WHAT ARE YOU WEARING ?

SLIPPAS’, SANDALS, FLIP FLOPS

HIGH HEELS OR BOOTS ?

“JESUS IN YOUR SHOES”

WHAT IF JESUS WALKED IN YOUR SHOES?

“Be Imitators of God and Walk in Love” Eph.5:1

If He were in your shoes how would He treat your next door neighbor? …..or person who is your thorn in the flesh,…..or the boss that drives you insane? How far would He walk to help the sick coworker,…. the lonely widow, …..the man with addiction?

IS JESUS IN YOUR SHOES?

If He were in your shoes how much time would He spend on social media, …..his favorite TV addition,…..or at the golf course or body building at the gym?

If He put on your expensive Nike kicks or 200 dollar hiking boots how much would He sacrifice to give to needy families or missionaries in the jungle?

IS JESUS IN YOUR SHOES ?

To “imitate” Jesus means to think the same way and copy Him.

It Means Do as He does ,,,,,,, Love other people of the world

It Means Follow His example Help them with their needs

It Means Be like Him and tell them the good news of eternal life

SO WHEN I IMITATE JESUS

I try to think as He would think about life…..do not lay up treasures on earth but treasures in heaven

I endeavor to follow his commands…… seek first the kingdom of God and His right ways of living

I strive to care about what He cares about……. consider all the children of the world they are His children

I decide to pray the way Jesus prays……. My Father in heaven your kingdom come in my life and not my will but yours be done.

I copy the places He goes in the world….. to the sick, lonely, hurting, wounded, disadvantaged, and forgotten

IS JESUS IN YOUR SHOES ?

I often forget and go do what He doesn’t want me to do

and I too often say what embarrasses Him

and I forget and neglect the things He asks of me.

He is always there but I forget His presence and when I doubt

I push Him out

SO LET ALL OF US IMITATE JESUS AND

Go into all the world wear the shoes good news like He did

Be a good Samaritan like He was

Forgive the one who hurt you like He forgave His enemies

Sacrifice for others and serve the needy

Be a servant with a wash basin of humility for everyone

Believe Him for miracles and live by faith

until next time

let’s walk in love

and imitate Him

FAITH IT’S COMPLICATED

without exception a

MONUMENTAL REQUIREMENT

A BEHEMOTH FOR BELIEVERS

WITH PYTHONIC RESULTS

AND A HERCULEAN LIFE

FAITH IS THE GARGANTUAN WORD IN THE BIBLE.

Without faith no one can please God. Faith can move mountains but most disciples had very little faith. By faith people are saved but many are afraid of this word. It is ginormous. It is frightening to EMPLOY. It is beyond reason. It is out of this world.

We make this word so scary, so spiritual, so illusive that we think it is impossible for us common ordinary followers of Jesus to practice. Nothing is further from the truth. Little children have faith every day without even a question or doubt. It is adults who become the doubting Thomas of life. SO……

WHAT IS FAITH?

HOW SHOULD I UNDERSTAND IT?

CONFIDENCE

Faith is being confident. Confident God loves me, confident He cares about me. Confident He will provide for me. Think of faith as simply putting confidence in a loving mighty awesome God.

FAITHFUL

Faith is knowing He has always been there for me and always will continue to be there for me. He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. I have faith when I see His faithfulness and know He will continue to be faithful in everyway.

ACCEPTANCE

Faith is accepting His perfection. He is perfect, always perfect, His perfect will for me is the absolute best ever for my life. Accepting His will is expressing faith that He knows what is in my best interest. He never makes mistakes. Accepting this is faith !

ANSWERED PRAYER

Faith is remembering He has answered so many prayers of the past and faith is realizing He will still forever continue to do that even more as days go by. Reflecting on past victories and answers to prayer helps increase faith for future problems.

TRIALS

Faith is realizing that He will never give you more trials than you can handle. Faith is not letting go or giving up like a victim. Faith is accepting trials for my good and my growth in maturity. Faith is knowing trials are an important part of life for me.

LETTING GO

Faith is saying I am letting go of control. I cannot control anything any more and I am taking my hands off the steering wheel and folding them in my lap so God can steer my life. It is giving Him permission to drive my life wherever He so desires. Not my will but thy will be accomplished. Faith is letting go of the outcome today tomorrow and the future.

LET YOUR FAITH BE GREATER THAN YOUR FEAR

In amazing ways we trust doctors, dentists, optometrists, heart surgeons, tax preparers, psychiatrists, marriage counselors We hardly even know them. But we pay them lots of money and believe their advice and instructions are right and good for us. We trust them to know and do their job.

GOD IS GREATER, MORE POWERFUL, WISER, MORE LOVING AND PERFECT

SO WE MUST trust Him. Apply that very same faith. Faith is confidence in Him. Letting go of all things to Him, Faith is following His counsel wisdom and loving advice to us. We trust the professionals but somehow fail to let our Eternally Perfect Father who has promised to care for His children care for us. God is far superior to any medical health professional. God is the best ULTIMATE supreme “Eternal Professional” and waits for us to trust Him. So just start now and DO IT! (note…old hospital photo is from the past)

HOW TO MAKE GOD HAPPY ?

God has feelings too, He hurts too, He gets sad too. He feels bad when His followers won’t believe Him…. “O you of little faith” We make Him happy when we show confidence in what He tells us. We please Him when we exercise trust in His promises. We honor Him when we practice faith and stop worrying or complaining. It is a privilege to let go and let God be the captain of our soul and daily life. So just start now and DO IT ! Just be confident and make Him happy today. You can DO IT !

until next time

faith is better

than fear

WE WORRY WARTS IN LIFE

WHAT ME WORRY?

WELL OK

I WORRY SOME

HONESTLY YES

I WORRY A LOT

CAN’T HELP MYSELF

IT IS A BAD HABIT

WORRY FREE THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO BE

So this blog is about how to overcome and be victorious over the worry, anxiety, fear, and nervous feelings we all experience.

WORRY IS A POWERFUL EMOTION

BUT ONLY AN EMOTION

Worry is a feeling that we feel when we feel we are going to feel something bad. We feel we will loose possessions, property, people and or power in our circumstances. Our emotions tell us to be afraid and get nervous. However emotions do not have power to change anything but only make things worse…. headaches ulcers sleepless nights etc.

THINGS WE WORRY OVER

WE WORRY OVER THINGS WE DEEM IMPORTANT

Like our money and our house and car and job and family and friends. Andy Stanley says we worry over things we are devoted too. These things are important and we are afraid to lose them in one way or another, perhaps in a huge loss. Jesus said you cannot be devoted to God and your stuff (mammon) possessions at same time. We worry over stuff we think we own. But really don’t own anything. We only manage things.

WE WORRY OVER THINGS OUT OF CONTROL…. THINGS WE CANNOT CONTROL

Jesus said be devoted to me and not your stuff that you cannot control. Any moment of the day we can lose our stuff. We lose by terrible accident, financial trouble, employment layoffs, evil attacks and disasters and more. Suddenly it could all disappear from cancer or crime against us or foolish wasteful decisions. Nothing do we really control.

BE DEVOTED TO GOD NOT STUFF

So Jesus told us make God your first and highest most important commitment and devotion. “Therefore do not worry about your life” “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” “No one can serve two masters” You cannot serve God and your stuff so therefore be devoted to God.

PUT ALL YOUR STUFF UNDER HIS CONTROL

Since you cannot control it let God be the one to be in charge of everything, all possessions, all people you love, all check books and 401K accounts and totally 100 % of all your life.

LET GOD DO ALL WORRYING FOR YOU

Our worry is a waste of time and energy and emotions. So stop the worry and give God the responsibility to take care of your stuff and people you love. He loves you and loves your people and things you care about. He is a better caretaker than we could ever be.

FEAR NOT……. WORRY NOT……… DON’T BE AFRAID

This message is repeated throughout the Bible over 360 times to all God fearful worried and nervous followers and disciples.

Joshua…. fear not I am with you

Shepherds…. fear not I bring good news.

Mary fear not…you shall call His name Jesus

Israel fear not … for I am your God

Dear friend, fear not and worry not…. I will never leave you nor forsake you

SIDNEY E COX….. HIS CHORUS

“The Lord knows the way through the wilderness all I have to do is follow.

Strength for today is mine always and all I need for tomorrow”

So do not worry…. it is futile and waste of time. Put God in charge of today and tomorrow.

Dear Lord I give you all my todays and all my tomorrows I will devote myself to you.

KING DAVID’S POWERFUL WORDS

“The Lord will work out His plans for my Life” Ps. 138:9

Therefore abandon all fear, worry and Strife.

Don’t let your emotions control your life let the Lord be in control and give you the peaceful life.

JEREMIAH’S POWERFUL WORDS

“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 a hope

and a future” Jer. 29:11

Therefore believe the Lord and His plans for your life

not your emotions which are merely feelings that

you feel about your fears.

He has great plans waiting to be yours and His plans never fail.

until next time

no worries

DON’T LIVE LIKE THAT !

A TERRIBLE WAY TO LIVE

NO ONE REALLY LIKES IT

IT IS SAD AND DEPRESSING

SO VERY DEMORALIZING

PEOPLE HATE THIS WAY OF LIFE

DON’T GET STUCK HERE

THIS WAS ONCE A VERY ATTRACTIVE HOME

IT HAD A GREAT WONDERFUL DECK AND LARGE BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS

THERE WAS A WONDERFUL GREEN LAWN WITH AN OCEAN VIEW AND FRONT YARD ON THE BAY

SOME ONE LIVED HERE IN THIS ONCE VERY EXPENSIVE AND ATTRACTIVE HOME…. BUT

IT DID NOT LAST

UNFORTUNATELY FOR MANY

TRIALS AND TROUBLES COME AND NEGLECT AND FAILURE ….

THEN LIFE FALLS APART

We all battle the rundown depressing useless attacks on life. There is a constant fear that terrible things can come and leave us alone, isolated and in great jeopardy. “What if I can’t succeed ? “What if my life is a total wreckage.”

SOMETIMES WE FIND OURSELVES UPROOTED AND CUT OFF AND USELESS AND SPIRITUALLY DEAD

DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN

God has better things and richer things and nicer things in store for you. He has an outstanding encouraging and wonderful direction ahead. There is a larger extended purpose for all His creation. No one is an accident in life. Everyone and everything has PURPOSE.

THE BEAUTIFUL ALBATROSE LIVE, FLY, MATE, EXIST FOR A PURPOSE

THE GENTLE, LOVABLE, INTELLIGENT FOUR LEGGED CREATURES HAVE PURPOSE

THE PLANTS AND FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN FULFILL A GREAT AMAZING PURPOSE

THE SPECIAL UNIQUE ANIMALS OF THE SEA HAVE THEIR OWN PURPOSE

THIS GUY IS BEAUTIFUL…. OLD ?YES … TIRED ? …YES…… WRINKLED ? …OF COURSE BUT—- NO MATTER

He has a purpose to fulfill in the plan of his Creator.

JUST LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL TREES AND CLOUDS IN THE SKY

YOU HAVE AN AMAZING PURPOSE TOO.

JUST LIKE THE WAVES AND WIND OF THE OCEAN CURRENTS … YOU EXIST FOR A GLORIOUS PURPOSE.

Without purpose we all feel “worth– less” and without value and adrift in the sea of life. God created us for a purpose. Without it life loses meaning. We are born, we grow up, go to school, get married or single, earn a living, get old, retire and slow down, then pass on !!! That is sick and sad but….. Value is found in Purpose. Fulfillment in Purpose. Joy in Purpose.

WHAT’S OUR PURPOSE ?

OUR PURPOSE IS LOVING THE PEOPLE GOD CREATED.

In order to love God we must love His children. We cannot say we love God if we fail to love His people. He is the Father of all mankind and He loves His “kids”. Failing to love His children is failure to love Him. Our command is to love God with all our hearts therefore we show love to Him by honoring His people, His creation, His family. Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as your self. Our neighbor is all God’s children.

ARE YOU LOVING THEM ?

OUR PURPOSE IS VERY VERY SIMPLE

IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS…. RUN DOWN, FALLING APART, WASTED, USELESS

Just go back to fulfilling the purpose God plans for you. Actively start loving God by loving His people all around you. Love them the way you would love to be treated, care about them, serve them, spend time with them, encourage them. You can restore that meaningful joy that has been lost.

“Focus on others instead of self. Put your ego on the shelf.”

“Live for His purpose with great Confidence

Then trust in His amazing Providence

And you will have a powerful Experience”…….. a Meaningful Lasting Purpose !

until next time

live on purpose

and keep the focus

LET FREEDOM RING

IN YOUR LIFE

ENJOY FREEDOM

FREEDOM IS EXCITING

IT IS BOUNDLESS

IT IS ABUNDANT PLEASURE

FULL OF GRACE AND GRATITUDE

Do you live in Freedom, walk in Liberty, excel in true Emancipation ? Our global society is in great bondage. It is ruled by dictators, despots, demonic oligarchs who keep multitudes in darkness. Our global family is full of slaves, prisoners, traffic victims, political and religious enemies. There is great universal bondage.

Do you live in your own bondage?

Bondage of past abuse, abandonment, addiction, loneliness and fear?

Bondage of guilt, greed, envy or jealousy?

Perhaps your bondage is anxiety, worry, insecurity or inferiority ?

LOOK AT BIRDS GOD CREATED THEY ARE FREE

SEE OCEAN WAVES DANCE IN FREEDOM

WATCH CLOUDS GLIDE THE SKY IN PERFECT LIBERTY

SEE THE SUNSET CLEANSE EARTH IN PEACE AND FREEDOM

WATCH SUNRISE AWAKEN THE WORLD TO A FREE GLORIOUS DAY

ARE YOU FREE?

Our Savior came to set captives free…. Isa.61:1

He came to break our bondage of captivity, darkness, evil and incarceration of the enemy. Scripture declares “It is for freedom that He has set us free”…Gal.5:1 So Are You Free ?

We are asked to live in freedom from every bondage that threatens our liberty. Jesus said “The TRUTH shall set you free. He is the Way the TRUTH and the Life of freedom.

” Freedom is our gift from God if you resist it is very odd”

Who would ever resist such a perfect gift of God ? Why resist ? It is insane to pass up all that comes with His perfect gift.

DON’T BE INSANE !

“God offers liberty as our way of life but bondage is burdened with strife” Who would choose bondage?

ARE YOU FREE ?

FREEDOM IS MULTI-DEMENSIONAL….. INCLUDING

ALL THESE BLESSINGS

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self Control

Make the choice and accept the gift Jesus gives you and receive His freedom now. Many Believers still struggle with their own form of bondage. They worry all the time. They fret over guilt and not doing enough. They worry about “Am I Ok” performance and a “bunch” of their own rules to be good and live up to. They miss the freedom and acceptance of His love and joy and childlike faith. Come back to freedom. Receive forgiveness and liberty all over again. It is for freedom that He has set us free. Kick bondage to the curb and bask in His loving Grace. He has set you free. Let Freedom Ring

CLAIM HIS FREEDOM

Admit Your Bondage….I am prisoner to my sin and struggle

Accept His Grace…..I receive your forgiveness and freedom Jesus offers me

Acknowledge His Gift…. I will live in your freedom and liberty as a gift.

until next time

be free

there is

joy for you and me

RUNNING WAY TOO FAST ?

RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL

RUNNING CRAZY LAPS

RUNNING BEHIND TRYING TO CATCH UP

RUNNING IN CIRCLES AND FRUSTRATED

RUNNING WRONG DIRECTION

Old saying….. I’m stuck in a rat race, on a tread mill, can’t stop the madness,

worried about the horrible consequences and

want off the defective dangerous merry go round

.

Which Path are You Running Down?

IS IT A LONG UNKNOWN BARREN ROAD THAT NEVER SEEMS TO END?

The Master said….. I will never leave you and I will be with you.

IS YOUR ROAD A DIFFICULT UPHILL CLIMB AND STRUGGLE?

Almighty God said …. I will strengthen you and uphold you with my right hand of righteousness

IS YOUR PATH ON A CLIFF 1000 FEET ABOVE THE SEA?

Be thankful for trials throughout the day and you will have victory in every way

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR ROAD IS A DEAD END TO NO WHERE?

The Savior said …… follow me I am the way and this is the way walk in it.

MAYBE YOUR ROAD MAKES YOU FEEL HELPLESS ?

The Good Book says….. when I am weak then I am strong. So when we pray help is on the way !

ARE YOU RUNNING THE WRONG WAY ON A ONE WAY TRAIL?

Stop, Turn Around, About Face, Do a “180” …. Repent means change your mind and go a new direction

LIFE IS NOT A SPRINT BUT A MARATHON AND REQUIRES PATIENT ENDURANCE

Life is not always easy….. Take up your cross and follow Jesus and the “joy of the Lord” is your strength

EMBRACE THE RACE AND RUN WITH GRACE

Embrace the hardship, the illness, the test of faith, the burden…..

Embrace means Welcome, Accept, Openly with both arms jump into the middle

of the race whatever God gives you.

So JUST DO IT… JUMP IN

GOT ANY RIVERS YOU THINK ARE UNCROSSABLE

Nothing too hard for God

GOT ANY MOUNTAINS YOU CAN’T TUNNEL THROUGH

Our God moves Mountains for us

GOD SPECIALIZES IN THINGS THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE

AND HE CAN DO WHAT NO OTHER POWER CAN DO

So Go Ahead and Ask HIM….LET HIM

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PATH, STEPS OR RACE MAY BE

NO WORRIES ABOUT LIFE’S DEMANDS JUST TRUST

IN HIS POWERFUL ALMIGHTY HANDS

HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME

WHATEVER YOUR RACE REMEMBER

Patient endurance is what you need now……Heb. 10:36

Run with endurance the race God has set before you…..Heb.12:1

Run your race to win the prize….1 Cor 9:24

And God Will Give You a Great Surprise

until next time

run to God

on purpose

P S I love hearing from you and receiving your ideas and suggestions. See comments below

ADVERSITY EVERYONE INCLUDED

NO ONE ESCAPES ADVERSITY

IT IS A BURDEN

IT ROBS OUR SANITY

IT ATTACKS OUR FEELINGS

IT HURTS EVERYDAY JOY

Adversity leaves us feeling like a victim and steals our win. Adversity hijacks our joy and depletes our strength. So what to do ? Where to begin? What is the answer?

HOW TO TURN ADVERSITY TO ADVANTAGE ?

ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT CANNOT BE CHANGED

If I cannot change circumstances, then I can change my attitude. I can choose my attitude ! “You are in charge of joy don’t believe the victim ploy” Joy is your choice and it will defeat adversity.

LOOK FOR LIGHT IN DARK ADVERSITY

Don’t let darkness detour your determination and destination. God is the Light of the World. Follow that Light in the tunnel of darkness. The darker the night the brighter the Light of God. Let His Light shine through the darkness out through adversity. Jesus’ Light always dispels darkness

SEE THE GOOD IN THE TERRIBLE ADVERSITY

The big picture of adversity is ……God behind the scenes is doing great things for us. He is building our strength, character, patience, humility, and dependence on Him. In reality we should thank God for every adverse problem….. it is for our own development. Remember the big picture of His love is on our behalf.

REMEMBER GOD IS FINALLY TOTALLY IN CONTROL

He will right every wrong, every attack, every injustice. It is not our job to be in control of His authority. To question God in adversity is to say “I know better” “I am right and He is wrong” “God made a big mistake” Who do we think we are to question the power and wisdom of the amazing God of all Time and Eternity ?

LET JESUS EXAMPLE BE OUR EXAMPLE

In the face of the adversity of death Jesus said “Not my will but thy will be done” There was a great purpose for the adversity of Jesus death……. so with us ….. He has a good purpose for our injustice, dislikes, disturbances too. If we want to be like Jesus we must say…… “OK I will accept my adversity and Thy will be done in my life as you God decide what is best for me.”

EYES ON JESUS NOT THE ADVERSITY

Who can say with King David….

“He will have no fear of bad news because his heart is steadfast TRUSTING in the Lord” Ps. 112:7 Trusting in Jesus with eyes on Him removes the fear of any adversity and bad news. That my friend is really GOOD NEWS.

CURE FOR ADVERSITY

Focus on Presence of God…… I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Focus on the Power of God…… I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Focus on the Promises of God …. faith is the victory that overcomes the world and (adversities in it)

“Let your faith be greater then your fear and you will overcome all adversity that is near”.

until next time

turn adversity

to advantage

and choose joy
