That's It? What Else Can I Do?

At my first day of work I remember seeing what is expected of an employee here. My first thought was man, I've never worked in this field before I may need help. Then I told myself to man up, don't be scared and do what you gotta do. I was like That's it? What else can I do? I remembered Jesus feeding the 5000 followers he had amassed [John 6:1-14]. I imagine the convo he had Philip and Andrew

Philip: We don't have enough food to feed all these ppl Jesus!
Jesus: How much food do we have?
Andrew: Just a couple fish and a few loaves of bread!
Jesus: And how many people?
Philip: A few thousand!
Jesus: That's it??? Bring them and I will feed them. What else can I do for you?

You might be thinking, "He's Jesus the Son of God of course He can do that." But He also says that we will go on and do many great things and miracles in His name. So your primary issue should be to commit your works and deeds to the Lord and involve Him in everything you do. When faced with what seems to be impossible just tell yourself, that's it? I know I'm capable of waaay more than what they are asking of me. What else can I do on top of this assignment to really show them what I'm capable of? 20 pg report due by Friday? That's it? Make it 25. NYU wants a 700 on the GMAT or better? Psshh light work! I'll give them 750. Sell over $10000 worth of shoes in 2 weeks? That's it? Im looking at $8500 and its only Wednesday. Cure cancer by the end of August? Man these ppl are insulting my intelligence! When Im done with cancer I'll move on to AIDS. Get out there and attack everything with that attitude. Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week.

Music: I Am God - Donald Lawrence & Tri City Singers

One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite gospel composers and choirs. Arnetta Murrill-Crooms singing lead. Her alto voice is definitely one of the best Ive ever heard.

So check this song out and if your feeling it, Youtube Donald Lawrence, Donald Lawrence Bible Stories etc

The Price of Greatness

It is a great one.

My pastor did a three part sermon on Acts chapter 9. I'm not about to take what he was saying but rather put up some things I thought about while hearing the sermon.

This chapter is when Jesus speaks to Saul on his way to Damascus from heaven. Saul was a man [As my pastor says] going in the right direction but on the wrong path. He was a powerful and smart man. That is the right direction but he took the wrong path in the persecution of Christians. But upon hearing Jesus he immediately knew what the deal was. It was time to change his life. Saul displayed an immense amount of humility here [one part of greatness] He followed the orders given to him and went to Damascus to be healed by Ananias, a Christian whom just maybe a day ago, would have been his enemy. Also note that even though Saul was blind, he had the vision to walk by faith.

Here's where it gets GREAT. Saul immediately began to preach the news of Jesus. People were amazed and wondered if this were the same Saul! See when you strive for greatness, people will see your transformation. Some will welcome it some will shun it. Old ppl u would have considered enemies now become friends [Acts 9:26-27] and old friends become enemies [Acts 9:23] because you are now striving for something different and not everyone will be on the same page as you. Verse 23 says the Jews took counsel to kill him after they saw all he was doing. When people see your potential they either gonna wanna ride with you or do anything in their power to bring you down [Acts 9:24] But even in the face of sure defeat, when your blind, when people dont wanna ride with you, you were called by the Almighty God to do it so who on EARTH can stop you?

We all know Saul [Paul] went about to do great things and write a large portion of the New Testament because he knew his call was of Greatness because the Greatest being of the universe called him to do it. God's calling you RIGHT NOW! Pick up the phone!

2 Corinthians 5:17

And the Word of God reads...

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

I'm not new to the blog scene. But this is a new approach to my blogging experience.

It started in church last week. The Word given by my pastor was definitely great and moving so it got me to thinking how I can do my own ministry. I used to do it on Facebook but thats temporarily out of commission. So I figured I would just do it in a blog. No character limit and not limited to my network. The whole world can see.

So this blog is for everyone to see. My take and explanations of the Word of God. My own encouragement to those who feel down and out. This is my gift and my voice given by God to me to be sent to you.

So here I am and here is my new blog. Go Get Your Life Back and Im here with the Holy Spirit to guide you there
