It was so fun. I caught my limit in one hour. It was in a touristy area and many people were watching me fish. I reeled in one fish and had my grandson help me get the fish in. He was holding the pool and I was going to take the fish off the hook. The fish jumped and the hook came out into my finger. I was now caught.<br />
As I tried to wiggle the hook out, the deeper it went in. The barb was below the surface and my fat fingers were just pushing it deeper into my finger.<br />
<br />
The same thing happens in life. The enemy will try and get a hook in us. And while we just wiggle it around it gets stuck deeper. By wiggling I mean entertaining it. Playing with it.<br />
<br />
I didn't have any pliers to back it out and it was a barbed hook. It was starting to hurt. My grandson was watching as were many people standing around to see why my face was grimacing. I grabbed the line tight and pulled hard and fast. The hook pulled through the skin and came out. It stung. A man watching closely said "It looks like that hurt" and I just said "Yeah."<br />
<br />
When it comes to the hooks the enemy has in you, you have to just pull them out. Don't entertain them or not deal with them because it may hurt coming out. Be bold and and yank. Don't give the enemy any ground in your life.<br />
<br />
My finger bled for a minute and I just smiled at my grandson. He knew it hurt but he knows I'm tough. I just shook it off and kept going. It may hurt for a moment but dealing with the issue head on will get you free.<br />
<br />
God bless you.<br />

God has shown me a lot about being married.<br />
For those of you wanting to get married;<br />
When people are dating they tend to walk in their personality. They get all showered and cleaned up to look their best for you. They say the right things and do the right things. They show you what they think you want to see. They put their best foot forward.<br />
When you get married, you find out what they are really like. They settle into their true character. They say that men can be like a hunter and once they get the lady, they stop trying. You find out what they are really like.<br />
All of our habits that were held back on, come out. So it is important to get to know the character of a person.<br />
So the question I have for you today is:<br />
Are you just dating the Lord or are you all in?<br />
Dating would be that you just put your best on when your around other Christians.<br />
Being all in, is your character is the same all the time. Your allowing the Lord to take off the rough edges so that kindness is coming forth.<br />
You humble yourself and admit you need to overcome a certain area of your life. We will walk in love and forgiveness and encourage you as you walk through it.<br />
Your patient with those that at the beginning of the things you have already overcome. You don’t forget where you came from.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you want to be all in, pray and ask Jesus to be the center of your live. </div>

It is over 14,000 feet up. The air is thin and it can be tough to breath. I saw a guy that road up there on his Harley. It was a nice bike. I stopped to talk to him about the ride up as it is a crazy drive with not a lot of guard rails. He told me that when he arrived in Denver, he filled up his bike with a tank of gas and drove it around until the computer chip in the bike got used to the elevation so that the bike would not spit and sputter going up the mountain.<br />
In the Kingdom of God, many want to go to the top of the mountain without the prep time. But without the prep time they end up with the spitting and sputter and not making it to the top. They end up quitting and going back down.<br />
The Kingdom is not just Word, it's doing the Word. It's not just Spirit, it's walking in the Spirit. The Spirit and the Word preparing us for the journey we are on. We need both in our lives and we need to be active about being prepped so that we don't spit and sputter and end up quitting.<br />
Take time today to pray in the Spirit and read the Word.<br />
<br />
Have a great day and God bless you.<br />

As I have been reading my faith is increasing. It is so awesome to see how God fulfills His word. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I read through chapter 36 today, I could have just skimmed through it as it was about the genealogy of Esau. He gave up his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Why would this be important to read. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, right in the middle of it, it says that Esau took his family, servants, and all his livestock and left the land to his brother Jacob. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He had been working that land for 21 years while his brother was away with Laben and now he moves off of it because there is not enough room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The great thing is that the land was promised to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. The land was not to be Esau's. Esau moved without a big conflict. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was so encouraged by this in that when God has a plan and has released a promise, He makes sure it happens. God makes a way for His word to be fulfilled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jacob didn't have to make it happen by fighting with his brother, he just did what he was supposed to do and God did the rest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today, do what you know to do and put the rest in God's hands and let Him settle His word to you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">God bless you and have a great day.</span><br />

<br />
It has been a while since I have blogged. Many travels this last few months.<br />
Today our reading was on Col. 4. As I read it a couple of areas of prayer jumped out at me.<br />
1. vs. 3 Pray that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ.<br />
I think we should come into agreement with this prayer and begin to pray it out. At our Friday night prayer meeting we are coming into agreement with the prayers out of the Word of God and this is a good one to pray for each other. May god open doors for us to speak the mystery of Christ.<br />
<br />
2. vs. 12<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Epaphras, who is </span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">one</i><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> in all the will of God.</span></span><br />
Epaphras was praying for the Colossian church to be able to stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. That is something we should be in agreement with. People these days are standing with the wrong thing. They are coming into agreement with things that God hates and are an abomination to Him. People are even changing the Word of God to fit a sinful lifestyle. We need to pray in agreement with this scripture for each other in this day of trials and tribulation.<br />
Just remember that we win but we will be tested.<br />

When you witness, don't speak death over people so that it pushes them away from the truth, but speak life so that it draws people into the kingdom. The forgiveness that is mentioned here is very powerful. Many have been wronged in this life but when there is repentance we need to forgive right away. This would save a lot of marriages. We wouldn't be keeping a record of wrongs done when we forgive</i>.</span></span></div>
