the holy spirit, part 1

You are watching on your flat screen one of your recorded favorite shows - then it comes to commercial. You are about to hit the fast-forward button when up pops the commercial for "Geico". You stop the speeding commericals, hit resume and watch as a guy out mowing his lawn, goes into his garage, grabs a box and string and attempts to 'capture' the "Geico stack of money with rolling eyes". Dumb commercial, but gets our attention every time . . . . . .

The story moral: One cannot save any money with Geico until you reach out and grab the savings - capturing something right in front of you that is waiting for you, desiring to make a difference in your life.

. . . the Holy Spirit is the same way.

If you are a follower of Jesus and have committed your life totally to God, desiring to be a true disciple of Jesus and his teachings, then it IS the HOLY SPIRIT you need. He is the only one who will lead you forward in life. This is the most neglected and forgotton God, and yet it is He, only He, who teaches us all truth and leads us to righteousness (right standing before God).

We cannot just have some blind faith, and not be submitted to the Holy Spirit. Followers of Jesus have far too long left the Holy Spirit laying on the grass like the "Geico money stack", just sitting there watching us, but not involved - waiting for us to grab the box and string, capturing and bringing Him into our lives so that the 'real SAVINGS' can take place everyday.

carry the gospel

"the generation that the world and the enemy has termed, 'X' is the generation which will surpass the previous generation in extreme passion for Christ and carrying the gospel forward." ~ carl anderson (http://www.borntoblaze.org/)

discernment

The first rule of holes:

When you are in one, stop digging.

Uncertainty

A person's life does not require some extraordinary event to distinguish it. A life well lived can be equally inspiring and its contribution also great. Sometimes that transformation is best seen through failure, defeat or even death. Other times the miracle is wrapped around how God comes through in the midst of all that uncertainty.

speak life, part duex . . . .

The human tongue is not a mere organ. It is an agent of change. Change for good or for bad. When we use our tongue to glorify evil or question that which is good, our tongue becomes an agent that spreads evil and that entice people into evil.

When we use our tongue to share gossip, especially the ones related to sexual violations, in a juicy manner instead of horror, our tongue seduces the listeners -- especially the tender ones in our care -- to look for sin, albeit forbidden.

We need to employ this agent of change in such a manner that the sacred is not profaned, and that which is profane is never elevated to the level of the sacred. Then we would have mastered this agent of change. - Dr. Johnson C. Philip

champion the cause . . . . while there is time

What are your Dreams? What gets the motivational-engine inside of your going? The body of Christ at large and on the local scene is needing those who still dream big enough, those who are willing to 'step out of the boat' and take a risk, someone who is champion enough to take that 'leap of faith' out over the cliff in order to find the hidden pathway. Are there those peeking from inside the bushes who will take the life-changing gospel of Jesus, and like William Wallace (Braveheart movie), stand up and be counted. There is time. Time for each of us to walk the path that Jesus has set before us - to live a life that is gospel-worthy - making the most of every opportunity.


Is this YOU?


Will you champion the cause of the gospel? There is still time.
