Walk with me as I "Follow the Fish"...JESUS!!!

Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." Taken from Google Images This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver....

How to be an overcomer - there should be constant moving forward. Revelation 12:10-11 You overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony. The blood of Christ redefines you. By yourself you are broken and messed up. The blood of Christ covers, you go from unrighteous, unworthy to righteous and worth. The blood of Christ is payment for sin. A righteous God needs that payment for our sin that needs to be paid for. No blood = no restoration between her and God. The word of our testimony is 2 parts 1) to the truth that I know about Christ, He is who He says He is. 2) I can testify by what He's done in me. What are we overcoming? The wages of sin...I was seperated from God but the blood of the Lamb paid for my sins. The blood covers me. Romans 10:9-10 There is an accuser that stands before God accusing you. Don't accuse yourself of your own accusations of yourself. You have bern given the blood of Christ. 2 Corinthians 7:10 don't miss when the Hol...

It's been a while since I told you of my Dyson purchase. After performing a ton of reviews before I purchased mine...I thought I'd give an honest review to you! I searched HIGH and LOW for the Dyson DC25 Animal. I happened upon scam after scam on Craigslist with a lady who kept trying to get me to go to another site and bid on one at an auction. Photo courtesy once again thanks to Best Buy. I read many reviews about the "Ball" being hard to manuver and handle. I have not found it to be an issue at all. I actually like the manuverability of it. I have purchased at least 5 vaccuum cleaners in the last 10 years...one of them was even a Rainbow...though it was excellent at cleaning...I hated lugging it around and ended up giving it away within 6 months...that was $1800 out the window. :( The best vaccuum that I had up until this current time was the one that Consumer Reports rated #1 - The Hoover WindTunnel (with a bag). That was such a great vacuum that we bou...

You have been called to do a work. Individually, corporately, in the community john 3:3-7 Jesus came back to restore people to be righteous. We are ALL called to evangelize There are 3 types of evangelism: Matt 5:14-16 Lifestyle evangelism We should see the love of God operating in our lives. Matthew 8 Opportunistict evangelism - moments in time in your life when you are prompted to vocal/verbal evangelism. Acts 7 Declaration evangelism - speak against wrong via the truth of God. Declare the goodness & righteousness of God but speak up against what the Bible says is wrong.

Open yourself up to 'recieve' in ways other than your paycheck - pray that God will bring it in in other/multiple sources. Step out IN the provision. Trust God in it and believe God OUTSIDE of the paycheck!!! The word was designed to call us to action!!! You are called to do good works!!! James 1:22-25 Don't just be hearers of the word be doers of the word. How do you do the word, internalize it, and DO it? God has given me a personal word. (Acts 1, "Go and wait for the Holy Spirit," they were together and praying for 40 days - be as 1, love one another, serve 1 another. The Holy Spirit decends upon them, they speak with other tongues then they go out into the streets and preach) Every one of us has been given a word directly, there is a corporate word - how do we function as a church, there is a community word commanding us to go and tell. What kind of word do we get indiviually? Matt 16:24 the first word to be walked out is Lordship. (I'm God, you ...

Surviving the Elements (after today we pray you won't go through storms the same way again. ) To survive the elements you need: Food Water Shelter You need these in the natural & the supernatural. Food= God's word - you will die without it. Heb 4:12;John 6:63; isaiah 55:11; John 1:1-2; Matt 24:35; Numbers 23:19 - when you stray away from the word you become an anorexic christian. Matt 4; mark 1; luke 4 - How Jesus stood against the devil Make a scripture list of topics of the things you are fighting against and everyday you pray, speak & believe that word. Matt 12:43-45 The danger of being empty - the devil comes back to tempt you in that area and brings evil back 7 times greater. The only power the enemy has is lies, manipulation and deception. Speak things out and it happens. Rebuke those lies from the devil. Col 2:13-15 Water = the Holy Spirit - illuminates the word - lack of water or the Holy Spirit can cause a dehydrated christian. (lethargic, dizz...

The company you keep and the relationships that you have are going to play a role in your life and walk with God. Alliance with the Holy Spirit - 1) the baptism of the Holy Spirit is only an introduction to Him. The Lord doesn't want us to live day to day without the Holy Spirit...He wants you to have a REAL relationship with Him. The person of the Holy Spirit wants you to know Him more. God wants you to go deeper with your relationship with the Holy Spirit. You need to depend more on the Holy Spirit. The Helper is on the inside of you...don't LIMIT the Holy Spirit. You can limit God's work in you but you shouldn't. Don't let anything hinder the Holy Spirit. Do you believe the word of God more than your external circumstances? The Spirit of the Living God is on the inside of you. John 16:7 Talk to the Holy Spirit FIRST! Pray in tongues about it! 1 John 2:20 Pray in tongues MORE!!! The Holy Spirit is your comforter. Just because you don't see the Holy S...
