Upcoming Events:             Thursday Nights Prayer ( Men and Women allowed ) 6:30 @ The Lords House, Men’s Breakfast Saturday Morning 8:00 AM, Joshua Shares in a few weeks ( TBA )                                “Living through my heart, love, and obedience”                               ( Living in His name:  The Head Vs. The heart Part 2 ) What is God accomplishing in our Lives? What evidence is in your life that Christ is with you? Does your heart belong to God?   Good doesn’t exist without evil.  Light can’t exist without Darkness.        “If your heart isn’t open to God’s, it’s open for Satan.” KNOW YOUR SALVATION ( learn to have faith to KNOW for SURE ) Genesis 22: 15 – 18 ¹⁵ The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time ¹⁶ and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, ¹⁷ I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, ¹⁸ and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed  me.” “ You will be blessed because you have obeyed HIS voice” Deuteronomy 10: 12 “ And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, “ ~ Be Obedient to the God that lives in You. Obedience releases the Lord into your life, and true obedience comes from the heart not the head.  True desire and passion come from the heart not the head.  ( I believe that “The heart” refers to one’s soul ) John 14: 20 –21 “ On that day you will realize that I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.”  “Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him” God is released into my life every time I chose to obey.  Evidence of God with me shown to you through your obedience,  show peace and rest in one’s soul.  Do you know where you’re going?  Do you sense his presence? When God gives you a gift, what are you going to do with it?  Obedience to God is to use/share your gift.  NOT using your gift, your ministry that God put upon you is disobedience.  THINK WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST. 1 John 5: 3 – “This is love for God: to obey His commands.  And His commands are not burdensome.” Put effort even towards the smallest of things that express Faith and duty towards God.  Listen to the lord in your heart, as long as follow your Faith in God.  Should I go to church today?  Should I go to work today? Should I stay home and spend time with my family today?  Am I not able to make it to church?   Listen to the Lord in your heart, follow YOUR FAITH in GOD. God accepts you just as you are, but He does not intend for you to stay as you are once you accept him, grow and learn in Him.  He is in me to change and clean up those things to glorify him as Lord and Savior. God shows everyone the key, and through your obedience He unlocks your heart ( your soul ) to His glory  “Have your way with me and have me do what you desire”                                                      THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.                                                                                                 “ . . . groovy ”
