Freedom is a great thing. But what happens when you have a situation where you have total freedom with out controls then what do you have chaos. In the beginning there was chaos and God spoke to it and created everything. Total freedom with out oversight is casting off all restraint. God is a God of order not disorder. If you catch yourself talking how you do not want to be part of this church or group because they do not have freedom or it is because you do not want the restraint and oversight? Casting off all restraint is rebellion which is witchcraft. It is funny religion is a bondage well so it total freedom. We need God to be in the middle to moderate. Amen.

I am not ashamed
I had a situation the other day where I was asked my opinion on something. Well I was not for it and the attack that I had on the web you would have thought I was a criminal:). Well Jesus said not to be amazed that the world hates us for they hated him first. I know it was God since I did not answer with what I thought but what the word of God said and I was a hater and evil he he. This says it:
I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Christ. I will not look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight-walking, small planning, colorless dreams, tame visions, worldly talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions or popularity. I do not need to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor by power.My face is set, my gait is fast, and my goal is heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot by bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face or sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won’t give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up and stayed up for the cause of Christ.I am a disciple of Christ. I will go until He comes, give until I drop, preach all I know and work until He stops me. And when He comes, He comes to claim His own. He will have no problem recognizing me for my colors are clear. I AM A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST.

Its the follow thru
No matter what you do for God good intentions are not enough. Growing up I played a lot of golf. Well I learned one thing and that is to play correctly you have to keep your eye on the ball and then follow through. Too many in the body of Christ start fast but stop too soon as soon as the going got tough. We are admonished to run the race and finish. Back to Golf, if you pull your head up or do not follow through you will pull the ball or lose it and be out of the game. Keep you eye on the ball and remember to follow through. See you at the 19th hole.:)

through the storm
Today was a great day at church. Pastor gave a great word on being adrift on the sea and that is the wrong time to cut bait and run. Well God showed me something as I was praying for people. If you are going through a dark storm and you can not see the stars or the sea, grab the hem of Jesus garment and he will guide you though it.
