There are three ways to obtain true joy: scripture, worship and prayer. It’s truly astonishing what the Lord can do. So thankful for @seanrcurry +Stonecreek Church for this past weekend filled with worship and praise!Romans 8:18-The pain you feel can’t compare to the joy to come
So because the refs wouldn't call a blatant pass interference - Drake Stoops tackled in the end zone in Stillwater before the ball arrived - Oklahoma State will play Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game instead of the team that beat Texas ... Oklahoma. Just makes me SICK.
ESPN asked Oklahoma softball players (who just won their third straight natty) how they deal with the pressure of winning.
They respond by talking about how faith is more important than anything.
Watch this whole thing. ✝️
BIG NEWS // I WROTE A BOOK
We all experience heartbreak, and I’ve been in that season way too often. When I went through a really hard season of heartbreak in my life, I didn’t feel like there was a book available that would help me process the pain and seek Jesus in the midst.
Processing the pain of heartbreak. Finding the redemption plan God has for you.
I can’t believe it’s finally available after 2 long years of working on it. It feels surreal. And I feel honored y’all can be a part of the journey with me.
of it.
So, I decided to write what I wish I could’ve read. I’d love for you to check it out and my prayer is that it helps you or someone you know heal and find your way back to Jesus.
If you love someone….
❤️🔥FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED : A Martyr’s Prayer
✍️( I share this tonight for just one person to be touched by the Spirit to get back up. To not quit. If this is for you, let me know. I want to pray for you.)
I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have Holy Spirit power.
The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I’m finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudity, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and labor by power.
My pace is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road is narrow. My way rough. My companions few. My guide is reliable and my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I’ve stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give ’til I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear!
Christian young adults and teenagers are not the ‘future of the church’.
If they’ve been bought by the blood of Jesus and have the Holy Spirit; they are the church right now!
Disciple them, equip them, and empower them to be the church… now!
