That's My King!!

That's my King!!! I don't know about you....but my God is a GREAT God!! My King is the King of the Jews, He's the King of Israel.....HE's the KING OF KINGS!!!!!  I guess my question for you today (or rather Dr. S.M. Lockridge's question) is....Do you know Him?!?!?

I mean REALLY know Him?!?!? I don't mean that you have been to church every Sunday, or that you hear about Him on Christmas and Easter...I mean "DO YOU KNOW HIM?!?!?"

I will tell you one thing today.....He is worth getting to know!! Don't become content with your head knowledge of Him...get to know Him!!!

We were talking earlier today about this one ladies blog that we all wanted to follow. But, Tara mentioned that she was so big (as in famous) she wouldn't follow you back. I want to tell you today that no matter how MASSIVE my God is....He WILL follow you back!!!!! The Bible says if you seek Him, you WILL find Him!!! Don't be satisfied with the relationship you have now with God.....Go DEEPER!!!

Honestly, this movie gets me every time. I have probably watched this clip a hundred times. I typed every word out and memorized it all.....and all because I simply REFUSE to settle with what I now know, understand or comprehend of my God!! He is so incredible, you can't descripe, define or really understand Him....if He is that big, don't you thing He has something still bigger for you?!?!?! I don't care if you are the best pastor in the world, or the worst person to every walk this earth, He still has a bigger, deeper, stronger and more awesomely incredible relationship He wants to have with you!!!

Do You Know Him?!?!?!

Going deeper,

Don't Quit!!!

God has created you for this season. Don't grow weary in well doing. Many times we get on fire for the Lord, and we start doing incredible works that are changing lives. But it is all too easy to grow tired, discouraged and weary. We, like Peter, start to look at the great waves and the raging storm around us, and we lose faith and start to doubt. But, today is your day!!

We are created for this season, this day, this year and this lifetime!!! Don't quit!!!! Don't give up!! Stand strong and see the deliverance of the Lord!! We don't have to doubt, fear or become discouraged!! Because greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world!!! Our God does not get tried or grow weary, and we don't have to either. Isaiah 40:31 says "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Like Misty Edwards says "Don't give up, Don't give in, if you don't quit.....you'll win...you'll win!"

Enduring till the end,

For What?!?!?!

Like I talked about earlier, there is a battle raging around us. Last year at Reality my dad and brother talked about this very subject, and I want to relate what I learned.

Why are you living? What are you living for? I mean, what is your one motive that helps you get up in the morning and live your life everyday. What keeps you going, in this battle of life? For What?

In The Chronicles of Narnia, Peter went into war declaring "For Narnia, and for Aslan!!!". But what are you declaring in your everyday battle? Are you crying out for yourself, or are you crying for the Kingdom. Peter could have declared "For our freedom and our happiness!!!", but he didn't. He cried out for the kingdom!!!

What are you living for?!?!?! Are you living for the Kingdom, or for yourself......

For What?!?!?

Living for the Kingdom,

Are you with Me?

There is a battle raging around us. We have a choice for who and what we will live for. The Kingdom of Darkness is ready to destroy us. We have to decide for ourselves, or the decision will be made for us. It's an all or nothing decision.

The Devil is not interested in taking you captive, he wants to kill you. You have the choice of whether or not you are going to let him.                                                                                                                               

Right now God is asking if you are with Him, and the only answer He is interested in is "to the death". But I guarantee you this, when you ask Him the same question, He has already proved His answer by dying for us. He has already won the battle, we just have to decide if we are with Him in the victory.

Mom, ATF and Flame!!!

Soooo....I guess there are some pretty cool advantages to having your mom tour every weekend with ATF (Acquire the Fire). I mean we miss her a lot at home.....but she is doing some awesome stuff while she is gone. I went with her this past weekend to Kansas City. It was a pretty good trip, though it had a few difficulties. One of the best parts though was seeing Flame in concert!! My mom and sister, Kalyn, had already met Flame and even got me a personal note from him!! So i was obviously pretty excited this weekend about seeing him. He had a great concert and he even did my favorite song, but the best part was that I got to meet him personally later. I had what Tara calls a "personal elevator experience" with Flame and his wife!!! haha....good times.....Mom and Kalyn both had a good message, and I got to video Kalyn. Hopefully I didn't ruin it!!! But over all it was a pretty good trip, and the best part is that we were able to be used by God!!! Mom is in Atlanta today, so keep her in your prayers!!

Living in Him,

The 90 year old Man

There once was a man who was rather wealthy. He lived in a beautiful house surrounded by a magnificent yard. However as he started to get older and his health started to decline, he was forced to move into an old and rather plain nursing home. The day he was moved into the nursing home, he met a man he knew from a while back. The nurse was pushing him in his wheelchair, and he began to talk to this man. The man asked him how he liked his room, and he immediantly expressed his delight with his accomadations. They finished their conversation and the nurse wheeled him back down the hallway. The nurse was quietly pondering something, and then hesitantly broached the subject. She said "Sir, no offense, but you just told that man how much you loved your room, and you haven't even see it yet.", He responded with a smile and said "I know, but i have already decided that I love it!".

I was reminded of this story today, and what a powerful concept it represented. We have the choice of how we are going to respond to the situations around us. We, like the man in the story, can decide early on that no matter what happens, we are going to love the results. If we do that, we can live a life of so much joy, peace and contentment no matter what our circumstances look like!!!

Loving Life from the Beginning,

Not of this World

Recently I have been reminded that we as Christians, are not of this world. God has redeemed us and we are His sons(and daughters). We should not become involved in "civilian" affairs. We are to be "in the world, but not of the world". We should reach out and help people out of the darkness, but we should not join the darkness to do it. We have a Savior and "Hero" who has saved us and we need to work, function and live in His Kingdom, not the Kingdom of this world. As Trip Lee puts it, we are "Between Two Worlds." We live and breath in one world, while we operate out of another.

Trip Lee has a new album called "Between Two Worlds which helps summarize this...Check out His new video "The Invasion (Hero)"
