Fasting Fury

By Christina

imageHow furious this world is demonstrating unrestrained or violent anger, rage, passion, or the like; violence; vehemence; fierceness and wrath are plundering through the nations.

In a time of our fasting – this is certainly a great petition to put forth in our prayer time regarding the fury nations, places and people. Why has all this come upon us now, for we even fight for our faith? As each Christian stood up they were shot by a young man filled with unrestrained violence and hate toward a people of faith in the state of Oregon.

Yet another mass shooting has occurred, while many are traumatized by the effects of all this violence. How sad, how somber and what an eye-opener for us all to continue to stand in our faith and prayers!  Continue reading

Lose Laziness

By Christina

imageI need to lose this laziness that is taking deep root in me. I really do NOT feel like going to the gym after having a few days off and after having a run of inconsistency for the last several months. Yes it is certainly taking its toll now. Imagine how that would be on the spiritual side of us if we know the physical gets quickly impacted. There has to be a good jump start to lose this laziness.

What you sow –yep! You certainly reap that. Here is the reminder of that:

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Galatians 6:7-9

We have to SOW so that we can grow! Continue reading

A Safe Place

By Christina

image

God has a safe place for you. A place in His presence. A place where you can remain. A place where you can grow. A place where you can be free. A place where you can surrender. A place where you can be protected. A place where you can be empowered. A place where you can be renewed. This is the safest place.

Can we mirror that in our church, in our homes, at the workplace or perhaps starting with us? Can we be a safe place too? As I am one among many in the church, I ask myself this same question. How can I help to create that safe place? How can I help the various people that funnel through the church so that they sense a safe environment and safe fellowship? We cannot be the church that points the finger but we can be that church that points people to CHRIST! Continue reading

Total Transformation

By Christina

“For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.”
Job 33:14

God speaks in so many ways.

Through His Word.

Through music.

Through prayer.

Through people.

Through places.

Through preaching.

Through situations.

There are so many ways that He speaks. Do we perceive it? Are we sharp enough to hear that ‘still small voice’ or even through ‘roaring thunder’. God spoke and God still speaks. God is consistently speaking to His people. Again, are we listening? He wants the total transformation in us, so in order for that to happen, He has to speak a lot. Continue reading
