A BIIIIIIG LOVE

I originally hadn't planned on sharing this but I feel like it needs to be heard before I can write my post on the sermon from Sunday.

To understand how to pour out God's love on people, you have to first understand how much you are loved. It's such a huge topic that covers so many things but you need to know the immensity of it so you can understand the source of the love that you're supposed to pour out in my next post.

God made you on purpose. You might not have been planned or wanted, or maybe you were desperately longed for, but no matter the circumstance, you were not an accident or a lucky incident. The timing, the parents, and your life was on purpose. He made you because he wanted you. He made you because he needs you to help him fulfill his purpose on Earth. He knew you before you were born and had plans for you since the beginning. If you've ever hoped for children, you can only grasp the very tip of the longing God has for you and your life specifically.

Because of his longing and love for you, you are perfect in his eyes. No matter what you do, what you did, what you're thinking about doing, you can't run away from the desire he has for you. He will ALWAYS be there waiting for you with open arms and joy in his eyes. His love for you is so immense that we can't even begin to imagine the depths of it. Our minds are too small to grasp it; I'm afraid if he showed us how much he loves us that our brains would explode ;)

Once you recognize and say yes to his love, it becomes a life force within you. It becomes something you can no longer control and it will flow out of you. It's not something you can contain or stifle; his love living inside you is like a caged animal begging to get out. Love will pour out of you in the form of kindness, forgiveness, gentleness, encouragement and truth. Please ask God to reveal a piece of his love for you and just watch how your life will change.

Reforming Undesirable Behavior

You know that thing you do that you don't wanna do but you keep doing it because you can't stop doing it? These behaviors might include: lying, cheating, raging, gossiping, pornography, drinking, drugs, eating, throwing up, etc. Reforming these behaviors on your own can prove to be a little tricky. I'd say reforming undesirable behavior might even be impossible on your own. But there is still hope for us. With the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit and a renewed mind, you can reform your behavior. Youth conference with lots of God encounters! An encounter with God is the easiest way to reform undesirable behavior because the encounter will fill you with the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord renews our minds in a way that informs our bodies of what's beneficial to our spiritual health in the eyes of God. So, your mouth doesn't want to lie anymore; your tongue won't allow you to eat certain things; your eyes will be opened to the evil of pornogra

Patient for the Promise

Going off the 🏕 grid is really in right now, right? A lot of people are buying 🌳 land, getting a tiny home and moving towards the simple, slow life. It’s exciting and exhilarating and dreams are coming true everyday for people who hope to be self sustained.  Going in faith on a 🗣🙏🏼 word of God is kind of the same feeling. He gives us a vision, a word or a dream that is irresistible. It’s exciting and exhilarating as we think about what He has for us and what it will look like. Our dreams come true as we see His word unfold right in front of us. What we don’t realize when we get started is the 😳 opposition that inevitably pops up along the way. For example, when people dream about living the simple life in the country they see 🌤 sunrises and sunsets with ☕️ coffee on the front porch in a white rocking chair. They see quiet, peaceful evenings spent with the family in the yard. They see baby 🐐 goats and 🐱 kittens frolicking in the barn. That IS a reality of a dream co

The Meaning

My name is Jessica and my husband's name is Jarrod. We believe in God. We also believe in the spiritual gifts. Jarrod is an associate pastor at a small church in our hometown. It is a non-denominational church; by this we mean we are Bible based, spirit filled people who just LOVE enjoying God. We each have very good and close knit families but we also view the church members as our family. We love them like sisters and brothers and really enjoy spending time with them. Everyone has their own passions; some of us share passions. My passions include my husband and dog, teaching math (even though I "retired" last year from the teaching field, I tutor students and use every chance I get to explain math to people), and a good, strong cup of coffee. :) My favorite spiritual gift to learn and practice and be practiced on is prophecy. Prophecies are when God's children ask their Father for a word and hear it through feelings, verses, maybe an audible voice, a thought appe
