First Day Back

It was good night rest but.  I cant help to think about the 9 homless children that are laying thier head down on their bed with no clothing, no food, no sanitary items.  I am not worthy to have the things that I have.  I am not worthy to go home to a family when there are 28 children in this orphanage that their parents abandoned them.  It is not right. I am a babbling idiot.  My heart is full of Gods love for people but yet there is an emptiness inside me as if I have lost my family.  The truth is I wanted to turn back once I hit customs in Houston.  America is so full of hate it broke my heart coming back...  The people and especially the kids of Guatemala will always have a special place in my heart...  What an impact that was made for the kingdom of God!  The bible says These things I command you, that ye love one another.  John 15:17.   Imagine the impact if everyone would take the time to love someone else.  God is the only one that can provide that Love and if you dont have the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart then you are lacking something that you cannot give.  If you are not saved and you dont have the assurance that if you were to die today and spend eternity in heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ, the bible says that you are separated from him and will spend an eternity in hell.  God does not want you to go to hell.  He loves you and sent his Son to this earth and died on the Cross sinless. so we could have a path to Heaven through Him.

Its The End... Or Is It?

So we are leaving for home with less clothing that when we came with.  Today we found out that the orphans had not clothes no food.  Which explained why every time at lunch the kids were so hungary.  We all pooled together and gave money and our own clothing to be given to the orphanage.The impact on these childrens lives will last for all of eternity!   Not only that it impacted the families of those children.  I gave a stickerbook to both Jeanette and Luis at the closing and had Kevin one of the translators put a message on the back that says I love you and will be praying for you. We handed out the clean heart Gospel Tract and Jeanette proceded to write something on the slate and handed it to me.  The translator then said it said I love you too and will be praying for you also. 

I feel like I have lost my entire family.  Here it is midnight and it is now Saturday.  We will soon be checking out of our rooms and will be on our way back.  My life and what I encountered this past week will never be the same and it will take many months to translate all that has happened over the past week.  A lot of tears have been shed today.  Tears of joy, tears of sadness.  Cannot wait to share with others what God has shown me.  My compassion for people has been elevated far more that I have ever knew.

God even allowed me to minister to a Christian family last night as well.  More to come.


See you soon!

Last Day

I cannot believe all the things that I have experience in these past 6 days. God calls me to a city that is over 3000 miles to wake me up.  Which explains why God has been hammering me with waking up all this week.  I am now paying for Gods will in my family since I commited to full time ministry   on Ocober 23rd of this year.  My emotions and the experiences will always be ingrained in my heart and mind for the rest of my life.  Its not about me its about His kingdom and His glory.  This will be the hardest day of my life as I have a close relationship with each child in my group and at 1200pm today will be saying my goodbyes and tears are going to be flowing like rivers...

Drained...

Words cannot explain what happened today.  I had the opportunity to lead two people to Christ and after the second one I could not witness any more.  I was done.  I found a spot in the area and just sobbed.  God used me in an incredible way today that completely broke.  I spewed my emotions to my translator Gabriel and how much God has changed the way I view people.  Gabriel turns around and tells me its not about us! 

The second person that God put in my path was a mother of a child and I witnessed to her for 20+ minutes.  And she stated she didnt want to recieve Christ because her brother was killed as a youth pastor and I continued to talk to her and she then wanted to recieve him.  As we bowed our head she began to sob and I followed.  Crying like a little baby.   This experience impacted me so much I gave her a hug with her child.
God then moved me to children around the movie.  I sat right in front of the movie and the next thing I know I have about 15 children of various ages around me and loved on them.  One of which was cold even with there jacket on and I motioned her to come and sit close so she moved back and I wrapped my arms around her and she sat there the whole time.  After the movie and preaching 8 of those children prayed to recieve Christ.

I am not looking forward to tomorrow.  I know I am going to be a absoluted wreck.  I have two families now. 

I Will Miss My Kids.

Last night I was thinking about my kids and my family at home.  I must say I am torn between them both.  Both I love very very much and yet both are separated by several thousand miles of space.  Last night I posted that I was out of emotion but then it hit me in the face.  I will not be seeing these kids again after Friday!!!   I have never cried this hard before in my life!  Even as I sit here this morning tears are rolling down my face!  God has split my heart wide open!  God has definately opened me up and gave me His eyes towards people!!  There is such an overwelming sence of Love that floods my heart!  This trip will always be a cornerstone in my life.One that will always remind me of how huge Gods love is for people!  I miss you guys back at home!  I truely wish that you were experiencing all the emotions and excitement with this trip!!  If I would have know ahead of time that this was going to happen to me I would still do it!  There is nothing more that I would love to do FULL TIME is ministry!  I dont want my desires.  I want HIS! 

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1 Peter 3:8-18 (KJV)

Another Fruitful Day!

Te Hecha Menos! The Lord continues to work in my life in many different ways. This morning’s VBS was crazy hair day and there were many silly hair styles. I wore my wig from Halloween and the kids thought it was hilarious. God showed me that even having communication problem that God can still use it. I continue to minister to these 8 year old children and in fact 2 of them received Christ today after going over the path of salvation with the Evange-Cube. One of my kids that is learning English told me today that she loved me in my language. As the week grows short I definitely know that the valley is coming here in two days. I am all emotioned out and I don’t think I can cry another tear. Leaving Guatemala after spending my week serving and doing Gods work is going to be very emotional and very draining. I don’t believe that Friday I will be able to hold it together. Friday is the last time I will see my kids and I will not be able to see them until who knows when. I truly wish I had enough money that I could visit here more often for Nelson. I know that God will provide a way if it is His will.. This evening in evangelism The first person I hit was a Jehovah Witness and she was 48 and trying to suck all the time out of me and my translators. In fact God sent me to nothing but kids! There is so much I have left out because I want to save some of the testimonies to share directly with everyone and my family.




I never want this week to end… I could do this every day seven days a week and never get tired. I have some Spanish cds at home that I will most definitely complete I hope in the next year or six months from now.



People are getting better from the sickness and I believe that was done through the many prayers from First Bible Baptist. We love you guys and hope and pray that everyone there is doing ok!



In Christ.

I believe we will never be the same again!

Every person on this team has been impacted by Gods power in some way. I cannot speak for everyone but from tonight's get together Many hearts have been cracked open, wide open. Today I took the opportunity to jump in the inflatable with my eleven 8 year olds (lost one gained two). I was worn out and my kids loved it!!! I had a blast. I took the opportunity to learn the spanish phrase "I miss you" (te hecho menos). I used it this morning and it brought smiles to the kids and they gave hugs. I ran in to a guideons bible member and he handed me 30 spanish bibles. I then passed those bibles on to my kids and signed them. I have been learning a lot about these kids and their names and creating a relationship with these kids. I have also found out that there are nine children in our VBS group that are homeless to include Jeanette and Louis. After the VBS was over and we were cleaning up I was broken and crying. I had one of the interpraters who is 15 years old walk up to me and ask me if I wanted to pray for Jeanette. That was just one more thing to add to my emotional super highway. I dropped to my knees right there pouring my heart out for these children.

God has put a lot of people in my life from other states and even countries here. They will always have a special place in my heart. If I was single I would not be returning home.

I have a new prayer request and that request is that my heart for people is not destroyed when I return that the valley never comes and that my desire for people never dies.

Its not about me......

The Enemy Attacks But God Prevails!

First of all thak for the prayers for no rain. It only sprinkled and the sun was out part of the time as well. God does answer prayer! What an absolutely AWESOME time I had with VBS. 130 kids. I was assigned the 8 year old kids. So precious, so sweet it wasn’t even 5 minutes and one of the children (Jeanette) clinged to me and loved on me the whole time. Jeanette had a pressure bandage on her head covering severe burns on her mouth. She melted my heart! Then there was Louise. He enjoyed being around me and followed me around where ever I sat. During the latter part of the day we were doing the lesson and I had both Jeanette on the right and Louise on the left and had my arms around them both. When the teachers asked for prayer I specifically requested prayer for Jeanette. We prayed together still holding those children in my arms. Jeanette had her head on my leg as we were praying. Then throughout the day sat with them and helped them to read their memory verse in English.

The enemy has been fighting us all evening today. I sowed seed after seed but it was as if there was no response for decision. We got booted out of a neighborhood within less than an hour. Moved to a more open neighborhood and were running in to witches, Jehovah Witnesses and others. The first person I approached responded with a works response but no matter how much I pleaded with this person (George) he did not want to get saved because he wanted to head to church and bring a friend with him. That happened right before we got booted out. We moved to the other neighborhood and the first person I hit there says “I don’t believe in the bible” It threw me off. But I continued to witness. Mitch had the opportunity to lead 3 young people to the Lord at the last little part. And they are pursuing discipleahip as well.

More to come!

The Emotional Rollercoaster

If I would write everything that happend today to me, it would be a small novell. I have fallen in love with the people of Guatemala and from this point forward they will always have a special place in my heart. Where to start. Woke up this morning at 5:45am after a 4 hour sleep and was ready to go had a wonderful authentic breakfast and tried fried plantains and absolutely loved them. Black beans with cream and home made tortillas that are much lighter that those from the US. They are made out of corn here. After breakfast We ran in to a policeman that had an UZI machine gun strapped to his body. Rob got permission to get a picture of him and Van proceeded to share the Gospel with him and he got saved. You should have been there to see the countenance change and a smile of being saved. I was glad I was wearing my sun glasses becuase I was crying like a little baby over his decission. Church was awesome! The music sang was God Of This City, I Can Only Imagine, and more, playing back all the things that have been happening in the past several weeks until now tears flowing like rivers down my face praising the Lord with a heart felt attitude. After that there was about 30 minutes or so of fellowship as I took the opportunity to meet the people of the church and hand stickers out to the kids and using optical illusions on them that totally captivated them.

Then there was Lunch and God gave me the opportunity to share the Gospel and lead a lost soul to the Lord and at the end I told him to take that Gospel tract and share it with someone else and tell them what had just happened. I went and sat down and he had walked away finished lunch and Victor returned with a buddy and he had given him the tract and Jim Lewis then proceded to lead him buddy to Christ. Then they asked for more of the tracts so they could pass them on to more of their friends. Another tract was handed out to another individual and Bob had the opportunity to lead them to Christ. The sad thing was he was a father of 4 and he was homeless with his kids. It broke my heart!!!

There are many more thigs that have happened in today it will have to wait to be told there in person.

God is answering prayer. As I have requested I wanted to get God's eyes and He is answering it! I cant help to think about that were lead to the Lord how the Gospel message is spreading like wildfire from one person to the next.

Today Nelson wanted to see a goal of 5 families discipled. From what I understand there were 4 families.

Until next time.

In the darkness holding up the Light!

Touch Down 2:25PM

Guatemala! I am still beside myself and cannot believe I am here! Praise the Lord EVERYTHING made it here and we had not one issue with luggage or customs! As we were approaching the landing I was able to see out the window and all the architecture. I wish you could have seen the buildings. The houses were so close together you could reach out and shake your nieghbors hand. Everything is old and run down but beautiful. Our first night was great God worked in a lot of peoples lives here and Jim Lewis lead someone to the Lord for the first time ever. I myself had the opportunity to council an 84 year old lady that made a confession after viewing the Jesus Film. Mitch has been the recording guru from the time we left KC to now and as I type this they are downloading all the video footage. Wife you would not like the bus rides it was very very close and crowded. Luggage packed to the ceiling and every single seat on the vehicle filled. On the way to the Evangelism site. Bryon was packed in with a bunch of youth in the back of a pickup then Randy jumps in on top of Bryon and looks like he was sitting on Bryons lap. A lot of pictures were taken. I was with Gene Johnson and Crystal Sanchez and our interpriter was an 18 year old named Gabriel who was saved at 6 years old and is now trying to start a business creating Laptop covers/bags for laptops. The nieghborhood we were in was in a richer part of the nieghborhood but it was all walled up so you cant approach the homes front door. Most of the people we talked to spoke english, and very good at that, but they chose to speak in their native toungue.

God has fired me up and I would rather go out and share the gospel with everyone I come in contact. In fact I have been making every effort to hand out Gospel tracts to everyone I run in to. If sleep was an option I would not be sleeping! We had Pizza Hut for dinner tonight because of how late it was and we gathered around in the Lobby to share what God had showed us and prayed for several of those that were encountered.
I was able to hand out a few stickers to some kids and share the Gospel with their parents.

Pictures are coming. Videos are coming. Just keep an eye on the facebook page!

God keeps taking me back to Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

I personally dont want this week to ever end. I am so on fire for the people here. I could do this day in and day out.

HERE AM I LORD. SEND ME!

12 hours

Wow hard to believe I will be leaving in about 12 hours for a foriegn country for the first time ever! I know the nervousness is there but God is giving me peace that surpasses all understanding. I am honored and humbled and excited. I doubt that any sleep will come out of this evening. I will be waking up at 4am in the morning and loading the van and leaving promptly at 5am for the airport. We tried to get checked in on line but because of being in a group we have to check in at the airport directly. Satan has been trying everything in his power to attempt to hinder us from doing Gods mission, Gods will. I am sure he is not done yet. Please pray for all of us that the planes have no issues and there is no issues at the connecting flights and passports go well. In addition we are taking a tremendous ammount of extra luggage and pray that all of the items in those bags makes it as well as our own luggage. This will probably be my last entry till tomorrow evening I may be able to get an entry in at the airports.

Till next time.

Faith

One of the main things I believe that God is teaching me here is faith in him. Faith that can move mountains. As Saturday draws near I am finding myself being flooded with fear with anxiety. Not in a bad way but in a good way. I am finding myself consistantly thinking about the people of Guatemala. I am excited and honored to be used of God to share the Gospel to people in a foriegn country and from what I have been told that they are very receptive to. For the first two days there even from the very first day we arrive and check in to the hotel. We will be hitting the streets and nieghborhoods running! Setting up for the Jesus film and preaching the gospel and sharing Christ with anyone who will listen. There is nothing more for this next week I would like to do. In fact I wish it was on a permanent basis. I cannot believe I feel this way and I have not even boarded the plane yet!

This week God has completely put me on my face and I may be doing things working eating and talking to people but inside I am praying God give me your eyes and show me something in this trip that will completely change my life as if I was saved all over again. Change my view on people! Spark a fire in me that will never be quenched. Those of you that are around me have probably noticed day after day how I have changed. I seem to be more quiet and more focused. I seem to humbled more as well.


I pray that these seven days will provide me a clear path and understanding as to what God's plan is for my life. He has me right where he wants me.

I want to share with you one my all time favorite Christian songs called Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath. The lyrics are below and the song follows. Every time you hear this song on the radio I want you to pray for me that I get God's eyes.

Lyrics to Give Me Your Eyes :
Look down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos

All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what’s underneath

There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time

Pre Chorus / Chorus

I’ve been here a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you’ve seen the people all along

Chorus

WAKE UP!

What an incredible week it has been spending my quiet time with the Lord. I am now on Genesis 12 and God called Abram to move out of the country. My heart his becoming more and more focused not just on Guatemala but on people. I broke down yesterday as we were breaking out Romans 9 during mens bible study. God hit me with a huge brick and the question popped in to my head. Who am I that I should choose who goes to heaven or who goes to hell? If you are a Christian when was the last time that you asked someone the big question? If you were to die today do you have the assurance that you would spend and eternity in heaven? When was it that you asked that question? Was it today? Yesterday? Last week? Last year? NEVER? If so why have you not asked that question? Was it pride? Fear? Shame or just plain laziness. Romans 13:10 states And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. WAKE UP! We have people dying not only in Guatemala but here in the United States. People are passing through the gates of hell like water flowing over the edge of a cliff. Why? Because we will not do anything about it! People are getting closer and closer to the edge of death every second of every minute with not one person standing in the front of their path saying stop turn back you are heading for hell!

God is waking me up out of my slumber and there is not a second of the day that goes by that I dont think about the souls of people in my life that are headed to a Christless eternity called hell. I wake up with that thought and I lay my head down with that thought.

Two weekends ago right after I gave in to the Lord on my calling. God used the Chaplain in my unit to speak to me on Sunday. It was in Isaiah 6.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:5-8 (KJV)

God is calling you if you are a Christian. Whom shall I send? Who will go for us? Your response should be "Here am I; send me!"

2 days and a wakeup and I will be stepping foot on foriegn soil to preach the gospel. I am scared to death and I am excited at the same time. It is an honor and a privledge to do God's work! There is nothing more that I would want to do! Here am I Lord. Send ME!

One Week!

In one week as I write this post I will be in Guatemala preaching the Gospel and preparing for the VBS. As the days draw nearer I am finding myself getting more and more nervous. Not in a bad way but in a good way. If I am not nervous then I would not be doing it in the right mind. Those of you that read these posts, the last two I have posted I was wrestling with the Lord. I finally gave in the by Friday and was able to get some sleep finally that evening while I was on duty for the Reserves. I have been praying to God to change my view towards people and I ask those of you that follow this Blog to pray with me as well. God has something in store for my life in the future. What that is where I will go what I will be doing is still a mystery. I wait patiently for His answer and continue my weekly quiet time in the Word that I have been faithfully doing for the past several months. Thanks Pastor Rick for holding me accountable and showing me what I need to do.

God has put an individual in my life that has been dealing with many issues and I have had the honor to minister to him on a daily basis. Please pray for this individual that God will show himself to him.

I believe in my heart and have the peace that God wants me to start preparing to do His will. I truely believe that it is more than just my ministry to reach out to the military through Soldier4Christ.org. I believe it is much bigger than that. I feel like Abraham in the book of Genesis when God told him to go. The path is very hazey and is unclear and I continue to wait patiently for a clear open door of the path that He wants me to take.

I Am Still Wrestling!

I dont know why, how, who, what or when. All I know is God is telling me to wake up and that Salvation is nearer than ever before. I gave my future to the Lord a couple of years ago and now I am coming to the point of a descision. I dont have a clear path I dont know what to do. All I can do is sit and wait and get ready because I know that the day that God says move it is not going to be as subtle as it is now. I pray for guidance and direction Lord!

Wrestling With The Lord

I am currently wrestling with the Lord on a verse that has embedded in my head. For the past 3 weeka or so. Romans 13:11 And that knowing the time, that now it is high time to wake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. I am starting to be more tuned to the voices of others around me. Things I hear or see are starting to pierce my heart with sadness more and more. The mocking, the luke warm people, the false converts, those that believe their good works can get them to heaven when the bible clearly says that our works are as filthy rags in the site of a Holy and just God. Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Those that spew out the very depths of their heart at the very God that gave them life. It looks like God is beginning to give me what I asked for. The compassion and the desire to share with those that do not know the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

I am wrestling what what I believe God is asking me to do but the fear of the unknown overcomes me. I dont even feel I have the ability to shepherd or deal with people day in and day out at least on a full time basis anyways. I can handle Sundays, but every day?

As I sit here and write this blog there are people all over the world dying or have died already by the time I reach the end of this sentence. Dying with out the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Dying because they are too prideful and too arrogant to understand that they need a savior or spend and eternity in hell! People died without the saving knowledge of Christ because some of us Christians are too scared or even arrogant to share the Gospel and ask the simple question "If you were to die today do you know for sure that you would spend an eternity in heaven!"

Those of you reading this blog where do you stand? Are you someone like me wrestling with the fact the God has called you to sell out for the Lord?
Are you one of the ones that is on the side lines? Or are you completely lost and know that you will not spend an eternity in heaven?

The bible says that you can know without a shadow of doubt that if you were to die this very second you will spend an eternity in heaven.

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

The bible states in Ephesians 2:8-9 it states "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Salvation is a gift that only comes through the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ! Doesnt come by baptism, Doesnt come by good works, doesnt come by confession to man. It comes by repentence to God! There will be people that think they are doing the right thing by thinking their good outwieghs the bad and they will still be cast head long in to hell.

The bible in Matthew 7:21-23 says "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

With a heart felt attitude. Repent to God of your sins, Turn from them. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and believe that Jesus was God manifest in the Flesh and was on this earth and was crucified and on the thrid day rose again! Then ask Jesus to save you from an eternity in hell!

God is in the details

One of the things that Gos has been showing me since my last entry has been the details. In preparation for the missions trip coming up here in the near future. God works in those details that you forget to attend to. Even those details that have a huge effect on the main mission! Everything for the VBS is coming together and I still pray that God will change my entire viewpoint of people! I desire God's eyes! I have now doubt that God is preparing the harts of those that will be hearing the Gospel! The kids, the adults and even those of us that are prearing to go and do God's work. Not just stopping there but our families that will be left behind for that week. Our jobs, coworkers, airport personnel, translators, those that we encounter in transition! Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. The God of this universe is working even now to prepare each and every one of us that is going on this trip to experience GOD and radically change us.

He is in the details.

Suffering of the Christian

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
(Romans 8:18)

In my quiet time with the Lord God showed me something. Most people get a misrepresentation as a Christian that life should be all fun and games. This verse doesnt tell me that. "sufferings of this present time" Think about what Christ went through. All through the Gospels, Matthew Mark Luke and John and part of Acts Jesus did not have parties and fun and games and pure happiness. He was persecuted, mocked, made fun of, beaten, flogged, spit upon, rejected, ridiculed, crucified by His own people and last but not least sent to Hell for three days because He took on the sins of the whole world and became the perfect blood sacrifice just so those who believe might be saved from Hell!

The bible states that He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
(John 1:11)

Becoming a Christian is not fun and games. I look back at my life and see persecution, rejection, mockery, rejection even from friends and loved ones. I then turn around and look at what I have gained! I have not gained the world as the world is my enemy and is temperal and carnal. I have gained EVERLASTING LIFE and will be avoiding the deep dark place that burns with everlasting fire. A place that is VERY REAL called Hell. If that is what I have to go through in order to spend an eternity in Heaven with my Lord and Savior it is worth all the happiness in the world!

The dreaded debates and the New Age Versions!

God hit me with a ton of bricks tonight while reading the Word. Debating the trues of God that are not even worth debating because the Word of God stands up for itself! I can only pray that the Holy Spirit of God can convict those that don't see the truth as what it is. Right in front of their faces. It is sad that the ememy gets in between believers and breaks them apart. If we don't look for ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us we might as well be lost with those that do not believe that the Word of God is pure and preserved through the translation from the TEXTUS RECEPTUS. It is sad that there are believers out there that like to take short cuts in the Word of God and would rather choose a watered down version over a correct one and the watered down version is more difficult to comprehend than the true version. It does not make sense that even though those of the NIV translation stated that they made mistakes they still chose to use that version!

The signs of the times are coming to pass and the rapture will get here before you know it and the Tribulation will begin, the lost will be left behind and half way through the 7 years the enemy will sit down on the throne of the Tabernacle and will claim to be God! If you are not saved and you have never had a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ then you are bound by the enemy and are destined for hell. Jesus made salvation so simple a child could do it. All you have to do is repent of your sins to God and turn from them (dont go back) and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh and died for your sins and ask Jesus to save you from hell and come in to your heart and become the Lord of your life!

I did that on July 14th 2002 and I was radically changed! I no longer had the desire to use vain language, the attitude of racism, pro choice, and eventually God took the desire of alcohol away after about 3 months and many more things that I am not proud of doing. He then replaced that with His LOVE, something that man will never be able to produce!

Turn to Him. Submit to His authority of His Word and watch your life become more exciting than you have ever experienced!

My message for Guatemala open air preaching.

Can I take just a few moments of your time? I want to talk about death and the answer. The bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:1” To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Everything on this earth including our lives has a set time. Everyone here including myself will die. When that is we don’t know. It could be today, tomorrow, next year, 5 years or longer. There is nothing we can do about it we will die. Our own heartbeats are a drum beating to our own funeral march. The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27 “As it is appointed unto man once to die, after this the judgment” When we die we will stand before God. You say that’s cool I wonder what that will be like. The bible says in Ezekiel 18:20 “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” The reason why we die is because we have broken God’s commandments and we are not aware of it. Time is pushing us closer and closer to the edge of death every second of every minute. We will die and we will stand before a just holy God whom we have angered with our sin and headed for a Christless eternity called hell.
So let us compare our lives against the 10 commandments and see how we do. How many of you have told a lie? I know I have. What does that make us? A liar. Have you stolen anything doesn’t matter the size of the item. I have. That means we are thief. Have you ever used Gods name in vain? I know I have. The bible says in Exodus that “for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” What about murder? The Bible says in 1 John 3:15 “that whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer.” This is how God sees us. He sees us as a Lying, Thieving, Blasphemer, and murderer at heart and we have to face God on judgment day. Guilty as charged.
We will stand before a just, righteous, holy God that does not allow liars, thieves, blasphemers, and murderers in to His heaven and our soul will be cast in hell for eternity, but there is a solution to that! Over 2000 years ago Jesus, God manifest in the flesh was born of a virgin and died on the cross sinless for you and I so we don’t have to spend eternity in hell. The only way to heaven is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by repenting of your sins and turning from them and putting your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. No amount of works, money, baptisms, fastings or church attendance will get you to heaven. The bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 say for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, least any man should boast. You can change your destination. I cannot do it you have to do it yourself. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The Bible says in Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life. No man can come to the father but by me. In the Bible 2 Peter 3:9 says that the Lord is not willing that any should perish that all should come to repentance. Jesus Christ came to earth and died on the cross for you and me so we didn’t have to spend eternity in hell separated from a God that loves us so very much. You can change your path you can receive the free gift of everlasting life and you can know for sure that if you were to die this very instance that you would spend an eternity in Heaven. Just bow your heads with me and pray this simple prayer:
Lord I know that I am a sinner. I have lied. I have stolen, I have done everything there is to anger you. Forgive me of my sins. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for my sins. I ask you Jesus to come in to my heart and life and become the Lord of my life and change me into your image. I thank you for your gift of everlasting life, in Jesus precious name. Amen.

Preaching the Gospel. 1 Thess 1:5

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
(1 Thessalonians 1:5)

The preaching of the Gospel of Christ requires 3 things according to the Word of God in 1 Thess 1.

It requires the POWER of God!
It requires the PRESENCE of God!
It requires the PRESUMPTION of God!
It requires PRAYER to God!

The POWER of God!
In order to have the POWER of God you need to be saved by HIM!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.(John 3:16)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16)

The POWER of God will only appear to someone who is obedient to God
just as Christ was obedient!

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:7-8)

The PRESENCE of God
Be controlled of the Holy Spirit!
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled
with the Spirit; (Ephesians 5:18)

The PRESUMPTION of God!
Believe the bible in its entirety!
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any
private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20)

The PRAYER to God!
You cannot share the Gospel in the flesh. Flood it with prayer!
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

Men's Retreat.

I got back from the men's retreat today and there was so much Word of God preached I could be full for a century. There was so much discussed and preached on this weekend that I could not take it all in! God spoke to me about my future mission to preach the Gospel to the people of Guatemala.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16)

The phrase "wise as serpents" captured my thoughts last night. Most of the time the word serpent is correlated to satan. In this context however it is used in a positive context in this verse. Wen I go out to share the Gospel with the world I am going to be as a sheep amongst the wolves. But be wise as serpents. I thought about it for some time and asked several people about it. Then was told that a serpent would wait before it strikes its prey. It waits for that right moment. As Christians we are to wait for that moment that God opens that door for the opportunity to share the Gospel.

Till next time!

Evangelism Mode!

I have had a lot of time during my run to think about things as the days grow closer to November 7th and my trip to Guatemala. My heart grows soft and the desire to kick back in to Evangelism mode grows more and more. I will be truthful I have not shared the Gospel with anyone in a long time and that is starting to pearce my heart. The last meeting we attended this past Sunday God layed upon my heart Santa Caligon days in Independence. I pray that there will be a good turn out from the team to go out and practice and get a feel for what it will be like in the field. I know it will be completely different compared to here. But it needs to be done. I alone need to rebreak the barrier down to go out and boldly share the Gospel. After being out of it for some time (a long time) you have the tendency to build back up you comfort zone an end up getting back in the boat and float around aimlessly ignoring you surroundings and ignoring the still small voice that tells you go and talk to that person about me. Tell them Michael. Tell them that they will go to hell if they doing repent and ask forgiveness.

My prayer now more that ever is that God will dangle me over the very depths of Hell and motivate me to GO! Go and preach the Gospel and share Jesus with every person on the face of this earth.

Will you pray that for me? I know what I am asking. I need to be dangled over hell to be reminded of where I could have been. We need to be reminded of it every day!

We should question where our heart is if we have no compassion for the lost! We should get excited and concerned about it. Just as if their house was on fire and they were sound asleep inside. You wouldnt walk by somes house that is on fire and completely ignore it. We need to pound on the door and let them know in a loving way that they need Jesus Christ! You have no clue their day of death! It could be 5 minutes from now or 10 years from now! I myself am just as guilty as every one else I am ashamed of myself for not staying consistant and staying focused on the Lord Jesus Christ 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

The adventure continues

Meeting today at 1pm. We get to do our 10 minute presentation for our category. Mine is on Economics of Guatemala. Which was quite intresting. I misunderstood the person that requested the information so Instead of getting 50 various items of intrest in general I spent a lot of time getting items just related to economics, which goes to show you to listen. This brings me to a verse in the book of psalms.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
(Psa 46:10)

Being still is hard for some of us. We are too busy in our lives or our minds are so used to doing different things it forgets to slow down and relax. I have tried different ways to slow down and just listen. it is amazing what that does. Quiet time with the Lord in the morning for me is absolutely wonderful! If you have not tried it you should. Even if it means you need to get up a little early or go to bed a little later. Sit down and give God the worship he deserves. After all He gave you life so you could have it more abundantly!

A true friend...

In John Chapter 11 Lazurus a good friend of Jesus gets sick and dies. Jesus had such a strong relationship with him that He risked getting stoned again in Judaea. I dont think there is any other chapter in the bible where Jesus actually cried. His compassion for Lazurus and his family was very, very strong! Is that not true friendship or not!

God should me 4 things in this chapter on what a true friend is.

1. A true friend will put his or herself second and all others first!

2. A true friend will risk his or her self for the life of the other!

3. A true friend will have compassion for others!

4. A true friend will have a servants heart!

Think about how to be a true friend to others.

A new beginning....

I attened for the very first time children's church. And might I say that was most exciting time of my life. The whole time I could not stop smiling. These children were so inocent and not worried about who was around them praising the Lord a certain way. Dancing around with arms raised and yelling at the top of their lungs how much they loved the Lord. It is very sad to say that we as older Christians don't show that entheusiasm as the children do! Shame on US!


On another note. In John Chapter 10 God showed me something that I believe we all need to adhere to. Jesus was speaking a parable about the door of the sheep and one verse stuck out.

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
(Joh 10:3)

"he calleth his own sheep by name"

Jesus is saying that the relationship that we should have with believers is to know their names. How many times have you met new Christians and minutes later forget their name. I have had multitudes. The most recent one was yesterday morning. I was thinking about how I could remember their names better and I could look like a moron and write their names down in front of them. Or I could just sit down with them for 30 minutes or and hour to get to know them better! In a way just going up and introducing myself and sitting down reminds me of the Walmart greeter. We as Christians need to do better than Walmart and get to know these people and hopefully draw them back to a real church with real Jesus and the real Word of God!

What is the big picture?

John Chapter 9 talks about the blind man being healed. Everyone but Jesus accused this person of some sin that caused this person to be blind. God does judge us and allow things in our lives not to punish us but to teach us something that we fail to even see because we are so focused on the issue. God showed me that we as Christians need to step back and not react to the first thing that comes to our mind but to look at the big picture and ask ourselves this question.

What is God trying to teach me in this situation?

We need to react with a wise and biblical reaction in everything we do say or think. We need to stop and think!

Jesus said that a disability is not caused by sin but is created to be used of God for his honor and glory. Instead of focusing on the issue ask yourself how can I use this disability to bring Glory to God! So there is your answer for the question common question: "If God is so good and loves us then why did God make people in the world with blindness, deafness and other disabilities?

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
(John 9:1-3)


Bill Irwin and together with his Seeing-Eye Dog, Orient, hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in 1990. He is the only blind person who has ever hiked the entire 2,168 miles from Georgia to Maine. The significance of this feat is that without God's help it would have been impossible.

Planning and Preparation

Wow what a weekend. I am glad that God saw me through it all the way to last night. One thing that God has taught me was that if something needs to be done, for example a test in this case I need to prepare. This applies to projects that you are working on as well. I have been studying for the General Class License since the last weekend in June and it payed off. I passed. Then I decided to take the Extra and see how good I would do on it. 19 out of 50. God has taught me that in order to accomplish something I need to prepare for it. In this case I never once studied for the Extra exam and yet I could not pass it. Why? Because I did not take the time to study it and understand the contents. This goes hand in hand with the Word of God. How in the world can you grow and learn the very mind that died on the cross for the sins of the whole world including you, unless you study! Even after we have been saved for some time and have read through the bible 50,0000 times it still does not prepare us for what we will be facing. Not only as a saved person but the Lost as well. God doesnt want just our souls He wants all of us and the very essence of who we are and He wants to use us for His glory and honor!

Still Small Voice

God reminded me of something that happened a few weeks back that I still to this day kick myself for it. My wife and I were at the Quick Trip on South 7 and I was filling up the van. I observed a couple of young teens that were hanging out in front of the store. I recieved a still small voice to go and buy them a drink and to say something to them while I was filling up. I ignored it and continued filling as I watched the two boys one was pacing up and down the sidwalk and looking around and then I saw the young man open a case of Sprit and proceed to take a can open it up and walk away sipping it! I was struck with supprise. I then told the store what had happened and showed them the open case of soda. I felt so stupid. I should have listened to that still small voice and could have been able to share the Gospel with those boys and showed the Love of Jesus. There was nothing else I could do but just ask God for forgiveness and move forward. I told my wife what happened after she had saw the incident as well. She stated that God wants to go out of His way to keep us from sinning. It brings me to that verse in Peter.

(2Pe 3:9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Jesus will do anything and everything just so a lost person can find the forgivness and grace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The issue here is having the Laborers to do it. We are all guilty and one point or another where we do not listen to that Still Small Voice of God telling us, will you share my Son with that person?

Hit me with bricks!

John Chapter 4 showed me something that broke my heart! At one point in this Chapter Jesus sent the disciples off to get some food and they came back to him finding him ministering to a nobleman. The nobleman stated that he needed his son healed and Jesus told him he was healed. What struck me is that as Jesus was ministering to the nobleman the Disciples told Jesus he needed to eat. Jesus refused and continued to minister. I look back on the many times I chose to do something else instead of doing God's will. It broke my heart. Here Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the whole world including me and those that repent and ask Jesus in their heart can recieve eternal life and a ticket to heaven. I am one of them but the fact of the matter is I sometimes lose that site of what He did and what He wants me to do! That is horrible. As Paul would say oh wretched sinner that I am! I dont understand why we do the things we do and not put God first in EVERYTHING and every time we lay down our cares before the cross we pick them back up! Pastor said the problem with a living sacrifice is that it has the tendency to crawl off the altar! Oh how true that is! The wonderful thing is my God is a forgiving God and has unconditional love! Thankyou Jesus for hitting me with a brick! I need it every now and then. We as christians need it every now and then!

Blindness

I think about blindness. I know a few people through my Amateur Radio Club that are completely blind. The other day I saw a blind person tapping his way down the halls of the VA Hospital. In the bible Jesus talks about Spiritual blindness and associating that with darkeness as well. The definition of darkness is the absence of light. Those that are lost are blinded spiritually. They cannot see the kingdom of God. John chapter 3 Nicodemus was confused when Jesus told him Except a man be "born again" he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus though he had to be physically born again when Jesus was actually referring to a Spiritual birth. Jesus was patient with Nicodemus. How many times have we lost our patience with a lost person who is "blind"? I am guilty of it as well. You dont tell a blind person to watch where he is going if he accidently bumps in to you. The guy is blind! He cant help it. Today I asked God to remind me that those that dont have Jesus Christ in their lives are blind they dont understand why I am the way I am. They say bible is confusing and "full of false truths". Well duh, it is going to be because they have not recieved Gods teacher. The Holy Spirit.

America is so full of "stuff". We have all kinds of stuff we can do and it crouds our minds and takes us away from the sole reason why we are here. It clouds our minds and we loose track of who gave us life in the first place. Here we are we over schedule our lives with all these different things (Christians included) and we have absolutely no time to give back to God. Kids sports, work, hobbies of all sorts just to name a few. Sometimes we focus on our families first before we ever focus on God. How many times have we done that or are currently doing that. Christian God didnt put you on this earth to be "BUSY" God put you on this earth to show others the path of salvation. So look at your life are you willing to sacrifice that time you have to focus on God or are you going to continue to be disobedient to Him and put him on the back burner? With me I have an accountability partner that makes sure that I am doing the right thing by putting God first before anything else! I am so thankful I have that accountability partner to keep me in check with my Christian walk and even my daily readings! They have my permission to let me know what I need to fix or change. It keeps you from going blind. Maybe you need one too?

I am looking forward to Guatemala because they dont have the things or stuff that we have so they have to time to sit down and focus and listen to the Gospel. I continue to pray that God will change my very essence as Novemeber approaches. Change the way I see people and see Him!

THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE!

Hello again. One of the assignements that we are required to do is to read 1 Thessalonians completely till we leave. I have read it many times before but God stopped me today.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
(1Th 5:2-3)

He stopped me on the final few words at the end of 1 Thessalonians 5:3 and it says. "THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE" They who? Of course the church because in the very first Verse states:

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
(1Th 5:1)

That key word Brethren.

Something tells me that there is going to be believers out there that will be supprised when Christ comes back to claim His kingdom! The question is are you one of those? Do you watch for his coming? Do you even believe that His coming is near? Some of us are going to get suprised as some of us go about our daily routines and not even puting God first in their lives continuing in sinful acts of disobedience and using salvation as a ticket to sin! There is no escaping the fact that Jesus Christ will be coming! The question is what are you doing now this very moment? Reading this I know but what about afterwards?

Those of you that are not saved and have no idea what I am talking about let me give you an example. What happens with a thief in the night? He comes when you least expect it! You may be away from the house you may even be sleeping in your house or you may even be awake and the thief comes in. The next thing you know your most valued possessions are gone! The chances of getting them back are slim to none. Jesus Christ is coming for the Church! Not the building but the people! A human life is pretty valuable! They will disappear raptured out! Loved ones, Neighbors, Friends, coworkers. Some houses will be partially missing because that relative repented of their sins to GOD not man and asked them to come in to their heart and save them from hell. The rest will be "Left Behind" awating a distruction, a judgement and eternal pain and suffering. THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE! No place to hide no where to run.

Are you one of those?

Nothing but a God Thing

Today I woke up this morning at 430 to get back in the routine after being sick off and on over the past month and a half or more. The first thought on my mind was the people of Guatemala and how many people that God will allow us to lead to the kingdom. I went and worked out about 30 minutes or so and was thinking about the what if's, but they were good what if's. For instance what if on the last day of this missions trip I am able to lead the last person to the Lord and the rapture occurs? Imagine that! Sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.

I started to read the Book of John and God showed me just in the first chapter how he had a contageous spirit! Duh.... Jesus is God manifest in the flesh! What caught my eye was verse 50. Nathannel was supprised that Jesus knew him already and asked how? Look at verse 50 of John Chapter 1

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
(Joh 1:50)

He saw him under a Fig tree before he ever met him! But then the second half of that verse is absolutely amazing. "thou shalt see greater things than these."

Heaven is far beyond the human minds comprehension! I dont care how moch of a bible scholar or how smart you are. You may be the most smartest person in the world and you will by no means be able to comprehend Heaven!

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(Joh 1:4-5)

Jesus is the light of men He is the one that is going to decide wether you will be able to pass in to heaven! If you dont have his Holy Spirit and have not repented of your sins TO GOD NOT TO MAN you will not enter. You are darkened and need the light of Jesus to light your way. I was in those same shoes but I repented to God through prayer and asked Him to change my life and save me from Hell believing that Christ died on the cross for my sins! God turned the Light on and I was radically changed!

It was a God thing! Not anything that I did myself. My comprehesion of the Bible turned on and the indwelling Holy Spirit showed me things in His Word that only someone that has been saved can understand!

No Turning Back

I just made my deposit for the Guatemala missions trip scheduled for November 7th to the 14th. I am nervous and I am sure that I will become even more nervous as the day draws nigh. I have to raise over 1000 dollars over the next 3 months or so that only God can provide. This is my first expierience outside the military that I will be experiencing in a foriegn field! The mission is to share the Gospel by evangelism which means standing in front of crowds of people and preaching. This will be different compared to American way. Full of pride and self righteousness. I have preached on the streets of Kansas City and it is more dificult and Satan has domonation and control providing us with access to anything we want to try an satisfy the flesh! Everyone that has been on the foriegn field has stated that the people are so receptive to the Gospel and once they are saved they become hungry for the Word! It brings me back to the day that I was saved on July 14th 2002 and how hungry I was and still am for the sweet truths of God's Word.

Some people I have approached with the Word of God don't understand it and they find the Word to their eyes false fables. That is only because their eyes have a vail over them and they dont understand. The bible is TRUTH from cover to cover beginning to the end and there is not one word in it that is false! The bible says that they are blind. Not physical but spiritually!

(1Co 1:18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

(Joh 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


I am going to attempt to journal or blog my daily experiences with God from this point till I return from Guatemala! Wether that is a daily entry or every few days or weekly I do not know.

As a testamony of what is currently happening I have already seen God work since the day I committed myself to this trip back durning the missions conference. Several days after my commitment I recieved a letter from the VA stating that every disabled Vetran would recieve a one time $250 check in the mail. Our deposit was $200.00 Secondly today I should have been doing my military weekend and I would have missed my first meeting for the trip. God fixed that! He set it up so I spent my Friday with the VA Hospital and offset my drill days to Friday and Saturday just so I could attend the meeting today! Tell me thats coincidence? I dont thinks so!

If you are reading this today and you have not recieved Jesus Christ as your personal savior you can have this too! The bible says that without faith is is impossible to please God! It also states that For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph 2:8-9) You cant get to heaven by works by yourself or any other man you cant get to heaven by baptism going to church or by any ammount of things or money you have or even a communion! There is only ONE way to heaven and that is by REPENTING of your sins turning from them and asking God NOT MAN to forgive you and save you from those sins and ask Jesus to come in to your heart and life!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME. (Joh 14:6) That ME is Jesus Christ!
