Spiritual gifts

2008-07-21T21:42:00.001-07:00

Like I said before, I got 20 on Hospitality and 16 in discerning of spirits and tied 15 in Shepard,Prophecy and Wisdom.

Seeing this it makes sense hospitiatlity is in I like being hospitable? Dad agreed and said I like being with people so making people feel at home or welcomed is cake.

Discerning of spirits is undefined I don't know if it is seeing into the spiritual world or the roots or testimonys and such things.

But shepard, prophecy, and wisdom are things which I am eager to become matured in, and really strive for them.
Tied at 14 exhortations giving service are things I enjoy as well
helping people out and giving time money is really a joyful experience for me and become fulfilled in.

We talked about my gifts I got 20 on Hospitatlity and 16 in discerning of spirits and tied 15 in Shepard,Prophecy and Wisdom

With my personality test he said that Extroverted made since but sensing being 1 made no sense he thinks that i'm a lot more "sensitive".
However he pointed out that being extrovert with hospitality made perfect sense to him. He said he saw Christ working in me alot and that the impact of christ is very evident in my life.

Chapter 7 part 1 Spiritual WARFARE!

2008-07-18T15:45:00.000-07:00

i found the website http://www.allaboutfollowingjesus.org/spiritual-warfare.htm

they validate spirtual warfare and simply put it as this
put on the whole armor of god knowing the word but not stopping there head knowledge of the word is only so much but actually revelation form god of the scriptures

a balanced perspective on spiritual warfare hmmm

well first realize this all authority was given by God
ALL even the power that satan and his demons have was given by God.
if you truly have accepted christ as lord and savior his spirit is living inside you the spirit that raised jesus from the dead is in you! now with this we have also this encouraging word to hold onto
john 12
Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

see Jesus said that we will do greater than these!

a perspective on spiritual warfare is this

we have the victory already if we just ask according to HIS will and its a done deal!

well what can i say my parents have been in the ministry ever since ive been born ive lived in the u.s. for the most part but some ive grown on the misison field and never was a murderer or into binding sin but however god never became real to me until i was about 13 i attended unwillingly a pastors conference with my parents and felt the tangible precense of god and completely changed the focus and direction of my life. what happened was god wasnt my parents thing or a duty ..but a relationship and became a truly an honor serve him

its not like i became perfect and ceased from sin immeatidately i still havent gotten close!

but god became so evident in my life it would be impossible to go back!

i slowly found out that i became different than most of my middle school peers and began to withdrawl from hanging out with anyone or becoming a friends with them
i didnt want to loose my faith and go back to serving myself so i would refuse to go back yet living a godly life style only means somthing if you have the words

faith comes be seeing? if faith came by seeing everyone would get saved by us just being good
but no faith comes by hearing and i learned i needed to speak the word into peoples lives and not live it and it required a great amount of boldness i spent most of the year praying to god continually for boldness that i might fearlessly make known his name

forutnately after a wild turn of events i moved to panama and the craziest god awesome way i began to recieve his boldness speak with people about god and the truth

Seeds and well seeds

going on this mission trip is making me think what is my purpose if im not good with kids or even like them that much i dont play in the band and from what i got from the meetings were not doing 1 to 1 evangelism im just along for the trip waiting to do whatever not fluently speaking spanish is also another barrier but all things aside i know im going to be used by god sowing any sort of seed in not just peru but anywhere is the only the only thing i can do if god sees to it that it grows and bears much fruit so be it but as for my mentality and prep for going there is as simple as the concept of sowing seeds i also know god isnt limited to children's ministry and the worship team and im just exciting to see what gods going to to do through me and in me and not just me but anyone else who doesnt really know where they belong..

Team Work!

2008-06-01T19:02:00.002-07:00

The best team experiences I had was playing american football in elementary we practiced every day of the week. We laughed,suffered, and bled throughout the season. We were undefeated one year and had a home field advantage play off game. Basically if we won it we went to the "super bowl" of our little league and if we lost it then...yeah. It was a cold November or December night we had a close game going but with about 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter we were ahead by a 1 score and if the opposing team scored in any way we would loose being the fourth and final quarter or time period of the game we couldnt do anything but hold there offense. They advanced within seconds to our goal line or final line before they score. They literally needed 1 maybe 2 inches to score. 1st and goal we as an 11 man team held them on first down and second. Every one was extremely focused on there assignment. 3rd down came and our team sacked or made the other team loose yardage. But then a small fight broke out between one of my teams coaches and the referee or gaming official. They ended up back on the goal ine with 1st and goal. But to make a long stroy a tiny bit shorter we held them again and wont the game and made it to the superbowl but lost :(

basically what i wanna say is

when everyone has the same mind set and same amount of focus and knowledge about what they are doing the outcome of that is a total victory

Extraverted	Sensing	Thinking	Judging
Strength of the preferences %

You are:

very expressed extravert
slightly expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality

Taking this test made me see that i am extraverted which I never actually thought I was people tell me I am intreverted so its confusing.
My personality type could help the team by lifting up others and providing crucial constructive criticism and hinder by just plain getting annoying talking a lot.
