Peace

As I sit up into the early morning and my mind slowly is drifting off to sleep, I realize that my heart is begging to hear you lord. My heart is so thirsty for your peace that it is commanding my mind to be still and listen in to your voice. This kind of quietness is so peaceful, its like listening to a babbling brook. My heart pulsates for your truth Lord. May your voice silence all the little beeps of machines and other distractions.

Spirit

Every day I get closer to God. The closer I get to him the more he fills me with his wonderful spirit. I want nothing to get in the way of this powerful connection. I will do whatever God wants me to do and I will give him the glory. I will boast in his name. I will crucify myself to this world, I will crucify every unclean and hurtful thing in my body to do God's will and to know his heart. I will not be afraid of opinions of my new found Glory and saving Grace. My life was saved, my soul was saved by an unquenchable unstoppable love and I will do everything in my power to show that love. Thank you Lord. Be with me.

Awesome..

Found this on another xanga post.. A bible teacher named Ron Hutchcraft wrote it.

have been to the gift shop at those Colonial villages and I’ve seen what the potter can make out of a blob of clay. Every squeeze, every poke, every spin, every cooking is to turn the clay from a blob into a masterpiece. We’re God’s clay. The mold is Jesus. And God designed you to be, through the uniqueness of your own personality and gifts, a replica of His Son.

One of life’s most frequently asked questions is, “Why, God?” The only answer that fits all situations is this—“This can make you more like Jesus than you’ve ever been.” What happens in your life is either something your Father sends or He allows. But in either case, He only allows into your life what can make you more valuable, more Christ-like.

You can’t learn to love like Jesus unless there’s someone in your life who’s hard to love; you can’t learn His sensitivity without hurting; you can’t be Jesus-patient without having to wait, or to put up with someone difficult; you can’t learn joy without circumstances that you have to rise above; you can’t learn peace without some pressure; you can’t learn faith without needs that are bigger than your ability to meet them.

But unlike clay, you choose whether the Potter’s beautiful intentions are realized. If you forget the Potter’s goal, you can become desperate, bitter, hard, self-absorbed. Or you can let Him use it for the ultimate good. If you’re going to get the pain, you might as well get the point! And that’s to make you more like Jesus. The oven and the wheel are God’s tools to transform us blobs of clay into His masterpieces!

Power through prayer

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 23:19:51 GMT

I need to pray more, we all do. The power of prayer through Jesus is unstoppable. More than one person praying about any one thing brings the attention of God and the devil to an insane level. We should pray when were happy, we should pray when were sad. We should pray for ourselves, for our friends and family.. and for the world. Trying to be in a constant state of prayer is something I want to achieve. Praying while im working.. quick prayers while im doing medial things. I shouldnt just set scheduled times of prayer, like before I go to sleep or when I wake up. I want communication with God all the time. Sometimes I feel and I think a lot of people do while praying that they cant get through to god, like there prayers are falling on deaf ears. We have to break through that, we must.

Oh God of the Universe, please help me to fall in love with you.

What are things you have learned now that you wish you knew when you were younger?

When I was just a wee little buck I wish I would have realized how much confusion, pain and apathy were in the world.. because then I would have found a way to go to Never Never Land, and not the Michael Jackson type.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

So colorful.

I had a dream involving angels and it was pretty intense. I believe I have had only two or three and one was when I was real young living in Pontiac, Michigan. At one point, I was trying some insane bike jump to get on top of this building to get this mysterious item for the angels ( i'm pretty sure it was a winning lottery ticket, millions of dollars) and I pretty much bounced off the building and began to fall many stories to my death when I was picked up and flown higher and higher, eventually into space. They gave me this crazy shield over my body so I would not be burned up and I could see the earth and the sun from way above, it was insane. Then they flew me into heaven where God was congregating with other famous/ important people. God was some old black man and mother teresa was sitting with him and other various characters. Then Mother T was like hey johns here lets figure out what to do. Apparently there was some crazy problem with the earth and they were trying to decide what to do about it so they sent me back down to help with it. I don't remember much what the issue was. This dream was inside of a dream as well. Odd.
