The god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus sake.
Blind stab again today!
I'm gonna break this one down and see where i end up...
The god of this age--this is not speaking of GOD this is speaking of money.
Has blinded the minds of unbelievers--if you do not believe in Jesus Christ you are blind
So that they cannot see--those that don't believe are missing
the light of the Gospel--the gospel has a light
of the glory of Christ--there is glory in our savior he is the light
who is the image of God--Jesus Christ is made in the image of God
For we do not preach ourselves--we do not/should not speak about our greatness
but Jesus Christ as Lord-- instead we speak about His greatness
and ourselves as your servants for Jesus sake--we are here to serve God because of the sacrifice at the cross!
WHAT I AM HEARING---If you are a believer if you understand that the gospels have brought us knowledge of our savior Jesus--you will not be blinded by false gods(money, fame, fashion etc)
The sad thing is that often believers are blinded by these things.
A believer should not talk about their own greatness but instead about the greatness of Jesus who was made in the image of God.
The sad thing is ...I don't even need to say it...right??
The great thing is god loves us even though we mess it up, even though we are broken and greedy and selfish and let money run our life's...
God loves even the ones who choose to not believe in HIM...
I choose to believe...i cannot turn back from where I have been...things are no longer the same for me...the light has penetrated my soul and I never want to be without it again!
I would love my parents to be healed. I pray Lord that my dad will wake up healed of his tumor--that it will be gone from him--a miracle. My parents would have no choice but to believe...i pray a friend from high school Ashley who is fighting cancer will have the strength to conquer this disease I pray she would know you Lord that she would feel your presence as she has major surgery to remove the cancer from her body...
So many hurting people who don't believe and I pray for soft hearts...
I love my life...I thank you for the thousands of blessing that I receive daily...
Goodnight--mommaavila

VERSE OF THE DAY
We live by faith, not by sight 2 Corinthians 5:7
This is my verse for the day and what I hear it saying to me is HAVE FAITH--we may not be able to see the end result of things, we may not be able to see how it is all gonna work out, we may not like the way it is looking, blah blah blah...the point is to have faith even in these ugly times. If we go off what we see we will be lost. Faith is the only thing that we can count on.
I am praying that the people closest to me will know the Lord. Truly know his love. Truly know that He is the key to unlocking our heart of the depression and disappointments. He is the only one who can handle all the hurt we feel and He wants to hold us in our depression and disappointments. He can heal. He wants to share the burden. He wants to take!! Jen &Dan in my prayers tonight! I pray they come to church tomorrow!
Goodnight!

I'm in a new pot ---its scary!!!
Ok so I got to talk to Shellie tonight and she helped me so much! (praise God)
Lately I have been feeling lonely, afraid and insecure. Shellie helped me understand the reason I have been feeling this way.
I hope I can explain it well. I'll try...
When I became a follower of Christ --I began to grow. My roots and all became too big for the pot I was in. I needed to be transported into a new pot because I was going to die if I stayed in my old pot. . .So now as I have been put in this new pot I cannot feel the edges, I do not know the boundaries, it is exciting because I have all this room to grow--but it is scary! The old pot was getting a bit cramped but I knew my boundaries --I knew my place. I was comfortable there. God has so much more to teach me and I want to learn--I want to continue growing . But it feels a bit lonely and scary right now.
This visual is totally helping me understand my feelings and I am excited to see where God is taking me!!
My verse for the day is...He summons his picked troops, yet they stumble on their way. They dash to the city wall; the protective shield is put in place.
God I pray that you protect my heart. I pray that I can have open hands and a protected heart. I pray that when I am attacked by the evil one that your hand is over my heart. I pray that in times of trials I allow you to be at work in my heart. I pray that when I am tested I can allow the holy spirit to flow through me and that I can pass the test in love. Thank you lord for loving me as I stand before you broken and shamed! Thank you, Thank you Thank you! AMEN
Goodnight my friends--momma avila
