He Lives...God's Not Dead

Tonight i watched the film, "God’s Not Dead (I know I'm late). I loved it! 

So much so, i just have to share my notes/thoughts. As those who have seen my recent social media posts, I'm not selfish with the love lessons God has shown me. These are just my thoughts and opinions and I hope it touches someone.
 
The movie is about a christian boy having to prove that God is not dead to his peers of nonbelievers. I noted particularly the reference to Matthew 10:33 “But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my father in heaven” (NIV). 

This wrecked me. I thought of the statement to whom much is given, much is required. I am required that as blessed as i have been, I need to share God’s word. Disowning God doesn’t just have to be just non-belief; it can come in several forms: doubt, fear, etc. 

TWEET THIS: The world's views are like a cancer. It infects & spreads to an ultimate end. One that doesn't have eternity.

The decisions (free will) we make today have consequences. God gives us this free will, so once we choose him, we have chosen heaven, free of evil. We all say “buts”, “maybes”, “ifs”, “well’s”, on the word of God. So, imagine if you get to the gates of heaven and God says “well”...you didn’t live for me… I never knew you. That is the ultimate crushing fate.

Would you be ok with hearing that? God gives us daily, hourly, to choose him. We are not to believe and be confused, distracted, lied to by the devil that god is not for us. However, we are hurt by rough relationships, love ones passing away, annoying jobs, loss of money, no weight loss, failure in classes, sicknesses, etc.… the list goes on… 

God proved his love for us by being nailed to a cross that he would die for every sin we could ever commit. search your heart for your priorities in life? Is it of God? I urge myself and you to water our relationships with god; anything you water and nurture will grow. the risks (unpopularity, relationships ending, bad habits gone) is a choice we make. To follow that free will to honor God and it will be rewarded in this life, but ultimately, most importantly, on judgment day. trust in god’s will, have patience and wait on his best for you. 

He will fill any void you have in your heart. That discontentment you have can’t and wont be filled by a man, money, car, clothes, drugs, sex. 

God is waiting on us to give him our undivided attention. any prayer, time, love you show him

I'm sure those things put the biggest smile on his face-proud of us turning to just him.  

Where do you find your hope? Joy?

Live your life to the fullest. Let God’s joy fill your heart. You will be tested, if you really believe but trust and believe God’s will is bigger and  better than anything we can imagine!! 

Excited?? Lets Go!
