Tell His Church (That Jesus Lives)

I've been at the Generation conferance for two days, plus a pre-conferance meeting on Thursday, and God's been doing amazing things. First of all, as I have been going to the conferance either right after or the morning after I post my blog, the speakers have all been teaching on the exact same things that God has been talking to me about, and that I have been posting before they are spoken of at GC (Generation Conference). That has been just one more bit of proof that I am in God's will by creating the blog, and that I have been benifiting from it. Anyway, one of the songs that we have been singing at GC is about telling the world that Jesus Lives, and something that Jesus seemed to be showing me was that before we show the World that, we need to Show God's People that He Lives. I know it seems strange, if we are already Christians, why do we need to know that Jesus lives? I have come to the firm belief that most "Christians" do not really believe it. The Bible says that, "God is not mocked" (Galatians 6:7 ASV), and how many times are there people who say that they "Love God" and will "Follow Him" and never even try. Two days ago John Bevere spoke on doing God's will, and he quoted a verse of scripture that I had always just looked over. He said, "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 who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt 7:21-23 ASV) Jesus said In As Many Words that those who do not DO the will of the Father will not enter into Heaven. That message is something very controversial. My suggestion is that you who read this would research for yourself the original meanings of the words that Jesus used, and see if they match up. Either way, Jesus also says that is we love Him that we will obey Him (John 14:15). I know that we all have fallen, and that many of us will most likely fall again, but we must make every effort to obey God, not because of any promises or threats, but because we love God more than entertainment itself! My biggest problem is that I am a Gamer, a big-time Gamer. I do not play games that are innappropriate, but the sheer amount of time that I am tempted to spend on games is wrong, it is in fact a sin. I could tell myself, "Self, you will get a greater reward in Heaven if you spend more time with God now," but that would be wrong in itself. I have spent much less time on games becuase I Love My Jesus! If I ever begin to do that for any other reason, I have lost my true love of God. God is not looking for people who will just give up their lives for Jesus, that is something that many Christians could do. Neither is God looking for people who will only live for God in the world, although that is difficult. God is searching for people who will offer themselves as living sacrifices, people who will not only be ready to die for Jesus, or be ready to life where God and the World are in black and white, but also to live in the lukewarm church of today, and Stay Hot For God! Those are the servants that We must be! We are the generation who have to draw the line. Many of us are first-generation Christians, we must create Godly traditions in our homes, many of us have not seen "The Line" that says what is of God, and what is not. We must learn who our Liege is, and we must NEVER leave our love. And if we do, we need Christian Brothers AND Sisters to turn to for support. May we be those Christians who will never turn away from a fellow Christian, or one who is not saved, in need. We are God's mouth to the world. We are God's face. May we prove ourselves to be worthy of that call.

Mating with the World

I was having my prayer time this morning, when God showed me something from an interesting perspective. Right now I am not in Greendale, (which is a suburb of Abingdon, Virginia) which is where I live, instead I am in Washington State for a youth conferance. I am staying a my best friend's house, and getting more sleep than I knew existed. Anyway, as I was having my prayer time, my Liege (what I call the Lord[ the term 'Lord' is a derivative from 'Liege-Lord,' which is an old military term ]) showed me once again what the church, his bride, is like in this age. Tim's dog's name is Comet, and she is (I hope) going through heat right now, and she is trying to mate with anything that moves, and some things that don't. She's trying to mate with her blanket, bedposts, basically anything that there is that she thinks might be able to mate. Well, that wasn't much of a problem, until she started jumping on me. As I'm just sitting and praying, here comes Comet, latching on to me with her paws, trying to mate with me. Needless to say, everytime I threw her off, she just thought that it was so fun that I was playing with her, that she came back for more. Finally she got bored and went off to look for something else to play with. As I got back to praying, My Liege said, "That's my church." It took a little while to sink in, but Comet had been the prime example of what the church is like today. We flirt with the world so much, and when the world flirts back, we have no resistance, and very few of us even want to resist at all. His Bride is so enthralled by the world, that we have no time for our Fiancée, who loves us greater than any love that can be expressed. We are adulterers, we Christians are mostly people who have pledged our love to God, and then gone to bed with the world. Some of us have believed that we are better because we just look at the world, and stay away from most of it, except those parts that "Aren't really that bad," but we don't spend quality time alone with Our Love. If we claim to really love God, how can we stand to see and live with the world that is so careless with our God, and how can we stand to not care for them. There is a song that I both love and hate, the chorus goes... Do you feel their pain, has it touched your life Can you taste the salt in the tears they cry Will you love them more than the hate that's been Will you love them back to life again? We must love Our Liege so much that we are separate enough from the world so that we can love enough to bring them to our God, and finally say like Paul did in 1 Corinthians 11:1(NKJ), "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." Lord, may we all be able to say that soon! Livin' For Christ,

This was taken from my recent post as Eagle on:
The Rebel Planet's Message Board. You know, we really need a huge change in what is available for people, not just in entertainment and religion, but in life. I have been given the opportunity to be in Redmond, Washington (Right across from Kirkland) for a convention called Generation (Church) Conferance, I have been looking forward to this for a while, I'll get to see some old friends, and "put the squeeze" on the people who bought our old house in Tacoma (Parkland, actually[to any who might care]). After the Acquire The Fire conferance, and now in preparation for Gen. Conferance, I have been immersed in the Word and prayer, and the things that I had begun to take for granted are starting to disgust me again. So much that is our way of life, no matter where we live, is so completely un-Godly that it's difficult to grasp. A guy named John Bevere came to The City Church down in Washington and spoke on Living our lives like a real Christian. If any of you went to Acquire The Fire, you know how close that message was to Pastor Bevere's. Maybe if we can learn to Keep It Real, and show it to others, we wouldn't need to even worry about the world's options, because after seeing our God work through us, this world would never be the same. The Bible says that when a thief is caught, he must pay back seven times what he has stolen. The Bible also says that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Well all, the thief has been caught in many people's lives, now we must show others where he is hiding, and demand that seven times what was taken. That my friends (in response to Blinked?'s post on the Rebel Planet Message Board ) is when we will see another "Great Awakening" sweep the nation. Will it be the last or will we have more trials to face before we all see God? That my friends, is for the people who care more about religion than relationship to scream and shout about. Sure it's fun to talk about it, but come on people, let's drop that for a while and just rock this world for Jesus, or as an old Friend/Youth Pastor used to say, "Let's Raise Hell and Kill It!" -Keepin' it Real - Eagle

Hello All

Hey all, I have just came back from a youth conferance called Acquire The Fire and have found a home. I am a Christian, and I love my Jesus with everything in me, but I have not always done so. Most of my life I have been a Christian, but not all of it has been devoted to my God. This blog will be my story. I hope to update this at least twice a week as a way to let people see my life, and maybe be encouraged, maybe see that there is something more, that there is a way other than the way the world teaches, and that that way is passable. I got this idea from Acquire the Fire , at the conferance was a drama about a young man who published a blog about his Life As He Sees It. His blog is mostly fiction, based on fact. This blog will be fact, completely fact, and nothing but fact. This is my continuing story, how I "Keep It Real", and how I learn to be a Christian who is not ashamed of how he lives his life. My friends, this is my story,
