So I’ve got a theory, when my buddy was a kid his parents would always get him things to show they loved him. So at the time it was awesome for him. But as he got older he realized he actually just wanted their love. I mean they loved him but they just did not know how to show it. When they would got him stuff they would say later “I did this for you now go do this for me.”
It’s the same God does not just want our Sunday’s or half of us, but the whole package.
Why do we hold back?
Today I was asked how much my church back home evangelizes on the street 1 out of 10 ten being the a ton of times. I sadly had to give them a 2.
What about your church?
If not so much what are you going to do about it?
Why do we make other things more important than the spreading the word of God?
Why do we have passion or a testimony if we don’t use it?
What is your passion? And does it drive you/ push you to be better?
Why do we want to conform to the world when they all hate us? Do we truly know that hell is REAL? It is our job to redirect traffic.
Matthew 28:18-20 ( NLT )
“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Acts 26:16-18 ( NLT )
“Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. You are to tell the world what you have seen and what I will show you in the future.
And I will rescue you from both your own people and the Gentiles. Yes, I am sending you to the Gentiles
to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me.”
Some people think its ok to just be an “ok Christian”. Well I’m here to tell you it’s not… Gods called us to be so much more. Let’s get out side of the 4 walls of the church and tell people about Christ about His awesome love and grace.
What’s stopping you?

So Easily Hinders Us
In March 18th I was really down because I had screwed up big time. And it just occurred that all the devil has is a tape recorder. What I mean is all the devil dose and can do is try to make you stumble over the same things over and over.
Well I’m very sick of it, Lets stand right now! Rid yourself of all that so easily hinders us.
Hebrews 12:1 ( NLT )
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”
The sin that so easily hinders us, if we just did this than the devil would have anymore tapes to play and besides prayer I think the devil is deathly afraid of losing that control over us. I mean he’s going to keep tempting you but stay strong!! Fight it!!
Sin will not have me; I won’t let it control me!
If you fall get back up
I believe us as Christians a called to show people Christ worth it is to suffer, to push to persevere.
How do we expect to have strong enough faith if we fail so easily?

Unite
So June 9th 2010 I was at my young adults group and we were studying Philippians. And I came across this,
Philippians 2:1-2 ( NLT )
"Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?
Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose."
So we have Baptists, Catholics, Jews, Lutherans, Methodists and Christians. We all have the same God but at the same time we separate ourselves. We put ourselves in groups and argue. The Bible tells us to work together with one mind and purpose.
So why don’t we?
Well my theory is that the leaders that formed these groups they based them all off a verse, a verse that they truly don’t understand. Why you ask? Well it’s because they only read the verse they don’t read the whole thing, they pick and chose.
We need to study the word of God and not just take what people say is truth as truth.
We need to stop saying “well my Pastor says or my doctorate says” and start saying my Bible says.
The word is the way the truth and the light and the only way to the father is through the son. The son is the word, “The word became flesh” Jesus Christ.
John 1:1-5 ( NLT )
"In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."
If this is true and you believe this study all the word and don’t just believe what people say.
“Don’t read the Bible! Unless you’re willing to let it change your life.”

Never Lets Go
November 17th 2009 I was working as a leader in the youth group and was participating in a game with everyone. The game first started with the girls. They all sat on the ground and us as strong men had to try our best to pull the girls apart from each other. Once they were apart they were out. Well being the strong guy that I was it was not too hard. So than it was the guys turn and well the girls definitely had a hard time but eventually it got down to just my friend Johnny and I. We had lasted; we were the only guys left. So we locked our legs tightly around each other’s legs like pretzels and with our arms around each other. There were at most 17 girls yanking at us from every way. They finally got our arms pulled apart but our legs never let go. But as my arms were apart I never stopped fighting to bring them back together. I fought and strained to bring them back together with all of my strength. For 15 minutes we clung to each other and refused to let go. Then Pastor Jeffrey Hodge stopped it and declared us the guys the winners. I let go and I’ve never felt so relaxed or satisfied in my life, it was awesome!
Romans 3:23-24 ( NLT )
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
The point of the story is that the arms represent us and how we turn our backs on him then after we try our hardest to get back to him. Also how we have and will all fall short of Gods glorious standard. They also represent how we should strive to have an awesome relationship with the Christ Jesus through the trials and tribulations of this world. No matter how hard things are. And when we can’t go any more, the Lord graciously carries us and we feel so relaxed and the most satisfied we’ve ever felt. It’s an awesome feeling. And the last point is that God is the legs, He never lets go.
Are you letting go?

Labor in Him Rest in Him / Update
Hebrews chapter 4 - Rest= kapausis in Greek, The Heavenly blessedness in which God dwells, and of which He has promised to make persevering believers in Christ partakers after the toils and trials of life on earth are ended. November 11th 2009 it was very hard for me to read the Bible everyday actually the hardest thing I’ve ever done. There were days were reading the Bible was the last thing I want to do. At times I would be on the edge of falling asleep, but God kept pushing me through. Now I devour the word of God. I need it and if I don’t get it I usually have one of the worst days ever because I’m relying on my own power. Reading the word of God has changed my thoughts and has become who I am today. Why are we so content with ok, when God has called us to be great? Matthew 20:26-27 ( KJV ) “But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” Well like in Matthew, one of the things that make a person great is how and if they serve. Jesus did not come to be served but to serve. 1 Timothy 4:12 ( NLT ) “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” This is what I’ve been trying to live my life as until the Lord pointed out this passage.
Update Acts 20:24 ( NLT ) But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. That is when I surrendered my life completely to his will in my life and submitted to the call to Peru in my life. We are bringing the word of God to places it’s never been or has been but it’s been so distorted that the truth was lost. I literally can’t be still my life is worth nothing unless I do the work of God. I will labor and rest in him for all the days of my life. So I’ve been here in Peru now for 7 and half months and Gods been faithful. But I just found out that I don’t have enough support to do the work that God has appointed me to here in Peru. I know founds are tight about I’m asking you if you would pray and see if the Lord is laying it on your heart to give. Thousands of people have accepted Christ and that’s just the beginning. I know 100% that God has called me here. If you so humbly feel like you would want to play a part in Gods awesome plan, and then please contact me. If you feel like God is leading you to give on a monthly basis the average is about a dollar a day every month; or whatever you can do. Some people even do 5 - 10 dollars a month. If you believe that you can step up to pledge any amount for 16 – 17 months please email me at aadams@extremenazarene.org or you can just contact me back on this message. I thank you for reading this and you’re ongoing faith and courage in the Lord.

Accepts us as we are
October 31st 2009
So did you know God is somewhat like a dog? / In a way
I’m meaning no disrespect. But a dog will love you if you’re poor, rich, lazy, fat, skinny or you love to pick your nose, you know what ever right. But of course there are many differences from Jesus and a dog of course too. A dog will give you his heart if you give yours.
But see the beautiful thing about God is that he has already given us his love even thou I know we don’t deserve it. The Lord wants our hearts and is always waiting for us to return. The closer we get to God /Jesus because you can’t get to the father without going through the son first. The more our hearts start beating like his. And when our hearts are beating like His, is when we are truly being the body of Christ.
This reminds me of a story in 1 Samuel chapter 16.
1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT)
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
See in this story the Lord asks Samuel to go and find a man named Jesse who lives in Israel, and then He says “for I have selected one of his sons to be my new king.” So Samuel go’s and finds this man named Jesse and tells him what he’s there to do. So Jesse brings out all his sons. He saw all Jesse’s 7 son’s but still none of them were it. So Samuel asked Jesse if there were any others. And Jesse said yes the youngest in the back. Samuel said get him at once. Once he did God told him right away that this boy was going to be king. Now David was the shortest and the youngest but God looks at the heart and not outward appearance.
God loves us the way we are. My prayer for us is that the Lord can gives us his eyes so we can see as He does.

A Servants Heart
October 22nd 2009 the lord gave me this message for everyone to hear. I preached it in a youth group for the first time on December 17th 2009.
Matthew 20:26-27 (KJV)
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.
So in the beginning of the sermon I had people wash their friend’s feet. Then after ward I asked them how it felt to get their feet washed and how it they felt washing the feet of the other person. Both of the people that got their feet washed were very thankful. But then I asked the people that washed the feet how they would feel if the other person was not thankful, but not only not thankful spit in their face and was just well excuse me French but a total jerk about it? Then I said this quote
“How do you know if you have a savant’s heart? It’s how you act when you’re treated like one.”
How do you know when you should serve?
Well one day I was shoveling my driveway. The snow was heavy and wet and to make it better I was shoveling with the shovel me grandpa Adams made and it was all straight and metal. So every time I would pick up a pile of snow it would slide right off. Fun right? Well I was coming down to the end of the drive / the hardest part because the snow plows through everything into a pile at the end of my drive. So as I was digging a maze through the snow I looked across the street. And there lied the drive way of the Nabors across the street coated with a heavy thick blanket of snow. And I felt like God was saying to go over there and do there’s after mine. I mean you could imagine what I was thinking “ya right”. But the lord just kept laying it harder and heavier on my heart. So as I got done with mine I put the shovel over my shoulder and gazed over across the street fighting with myself should I or should I walk my freezing body back inside? So I chose to go back inside. But as I was walking it dawned on me that if we have to ask if we should do it but we know its right than we should probably do it.
So I ran over there nobody appeared to be home which was good. So I started and tried to go as fast as I could. Every time a car would drive by I just kept thinking “o no is that them” And kept trying to think of something to say if they came. Like “um I’m not trying to steal your snow” or things along those lines. But they did not show so I finished in record braking time and ran back to my house and took a shower.
So how do we know when we should serve? “If we have to ask if we should do it but we know it’s right than we should probably do it.
So God calls everyone to different things. But he calls everyone too and gives the ability to everyone to talk about him and his love. So in a sense we are all called to be leaders to stand up for our faith and to work to plant seeds.
So I see Jesus as a leader not just because he had followers but because he shows us what a really leader should be like. And we as Christians try our very hardest to be Christ like. But let us remember Jesus Christ is the master of love and he came not to be served, or be some kind of big ruler but He came to to serve and give his life.
By serving you’re not only being Christ like our also being a leader.
1 Thessalonians 2:8-9 ( NLT )
We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.
Don’t you remember, dear brothers and sisters, how hard we worked among you? Night and day we toiled to earn a living so that we would not be a burden to any of you as we preached God’s Good News to you.
Matthew 20:26-27 (KJV)
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.

One of the things you can learn from Christ Jesus
So on October 8th 2009 I was driving back from visiting a friend and the Lord just hit me with this thought. So we sin and the voice in our head (God) say’s NO DON’T DO IT!!! And well we do it anyway.
Well first thing to let the devil win in this situation don’t get back up then and stay down and defeated. But if you don’t want him to win jump right back up and try you’re very hardest to live as close to God as you can.
Second thing what dose God do after we do this? He blesses us and still loves us. He loves us even when we run from him. Even while were driving the nails into the cross, he still loves us. Like in Isaiah 6:5-8
Isaiah 6:5-8 ( KJV )
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
For we are FORGIVEN through Christ Jesus.
But we need to keep in mind that as God forgives us, we need to forgive the ones driving the nails into our hands. Forgive the ones that are stabbing us in the back. We need to love them unconditionally.
It might be one of the hardest things you have to do but it also one of the most important things you can do.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
For we are FORGIVEN through Christ Jesus.
But we need to keep in mind that as God forgives us, we need to forgive the ones driving the nails into our hands. Forgive the ones that are stabbing us in the back. We need to love them unconditionally.
It might be one of the hardest things you have to do but it also one of the most important things you can do.

Thoughts
So October 13 2008 I was really having a hard time because I would be having bad mean thoughts about people. And I felt like there was something wrong with me. But the Lord told me there is not anything wrong. And told me this..
“So when a homeless person walks in on a Sunday and is smelling something fierce, he doesn’t have a lot of teeth, talking to himself and having trashy clothes and hair. Ya you would of course feel bad for him but at the same time you would want to stay away. You say to yourself should I approach him”
So you can’t really control your thoughts all the time. What matters is what you chose to act upon, that is what counts.
And yes you of course can help with what you dwell on when your board but at the same time don’t get down on yourself when you are thinking this way towards this homeless man or whoever is the homeless man in your life.
Who is the homeless man in your life?
Really ask yourself this question. Would you make a choice to ignore him or act upon the love of Christ Jesus?
My prayer for you is that God would give you his eye's to really see and that the thoughts of your heart and minds are holy and pure in the sight of our Lord Christ Jesus. Amen.

Feeling
Hey so October 8th 2008 God put me in the worship ministry at church.But in october 15th I had been praying that God would help me to stop relying on the feeling of him. While I’d be worshiping and leading it I could not feel God any more, but I kept pushing on and trying my hardest to worship but still nothing. After a few weeks I was sick of it and I prayed that God would help me understand why I mean I can’t explain it, it was like when I would worship there was like a bunny jumping and distracting me in my mind like I always had something I was thinking about.
But one day while I was driving my awesome beautiful 1994 Grand Mercury Markey God told me that the feeling from him is like a fire work, something that he gives us for a reason not only just to feel good.
So a fire work is lit, it fly’s as fast as it can to the sky. Burning at a rapped passé whistling till it can’t go any more and explodes with awesome lights and passion. But as time goes by the fire work fades and eventually disappears.
If we are relying on only that feeling what happens when its disappears, when it goes? I figured out that I was actually worshiping the feeling and no Christ Jesus. God was putting that bunny/ thought that kind of distracted me to push me, to drive me to surrender all I had when I was worshiping.
At that point I never had that problem again. And I felt closer to God KNOWING that he is always by my side.
