We need Jesus!

This is not going to be a typical blog that I would usually do but i want to share with you some thoughts that I have about the world we are living in. When I walk in this afternoon I hear the sound of a newscaster saying that the stock market has "collapsed". As a 16 year old boy I usually don't think much about the stock market. But I feel that the Holy Spirit has dropped a couple of thoughts into my heart that needs to be shared. The first is that the end of time is near. I'm only 16 years old and I can tell that the economy and the world that we are living in is in bad shape. But there is one thing for sure, we have someone that sticks closer than a brother. He is Jesus Christ!! It doesn't matter how bad the situation may be, how bad the economy may be, there is one thing for sure if we will put our trust in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords we will be okay. But instead we have some people that is running around taking pleasure off of the WICKED things of this world. There is an individual that is so dear to me, that person is running from God. We were talking just the other day and we were talking about the shape of this Nation and I said "Well Jesus is coming back soon!" To my surprise this person replied saying "Oh no don't say that." That is the problem today. People have stopped looking for the return of Jesus Christ, they have stopped expecting his return. I often hear people say "Well I'm going to hell, i might as well live this life to its fullest." HOW FOOLISH.... I was sitting in the lunchroom the other day and heard cussing all over the building. I am not anyone to judge someone but i thought to myself, "If Jesus was to come back right now, how many people would be left behind?" This world is coming to an end.... I was sitting in class the other day when our new English teacher started talking about God. The girl in front of me turned around and said "This is terrible, I cant believe she is talking about God." Let me tell you something, I don't understand some people. If that teacher would have been talking about the devil she wouldn't have said anything. But just as soon as the teacher starts talking about God, the Divine being who spoke this world into existence, people go crazy. What we need is a revival to sweep across this nation. We need God in our school systems. I'm so fed up with the mess about how people say teachers "brainwash" their children with the teachings of God. But when it comes to a teacher teaching about how the human race supposedly come from a bunch of Apes they are satisfied with it. The school system needs God in its everyday curriculum. All of these people running around making fun of us Christians will one day face their punishment. I hear people saying that they are scared of what the anti-Christ is going to do. I have news for you, I'm not looking for the anti-Christ, I'm looking for the return of Jesus Christ.

Is He Real?? (Notes from Back-To-School Bash 08)

One day you will be faced with a problem, you will feel like you are down for the 10 count, you are going to need some divine being with supernatural powers to intervene in your life... I want to explain who that divine being is...... Let me start off by saying that the Lord is mentioned 6000 times, God 4000 times, Jesus is mentioned in 600 verses… I would say that the number of times he is mentioned reveals he is real...
I am going to us 1 main story from the Bible this evening... I am going to summarize Daniel 3... King Nebuchadnezzar has a golden statue and he says that everyone must bow down and worship the statue when the trumpets and other musical instruments sound...so it happens and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego don’t bow down... They know that King Nebuchadnezzar isn’t there God, and they especially know that the gold statue isn’t. Word gets back to King Nebuchadnezzar and he is furious... So he is mad and orders that the furnace be heated 7 times hotter than usual... According to my research a furnace could top 1800 degrees.... So if Trent Hill, B H, and C H were thrown into a furnace and I jumped into save them I would melt... A typical cremation chamber only tops around 1400 degrees, so the furnace is 800 degrees hotter than a cremation chamber... The flames were so hot it killed the guards that threw them in...In vs. 25... It says that they were unbound walking around in the fire, they weren't even harmed... So some supernatural power kept then from being burnt... It says that there was a divine being walking around with them... Let me tell u who that divine being was...it was God... He is real... He is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week... He hears our cry for help. He steps down and tells the devil he is messing with his child…. The laws of nature had to be broken; I can’t do it neither can you. If you are in a situation, if u don’t think u can go any longer...put your trust in God...he is real and he wants to save you.... think about the children of Israel as they were escaping from the Egyptian army, they couldn’t cross the Red sea, but some divine being intervened. Think of Daniel in the lions den, some being with some supernatural power kept him from being eaten alive. LAW OF NATURE BROKEN… You may say that you don’t believe God is real because you have never seen him... 2 Corinthians 5:7 “We live by faith and not by sight” …But think about the wind, you can't see it...but you can see the effects of it...you can feel its presence...God is the same way... You can’t see him…but you can see the effect he has on people and you can also sense his presence… The wind affects us so does God… The wind affects others around us, so does God… The wind is always present but can’t always be felt, God is always present but the reason you may not feel his presence is because you are not standing where you need to be. On a hot summer day the wind can refresh you, when you are discouraged, when you don’t think you can go any longer from all of the satanic attacks God can refresh me and you…. He is real this evening…
He’s real and here is a little something about him….
He is the Beginning!
He is the Comforter!
He is King of Kings
He is Lord of Lords
He is the Way Maker

Romans 8:28 (NLT)

Romans 8:28 (NLT)
"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them"

• Pay attention to the word "good". It can mean "pleasant" or "enjoyable". But some things that are good for us invovle pain. Think about how a doctor may have to do a painful treament to heal a wound. The doctor knows why he is "hurting" the patient, even though the one being affected by this "pain" may not understand. God knows everything, including the future, and he has a purpose for our life. We need to give everyhting to God and trust that the "pain" we go through will be used for good... That means even when you dont want to...
