I didn't travel much until I was 25 years old. Now, I have been all over the USA and to other countries as well. I know now, God has a divine purpose everywhere I go, more than what I can see. Go into all the earth with purpose.

Simply Jesus
I want to live my life every day, 24/7, for the glory of the Lord. In fact, today I was sitting at my computer thinking to myself, can I type and trust the Lord to make this late night spontaneous writing to bless someones life. I believe that as you read this tonight, you will honestly be encouraged and blessed!
Many times in the last two years I have wanted to give up on the dreams and visions God gave to me. Every time God gave me hope! Sometimes it was a little glimpse, other times it was clear but I always step out and risk making a fool of myself, that Jesus will simply be exalted through my life.
I know the life I now life I live by faith in the Son of God, and I cannot give up. I dont always see clearly but i can see. As a husband and a father, there is a deep responsibility to love and lead like i never have before. Others are watching, they want to see if this life I live now, is truly by faith, or is it on my own. Am I truly walking with God, or alone? Can others see what God has shown to me, am I really living this out, that it really is simply Jesus loving on me and loving through me.
Galatians 2:20 (NLT) "My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
Luke 18: 7-8 (NLT) "Now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
John 3:30 (NLT) "He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less."
The CRY OF MY HEART - is what I bring to the Lord at the end of my life, worthy of His death on the cross and beautiful Resurrection! i desire the fruit of my labor, and for Him to say "Well done good and faithful servant" Will there be even one effort in faith that was of Kingdom value? I ask Holy Spirit to please reveal Your heart in this matter. AMEN. Will you give me grace today, to be a witness that lives my life to serve the Gospel to a lost and dying generation. Today in Jesus name.
Today and every day, may our lives be lived out, to bring honor and glory to the name of Jesus.
On Fire for Jesus,

God's goodness and power
The greatest hope is only confirmed by God's goodness and power in Jesus, and in you and I by the power if the Holy Spirit ...
Romans 8:18-39 is the passage I read this morning. And great peace has swept over me. The peace of God.
We walk by faith in hope of what we are being led in to will be exactly how God revealed it to be. The hope of redemption and salvation is a great hope and even though we have not seen it with our own eyes we see evidence all around us by the grace of God.
God leaves us evidence of His greatness and power, so we can conclude that there is no one greater or more powerful than He is. In fact, we do see miracles every day glory to God! By the power of the Holy Spirit. Even when evil arises, the goodness and power of God will prevail as greater than evil - rescuing the inocent, bringing justice to the afflicted and delivering the prisoner from iron bars! But you must wait on the Lord, and He shall renew your strength
Romans 8:26-30 NLT
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
