A new challenge for me. 30 days of Thanks

So these last almost 30 days I've been doing a 30 day of Thanks. Focusing on him and how to become thankful even in the most hardest of times and that where I found my most inner strength is being thankful in the most destructive times. Coming soon to the blog.

How to be a strong christian in a sinful world like this.

1st. You will need to never be ashamed of your passion and love you have for Jesus in a sinful world like this. Also, you will never need to be ashamed of your faith. The world mocked Jesus and us Christians get mocked by the world now because of our passion, love and our faith. I rather be in the savior's love than to be loved by the world. Actually, there is really no love in this world. It's a dark place where there is sin, temptation, and no love.

2nd. You need to make sure that you spend time alone with God. In prayer and in reading the bible on a daily basis. It doesn't matter how long you're with him on a daily basis. It's just letting God know that your there to spend time with him and to hear from him.

3rd. Tell the devil to flee from you because he will tempt you that he is better than God. When in reality God is way bigger than the devil and the storm you're going through.

4th. Surround yourself with people who love god and not things of this world. Separate yourself from the things of this world. You will find when you do that the those things won't satisfy your soul. The only thing that will satisfy your soul is the love and grace that God has poured upon us.

5th. Let God show you his way because his way is correct and always perfect. His timing is always perfect, and it's not in your time. He does it in his time I found because he waits until we're ready for what we want.

6th. It helps to listen to worship bands and sing with them. My favorite bands are Elevation Worship, Jesus Culture, Hillsong United, Hillsong Live, Hillsong Young and Free. Chris Tomlin, Bethel Live, Citizens, David Crowder Band, Third Day, The Sing Team.

Wait for the Lord, for he is righteous

Wait on the Lord for he is righteous and he knows what is right.

I found waiting on the Lord is difficult and I sometimes become impatient.  I sometimes want to do things my way, but sometimes it's not necessarily the correct way. God wants you to wait on him and wait for his plan and timing. God has the most perfect timing for everything.

Trust in the Lord for he knows what is correct: 

The first step to waiting on the lord I found was trusting him and his ways.
A verse that has helped me was in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Once, I found this I realized that not all my ways are correct and that I should trust him and his understanding.

Humble yourself before the lord for he doesn't like the proud:

In James 4:6 "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” James 4:10 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." God wants you to be humble not prideful and he will lift you up.


God's timing takes patience:

Jame 5:7 "Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains." God's coming isn't in your own, so be patient and wait on him.

Hebrews 6:12 : "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Be patient and have strength in your faith with your relationship with Jesus. Then, he will give what he has promised you because you were patient.

Romans 12:12 : "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." I found this very useful you can't be all down in the dumps when you are hoping for something. You can't be discouraged in the afflicition because all that does is make you more upset. In prayer you have to remain faithful because if you're not faithful in it, then your not believing in it. 


 You'll need courage, while waiting:  

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” -God is with you where you go and you don't have to be afraid, be strong and courageous.

Matthew 14:26-28 "When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 

 



I've been waiting on the Lord, he has rewarded me with many blessings.

Jesus is my life, I want to follow him forever. He is amazing, and I will wait for him to direct me according to his purpose.

My Baptism :)

On October 29, 2011
I decided to get baptized by The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. I felt it was the next step in obedience. I got saved on August 22, 2010. I didn't want to follow the world any longer, and I was showing God I was serious.
