"Amazing Grace"

it's about 1:30 A.M.

feeling overwhelmed with the grace of God in my life, this undeserved favor.

listening to "Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)"...

man, God is amazing.

who are we, that God Himself should die for such as us? who are we, that God gives us another day to love, to give joy, to receive joy, give purpose, spread peace, ... another day to live?

how wretched we are to fall for the glitters and glamours of the world....
replacing eternal treasure for expendable, temporary, momentary pleasures. God forgive us.

as the song echoes, "My chains are gone i've been set free

                               my God my Savior has ransomed me"

let's u and i truly b set free Christian... to remind ourselves of this AMAZING GRACE...simply amazing.

and when all feels lowly and unbearable........holdonto the promises of God.

His word will keep you from sin...

otherwise sin will keep u from His word.

stay strong fam

in Jesus name~

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." -God

Praise God.

Christ in me is to live, to die is gain

was listening to the Passion podcast and how they were in Seoul, South Korea the other week and just finished in Tokyo and HongKong this weekend.... as part of their 70 faithful podcast listeners, i have been blessed to hear how this Passion World Tour is not only encouraging the upcoming generations but winning generations to Christ as well.

as u read from my prior update~

when i was "lost" in jersey, i needed encouragement....... and so i put on the podcast and listened to their "Start of Greater Things to Come" which had to do with their time in Seoul.

talking about how incredible the korean people are when in times of prayer and worship... and how LOUD~ 

i was like... "JEA! go KOREA!" =)

but what really touched me was when i heard Chris Tomlin leading "How Great is Our God" in korean~... man, how awesome..... sortof gives u a glimpse of heaven ya kno.... every tongue confess and every nation sing, that Jesus Christ is king, hallelujah!

"The Lord's Day"

1 Corinthians 10:31

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God"

This past Sunday, Pastor Stephen gave a sermon on "The Lord's Day", awesomeness.

i loved how he said God can do more with that 1 day then we can do with all 7.

Some people forget how God demands us to keep the Sabbath holy, even me.

8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

a day to RELAX, REFLECT, and REJOICE!

to relax and take no labor for worldly needs and if we labor, labor in the Lord's work not our own.

to reflect on our week and how we can become more Christ-like than the last, to rejuvenate our souls as we gather with other believers encouraging one another in the faith.

and to REJOICE IN THE WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS AND HIS PRESENCE WHICH DWELLS WITHIN US.... the same power that conquered the grave lives in me, the same love that rescued the earth lives in me. -Hillsong 

hey... God can do more with that one day then we can do with all seven... let's make a stand.

Verse of the week:

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD"

-1Corinthians 10:31
