I invite you all to read this entire thing first of all. It should change your lives. OK, if you have a Bible which all of you should, turn to Galations 3:13. It says, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'"- Galations 3:13. Just think about that for just a second. Ok, well there's some huge questions that all Christians would like answered. One of them being "How do I get forgiveness for what I've done?". Well guess what, whether or not you like it or not, I'm here to tell you that we're all evil!!! We as Christians fell like that when we try there is no hope. But there is no guilt!!! And, I'll tell u why. There are 3 main points in this verse.
1- We are under the CURSE of God's law.
Here's the deal with this.
We are guilty before Him.
We are cindemned by Him.
We are separated from Him.
Our pride is set against Him.
Our hearts are hard toward Him.
Our lives are hopeless without Him.
Now don't quit reading, just because you might be offended at this point.
2- Christ came under the CROSS of God's judgement.
This is the wonderous part.
He covered our guilt.
He endured our condemnation.
He suffered our separation.
His humility overcame our pride.
His gentleness overcame our hardness.
His death overcame our hopelessness.
Now that is just amazing isn't it!!!! There's more.
We try to make our own path to have an everlasting life after death, but there is only one way, and it says it here in the Bible. Reading the Bible won't get you to Heaven, going to Chruch won't get you to Heaven, that's what the devil wants us to think. But guess what!!! He has already taken care of it!!!!!
Death has been swallowed up in victory!!!! Our guilt has been covered with Jesus dying on the tree. He swallowed up the darkness of separation. He did all this for us!!! Without Him we would be hopeless!! But, he brings everything to the table!
3- fnal truth: We now stand within the grasp of God's grace.
This is the magnitude, he gave us the way to Heaven. Without Him there wouldn't be a way to Heaven. Stop trying to make your own path by yourself. That is what separates us from the Lord. He has taken care of us already, you just have to accept it.
These are the 3 options:
1- We can igonre the curse, which is the same thing as following the first set of truths.
2- We can work to overcome the curse, which is believeing in the 1st set of truths and accepting it. Your thinking will be what can I do to overcome them. You won't even believe in the 2nd set.
3- We can EMBRACE the curse and run to the cross.
Death, tsunamis, tornados, disease, suffering, hurt, emotional pain, earthquake, school shootings, wars, these will no longer have sting. Christ has the last word.
Forgiveness is able because of Christ.
Here's what you should do:
Look at all the truths and say "YES!"
Delight in the fact that you are guilty.
But the Cross has already covered your guilt.
LET THE TRUTHS DRIVE YOU TO THE CROSS!!!
So, Are you going to ignore the curse, are you going to work to overcome the curse, or are you going to embrace the curse and run to the cross?
I don't care about your good jobs and nice, I just want you all to learn as much from this as I did. If you want to know more. Let me know.

Well as you know I am 2 days late on this, but nonetheless I'm doing right? Well that is the case here. It's fine now. Well that's not always the case for God. Do you just put off things with him just for social junk and other junk like that. He should be first. You surrendered your life to him, so shouldn't you have TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY. You shouldn't wait or put the Lord off until later, you need to have TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY. He just doesn't say he'll help us later or answer our prayers some other time. No, of course not!! He always has TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY!! If he didn't who could even guess where we'd be now. It would be like a world where nothing had a time on it, just do what you have to whenever. Everything would be corrupt!! So, if the Lord can have TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY, can't we? Don't put him off until later, or just don't go to church because you don't feel like it. That's not what the Lord wants us to do. One more thing about TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY. I know that have us here don't actually act like Christians 24/7 or even anytime, save a few hours on Sundays or Wednesdays. Guys part of our roles as Christians is to have TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY, and that means all the time. So, come on let's get out there and show the world that we our the new nation and we will have TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY, not tomoorow, not later, not Sundays, or just whenever you'll get to it: NOW!!! OUR TIMING AND PUNCTUALITY IS NOW!!!

So last week I talked about God's love for us, right? Well there's something else to it. He Loves us no matter what, so shouldn't we give that same Love back? Well of course the answer is yes!!! "The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:4-5. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37. Well the Lord loves us so much, He created us in his own image. So shouldn't we do the same? Should we not love him in return??? Well we should!!! Not just him but each other to?? The least we can do is follow those rules which we brake so often. He has done so much for us and Loves us so much, it should be our responsibility to love in return and obey. Fe loves us and that's what the Lord wants to happen some day. This is in a song and somewhere in the Bible- "One day every knee will bow, and one day will confess you are Lord." Well as Christians isn't that are job, to be the first ones not wait for the rest of the Lord??!!! Well think about that. We should do that now.

Alright so we all have doubts because there are always things that happen right??? Yeah I know you probably don't want to admit that you have doubts, but you do, right??? Well here's the message of God's love. His love is what separates our religion from all the others! He loves us!!! Does Buddha?? Heck No!!!! Does Abba the sun god, or Raa? No!!! The Lord does what he does for us because he loves us!!! Not sometimes, not when he feels like it, but TODAY, TOMOOROW, AND FORVER: HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!! Here listen to this psalm: to him who alone does great wonders, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. who by his understanding made the heavens, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. who spread out the earth upon the waters, HIS LOVE ENDURES FORVER. who made the grat lights, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. the sun to govern the day, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. the moon and stars to govern the night, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. to him who struckdown the firstborn of Egypt, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. Psalms 136. There's more but you get the point. His Love is what makes our faith the best there is!!! He says in the Bible that He could just let us be dust if he wanted to. But He doesn't let that happen, because His love last TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOREVER: IT ENDURES FOREVER!!! So don't just go thinking that it ever stops, He helps us everyday and his love is what makes everything happen!!! TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOREVER:HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok well sometimes the world is coming to an end for you. You know what I mean right? You know the worst of the worst happens. Well there is a feeling that you probably get at those times in which you might say that the Lord isn't even there for you. you might say MAYBE he just doesn't care, or MAYBE he isn't real. Well I know I used to feel like that almost all the time, everytime I had a problem I would say MAYBE it's no one's fault but the Lord's. But of course I was wrong!!! MAYBE??? Now think about it, why do we use this word? Well MAYBE it's because we might not believe something is going to happen or that we don't want to give a real reason or answer so we use it instead. Well guess what? The Lord, our Savior doesn't use MAYBE!! He doesn't think for one second that MAYBE he doesn't love you and neither should you!! Do you think he sits there with a MAYBE I'll help people later, no! He says YES!! I will love my creations, NO! I will never stop loving and I will help my creations no matter what!!! Well think about this in his plans does he say MAYBE? No, he doesn't say "Oh well maybe I'll make this happen". No he sets a plan for each and everyone of us, and no matter what there is no MAYBE!!!!!

Ok, so i've learned a few things in the past week, and one of the most important that I think I think I should share with all of you is that IT HAPPENS. Well some of you might be like "what do you mean it happens?" Well i'm here to tell you that thing happen for a reason. As tragic as it seems the Lord lets cancer happen, he lets people die. And guess what? IT HAPPENS for the Glory of the Lord on the Most High!!! Everything HAPPENS because that's the way the Lord planned it to. Before any of us were even in existence the Lord planned our futures, he thought of everything!!! Hallelujah!!! IT HAPPENS no matter what you go through just remember there's a reason IT HAPPENS!!!! Now I don't know if any of you went to Winter Jam, but I learned a quote that I will never forget that I think I should share with you. "I believe in sunshine even when the sun isn't shining, I believe in Love even when I can't feel it, and I beleive in God even when I can't see or feel him." Well I think I'll leave it at that. IT HAPPENS, no matter what just remember that IT HAPPENS for the Glory of God, the Lord reigns with everlasting love and guess what one day every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that he is Lord. I promise you that that WILL HAPPEN!!

So everyone knows that anything can happen, right? WHAT IF the sky falls? WHAT IF my dog dies? Well WHAT IF isn't something the Lord likes to use. He doesn't say WHAT IF I don't feel like loving you? There is no WHAT IF the Lord doesn't want to help me in my times of need. No matter what you should never be afraid of the WHAT IF's in life. The Lord will always have a plan for you and will be there for you. WHAT IF is used way to much and when coming from the Lord that love isn't a WHAT IF. WHAT IF to Him is no match for the Lord, because with his undying love for you and everyone he crushes those WHAT IF's. He will see a WHAT IF in terms of his love as an ALWAYS AND FOREVER. So when you read this don't think about WHAT IF, think about WHEN AND ALWAYS.

Alright, now everyone has events whether natural, physical, or even mental that don't turn out so well, right? I know I have, my girlfriend just recently broke up with me. But I'm here for a message. We whether young or old have these things happen and the Lord says IT DOESN'T MATTER. You see the most important thing is a relationship with Christ. When you get to Heaven, which hopefully we all will, will something like a girl breaking up with you matter? No, IT DOESN'T MATTER. If your cat dies, the Lord will say IT DOESN'T MATTER, well at least not as much as the one and only God. Oh and by the way if you know Tobymacsfreak11 she has requested something for this which fits right in, her friend's mom has cancer, and yes i bet all of you are wondering, but THAT DOES MATTER. Yes your right it quite does, but if you think about it whether death takes it's toll or not the righteous one will let you see her again, but in a better place. The Lord has reasons, so IT MATTERS BUT EITHER WAY IT'S GONNA BE OK. So when you read this I hope what you get out of it is there is one thing more important than all those IT DOESN'T MATTER'S, that's God and your relationship with Christ. Hey! And guesss what? THAT DOES MATTER!!!

yeah so i've been here a while and made some friends. so how many times have u been afraid or scared of something? i know i have and i'm not afraid to admit it like when i was 8 i was afraid of the dark, but i overcame it. SOMETIMES fears can get a hold of u, but u must overcome. Now have u ever felt just horrible? SOMETIMES that happens, but u shouldn't blame yourself or anyone else, it's a test of faith. SOMETIMES u might just feel like ending everything, i've been there and SOMETIMES i thought there was no escape, but that SOMETIMES has ended. I mean SOMETIMES life isn't all 2 good, or ur relationship isn't going great, SOMETIMES that happens, but that's ALWAYS alright the Lord is there for u. So that SOMETIMES has diminished to a NEVER because it's alright. So for me those SOMETIMES turn to NOTHING. So instead of the Lord SOMETIMES loving u he ALWAYS loves u! So i forget my SOMETIMES, but for your faith will U SOMETIMES remember this or ALWAYS??
