Dedicating Gods Children
Home Bible Study - Prov Chapter 1 Main Text: Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6 Sunday the 27th, at are morning services we had a baby Dedication. It's always great to see parents who love The Lord, dedicate their children back to The Lord. As we all know parents and older Guardians were placed on this earth, to teach and show as young youth and children the right way of living (the way God intended them to live). On the 29th I was reading Proverbs cp1, from my new 'Modern Life Study Bible' and I realised how important we truly are to God. I mean I always knew how much he cared for us. But without him, the help of godly parents and people around us. We would be lost. (It's like saying the sinners prayer and not reading your bible for the guides we need on earth). The fear of The Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:8) God did not create as to look like fool, in his eyes. But the fools are the fallen ones. The lost souls who need Jesus; might not know Jesus, or just don't want anything to do with Jesus. Many people around the world was brought up with a way of living. Some were brought up to be lost, and follow what they knew which was right and normal (the same way their parents were brought up). Everyone was not born to be brought up as a Christian from birth. Were all sinners. But God did interned for us to have Godly parents. Parents with wisdom and parents who would teach as wisdom. Throughout the bible the word 'Wisdom' is used 67 times. 40 times in Proverbs and 27 in Ecclesiastes. In Hebrew 'Chokmah' means "The Skill Of Living". That is a practical wisdom that details how to lead a responsible, productive and prosper to our life's. The focus is not so much on what we know but on what we do. "A wise person avoids evil". As the fathers would pass down the wisdom from their fathers to their sons (Prov 1:8; 2:1; 3:1, 11, 21; 4:1) we should do the same. So as men and woman of God we should pass down the wisdom we already have, to the lost. To the wonders without a mother or father to guide them. When a new Christian walks in, don't be scared to greet them. Help them on the journey (of being a new believer). These fathers had the fear of God so much, their didn't want anything to happen to the next generation. Meaning 'The Fear of God' - When I first became a Christian, I was scared that the fear of God meant that "Oh no I should be scared, because if I do something bad, he's gonna kill me. Or do something bad". But that's not what it means. The right meaning is honouring The Lord first and others (and things) second. Then we will be blessed with wisdom. "How do we know if we have wisdom?" - Well in order to better prepare these men for manhood, their fathers warned them about traps that commonly ensnare young men and woman. 1. Sexual temptation (5:15-20; 7:1-27) 2. Foolishness (12:15,16) 3. Ill gotten gain (10:2; 15:11) 4. Verbal abuse (13:2, 3; 15:1) 5. Strong drink (31:4) 6. Pride or selfish ambition (16:1-9) Without godly parents and older Christians with wisdom. Are life's would be in a trap to the world. We need to follow God and his ways. He doesn't want you to die, but live with wisdom. Just like the parents who Dedicated their Children to The Lord. Help your self today. Dedicate your life to Christ and your child. Power verse: Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” (Genesis 22:2 NKJV) Dear Jesus I thank you for setting these rule to are parents, to guide and teach us he right way of living. Without them we would be lost. Even wouldn't know who your are, and know the love and care you have for us. I pray that I can be that parent one day, but for now I pray I can show a new believe the wisdom you have showed me. Amen.
I never knew, that moment would have anything to do with my life today.
Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Ten years ago, I said a simple prayer. The sinners prayer, and accepted Christ into my heart. I was only nine so I truly never knew what I was doing nor saying. But I knew that living to Gods commandments and living out the prayer I said. Everything would look good in Gods eyes.
Fast forward 8 years, I still knew my rights and my wrongs (The Ten Commandments). Never when party’s, never stayed out late, didn’t sleep around (outside of marrage). You could say i was a good person. (But good works don’t get you into heaven if you don’t have Jesus). But I would lie and disobey my mum. So I Brocken two from the ten.
So maybe if I dead then and now, I wouldn’t see the kingdom of heaven. Last night I remembered that moment, a moment I haven thought about in years.
Theres always moments we try to forget, and others we wanna remember. But that moment in my life I shouldn’t forget. Really and truly any good nor bad moment we should remember. God puts us though the rain and the shine for a reason. And only he is the one with the key of reason. But if we stay strong, God will finally give as the key and all the questions we're wanting to ask him, will be asked. It’s also your TESTIMONY.
Only now I realise that, God had a plan for me from birth, to the simple pray when I was 9, to now and the future. It hasn’t been a easy run. But I’m still here. Living to tell the tell of Jesus. And how amazing he is.
God has a plan for all of us. Sometimes it takes longer than other to receive the blessing. But your time is coming. Very soon.
Dear God, thank you for life. For your sons life. And the cross. Where would we be without both of your love and care. I pray for the moment in my life, 10 years ago when I said that pray. Please make me never forget it. Thank you for a new day everyday. Amen.
Closing on a good note
Main text: (Revelation 3:8 ESV) “I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Everyone knows the part when Alice fell down the rabbit hole, from the movie Alice in wonderland. After landing from the fall she’s found in a small room with a pieces of cake labeled EAT ME, a drink labeled DRINK ME, a key and many doors. She try’s to open all the doors, but they wouldn’t open without a key. After trying all the doors which was her size, she found a small door which only fit her head and one arm. This was the only door what opened, with the key she found on the glass table.
Looking deep into that one part of the movie I saw the meaning of how the EAT ME cake, the DRINK ME drink, the many doors and one key on the glass table can mean something in Christian life.
1. EAT ME: When Alice ate the cake she grow big. That shows when were born again, we’re at are normal size. Only starting to get to know who God is to us. So though out are walk were growing strong, more big and spiritual in Christ.
2. DRINK ME: When Alice drunk the drink she would turn smaller than her normal size. That shows when we open doors which we were not meant to open, the disappointment comes at the end of that closing door. We find are self feeling small, and having to eat little small pieces of cake to grow again (reading the bible). (That’s asking God forgiveness, reading your bible and remembering that you don’t need to start again. Just close that door and move forward).
3. THE KEY: Alice found the key on the table. She tried all the other doors, but the door which opened was the one which made her small. I mean your not gonna know which doors are the doors to open. But don’t open a door because you wanted to. Or a door you found easy to open. God knows the perfect time, for you to pick up that key and to open that door.
4. THE DOORS: At the end of the rabbit hole Alice found many doors. She wanted to get out. Be free from the place she was in. There’s times when the rain would be falling. Or your sitting in a dark place. So you want that light at the end of the tunnel. A open door to happiness. But you wouldn’t wait for Gods perfect timing. You would open that door at your own timing. And that’s not gonna bring you happiness unless it was from God.
At the end Alice turned small and finally got though the door. She was welcomed by friends. After her ups and downs she was welcomed by her old friends. They may remember her, but sometimes it’s hard to run to the friends who care the most for you. But they will always be there for you. Like the white rabbit looking out, looking over you. And thats God. We might not see him, feel him. But he’s there.
Why open a door which was never meant to be opened. Just wait for Gods perfect timing. And he will give you the key - SHELBY.M.FULLER 12th May 2014 - God wants us to open the small doors first. And when he knows we can handy the small things (doors). He will give as the keys for the big doors.
Dear God, I pray for the doors which are in my life. The open and closed doors. I pray that I can just wait for your timing. And not go upon my own timing. Amen.
God woke me up with a call about chicken.
This happened at 04:35AM Sunday 23rd March 2014 Main quote: “This is what brought you here!”
Early in the morning I was woken up by a unknown number. I answered it thinking it could be someone from church, needing help. (It’s happened before). When I answered it, there was a person saying they were outside, with my chicken Order. Right now its sounds funny, but at the time I wasn’t scared, because I knew the God I serve. I was just annoyed. (I hate waking up at 10AM, imagine me at 4:00AM in the morning). I hanged up thinking it was someone with my number, calling at silly times of the morning. But my phone would continue to go off. Not twice, but I think 4 times altogether. So I decided to turn off my phone. After I started to pray. Saying: “Lord I’m tired, I just came from a impact team yesterday. I might not of done the best job. But I never had to get up today and go. I even street peached for the first time in a long time. I cover my house with your blood, my mum and even my neighbours. I’m tired, I haven had the best week I wanted. So I don’t need this…” I was telling off God, because I wasn’t in the mood for rubbish. I carried on praying for the house to be covered in the blood of Jesus around the house and the streets. I even try tell off the devil. When I finished, I tried to go back to sleep. With the sound of my radio in the background. A couple of minutes later, I couldn’t sleep. The fear of who this person truly was still rolled though my mind, but mostly in my heart. At first I was telling myself that the feeling I was feeling wasn’t fear. But just anger, and upset for someone waking me up from a nice sleep and dream I was having. So I started playing my music, then I started to play my bible on audio. I was playing from Proverbs 22. It was playing normally until chapter 28. it annoyed me again. Because my bible audio was acting up, before it was so perfect. So I Decided to listen to my music again. Take over by Tye Tribbett started playing, I was singing along to it, then I started to talk to God again. But this time wasn’t about the phone call, but the relationship I have with Him. I started praying how I was gonna always run this race, and do better. Then I started talking about the bible. realising how close God really was, though his book. And how heaven would have only one book in it's library, and the bible would be made out of Gold. And God would take me there, but the words which came next out of my mouth were words I would never forget. “This is what brought you here!” Them 6 words made me start to cry, not only was it nice and peaceful to hear but true. Don’t every pastor, person of Christ tell a new person to read there bible. Read the word of God. Of course saying the pray can wash away your sins and have your name written in the book of life, but the bible will do so much more for your life on earth. I’m not gonna lie but I don’t read my bible how I should. I would wake up, make breakfast and focus my whole day to movies. Worldly stuff, but not even get a pieces of God for myself. I was so blind, God was shouting out to me. In every corner of my room and house. And I was so blind and deff to hear him. I would always be crying about my problems. But I would be so deff, to know that God was crying out to me also.
Looking back at this funny and crazy moment, I now see that The only way for God to get my attention was for a random phone call, from someone saying there at my door with chicken. Who really orders chicken at that time. Who would want to. But God was knocking, calling at my hearts door for a very long time. I might of answered once before. But I stop and turnt him off. Just like my phone. And if I didn’t turn my phone back on. I wouldn’t of got this revelation to write this now.
I thank you God for waking me up hours of the night, trying to get your tears out. I’m happy your a god which cares. And who cries to be heard. Thank you for a beautiful night/morning. I’m awake now lol. Amen.
14th, 15th and 16th December 2013 - Now that Christmas is drawing near, we shouldn't forget. The true meaning behind it.
Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
12th & 13th December 2013 - Sometimes we might be late to write a post, or late to meet a friend. But God is never late. He knows every right timing, best for us. And the most greatest time, was the birth of his son.
Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
11 December 2013 - Let's give thanks everyday until Christmas for Jesus life and for what he done for us. And after that day we should still give him thanks, because when his life was taken, he gave as life.
Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
" 10th December 2013 " -

Henry Battle, a.k.a. Hbatto, a Californian native and well traveled Air Force veteran, now rooted in Atlanta GA, describes his style as richly realistic figurative snapshots of life. His subject matter ranges from spiritual and family-oriented, to romantic moments that he freezes in time. After feeling the passion of his subjects from a distance, he wants the viewer to walk up close and be drawn into the detail of it, discovering a bit more each time. Henry produced his first artwork a limited edition, colored pencil drawing entitled Last Single Thoughts while stationed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany in 1991. With a strong spiritual base, he believes art is not only his gift from God, but also his assignment to capture and portray positive spirited images of life. He gains inspiration from the talents he observes in others lifting their gifts to the highest highs. Never content, Henry spends many hours daily polishing his style, creativity and vision, to further his ability to portray images in the best possible way, delivering collectors of his works sustained value long after their initial purchase. http://www.henryleebattle.com/
Today is another day. Another new week. Another Monday. We should give thanks to God for another week he has given us. Last week he open and closed doors. Showed us his blessings, and shown us what he can do though are life's to help others and are selfs. I wanna thank God for blessing me in the way he has. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today and where I am today. Amen.
" 9th December 2013 - What does the Christmas tree represent to Jesus Christ? "
Looking at pictures and seeing friends, families and neighbour put up their Christmas trees and lights. I wanted to understand, more about the history of the tree... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1544250/posts The evergreen fir tree is a sign of hope throughout the winter season--hope in the promise that the rest of nature too will awaken to new life in the coming spring. The message of this symbolism was simple: through Jesus Christ we too have hope for everlasting life. Indeed, Jesus Christ has become our tree of life--the paradise tree. As such the evergreen Christmas tree reminds us that even though our earthly season must come to an end, yet we will live through the grace of our Lord Jesus. The lights in the Christmas tree also have a deeper meaning. Originally the lights used were candles, of course. The candles too were meant to symbolize Christ, specifically his self-giving love and gift of life to us. As many of us know, the candle provides light and warmth as it consumes its own substance, the wax. So, too, did Jesus give of his own substance--his life--so that we might find divine light. And when we have found divine light for ourselves, we too are enabled through the power of the Holy Spirit to give of ourselves to others. After all, Christmas is the feast of love, where we share gifts with each other as Christ shared the gift of life with us. — Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
8th December 2013 - Sometimes I wish I was alive in the years Jesus was alive. Would be great to touch his hands and walk and talk with him. However I wasn't born when he was alive, but I know that one day I will get to do all them great things with him, because he was born on Christmas Day to died on the cross for me and you.
Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
7th December 2013 - Just imagine where we would be without Jesus Christ... Still having to sacrifice good, healthily lambs, Asking for Gods forgiveness.
Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
"If I had my time over I would do the same again. So would any man who dares call himself a man." - Nelson Mandela Yesterday at the age of 95, South Africa and the world lost a hero. The man who saved his people, from pain and suffering. He was like Jesus and Joseph in the bible. He was in prison for many years, but nothing made him give up hope. Nelson is a man we should never forget. A man we should look up to, because he was a man who looked up to God also. Let's pray for his lost, celebrate in joy for his life. And pray for his family who are grieving the lost of a father, grandfather, and hero.
My week hasn't been the best, but God has came though. Many ups and many downs. There's times when I feel like I have no one around me, but I have many. But it's the problem of trust. How could my close friend, not tell when something's up. Or even care to ask. However though my lost of friendship, and caring. I become a friend to others, and a person they can talk too. Though my sad times, making people happy gave me joy, to go on. Life is hard, but God got us though this week. And will continue to get though In the weekend. Power Verse: The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.(Psalms 28:7 NKJV) Lord I Thank you, for another day and week you haven show and given to me. I pray for the battles we go though. Which will make as stronger. Continue to use me for your will. Helping and encouraging people, to stay on the right road, to the kingdom. Always strength us though the bad times. Amen.
6th December 2013 - Sometimes we see life as a hard struggle, but remember Jesus getting ready to be put on the bloodily cross, to die. When he was born, do you ever wonder what Jesus always thought to himself growing up. Maybe he wanted to be like Josph, or get married. But never to be born to die.
Each day is another day to when Christ was born.
