Mongolia, Peru, Israel, Honduras, and the ends of the world!

So many thoughts rush through my head, and all I want is the Lord all I want is to sit and receive from my King, all I want is to be able to serve the Lord.
As the title of this states all these different countries, they each represent different hope, different dream, different way of life, each with it's own language, each with it's own culture, and each with it's need for souls to be saved, people to be disciple and teachings to be taught. Even as I sit here and think of each one I am overwhelmed by the need for solid bible teaching in each one. I am overwhelmed that my God could send me to any place on earth, I am overwhelmed by the very fact that the Lord will send me to somewhere, it may be here but here is somewhere.
My greatest desire to visit country is to visit the country of Mongolia. I am certain the Lord has plan for that country. the spirit must move, I just want the Lord.
I wanna enter into that sweet covenant with the Lord and I wanna go where he wants me to go. Originally, I wanted to go to Honduras again, but I'm just waiting to see what the Lord does,
please pray for me, I am seeking the Lord as to where he wants me. So many locations, so many thoughts, Honduras and Peru make sense but not everything God calls us to do makes sense at first.

sweet covenant

2Ch 15:12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;


I love this passage, and this is one piece of scripture that really spoke to me this past week, it made me renew that sweet relationship with the king of kings. This passage made me realize how sweet it is to enter into that covenant with the Lord!
I feel like it is so easily neglected, I wanna spend time in that covenant, I wann worship the Lord!
Please join me in it!
then right before this verse a few chapters back we see the effects of not seeking the Lord!

2Ch 12:14 And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD.

Dude! we will do Evil, and we will fail if we don't seek the Lord! unless we enter into that covenant with the Lord we will stumble, you can't seek the Lord unless you are having that sweet relationship with them! I just want the Lord and nothing else, I wann prepare my heart and daily enter into that covenant! awesomeness! but the hearts gotta be prepared!

Giving thanks-

1 Chr 23:30-to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

This spoke to me, I have hard time following the list of descendants, etc. But I love it when it says "to give thank and praise the Lord" that's truly wonderful! This wa s reminder about how I need to be more thankful for everything, just as I mentioned in the separated series, we need to be more thankful, and be able to praise the lord Morning and Evening, that means spend pour entire day in always praising him.
Thats radical! I love the feel of worship, there is something about worshiping the Lord that makes you so joyful! to the unbeliever or the religious(Or both!) it appears odd and not of the norm. But to the Godly, it's the chance to enter the throne room! I try, honestly try to spend some time refreshing myself in the spirit. It's tough, but when I can I love every min of it. Thats what our hearts need to be like, wqe need to spend every min praising the Lord in our actions, thoughts and words. It's tough, I'm far from even achieving this. But I pray that the Lord will help me to walk this way, I wanna be able to praise him and to thank him.

Seperated-Churches call to seperation part 4

"Give thanks to the Lord!"

This statement comes from the book of psalms as a whole. The book is always speaking giving thank to the Lord! What does this have to do with being separated? It's got everything to do with it! The world we live is so selfish we never give thanks for anything. We never realize where the gifts truly come from. Even as believers we get selfish. We need to be out giving thanks to the Lord! he is good! his mercy endures forever! what better person then the Lord do we have to give thanks to? do our lives reflect him? Do we give thanks by our living? Do we remember who truly saved us? who pulled us up from our pit of despair?
In a world of selfishness, thankfulness will be seen when we are thankful the difference of selfishness and kindness are like black and white. Every good thing comes from God! (Jam 1:17) the gifts don't come from us! they come from God! we have no reason to thank ourselves or another person for what God has clearly given us. I'm not saying it's wrong to thank someone for their work, I'm saying that ultimately God gave them that ability to do that type of work.
This type of thankfulness will show true separation, we must be on guard against selfishness. It's easy to take credit it's easy to misuse the blessings from God.
