An unexpected Journey: Salvation

I have thought a lot about all of the things I need to do as I come home for a month and half-ish. I need to raise a lot of money, find a home, get a car, fill a house with the essentials, spend time with family and friends, and so on....

Before coming home God revealed to me another meaning of my name. You can find it on the internet. I'll save you the trouble: One who God will bring into freedom.

God brought me back to GA because he had some more heart work to do, some more character development if you would say.

God will take care of the things I need. He is a good father and he knows about my needs. Especially when I seek His kingdom.

BUT

I think God is way more interested in my heart and character than anything else.

I really love that. 

Bible Times

^{Mark 6:30} The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. ³¹ Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

In the scripture mentioned above Jesus is telling the disciples to find a desolate place. In the midst of my task on the base I feel I've been called into a quiet place for five weeks to really press into the Bible: To memorize, meditate, and study.

I won't write a long and drawn out text of what I have learned, but I will make quick concise points:

*I am bought with a price (1 Cor 6:20)
*I am in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:30)
*I am called according to His purpose (Rom 8:30)
*I am called to His eternal glory (1 Peter 5:10)
*I am God's field (1 Cor 3:9)
*I am God's building (1 Cor 3:9)
*I am a branch connected into the Vine Jesus Christ and His life flows through me (John 15:5)

*I am Christ's (1 Cor 3:23)  
*I am the temple of the Lord and the Holy Spirit dwells within me (1 Cor 3:16, 6:19, 2 Cor 6:16, John 14:7)
*I am one who has the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16)
*I am one who has been freely given all things through Christ (Rom 8:32, 1 Cor 3:21)
*I am not my own (1 Cor 6:19)

I've discovered these are profound truths that remove lies from the Devil about who we are. We are suppose to live these truths out daily, imagine if you did. I challenge you to prayerfully consider the above truths and discover the truths about yourself, who God has made you to be, and get rid of the nonsense you believe about yourself.

The following truth is a good one to fill your heart with and meditate on: I am free from the control of man (1 Cor 9:19). Jesus was not stopped by fear of man, but was a man who was totally reckless for God. 

Royality

Click on the link below to take a character test. It is about being a prince or a pauper. As I have read through Job and Proverbs I have seen God's sense of royalty, righteousness, honor, and justice. Do we maintain our own lives with the discipline and character that a prince shows?
