Be there!

BAM - watch them every Tuesday night on our Facebook page. This Week the Jezebel Spirit… and not just women have it. 

 

August Friday and Saturday 16th 17th End times conference at HillSpring Church sponsored by The David Alliance, 

 

Oh I did it… and it was embarrassing… but the truth is I wasn’t there… Oh I was there… but truth be told, I wasn’t truly there.

 

Doing a wedding… for the first 5 minutes the couple seemed uncomfortable… 

I was reading my wedding script… and using the names from the couple I had married a few weeks before… 

 

Gunther - Gebel Williams one of the all time greatest animal trainers ever was asked what is the most important advice he could give his son who is following in his footsteps… getting ready to pursue a career in lion taming. He simply said “be there”. What did he mean… he meant be there not just physically, but mentally. When you are in the ring with literally man eating animals… you can’t get caught up with the crying kid in the 4th row, the good looking woman in the provocative red dress in the first row. You can’t let the lights, the sound the the yelling vendors to distract you.

NOW what if we took this to our world. Where ever you are don’t let it distract you mentally and Spiritually. 

 

When you are at church you can be happy and satisfied that you are there… you made it. But are you there mentally? Are you there spiritually? Are you THERE! What does God want to do right then and there…

 

Isaiah 43:18-19“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

 

Eph. 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

 

Careful/how you live - GK distinctly and with exactness perceive to discern… but for what? To know how to live…

That seems pretty important!

 

What if you simply asked God to start to teach you what is going on… in every area, every day, every way.

Ask yourself God help me discern with exactness what is going on in politics, Israel, College Campus’s. 

Help me perceive what is going on in my son’s life. My wife’s life, my boss’s life. 

Help me understand and perceive with distinct detail why I think and feel this way about my pastor, my father…

Help me understand why I am afraid of this… why I have a low self esteem, or feel volatile or I lash out….

As God starts to show you with exact detail and insight you can than begin to ask him to help you change… You can ask him how this can make you more like his son.
