Feelings,Nothing More Than Feelings

As CHRISTians it is vitally important for us to be lead by the WORD and not by our FEELINGS. Ooohhh but they can make us feel soooo good,can't they? YES THEY CAN! Here is the thing though, they are unreliable and fleeting. Feelings are just that FEELINGS and we should never put them before the WORD of GOD.
EVERYTHING we do and say should always be rooted and grounded in GOD'S WORD and in GOD'S WILL. If you want to know who's LORD, Jesus or your feelings just look at how many times you have missed Him because of....FEELINGS. WE are more likely to make bad decisions when we move out on our feelings instead of the WORD of GOD. Now feelings aren't bad though they are helpful, but we should only yield to them when they are lining up GOD'S WORD and when they help us to fulfil GOD'S WILL. Think about Jesus in the garden before His arrest. He was not FEELING like going to Cross. Did His love for us change at that moment, no I don't believe that it did. I believe that maybe He didn't want to be seperated from the Father like He knew He would be for a period of time. Maybe He would miss His disciples. I'm not really sure why Jesus said what He did but I'm thankful that He moved past His feelings and chose to obey God.....a move that we will benefit from throughout all eternity. Hallelujah!!! I believe God the Father shared that moving piece of information with us because He wants us to recognize that it is totally possible to OBEY and DO HARD THINGS whether our feelings or flesh wants to our not. Therein lies true victory!!! This week when you are faced with hard decisions and circumstances please don't rely on or lean upon your feelings, but instead lean on the WORD of GOD and OBEY Him. Remember feelings are fickle, but the WORD and WAYS of GOD are sure and will bring forth HIS intended results every time.(-:

Crying While You Run

One verse to one of my favorite songs says, sometimes you may have to cry...
and sometimes you may have to walk all alone.

How true. As we run our race there are times where we cry, and times when we find ourselves having to do this thing alone. I have found that although I love people, love to be around them, just love them period there are seasons where God just wants you alone. There are times when pruning takes place and you have to let Him cut some people out of your life, not because they are enemies just because He needs them to go. They are still our brothers and sisters but God knows what is best. Isolation will make you cry sometimes, and that's ok because when there are no other voices telling you what to do, telling you what they think, it's just you and God and guess what He may bring more people into your life and He may not. We've got to be ok with whatver He does because we have a race to finish, and to finish strong it has to be us and Him. It can be no other way when He has you alone. That's ok, just keep running tears and all because Jesus is right there with you running and cheering you on and for every step you run your roots are going deeper in Him and that's what He wants. Some of us can't abide richly in Him and His Word because we would rather have little gods in the flesh instead of GOD Himself. Or maybe the distractions of this life are taking away your divine opportunities to run harder and faster with Him. Whatever it is get rid of it, let Him get rid of it you may have to cry sometimes but you will be better in the long run and the other verse of that song says it will work out for the good of them who love the LORD (-:

Water for Your Race Pt 2

Ephesians 5:25-27 (21st Century King James Version)

Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word,
that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.


This is a beautiful verse of instruction to husbands and to the rest of us it's also valuable because it shows how Christ gave Himself for the church, and how he sanctifies and cleanses us by the washing of water by the Word. As we run this race the contaminants of this world get on us. Different shows, music, associations, movies, books, magazines and conversations all have the ability to get us "dirty."
Jesus said that He is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. He says that we should be holy and without blemish. The Word washes away all the filth off us for sure, and it's necessary to read the Bible daily because no matter what-- we get exposed to dirt daily. Whether we expose ourselves through disobedience or just happen to be sitting next to somebody who is just gossiping away we get dirty. God knew that and that's why He gave us His Word and His Spirit! Both will keep us nice and clean as we start each day and finish each day with a good washing. Getting dirty is unavoidable---cleaning ourselves daily CRITICAL!!! (-:

Water for Your Race Pt 1

The Benefits of Water...

Health and fitness professionals and partcipants always say drink lots of water. It flushes us out and keeps our organs healthy. Water is also good to drink right before a meal. As you drink a glass or two you are less likely to over eat and it helps in the digestion of the food you are about to eat. In the Bible the Holy Spirit is symbolized at times by water. He the Holy Spirit guides us into ALL truth.John 14:26
The truth is the truth no matter how we take it in so, we need to make sure first of all that we are spending time with God daily in prayer and His Word so we can hear His voice. We are God's temple and just like God wants and needs us to take care of this temple, praying in the Spirit builds us up inwardly in our most holy faith. Jude 1:20 --In addition, there have been studies done by doctors that show praying in the Spirit does some marvelous things in our brains.
The Holy Spirit will also help us to avoid the "junk food" of this life too as we fill up on Him. As ambassadors and athletes we can't run off of twinkies! The Holy Spirit will help us to watch what we eat, think, drink, observe,listen to, react to, act, and on and on. You will find that the more time you spend with God, and praying in the Holy Spirit your appetite towards fleshly or carnal desires will begin to decrease. As we run OUR race other people sometimes kick dirt on us as they run, situations and circumstances have the same ability, not to mention we dirty ourselves from time to time to. Join us next week as we run together learning how to keep the filth of life off us daily as we run!!! (-:
