Don’t wait
By: Jordy Christo http://www.prayerforyouth.com/
Has God put desires inside of you for his kingdom?
Move forward one step at a time.
Take the task He has given you,
Do something today, even if you only write a rhyme.
There are so many ways in this life, to touch the broken hearted.
If our thoughts do not become actions, then we never really get started,
So keep pressing toward those things that God is calling you to.
If you are unsure, here is what you can do
Read your bible, worship, spend a lot of time with Jesus and pray
This is how to begin your best step today.
Hay everyone
This is the last Devo that i’m gonna copy and paste. I just like this one.
To abide in the Lord means to remain connected to him all of the time. We do this by being conscious of the fact that God is always with you. Take a moment to examine your life. Use these questions to help determine if you and the Lord have been staying connected. Would Jesus say the things you have been saying? Would Jesus treat others the way you have treating them? Would Jesus look at the things you have been looking at? Would Jesus listen to the things you have been listening to? Everyday with the Lord is a new beginning; he is forgiving, merciful and kind. When I stay connected to the Lord my life is full of the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness and self control. Being conscious of God’s presence, staying connected to him, will change everything about you.
Prayer: Lord help me to stay connected to you today. Jesus help me to be more aware that my eyes are your eyes, my ears are your ears and that my actions are your actions
1 Corinthians 2:4
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power
1 Corinthians 2:13
This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

I recently met a stranger at a local park where I was taking a walk. With in a few minutes I discovered that this woman was a Christian. After about 10 minutes of talking, suddenly her words began to come alive in me, by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. This lady was saying things that were in perfect relation to what had been happening in my life over the past two weeks. She said things that only God and I knew about. Her words were so right on, that at one point, I wondered if she was an angel. A friend, who was with me, was listening to the stranger speak to me… Then the stranger began to say things that were identical to what my friend and I had just talked about on our walk earlier that morning. This was without a doubt, a demonstration of the Spirits Power. We hugged the stranger with gigantic grins on our faces, what an awesome God we serve. As Christians, that’s the power we need flowing through our lives to win souls for Christ. Jesus said “my sheep know my voice”. We really need to hear God’s voice as we are interacting with others. Obviously this woman was hearing God’s voice as she was speaking to me and I was hearing God’s voice through her words that were filled with the Spirit.
I know why the good old days are gone
Cause everyone just tolerates what’s wrong
I’m not some empty space for rent
I want to be innocent
You’re so heartily
Innocent every part of me
Take me back so I can see
The way that love was meant to be
Boys and girls the real world
Is one that’s filled with consequence
And all the lies that glamorizes
It’s a life that’s broken
I see why the good old days are gone
Every time I turn my TV on
What’s wrong with being different

I wanted to share this little part of this song because it honestly amazes me, it speaks the truth about how we shouldn’t have tolerated the many wrong things this world has started. If we wouldn’t have tolerated them they possibly wouldn’t be here and hurting others. Examples of things that we have tolerated are alcohol, drugs ( i know some are illegal but some confused people are trying to get it legal again), some things that are written in teen magazines just throw the readers of the right path even more. Recently i was sitting in the library during my spare and looking through a teen girl magazine. On one of the pages it was a Q&A column and one of the questions was is it ok to watch porn? The reply to this questions was Yes it is ok. I was and still am outraged by this. Just thinking of one of my non christian friends reading that just makes me sooo mad! Why do so many companies put out crap like this for us teenagers to consume?? We SHOULDN’T have to tolerate this.

Define Love. Has anyone noticed that so many people treat love like a game or less than what it should be?? So many hop from relationship to relationship looking for love and when they can’t find it in one person they move onto another. Why is our generation so desperate for love?? Don’t they know the only love that you won’t be left wanting more or felt unsatisfied is the love that God has for us??!! I guess not. Also how freely people say love, it’s not just an unmeaningful word. You can’t just throw it around unless you truly mean it.
ANyway let me know wat you think or if you have anything else to add
hAy all,
