Life Did Not Turn Out Like You Expected

Life Did Not Turn Out Like You Expected?

Have you ever stopped for one moment and thought about where your life is right now? Maybe you look at your current place and the event that got you here, and you think; "WOW! This is not where I thought that I would be by this age." 

If you have every thought this, I am sure this story will give you encouragement. 

When you are reading the Bible and the stories that are in the Bible, you must always put yourself into the story, and into it's characters. When I first started reading the Bible, I used to skim over sections like the above text. But, now I really try and understand what these people were feeling.

Look at John the Baptist. John knew that this great Messiah was coming. In fact John was the one that baptized Jesus to start His ministry (3:13-17). The heavens opened up, GOD spoke, and the Spirit of GOD descended upon Him. So, John must of known that this was the Messiah. I know that if I saw this sign, I would.

So why then, did John ask in verse 11:3: "Are you the one, or should we expect someone else?" To give you a little background John was in Jail. I believe that John was saying in a round about way. Jesus, remember me, I am the one that baptized you, ahhhhh did you know that I am in jail? Bust me out and lets change the world! I want to help, and I am not doing much here in jail!Did you like Jesus' response? Jesus did not say yes or no. But, tells John what you have seen with your own eyes. I do believe that Jesus gave John some words of encouragement in verse 11:6. Jesus was saying hang in there, trust me even if this does not make sense.

Put Yourself In John's Shoes.

I would guess that he imagined that when the Messiah came, he would be a part of the plan in some way. I would guess that John was excited for the great things he would see and experience. I would guess that John wanted and dreamed about being apart of this. I would bet the last place that John expected to be was in JAIL.

If you know the end of the story; John was beheaded. I wonder if all the way to his death, in the back of his mind John was thinking: Surely Jesus is going to rescue me. Like John, your plans are not always going to line up with Jesus'. In fact there may be sometimes you may be angry or saddened by them.

Go to Jesus, tell Him your honest feelings (Like King David) Jesus honors this. Once you have shared your heart, "Do not fall" V6 if it still does not fit into your plans, trust Jesus. Someday (Maybe in heaven) it will make sense.

"Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another? And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, leper sare cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me."

What Does satan Look Like?

What Does satan Look Like?

Read More Christian Blogs

I have a question for you, but you can't look down and read the rest of the devotional. You have to read the question, then answer. OK? Here is the question: In your mind what does satan look like?

 

I am sure that if you do a google search for images of satan or devil you will get pictures of this red person with horns, pointy tail, an the infamous pitch fork. Is that what you imagined? So what does satan look like?

I used to think that until I became closer to Christ, moving me more to the front line, thus knowing my enemy better. To me ( This is clearly my opinion, not fact) satan is the most beautiful creature, being short of Christ, but, the most ugly thing that you have ever witnessed on the inside.

You might ask why would I think this? Well, if satan is ugly and a being that makes you afraid, that would be too easy for us. You would see him, or be tempted by him and run, sin would not appeal to you. But, if satan were beautiful, like sin is at first, it would be very tempting, and hard to resist. If you remember back to Ezekiel 28:12-17 God referred to satan as "Perfect in beauty."

So, why focus on satan or his ways? Well, if you have taken a stand and committed your life to Christ, you now have a mortal enemy. You have taken Christ's side in the spiritual war that is raging on around us. satan will do anything in his power to take you out.

If you do not prepare yourself and know how your enemy is going to attack, you will find yourself another casualty. satan will tempt you, you will fall to his temptation, maybe become discouraged and want to give up all this Jesus stuff. BAM, satan has you right where he wants you. Ineffective for Jesus.

In closing, Jesus was tempted, the model and example of perfection for us. Did you notice how Jesus responded to satan's attacks? Jesus quotes scripture back to satan, did you notice satan's counterattacks after the scripture? There were none. he tried two more times then left. If you do not read your Bible, you are going into the battle with NOTHING on your side. Know your enemy and how he attacks, then kick his butt with the Sword of the Spirit.

Matthew 4:1-11
The Temptation of Jesus

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you, 'and 'On their hands  they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'" Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Be gone, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall  worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve. Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and  were ministering to him.

Are Christian To Legalize Marijuana?

Are Christian To Legalize Marijuana?

Read More Christian Blogs

Marijuana is now legal in Colorado and it look like it soon will be in my home state, Washington. At one time I was right winged and thought that it was wrong, and anyone that used it was wrong. But 8 years ago I was diagnosed with a muscle wasting disease that causes a lot of muscle pain and discomfort. The only relief that I got from the pain was through oxys. These are terrible addicting pills. After taking these on and off for 10 years I asked my doctor for a license for medical marijuana.

The whole process of buying marijuana was embarrassing and awkward. I have never taken marijuana so I had no idea what to ask or how to take it. The funny thing was that when I asked the people who knew about it, no-one could tell me anything because of the legalities of it, so I left frustrated and gave up the whole process.

Now that it is going to be legal where I live, I am not sure what I am going to do. It is legal for me to take, but is it beneficial for me? I have lived in pain every day for the last 10 years and most days I pray that Jesus to take away the discomfort or take me home. Am I an exception for taking Marijuana or not? Where do we as Christians draw the line?

As with any situation in life when I have a question, I turn to the Word of God. Here are two verses that I found:

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything." - 1 Corinthians 6:12

 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."  - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

You should not be controlled by anything in life except Jesus. Alcohol is legal for me to drink and I do like to drink an occasional beer or glass of wine, but it does not control me I control it. It is not the most important thing in my life.

My body is a temple of the Lord; I should treat it as such. I am also a shining example of Jesus Christ. If I walk around drunk or high I am not much of an example for My Lord.

I also believe that it comes down to the person. If they feel that they are not going to be able to control it, they should not cross that line.

I also feel that if a person wants to take marijuana is going to take it regardless of what the law says.

So, what are your thoughts or beliefs? What kind of example should we give others as Followers of Jesus Christ?

As I was reading the verses today, I could not help but to think of the men that Jesus chose. They were not the most religious, in fact some were just the opposite of the religious. Just think, these men that Jesus needed were going to change the world, and He had 3 years to train and release these men.

These men were just like you and I. They had certain personality traits, they had a job or trade that they performed, maybe they liked it, maybe they did not. These were just ordinary men. But, Jesus used them, each different, to help with His work.

When Jesus called each man, He did not ask them to change their personality. He did not come to Peter and say, "I need you, but Peter, you have to tone it down a little bit. You need to be a little more passive". He knew every man's trait and used it to His glory. All that Jesus asked was to simply; follow Him.

Jesus knows you. He knows what you like and dislike. He knows if you like to be in front of people, or stay behind the scenes. He knows if you are outspoken or very quiet. Yes, he knows you better than you do. Now here is the neat thing, Jesus does not ask you to change. He wants you just like you are. He can use you just like you are. Jesus knew Mathew's traits, he knew that he was a details guy. And He used him to write an amazing book of the Bible.

Have you heard Jesus call? If you have, are you trying to change to be someone Jesus could use more effectively? If you know that you do not like to be around people, are you trying to force yourself to be around people? DON'T. Jesus wants you just like you are, and He will use you to do amazing things, just like you are. All you need to do is to heed His call to follow Him, and give Him your entire heart, then hang on, for the ride of your life!!!

Matthew 4:18-22

While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Is Your Life A Drought Right Now?

Is Your Life A Drought Right Now?

Read More Christian Blogs

The story of Haggai is simple, yet one that we need to be reminded of. The Lord's house was in "Ruins" while the people were living comfortably. GOD had provided for them, and they became comfortable. GOD was not pleased that His people had forgotten about HIM, so HE reminded them with a drought. (v1:10-11)

Did you catch that it was not so much that the building was in ruins, and not that GOD wanted a building. He wanted the people hearts and minds to be focused on Him, and GOD needed a place to be honored.

Related Blog: God Knows What Is Best For Your Life.

I really like the phrase that appears several times in the NIV version; "Give careful thought." It is like GOD was saying to HIS people. "My children, try and put two and two together, I provide for you, you are ignoring ME, and there just happens to be a drought, do you see the connection? Give careful thought to what is happening."

GOD loves us so much, and HE loves to provide for us, but sometimes we start to take these blessings for granted. GOD may soon be forgotten as the giver of these gifts, as we start to look to ourselves and others. GOD then may need to get our attention by sending us a "Drought."

If you feel that you are going through a drought in your life right now, you may want to check your heart. Does the place that you meet Jesus, lay in ruins? Or are you spending time daily, building and cleaning it up? Making it a place where Christ can be honored?

Haggai 1:5-10 

Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts:

Consider your ways. You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes." Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD. You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.

Why God..... Why?

Why God.... Why?

Read More Christian Blogs 

There are some passages that I read in the Bible that I have to remind myself that these words were written thousands of years ago. The reason I remind myself of this is because the words that were written seem to apply to our day and age. A great example of this is verse 1:4 "The law is paralyzed."

I can identify with Habakkuk and his thoughts. I have had many conversations (OK, complaints) with GOD about this sickness that HE has allowed me to have. I have asked GOD many times: Why do I have this?

I love YOU, and I do my best to serve YOU will all my heart.

I could do so much more for YOUR kingdom if I felt good.

How come YOU let me feel sick?

WHY, WHY, WHY?

Why don't you give this to some child rapist that is sitting in jail, or some murderer, or anyone who takes a clear stand against YOU? Give this to them!

Related Blog Post: Where Is God In The Hard Times?

You know with all the questions and complaints that I have presented to GOD, HE has never once shown me a clear answer. HE has not even revealed a little bit of the future either, it is a day by day FAITH issue. It would be so easy to accept if I knew THIS is why you have this, HERE is what I am doing, this is WHY.

I am sure, that if you think for a moment, you can identify with mine and Habakkuk thoughts. Maybe you are not sick, but struggling with finances, finding a spouse, struggling with a job/boss, getting picked on or ridiculed for what you believe and stand up for.

The events that you go through in your life, GOD may never tell you why, until you go home. You may search the Bible forwards and back, and never come up with the answer.

But, I can tell you three principles that we need to live by:

1. GOD is sovereign. Meaning HIS wisdom goes way beyond ours. HE knows all, and HIS ways are perfect.

2. BUT....... no buts, GOD is sovereign....period.

3. Habakkuk 2:4 - The righteous live by FAITH.

Live your life day by day. Take each day one day at a time.

We are taught this by the Lord's Prayer, and the parable of the birds.

Habakkuk 1:4, 13-14, 2:4 

So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted. You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he? You make mankind like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler. (Habakkuk speaking) Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. (GOD speaking)

As I read the story of Jonah, I can see a little of Jonah (Well a lot) in myself. See if you can identify with Jonah's attitude.

Have you ever felt that GOD was calling you to HIM, or to do a certain task? You may be resisting HIS calling... maybe you feel that you are not ready, maybe you are not ready to make the commitment, maybe it is something that you are against. Whatever your feelings may be, you turn away from GOD's calling, like Jonah. In fact Jonah headed for Tarshish, the exact opposite direction of Nineveh.

After some time of fleeing or avoiding GOD's calling you have either come to know or will come to know that once Jesus has begun to work in your heart, you usually will submit to Jesus' love for you. His love is intriguing, once you feel a small part of it, you must experience more. So, now you are becoming committed to His task, so you feel that it is yours.

That is so common today, when we do our everyday tasks it is so easy to forget that we have Jesus helping us, I know that I feel a lot of times that I have to do it all, I forget I am the servant, He is my master. All He asks me is to do my best, the results are up to Him, and I have to be OK with whatever He decides to do. He is Christ, I am not.

This is where Jonah failed. He forgot that GOD is sovereign, HE is in control. Jonah was the servant, but he forgot this and became angry with GOD. GOD even gave Jonah a wonderful example with the vine for shade. Jonah did nothing to cultivate the vine (Nineveh) so it was not his to dictate what happens to the vine. Nineveh was GOD's. He had been at work there for some time, it was HIS, not Jonah's.

In your life there are going to be things that happen that you will not agree with. I know it is hard because we have feelings and we care about certain situations. But, we must always remember that GOD is sovereign, HE knows best. Always look to Him whether things are good or bad.

Jonah 4:5-11

Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered.....

When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, "It is better for me to die than to live." 9 But God said to Jonah, "Do you do well to be angry for the plant?" And he said, "Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die." 10 And the LORD said, "You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?"

No One Will Escape Gods Judgement

No One Will Escape Gods Judgement

Today, I thought that we would touch on both themes from Joel and Amos. Joel's message is very clear; every person currently living or deceased, will come face to face with GOD in judgement for their sins. No one will escape this judgement, no one. The one, the only thing that will save us is:

And everyone who calls

on the name of the LORD will be saved;

for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem

there will be deliverance,

as the LORD has said,

among the survivors

whom the LORD calls. Joel 2:32

Yes, it is that simple, and that easy; Jesus Christ. This is our mission, we as believers know this, but our friends and family are going to face the same judgement from GOD, and they may not know this. We MUST spread this good news, I cannot imagine myself before GOD receiving my judgement and seeing my friend next to me knowing that he is going to receive the same judgment, and I never told him the Good News.

What a shame I would feel if he were to look at me and ask, "Why did you never tell me about this?" I do not want to be in that position, even if it means that he may think I am a "Jesus Freak" here on earth.

Amos is directed at your heart. Amos wanted to make sure that your offerings to GOD are pure and true. Your "Offerings" are not only money, but can be time, worship, and life. We need to do a heart check every once in a while to make sure our motives are done with a pure heart.

We were watching the movie "Facing the Giants" (Good movie by the way), the movie had a great example of this. The head coach was in desperate need of a new car, so a player and his father gave him a new truck. They pushed his old car away, and left the new truck in it's place with a note on the window and the title in the truck.

The two sat in their car at a distance from the coach and watched him and his reaction. The coach saw GOD, and how HE met a need of his. I am sure that the coach knew it was someone that he knew, but GOD received the glory, not the player and his father. Just before the scene ended, the father said to the son, "No one knows about this." A wonderful offering from the heart to glorify GOD and meet a need of HIS body.

Gods Promise #76 God Knows Your Anguish

Gods Promise #76 God Knows Your Anguish

Promise #74: I see all your hardships and I care about your suffering.  

King David, who wrote this psalm, knew a lot about hardship and affliction. He experienced much loss, betrayal, grief and violence in his tumultuous life. 

The one thing I have always appreciated about David was his transparency when writing the Psalms. He never tried to cover up his true feelings. He was honest in his communication with God. In today's Bible verse found in Psalm 31:7, we read how David was keenly aware of the steadfast love that God had for him. He was also aware that God understood his suffering and deeply cared for him in the midst of his distress.

No matter what pain you are going through in your life today, God understands. He knows us more than we know ourselves. When He sees our struggles and our suffering, His heart is filled with compassion for us. As David also wrote in Psalm 103:13-14, God has compassion on us just like a good father has compassion on his children.

What Happens When Your Faith is Tested?

What Happens When Your Faith is Tested?

What Happens When Your Faith is Tested?

Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, "Blessed

be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,

who has sent his angel and delivered his servants,

who trusted in him, and set aside the king's command,

and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and

worship any god except their own God....

Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation,

or language that speaks anything against the God

of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn

limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there

is no other god who is able to rescue in this way."

Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and

Abednego in the province of Babylon. Daniel 3:28-30 

These verses are the ending of the story of Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego. Daniel has two stories where a believer's faith was tested to the extreme. In both of these stories the situation must have been terribly stressful, try for a moment to put yourself in their position.

Related Blog: Has God Tested Your Faith

In both situations, it meant sure human death, if GOD did not intervene. But in both stories they went boldly, not knowing if GOD would rescue them, or if they would find themselves at Jesus' feet in heaven. I would imagine most of us would not have to have our faith tested to those extremes, but when your faith is tested by the fires of life, is GOD glorified?

We as followers face trials every day, some are very large, and some are minor, but all are a test of our faith. How you handle these fiery trials is an example of how strong your faith is. If you crumble, become discouraged, maybe become angry at GOD, your faith needs to be strengthened. But, if you endure these trials with the attitude that no matter the outcome, you will trust and keep the faith that GOD is sovereign.

Always know that your friends and the other people that know you, know what you believe and stand for. Every time you withstand a fiery trial, speaks volumes of your faith. You are a shinning example of Jesus without speaking a word, GOD is glorified, satan losses. Heh Heh Heh.

Remember this when you face the next trial. I truly believe that we will be rewarded for our faithfulness when we go home. Have a GOD Glorified Day!

Do You Have Integrity?

Do You Have Integrity?

Do You Have Integrity

'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: You have gone far enough, O princes of Israel! Give up your violence and oppression and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing my people, declares the Sovereign LORD. You are to use accurate scales, an accurate ephah and an accurate bath. The ephah and the bath are to be the same size, the bath containing a tenth of a homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer is to be the standard measure for both. The shekel is to consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty- five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina. Ezekiel 45:9-12

You might read the above verses and think that this only applies to people that run a business or company. So, if I do not own a company or business then it does not apply to me, right?

This principle applies to business people, and the individual and his or her personal life too. This principle should not only apply to our Christian brothers and sisters, but especially to our non- believing friends. What a great way to be an example for Jesus.

These principles go beyond money, I would call it personal integrity. Stop and think for a moment, think about some dealings that you have had with a friend or business contact. If you have a situation in mind, would you have done the same thing if Jesus were standing right next to you?

Maybe instead of lending that person money, you might have given that person the money, without asking anything in return. Maybe instead of selling an item for more than you think it was worth, you would have sold it for the true value. And here is a hard one, what if someone at the store gives you too much change back? You have left the building and are counting your change, and realize the store gave you $20 instead of $10. Do you say to yourself, "It was their careless mistake" or do you go back and return it to the cashier? No one else knows........ except Jesus.

The way that we conduct business with our money speak volumes about us as Christians. It is tempting when we are faced with these situations, but money, and our love for it, is one major value that separates us from the the world. Did you happen to notice in the scriptures, that if a person cheated another person on a measurement of a ephah, they were also cheating GOD? When that cheated person would offer up that ephah as a sacrifice it would not be a true ephah. I would think that GOD would not hold the cheated person responsible, but the person that did the cheating responsible.

Gods Promise #69 Jesus Will Give Your Body Life

Gods Promise #69: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to you. 

Gods Promise #69 Jesus Will Give Your Body Life

It is amazing to me to think that the very same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and me. Our bodies are not a dwelling place for a small measure of the Spirit's presence, but we host Him. The same Spirit of the living God that had so much power that He raised Jesus from the dead is the same Spirit that has chosen to reside in your heart. And it is the same Spirit that will give life to your mortal body just as He gave life to Jesus!

The Bible says that we are His temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). The Bible also says that our God and Father sealed us with His promised Holy Spirit as a deposit to guarantee our coming inheritance. (2 Corinthians 5:5) We need the Holy Spirit Himself to make this revelation a reality to each one of us.
