Take a listen and tell me what you think..
Today a spent a good amount of time watching various clips from the infamous youtube. I browsed such celeberites as Lady Gaga , Justin Bieber, Ellen and Rob Bell… The list goes on really. I took a lot of time today and watched the ever popular Glee, Modern Family. And the end of watching hours of media…. I feel inspired,puzzled,confused and hopeful. inuzedful = combo of all the words above. I thought about what I would come away with after hours of watching media if I didn’t have core value with in me already. I thought to myself? Man, this would be my greatest source for discovering who I was made to be and act. Then thinking hmm, what if I didn’t have a foundation in Jesus Christ. Even in saying that after watching Rob Bell today/ having a good theological converstation today. I am left feeling like I have foundation with some loose stones. And this feeling of frustrated inspiration arose in me and so I began to write. Why do you ask? I mean I love seeing people be passionate about something. There is a part of me that connects so deeply with someone who is living out what they are born to share with this world. Be it music, science, literature and the list goes on. But just because your passionate about something dosn’t make it right? Right? hmm… At school we recently finished a book titled ” Victorious Eschatology” and to be honest I have never enjoyed the thought of Eschatology. Most people thought process at the thought of eschatology goes something like ” Who Cares?!”. But as I examined myself today I thought… Why don’t I care? And it all boiled down that… that it was hard for subject for me to understand. That forming a opinion took time and research and that ultimately I could be wrong. Also because some of it seems like its just varying interpertations from different scholars… I decided to form no opinion. That dosn’t sit right with me. A conviciton come upon me and I don’t want to be silent. There is something deep inside me that is brewing. It bubbling over with the anticpation in my heart to speak it. To speak out Truth Back to the theological converstation… In the end we verbalized our opinions on this and that. I told my friend that perhaps there is a reason why God just dosn’t tell us the “Right” answer. God isn’t a vendy machine. Quick and Easy. But instead there is a history that is developed in the exchange of converstation between you and the Holy spirit. His word is a lamp on to my feet and light unto my path. What am I trying to say in the midst of all this? Well it is not a rant against the evils of media. Instead I was inspired as I watched on how powerful the tools of emotion can quickly change your convictions. The persuasion of passion has become a God in our genearation. Whatever your passionate about becomes your conviction. It becomes my message. It fuel the motivation to start a revolution. It makes me feel signficant. So God, help me to be perusasve about your passion. Passionatly pursusing the in and outs of your workings, words and wisdom. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Help me to be lay down lover so I can hear the ground shake as the slightest move of your foot. Because where you go I want to go and last I heard from Kanye himself. Jesus walks with me! Yes, your even running and lifting the broken hearted man with the ease of your touch and the one footstep print as your signature move. And hold me close to your heart so I may hear the sound of creations longing to be loved and deeply known. Help me. To be always persuade by your passion.
Greetings Friends and Family. Tis the end of a 2010 and there is many exciting things that are beginning to happen in Jan 2011. As some of you know I have been attending a minstry school in California out of Bethel Church. This is my 2nd year attending this school and it truly has been the greatest time of growth that I have ever expierenced. It amazing to know that we can always continue to grow in our walk with God. He is faithful to teach us, speak to us and always lead us to abudant life. One of my greatest prayers for the past 3 year is to expierence true freedom. True freedom would be best way to sum up what I have lived out and expierenced these past years. Understanding that when Christ gave up his life for us to be rid of sin. That a glorious exchange happend to those who call on his name. We went from death to brillant life. A highlight on this journey of freedom has been the ability to travel around America and beyond to go and spread this freedom, love and enteral peace that I have found. Last year I went on a trip to Nicaguara and got see God move in power through healing thier bodies, prophetic words and caring for thier physical needs. I got to witness a miracle as I prayed for a man’s wrist to be healed. After I prayed he had full mobility to open up his hand and had not been able to do that since his accident. It was astounding! God wants to use us to perform his wonderful displays of love. :) This year in March I will be heading to Lebanon for my missions trip of 2011. I am so excited to have the oppourtunity to display the love of God to this country. In our preprations leading up to this trip we have had the privledge of hearing amazing testimonys of how the team brought transformation to this country. This years trip sounds even grander then the last. We eagerly anticpate the ways that God will move amongst and through us. Our trip leader shared with us some of his vision and anticpations for this trip which included working with a local churche called Tent of praise and helping lead a conference. Also getting oppourtunitys to speak at thier university and doing evangelism as we walk the local streets of Lebanon. Last year they had the oppourtunity to go and witness at a refugee camp. But truly the sky is the limit for the divine appointments we will have on this mission from God. In saying this I write to you in part to inspire and encourage. But also to ask you to partner with me in bringing change to the people of Lebanon. I am looking for your support in prayer and financal needs. The total amount for the whole trip is 2700. As of Dec 27th I have 320 for the trip. (Praise God!) But Jan 5th is our deadline of 1300 and second deadline is Feb 18th will be the remaining amount.
