Preperation and servitude
"Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."
"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"
"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."
When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10: 35-45
Is that powerful or what?
You know I often quote the portion of scripture that says Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve" but reading this passage in its entirety was really an eye opener. According to the scripture above the greatness that is ahead of us is determined the servitude we display now.
so of course the question is "How many of you are serving?"
we know that the word tells up "the harvest is pleantious but the laborers are few"
but how many of us are really laborers? Because the scripture speaks for itself I want to encourage us all to serve in the kingdom of God. Don't just get your ticket and have a seat.
Many of us may not know what to do but seel God, and PURPOSE TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM! in your servitude you will be great. When you are presented with men and women of God, serve God by serving them. Paul had Timothy, Moses had Aaron, Elijah had Elisha. Jesus had 13 of em! lol.
Remember as noted in Mark above "whoever wants to become GREAT among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be FIRST must be slave of all. "
Peace and blessings. .5

What did you say?
I know that when the times are tough or things in life or stressful, it is easy to pour out the reality of our issues in everyday speech. We talk about how our lives are stressed, how we are worried, or what it is we can't do. But Today I declare those days to be over!
Proverbs 18:21 says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
What this means is we have the power to dictate how our end will be with our mouth! It is this simple....if you say " I can't" then you are right! you cannot. However if you will be bold enough to declare things done in the name of Jesus, simply say "I can" then believe me my friends YOU WILL!
Matthew 17:20-20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I SAY unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be impossible unto you.
Romans 4:17
"A it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."
This is what WE must do in order to see monumental change take place in our lives, call thing which are not as though they are. Think of the great men and women in history. They didnt just stand by and say that they could not achieve, that they would never be. Instead they rose to the occasion and purposed to do great things! You too are great! You can and will accomplish great things because your life is in the power of your toungue! Be blessed.
"Even in Ministry there have been several things that I have sought to accomplish but it was not until I started speaking those things into existence that they truly came to pass!" - Point5

Colossians 4:6 (NKJV)
"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."
To speak with grace is to speak words that are wholesome, fitting, sensitive and purposeful.
Salt flavors and helps preserve our foods from decay. So also our speech should be gracious and salty, in essence adding flavor and be a purifying influence in our walk with Christ.
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephiaians 4:29
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8:13
Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14
in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility. Titus 2:7

Spiritual Authority,
I have recently encountered several situation, from many perspectives, that God has used to bless me with a greater understanding of Spiritual authority. I felt the need to share with you so that you may be blessed in your servanthood.
It is important to note that ALL positions of authority are God appointed and should be respected as such. Although it is not always easy to do it the "boss's way" it IS necessary.
Romans chapter 13 begins with...
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience."
This scripture alone sums it up... at work, in class, in groups, organizations, clubs or whatever, submit to the authorities placed before you. you reward will be great. Respect them and their wishes and if you disagree simply approach them in love...if they stand firm on their position, then that is that. don't become a distraction to their work. submit to "God's servant."
It is so important that we dont rebel against them...remember "he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
I often find that in instances like this if we would really ask ourselves, what would Jesus do? we would realize that Jesus would not rebel, he would submit and serve in a way that would best represent God. We should do the same.
It was the thought of the moment. Hope you enjoy it.

Drifting
"In light of the realization of who Jesus is,the radiance of God’s glory, the exact representation of God, far superior to angels and all created beings—we must be very careful to pay even closer attention to the Word of God that we have heard" (Hebrews 2:1).
It will not be the obvious, in-your-face sins that trip us up, but rather the gradual drifting away from the truth that we have come to know. Perhaps that sin will be neglecting to read the Bible and spend daily time in prayer. Perhaps it will be the letting down of our guard when it comes to the entertainment we enjoy or the ways in which we spend our money or our time. Or perhaps it will be our participation in unproductive, sinful things like idle gossip. The sins are different; the result is the same—spiritual drifting.
In order to prevent drifting in your walk of faith, ask the Holy Spirit to alert you to any subtle areas in your life where you may be drifting. Agree with what he shows you there, repent, and get back on course by realigning yourself with the Word of God.
Think of a boat in the water...the tide may cause it to drift in one direction or the other but if you have an anchor your boat will not drift. Seeking the face of God and studying his word is just like throwing out that anchor. It will keep you from drifting!
It is also important to keep strong believers with you (keyword 'STRONG') for the bible tels us that "the wise walk with the wise."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reads, "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. "
But we must be careful of who we surround ourselves with. I suggest only making those with Godly counsel extremely close, for in your time of need or trouble you need them to provide you with the word of God, not mere opinion.
To aviod drifting spiritually, set clear goals for yourself and commit to them.
Proverbs 21:5 tells us " The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But Everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty."
Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your works to the LORD, and your plans will be established.”
Many people say that drifting or backsliding is natural and it just sometimes happens, well I disagree. I want the people of God to begin to exercise the Word in a big way.
Being a CHRISTian is about progress and advancement! And that is exactly what we will do. WE ARE ABOVE DRIFTING. WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT. Glory to God!
So lets remove the possibility of drifting from our very thoughts....
Count it all Joy! Point5

Should we judge or not? A MUST READ
Judging is a subject which many Christians like to avoid. When pressed to defend one's position, though, there often seems to be a distinct division–those who think no one should judge anyone else for any reason, and those who tend to pass judgment on everyone for everything. So which position is right, according to God's Word? Neither. The fact is that Christians are not only permitted to judge, but in certain scriptures they are instructed to do so. However, there are restrictions on what and how we are to judge.
Christians who think judgin is wrong are quick to point out the "do not judge, or you too will be judged" scripture (Matthew 7:1; Luke 6:37), yet they either stop short of or fail to understand the meaning of Matthew 7:2 which continues, "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
To understand what this means let's start with a good foundation for our understanding of judging. Our foundation is upon Jesus Christ. Jesus' purpose in coming into this world was for judgment (John 9:39). God the Father appointed Jesus as judge of the living and the dead (John 5:22, 27; Acts 10:42; Acts 17:31; 2 Timothy 4:1; 1 Peter 4:5). It is important to note that Jesus' judgment is just and right (John 5:30; John 8:16; Acts 17:31; 2 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Timothy 4:8; Revelation 16:5, 7; Revelation 19:1-2). This is because Jesus doesn't judge arbitrarily; it is His Word which does the judging (John 12:47-48; Hebrews 4:12). God's Word further teaches that God doesn't judge by external appearance (Galatians 2:6) but that He judges each man's work impartially (1 Peter 1:17). And finally, we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10; Hebrews 9:27; Hebrews 10:30; Jude 1:14-15).
Now I know we are not Jesus so please understand this yellow portion is merely a discription of the way God does things. Jesus does the judging by His Word. And everyone will be judged by Jesus and the standard of His Word.
Now, let's return to the passage in Matthew 7:1-2. Since we know that we will be judged in the same way that we judge and with the same measure we use, and we also know that we will be judged and measured by God's Word, this passage means that we are permitted to judge by that which we find in God's Word. It is when we judge by other measures (opinions, wrong motives, erroneous information) that we end up in a lot of trouble!If we judge others with our opinions, with wrong motives, or by using erroneous information, then we can expect the same treatment from God! Boy, that should stop us in our tracks before judging, shouldn't it!?
However, we shouldn't be so fearful of judging wrongly that we fail to use common sense, decency, and a knowledge of God's Word to pass right judgment. This is what has happened to our country; we have been turning blind eyes to all of the sin around us for the sake of not judging so much that more and more souls are bound for hell everyday. Instead, we need to realize that God's Word does, indeed, give us guidelines for judging rightly against sin.
Let's see what limits and qualifications God places on making a right judgment:
Use God's Word as the standard for judgment (John 12:47-48 and Hebrews 4:12 with Matthew 7:1-2). Be sure you are not currently guilty of doing the same thing when you make the judgment (Romans 2:3; also see specific examples in Matthew 12:27; Luke 11:19; and Acts 23:3) Do not judge by mere appearances (John 7:24) Do not judge with discrimination (James 2:4) Do not slander (James 4:11) Do not pass judgment on disputable matters or those things on which the scriptures are not clear (Romans 14:1-4) Judge with mercy (James 2:13) Be willing to forgive (Luke 6:37) In addition to the above guidelines, one of the most important things to remember is that we are only capable of judging the act. We are never to judge the intentions or motives of another person–to do so would be assuming the role that only Jesus can fill. In John 8:15, Jesus taught that we can only judge by human standards, and we could be wrong. Only Jesus can judge men's secrets (Romans 2:16). It is the Word of God which judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). When the Lord returns, "He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts" (1 Corinthians 4:5).
We can see from these scriptures that only Jesus and His Word are qualified to judge intentions, motives, and attitudes. We are limited to judging the act itself. We must realize that there are some things which can be judged now and some things which cannot be judged until later, for sometimes it takes time for certain sins to be revealed (1 Timothy 5:24).
Christians are specifically instructed to judge the actions of those within Christ's church (1 Corinthians 5:12-6:4). Not to do so results in much sin within the body of Christ. In fact, God's Word teaches, "The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment" (1 Corinthians 2:15).
The Bible gives some specific examples of things we can judge, so long as we follow the guidelines and limitations previously discussed. They include murder (Matthew 5:21), careless words spoken (Matthew 12:36), rebellion against authority (Romans 13:2), sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 5:3; Hebrews 13:4), and grumbling against each other (James 5:9).
So the last thing I would like to say is that much like everything else in this world we must go to the Word of God.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children" (Hosea 4:6)
Get that knowledge before you hastily do things that you are uncomfortable with, such as judging others.
And for those who Judge me...you can see that I am in the word, I am constantly seeking the face of God and working towards that knowledge so that I won't make these types of mistakes. Just know that my Judgement is never to condemn! If I say anything to you it is honestly just an effort to help you grow. I love you ALL, regardless of whether or not you love me..
There is only one way to do it..."Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth."(2 Tim 2:15)
