A Christ Follower: The Journey

  “The Spitting Image” The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Colossians 1:15a When I was a boy, people could say, “Boy oh boy, you are the spitting image of your Dad!” Now that I am old, once people see my old man pictures, they tell me. ” You look just like Granddaddy or Dad.” I take this as a compliment; however, I can only dream that I come close to this. For my Dad demonstrated the epitome of being a man of character. However, I can share with you something far better. I can tell you what God looks like: He looks like the one who looks like Him. God looks like the only one who was, and is, God in a human body. God looks like Jesus. Examples Here are just a few examples: When you hear or read Jesus teachings, you are hearing or reading about God. When you see Jesus working miracles, it’s a perfect picture of God in action. When you see Jesus defeating Satan, during His trifecta of temptations, you are actually observing God putting Satan in ...

  Proverbs 6:16  - 19 There are six things the Lord hates, actually there are seven that are detestable to Him: Haughty eyes, lying Tongue, hands that shed innocent blood. a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness that pours out lies,  and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Today I am returning to our discussion regarding how to know God's will: In this interaction with you all, who are following this ole SoJourner and Christ Follower, I am sharing ancient wisdom, from God's own wisdom writer. It is wisdom that has served the Creator, in guiding His people, for multiple millennia. While we live in a day where people discount the things of God, this does not change God's perspective on right, wrong, good or evil. It does not change the truth. Here are seven things that go against God's grain of morality. Yes, these are seven things that completely go against God's will.  And God does not provide this to ...

  Refriger-Prayer: What Is It All About! Place Refriger Prayer Here Let me tell you about a special prayer that I have seen God use to transform individual congregations: You see the name above, it is called “ Refriger Prayer ” because you put it on your refrigerator, and every time you go to the refrigerator, you pray this prayer for your local congregation. Or you can take it to the table, and you can pray it over breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or take it with you, and pray it throughout the day. Be sure to keep a copy on your refrigerator to remind yourself to pray and never give up praying.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance .  2 Peter 3: 9 A Bit of A Twist: We have been talking about God's will. Well here is a bit of a twist on this discussion. Let's chat about what God does not want:  I have heard someone say that they don't believe in God's judgement, and I have heard them say, "A loving God will never send anyone to hell."  I have a need to respond to this by saying, God really does no t want anyone going to hell. To say this Peter's way, God does NOT want anyone to perish. Check out what the Apostle Peter is saying above in the second half of verse 9. Here he tells us that God is a patient God. He is patient with you, and He is patient with me. And he says that God provides His patience because He does not want anyone to perish , but He does want everyone to repent. This means He wants people to turn ...

  Therefore, I urge you , brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy , That you present your body as a living sacrifice  -- holy and acceptable unto God -- which is your spiritual act of worship , and do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind . Then, you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good   pleasing and perfect . Romans 12:1-2 As we continue our chat about God's will, from yesterday, we can discover how we can come upon God's will.  Check out the passage above as we unpack the passage below: Step #1: It is urgent we pursue God's will! Step #2: Our merciful God is the one who makes this possible! Step #3: We must make and offering of ourselves to God or surrender our bodies to God! Step #4: As we surrender, God considers you and me as being holy and acceptable.  WOW! Step #5: When we do so, God considers this surrender, our spiritual act of  worship! Step #6: This surrender produces a...

  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 As I sit here at my computer, I wonder, "How many people actually know God's will?" I ask myself this question because knowing God's will is absolutely the most important information any man, woman boy or girl can assimilate into each ones life's journey.  However, I do realize that people, who don't know God, through His Son, Jesus, could care less about connecting with this vital eternal information.  I also know that it's so easy, for even Christ Followers,  to just get caught up with the idolatry of all the technological stuff: We have  Smartphones, not so smart phones,  tablets, computers, flat screen TVs, with their myriad of entertainment packages, Cable News Channels, Snapchat, TiKTok, ROKU, Twitter, Facebook, Fantasy Sports, Video Games, YouTube  (and the list goes on and on.) Sadly, these things can be all consuming, and when we allow our time to be swa...
