Snowman

When we had our first snowfall, Parker wanted to go make a snowman so Myself, Parker and Jamie Rea went out to make one. It was so fun the bottom ball was huge and the 2nd ball we needed help to lift it, after many different ways of trying to get it up we finally acheived our goal. Then out of no where some guys: Scott A, Ryan, Gimil and Scott R come out and ambused us with snowballs. once they had their fun we got back to work and made the head, Charlene came and started to help us, she did the face, she did a great job and put she own scarf on Pete (we named the snowman).

Then during the next few hours, someone or something came a knocked part of Petes head off and stabed him with his own arms. then over the next few days shovles where stabed into him. as the days went by he got smaller and smaller, The Sun came out and got bigger and bigger, hotter and hotter and little by litter Pete got smaller and smaller untill he was no more, all that is left is a carrot and the coal laying on the grass.

By the way there is no snow on the ground right now

Truth is Offensive

OK at the start of the month I left a comment on my friend’s blog, but as I sometimes do I got on my own soapbox. Having wanted to continue on my soapbox I decided to save it for later and write about it on my own blog. So I have copied and pasted part of her entry and then my comment so you grasp the full picture of how it all stared and came out.

Here's my thing today. I get so frustrated with THE CHURCH (ie) all believers. We say we want God. And we say we want to see people saved. But how many have actually brought someone to Jesus lately? I'm not trying to lay a guilt trip. But if Jesus is really making a difference in our lives, then why is it so hard to share Him? I don't think it has to be! Yeah, our lives need to be living examples. There's a saying that goes something like... "Share Jesus with others and if you need to, use words." But wheres the part where we go beyond words to explain why our lives are different? Is the whole concept of "actions speak louder than words" a copout in some ways because we're scared to talk to our friends about Jesus? Thoughts?

Hey Jenn, You know my heart is in the same place as we have talked about something like this before. I agree with you. I just finished my Theology of the Spirit Life class, and we talked often about how the Church is weakening by a number of different reason. I think Jenn that in today’s day and age we find ourselves wanting to please other people and not offend them... so we don’t share about God because its offensive to some. But we need to remember that the Truth is Offensive, meaning it’s hard to hear and we don’t want to hear it or even believe it. Hmm I am thinking about the day of Pentecost... look at Paul he was filled with power and him and the others couldn’t help but speak about God... with boldness. Man Jenn, I know I want to be bolder that I could speak the truth and not care what others thought even if they take offensive to the word of God. Church is being fooled and the enemy is sneaking into Church to bring us down from within... but here I go onto my soapbox, I think I will save this for my blog. Love ya girl and keep this burden close to your heart and challenge others to speak hmmm the early church was motivated to share the Gospel for 3 reasons, 1 love, 2 the Holy Spirit and 3 the confidence of Christ return. Christ's return is nearing... Will God need to use another donkey, sinner, or rocks to cry out?

The Enemy is seeking to bring the Church down from within... what a bold statement, like how dare I say that the enemy is inside our Church and that we are letting him work at getting us to fall. BUT we are. Take a look around, see where the church has gone and is going.... are they not coming out with new bibles that have no gender and make God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit an It? Are we not compromising the beliefs in our churches? Are we not watering down messages and the Scriptures? Are we not settling for 2nd best? Taking the road of easiness instead of the road God wants us to take… the road that is hard, that is dangerous, and that will lead to cretin death. Being a true Christian is going to be work, none of this, live life with tons of blessing that the church has been saying for far to long. We need to step out in faith, become who God has created us to become, fight the enemy that’s sneaked its way into the church and preach the gospel no matter who it offends.

And God Speaks

My Feisty and aggressive daughter,
Your like a praying mantis, you sit there and you wait and wait and you ask when can I strike, your sitting there waiting to strike the enemy, He says wait there is a structure, be patient and I will make you more powerful, and then you can tear them limb from limb. This is a time to be equipped. You will be suttel and you will blend in but God wants to use you a lot more and make you more powerful. You will be quite but deadly.

He knows and He sees your heart for the church, He knows that your tired of seeing the church lie dormant but wait and your going to see a change, He’s going to use you to help bring about change. But your trying to do it of self, but you cant do it of self you need His help and He will help you and change is coming, you need to know your stuff first before you can do anything. In Time.
You have been tested and found faithful; when you speak they will listen.
Wow, I have been done my Holy Spirit class for a week now and do I ever miss our teacher, He is an awesome man of God. Wow the power this man holds in the Spirit Realm is amazing. He’s spoken into our lives so many times in the few short days we had with him in class.

God wants you to fight, put on the boxing gloves. Its time to fight. You want people to lay hands on you and confirm your anointing. Stop. You don’t need that God has already told you. Stop trying to get God to yell at you. Lay hands on yourself. The oil is pouring over you, over you, over you.

You are Full of the Holy Spirit and the Anointing; it’s dripping off of you.

You are in full armour with a shield and spear in the armour of God. You are like the size of Giloth in the Spiritual Realm. You will fight in the front lines of the battle.

You know you are a watchman.

These are some of the things that have been spoken over me and prophesied over me. Wow just writing them out is wow. God is so good and yeah this is my God Boot Camp. He is training me up in all the gifts and jobs He has given to me and equipping me in the weapons of my trade
