This morning I went to Early Morning prayer at the annex. I got like this big revelation SOOOO I'm gonna blog about it.

So I first got there and I was ready to go to sleep because it was still the butt crack of dawn. But I decided to go pray. So I did and God told me to go look up Jeremiah 3:19 so I did and it says this.

"I thought to myself, "I would love to treat you as my own children!" I wanted nothing more than to give you this beautiful land-the finest inheritance in the world. I looked forward to you calling me "Father" and I thought you would never turn away from me again"

If you want a verse that convicts and compels that's it right there. To think God actually looked forward to us Crying out to him, to us saying we love him, to us saying we belong to him and he gives us so much trust and we take advantage of it every time.

This verse when I read it I was like *ouch* it just convicts you and then compels you to basically give God what he wants to never turn away from him again.

Well after that little thing there I was looking around and I saw a advertisement sign on the wall for Pastor Dino's book "Turning Points" and at the bottom it said really big "AVAILABLE NOW" and I thought about how you go to Wal-Mart and you see the movies, Cd's, Toys, Gadgets, just about anything is "Available Now" and I thought when Jesus died on the cross God put a big sign on himself that said "AVAILABLE NOW" and it's never gonna out date, expire, be replaced, nothing, it's going to stay the same then, now, and forever.

Finally I thought how we're are so quick to tell people about the new pants, shoes, shirts, glasses, belt, or anything we got because we think it's pretty cool. I know I do that I'll be like hey check out what I got and how good of a deal I got on it. but for some reason us as humans we hesitate to tell people about the Love we got for free from Jesus. It's the best deal in the world it's not 20, 50, or 75% off it's free. No hidden fee's, No Monthly Interest, NOTHING. We get basically a wonderful awesome crib in heaven that beats any of 50 Cent, P-Diddy, or Lil Jon's $500 million dollar houses. Because you know what they may have all this valuable stuff but the possessions the love, the power we get through Christ is priceless and nothing will ever change that. SO that's what I got today so I'm gonna go help My Hero "Tyler Tullos" do whatever he needs me to do. So yeah PEACE






Love,

I don't really even know you, but that doesn't matter. I'm always amazed by the stuff God gives you. I long for the day I to get revelations like that from God. I know it's all available to me at any time, but sometimes I guess I don't receive everything God has for me. Sometimes I even believe the lie that I don't need anything else than what God has already given me. I know there's so much more but sometimes it's hard to accept or something.(not sure if it makes sense.) I don't know if I'm in doubt that there is more or that God can give me more. You have some GREAT thoughts!
