BUILDING blogs of FAITH

 


The LORD JESUS said:

John 7:38

King James Version

38 He that believeth on me, 

as the scripture hath said, 

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.


I am not meant to build physical structures.

I am meant to build blogs honoring GOD.

That's what GOD made me for.


I was made to take up Architecture.

My heart was in words.

GOD had the final say.

His WORD.


I searched everywhere.

Looking for absolute truth.

Not realizing, GOD was in my heart.

All that lengthy, arduous time.


Took me a long time to come around.

But GOD's got patience.

He's got eternity.

I don't.


Grieve not,

that it took you a long time to know GOD.

Grieve,

when you don't seek Him at all.


What were you made to do on this earth?

Keep seeking.

Keep searching.

Keep praying.

Wait, watch, listen.

You will have your answers.

GOD hears the faithful.


Just when you think GOD isn't there.

Oh, He's very much there!

Waiting for your call.

From a humbled heart.

From a grieving heart.

From a lost heart.

From a defeated heart.

Even from an angry heart.


GOD has no use for pride.

Leave it outside your door.

Better yet, throw it into the ocean,

and have the sharks gobble it up.

Like eats like.


We started knowing nothing.

Through JESUS,

we learn everything.


Why remain hard-hearted?

Your heart of flesh

needs the HEART of GOD.


All we know on this earth

is as nothing

compared to what JESUS knows.


Who do you listen to?

What is the company you keep?

Are they good for you?

Are you good for them?

Or are you all bent on destruction?


JESUS loves children

because they are pure, teachable,

joyful, open-hearted, fun, trusting.

Adults are a different story.


The word "adulterated"

isn't by chance.

It has the word "adult" in it.


The secret of GOD?

In every word.


There is a real battle going on.

GOD's pure WORD,

versus the enemy's corrupted words.


It isn't hard to tell them apart.

One makes us live.

One makes us die.


When you think you know much.

You probably don't know much at all.


A born again doesn't expect worldly freedom.

This fallen world won't offer you that.

Only through GOD's SPIRIT 

do we have true liberty.


The world as we know it,

doesn't know GOD.

The world to come?

It's all GOD.


This world can't offer you,

anything of lasting value.

Only GOD can.


When GOD makes you born again,

the learning sticks.

You will be forever changed.


When the world makes you born again,

you will still be subject

to man's fallenness.


The day you acknowledge your sins,

is the day GOD will show up.


The day you acknowledge your ignorance,

is the day GOD will teach you.


The day you thank the LORD each day,

is the day GOD blesses you even more.


Authenticity.

That's what my soul searched for.

For the longest time.

Now, I'm no longer lost.

I live, and breathe GOD.


The enemy of CHRIST

is a pretender.

He pretends to have a throne.

Or, at least, aspires to have one.

Only GOD has a throne.

Slow learner, that one.


When you are truly GOD's own,

your work will change.

You will change.

You will take that 180-degree turn.

And never look back.


By never looking back,

we mean that you won't want your old ways.

Who wants to put on old clothes,

when JESUS gave you new ones to wear?

You are a new person in CHRIST, remember?


Working for JESUS

is the most sublime work.

Every day is full of surprises.

Tons to do.

But there's nothing like it.


Who would have thought 

I'd be writing this way?

Who would have thought

I'd be teaching this way?

Only GOD did.


Come down from your towers.

Come down from your lofty abodes.

Those won't last.

Only JESUS does.


Do you care to be popular?

Or would you rather

your heart is right with GOD?


Do you care to be rich?

Or would you rather

see the mansion JESUS saved for you?


What citizenship do we speak of?

Believers are citizens of heaven, 

not of this earth.


Does it matter you are not liked?

Does it matter you are not loved?

Does it matter you are not accepted?

The world doesn't care

for those who love JESUS.

Accept that.


Aspire?

Or expire?

The choice is easy.


Every blog,

every post,

came from JESUS.

They were my

building blogs of faith!
