Why anyone can achieve their dreams

If you are like me you had many dreams for yourself growing up as a child. And then somehow one by one they fell by the wayside for whatever reason. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way that we could recapture the optimism of our youth? You know what? We can! We just have to break out of our comfort zones and shake things up a bit and regain our faith in God! Anytime we suffer any kind of setback it can damage our faith, and let's face it honestly sometimes we even lose the belief that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. It's almost like as we grow up we think we know better right? Wrong! As I getting even older I am realizing more and more it was me that gave up on my dreams not God saying no! It was me who just got tired of seeking. Didn't he say seek and you shall find? Well to seek something means you got to go after it and hunt for it because you don't know exactly where it is, you just know it is out there. God tells us in John 10:10 that he wants us to have an abundant life that it is the devil who tries to tear it all away from us, yet somehow we want to blame God when we don't achieve our dreams. We need to get good and mad at the devil for once and make him wish he had left us alone. (We do this by witnessing to and loving others and doing everything in our power for God). God promised us that he would give us the desires of our heart so that our joy may be full if we delight in him. So just do that !Delight in him with all your heart do everything in your power, go the extra mile to show God your appreciation in your life for what he has done for you and watch the things you desire be open unto you! Little things I do is I play my gospel music so other drivers can hear it, I always stand in church during song service or during the reading of the word, I always pray for the people in Ambulances. I try and tell people about Jesus. I daily tell God thank you. I make him priority in my life, after all he is Lord.... right?

Not of works

Ephesians 2:8,9

8:For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9:Not of works, lest any man should boast.

So many people who live basically a moral life believe that because they are good decent people they are somehow immune from the fires of hell. We cannot save ourselves. If we could Jesus would never have had to die on the cross. Human nature is innately evil, and has been since the beginning of time. You have only to turn on the TV to see how wicked and perverse we truly are. Yet Jeus made a way we could become born again. By faith we accept the Lord trusting in his work on the cross and the second we ask him in our heart we notice a big change! It is his gift to us and we have no right to boast about our percieved holiness. It is Christ in us that is the difference. Trust his saving grace today just simply ask him in your heart and he will come in and be with you until the very end and then for all eternity!

The old violin

I just felt led to share this again. I pray it is a blessing.

The Old Violin

Twas battered and scarred and the auctioneer thought it scarcely worth his wile

to auction off the old violin, but he held it up with a smile.

What is my bidding for the old violin? Who'll start the bidding for me?

One dollar two or three?

But no from the room far back a grey haired man came forward and he picked it up with the bow

and dusting off the old violin and tightening the strings he played a melody as smooth and sweet

as an angel would sing.

The music ceased and the auctioneer said with a voice that was quiet and low

what is my bidding for the old violin as he held it up with the bow

1000, 2000, 3000 going and gone cried he!!

The crowd cheered, but some of them cried

We don't quite understand what changed it's worth?

Quick came the reply the touch of the Master's hand!

And many a man with life out of tune and torn and battered by sin

is auctioned off to that thoughtless crowd much like that old violin.

A mess of porridge, a glass of wine, a game and he travels on

he is going once he is going twice he is going and he is almost gone.

But then the Master comes, then the Master comes then

Jesus arrives on the scene.

And the thoughtless crowd never can quite understand

the worth of a soul and the change that is wrought

by the touch of the Master's hand!!!

Do you know his voice?

Has this ever happened to you?

Have you ever heard the Lord speak to your heart. In that instant you know it is him speaking directly to you. You know that you have heard from Heaven and you realize a glimpse of how awesome that truly is. Has this happened to you? If it has you know how precious those moments are. How sacred and amazing it is. Now for me it doesn't happen often only a handful of times, but I am truly thankful for each experience. When God speaks to your heart it is a very profound experience. Now for me it has never been an audible experience just a contact with my spirit that resonates my entire being and somehow I know it wasn't just my own self but rather the Father, the creator of the universe! I know that God is no respecter of persons and that I am no super spiritual person, but sometimes I just allow myself to be still and listen so if you have never had this wonderful experience let me encourage you to just sit and pray and listen you may just be pleasantly surprised.

The light up ahead

With writing these two blogs lately I have been giving a lot of thought to my past. I have noticed a very serious trend on my part that Satan has used repeatedly to rob me of blessings. I will just bet he has used it on some of you as well. He has encouraged me to quit right before my blessing would have come through if I had just stuck it out. I can not begin to tell you the number of times in my life where I was struggling with something and decided to just give up and go do something else and then later only to find out I quit right before my breakthrough. I am reminded of Moses and the hebrew people in the wilderness and that old song Canaanland is just in sight. The song says " Moses led God's people, forty years he led them through the dark and through the night. Though they walked through valleys, though they climbed high mountains they must not give up the fight, though they said let's turn back Moses said keep going Canaanland is just in sight.
I don't know who this is for this morning, but I just felt led to share this. I believe someone who reads this will be facing a battle and the easy thing to do would be to turn and leave, but I believe if you will stand firm and look ahead you will see theres light just up ahead and it is the light of the Lord himself bringing you into your blessing!

Jeremiah 18:3-4

Please read the following two posts with these scriptures

18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

18:4And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.


So often the sin in our life will marr us, destroy us, rob us,hurt us, abuse us, we are truly marred by it, but if we are in the hands of our savior truly he will make us again a new vessel.

If you are reading this and sin has marred your life come back home Jesus is reaching out to you why else would you be reading this. JESUS LOVES YOU! He will help you if you let him please let him into your heart today.

Maybe you are reading this and you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. It only takes a few seconds to change your eternity! Just say Jesus I am a sinner I repent of my sins and I ask you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. in those few seconds you became a child of the king, you went from darkness to light from sinner to saint. You are born again!

If you prayed the sinners prayer and got saved or if you came back to the Lord please let me know you can reach me at nattysdaddy@newwavecomm.net

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
