A rim shot and a slam dunk

Here is another encouraging story (at least for me) it is. If you read the about me section here you will notice a mission prophecy I got from my own mouth that said I was supposed to use the media to reach my generation. I know it was because how it did not go through my mind and how it flowed. Anyway that was in like 2005 or 2006 I think. I eventually "just happened" to get a job at LHC and they are all about using media.  It was really neat, not exactly the level of service I hoped for but the right direction anyways.

After my department at LHC was outsourced I gave them my resume and through praying and looking around a guy I worked with Rick suggested I try CGI Productions. I did and I got hired on as an intern learning online marketing and stuff like that. Eventually I had to get another job and I was praying and I went up to Rick B. at LHC and said I wanted to be like an Internet Campus Pastor. He said that Cheryl White had just talked about looking for someone that very day. I emailed her and she eventually got back to me saying that they were not willing to pay me for that. So I know for SURE the voice I was hearing was the right one. I have found that most "Proffessional" Christ followers do not really do that its more like resources and relationships. Alot of those in official ministry should not be there and many of the best are not there. I do not claim to be the best at hearing his voice but from what I have seen I must be pretty close LOL. Vision and common sence says clearly that in the long run people are not going to want to learn from an impostor? How are you going to do it if the people YOU choose are not able to?

Long story short now I work at Cellecast a Radio on demand company serving the national media! That will not be the end of the story either. Not to praise myself but God sure rewards a guy who started out mostly just reading his bible and putting it into practice. I am telling you it works!

Another story recently is Carey my girlfriend has been becoming more and more into creative stuff and photography. We have been praying alot about what God wants her to do and sure enough she applied at a few photography studios and she got an interview. So we prayed about it again and just before we closed the phone rang and she got the job! As it turns out she is a christian lady who's husband is a missionary.... Imagine that! See thats why Jesus is our king its sort of like we give him a call and he passes it on to the right person.

Its amazing people do not want to love God and accept christ to me what else is there in life that is more important? Most of the other things in life are just not worth missing the adventure. I do admit I tend to passup open doors that do not look like a match with the will of God. The holy spirit knows his will I do not in my sinful nature. You can not steal your way in, as a matter of fact stealing makes you fall out of his grace and will. Sorry about the revisions of my blogs I have been working in IT recently and poor grammar and spelling is ok in note taking. Not to mention I have a hard time with transitions most of the time. Also stewardship of money really is not my thing I guess.

John 10:27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.

John 7:17
Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own.

Here is a nice church, yeah they do talk about money but its working, mostly.

Here are some verses that stand out to me today.

2 Corinthians 5:11-21 (New Living Translation)

We Are God’s Ambassadors

11 Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too. 12 Are we commending ourselves to you again? No, we are giving you a reason to be proud of us,[a] so you can answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart. 13 If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. 14 Either way, Christ’s love controls us.[b] Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.[c] 15 He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.

16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,[d] so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

Note: Durring Jesus day there were several religeous groups one was very strict about keeping laws but continued to comit core sins due to lack of love. There was another group that was not skilled at knowing the truth concering God's word or his power, they tended to conform to the culture. There were others but these represent alot of what we see here in the USA today. I speak several dialects of english used to separate the people groups in the USA. I speak american english-buddhist, engish-christianese, and some english-new age.  It is hard to start trusting God in every area if things are kept secret but once exposed you must choose to change. Lately I have been realizing why "the best things in life are free" and how we rich americans have such a hard time entering the kingdom of heaven. The more we get used to paying for things the harder it is to except the highest level of spirituality and that is the free gift of eternal life and the humility it takes to realize we are all at the same level when it comes to that. The more we surrender to him the higher God can take us. What an amazing adventure it is indeed!

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (New Living Translation)

The Temple of the Living God

14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil[a]? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 16 And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:

“I will live in them
and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.[b]
17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers,
and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord.
Don’t touch their filthy things,
and I will welcome you.[c]
18 And I will be your Father,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.[d]

Note: i guess the satanists are trying to create an alternate reality of lies reguarding adultry or a mistress of sorts. The "magic" number they need is 6.5" or 7"ish depending on environmental and emotional/spiritual factors. That way they do not have to average it out or pick the wrong one. Sorry if my blogs are out of date a bit I usually take hand written notes and then put them in a blog later. Even now I have lots of info still in notes, do not worry it will get out there eventually. When only the top level programmers know the bugs in software I guess hacking gets exspensive and backups get more valuable. I highly reccommend local hosting and companies that release bug fixes quickly before the bugs get released to the hackers.

Some GREAT stuff I wanted to tell you about!

Well guys thanks for hanging in there and reading my crazy blogs. Its been fun and wierd honestly. Thanks specifically for the 37916 hits my official blog got last month, the 704 unique visitors and 3120 visits! Thats notbad fruit considering how much effort I put in for only a month.

If you or someone you know who would like to try a Christ centered relationship PLEASE tell them to see this movie. http://www.fireproofthemovie.com/

It is playing in some theaters and not others, I would assume because of its counter cultural influence.

(by the way CHRIST followers have 1 divorce out of nearly 39,000 marriages)
