Luke 14:5 "Then He asked them, "If one of you has a son or a ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not Immediately pull him out" "
Jesus is at a pharisees house. Jesus asks this before He healed a man on the Sabbath.
If my family or friends fell in a well would I help them out? Would I do it immediately? I am a fearful man. The boy that I am is not the man I want to be. I miss Masculinity and I miss leadership. I miss my voice. I miss myself. 08 stole so much and only fear remains where passion, discipline and justice once stood. But I will grow and I will purge this darkness. I am an overcomer and I will fight with all my heart to win this battle. I will never compromise, only in the name of Jesus.
"Father heal this boys soul. Create the atmoshere and the climate for it to thrive. Wash away all my sins and rasie me up, only with your son. If I make it back, it's only because of you, Father"

How I've been
I know I have not posted in a while. Thank you though for still coming to my page to see what God has been doing in my life. I've been dealing a lot with fear lately and it has been effecting my life since November of 08. I'm still dealing with it, so prays are gratefully appreciated, but it has been a difficult couple of months.
But... God is always faithful and I am still leaning a lot from Him. It was cool a couple of days ago one of my friends was dealing with demonic troubles. Nothing much, just mental warfare and I was able to help her through it. Basically, some spirit was in her car and wouldn't leave. It was difficult at first just because I was dealing with pride, but I don't think it was me. I think that it the spiritual powers at play, but I was able to overcome that, then overcome what ever was in her car.
It was nice because I felt like a father again. I have not been through something like that in a while, like a couple of months.
Other than that I've been going to school and working. School will be hard, but I have faith in God over it. Not that I can get good grades, but that I may do my best, and He is faithful. I might work with the boy scouts this summer as a chaplin, I might do it. I just don't want to be politically correct. I feel like it's a price tag over me, I hate that thought. But I will be able live in the woods for eight weeks. So whatever, Gods will.
I need to work harder at reading and studying scripture, so that a goal. Well I love you, all out there in blog land. Enjoy my life journals

A Communion Message
So I haven't written in awhile and I truly am sorry God has been doing so much within me. The Lord spoke this to me a couple of weeks ago. Now I have a Communion Message. Love Ya.
Don't bite off of me!
"6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
A person can live there whole life and never receive healing from the fruit of the tree of Knowledge. A Christian can live out there walk, and still have sin in there heart, never seeing God heal them of it.
You see Christ is the True Vine, the tree of life. Jesus died on a tree, legend says it was a dogwood tree. Jesus could have died any sort of way, it is interesting though that he died on tree for the redemption from the tree of knowledge. When Jesus died the tree of Knowledge was destroyed.
When Jesus broke the bread and gave the wine, he was giving us the fruit of the tree of Life. Communion is so important in are walk with Jesus. We live in a world that's dying, we live in body's that are dying. We need Life and only through the body and the blood of the new covenant can we receive life.
We can live are whole Christian walk and never be alive. Do not make Communion vanity, rather receive the life that God intended you to have.

Gen 3:6-7 (NIV)
5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:5 (NIV)
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you
Luke 22:19-20 (NIV)"
In the Garden of Eden there was two trees. These two trees have a significant place in scripture, one tree gives life, the other takes life. In Genesis there is two, but in Revelation there is only one tree, the tree of life. When the human race ate of the tree of Knowledge we lost our eternal life, and received a life of death, because that was the fruit of the tree. This was the reason why Christ died for us on a cross.A person can live there whole life and never receive healing from the fruit of the tree of Knowledge. A Christian can live out there walk, and still have sin in there heart, never seeing God heal them of it.

Why?
Why do I have to be adult, in most situations in my life? I'm done with people's crap. I'm the youngest, why should I have to be the one who confronts. Does anyone care about me? Does anyone have the courtesy to ask? Why is it so hard to be in my family? Why do I have to Lead it? I hate selfishness with all that is in me. Why must you always talk about yourself. You leave no room in conversation for me to breath my hurt, my pain. You have a problem and wont even admit it, nor will you ever see it. You've gone so far that you don't even trust me anymore. STILL, Yet will I still pray for you. It will take more than this for me to give up, You're my family, my blood, a person a care to deeply for. I love you so much. Please let God change your Heart. We all are hurting from the divorce, can't you see that? You just don't care about the family. Why?

Five years going strong worm, when will you stop contending with God & men and come and rest? You are loved and people do care.

"Answer my Prayer, O'God"
I was doing my Dev. today and was writing my prayer for the day. I went through it all, then at the end of it I said, "answer my prayer, O'God". Then the Lord spoke to me reminding me how selfish it was to ask that. He wanted to know if I meant it as me saying, "Lord your Will, as long as you just answer it" or "Me forcing my will upon Him". Needless to say I was humbled this morning. Love ya.

"For Those Who Wait"
Acts 1:4 "And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, Which," [Jesus] He said, "you have heard from me;"
Jesus is just about to ascend into Heaven and He is speaking to His disciples, telling them to wait at Jerusalem.
I have so many needs in my life. It's easy to not be aggressive in my prayer time. Then because I'm not aggressive I become very passive with my needs. I need God to be Masculine, I need signs of Love that are just for me, I need heart from Him, I need Him as an all consuming fire to consume me. My need will only be filled when I push for it in prayer, but it is only for those who wait. And that wait should not be neglected, but honored. It creates suffering, and Love suffers long.
"Lord give me grace. Grace when I'm not aggressive with you, nor when I don't wait. Have grace on me."

Ready for a Fight
Nehemiah 4:17 "Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon."
Nehemiah is rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonities and the Ashdodites conspired to put a stop to Nehemiah's plans. So the Israelites had to be ready for a fight at any time of the day.
I think that this is a perfect symbol of a Christian. One hand they constructed, the other they held a weapon, ready for a fight when who ever came knocking. We must work hard at rebuilding the walls of our heart, but do not be ignorant towards the evil that waits for you. Do not fear the battle, but anticipate the victory. Work hard at rebuilding yourself, and be ready for a fight. Peace comes only after a war. You must fight and you will win.
"Lord I open my heart to you. Search me deep down inside and show me who I am, not what I am."
