church to another level. Our church will never be the same after this service. Glory to God. God is great!!!!!!!!!!!!
