" A Walk Around The Bible With J.Vernon MageeAss" . . .

Hey Princess...
Sorry this is a long sermon...
i didn't "time it"...

Spirit Stuff...

Imagine every relationship you have
as an opportunity to "choose" to demonstrate Love...
Don't use the Bible...
You define Love...
How do You like to be "shown" Love ?

Instead of "reading" about Love
God will speak (He'll be that "still small voice")
and you'll experience God's Love and Peace,
even in trials...

Practice praising and worshiping God
in the midst of what "appears" to be a trial,
Remember...
They're only "Illusions" in the flesh.

Hearing and Alone Time...

Consider this...
believers have been "reading about" God for years
but never learning to "trust" that God
is speaking to them...
Ever pray this lame prayer ??? (everyone has)

Oh Lord... i just want to know Your Will... In Jesus Name... Amen...

Then proceed to make a shitty choice,
do what "they want" anyway and pray...

Lord... Why did my marriage to this good for nothin',
lazy ass, crack smokin', wife beatin', cheatin' sonofabitch...
End in divorce or worse yet... 25 years of abuse ???
(God Hates Divorce but LOVES abusive relationships)...

Is God "capable" of speaking clearly ?
Is God limited to "a book" ?
Not everyone "in the book" had access to one,
How did they hear God and will they make it to heaven ???

Imagine a "More Creative God"...
And you will experience "One"...
You'll begin to "hear God... everywhere"...
That could be a pain in the ass...
If you're serious about knowing God's Will...
There's No More Excuses...

By the way... God's Will Is...
Loving God... Loving Each Other
and Offering Grace and Forgiveness to "Everyone"...

How you "do it" is up to You...
Be Creative...
God knows how this all turns out anyway
but isn't "In Control" contrary to the song...
Sorry Mr. Evans...

It's that "freewill" clause ... A stupid concept...
But who Am i ???
Just a "son of God"...
Daddy Knows Best...

Fleshy Stuff...

Doing "Things for God"...
A cool thing that Jesus said was...
if we do things for others
we're doing it to Him...

Just Remember...
Out of Love...

Not duty or responsibility...
Don't feel you have to do something for someone
if they're too lazy to get off their ass for themselves...
They'll become "dependent" on You...
Instead of God...

Help to "Empower" others,
don't be afraid to "tell them" you need help...
Mama said... No Help... No Get Done...

When you're not burned out
and other people are sharing your burdens...
Then you'll know this is "working" properly...
You'll experience Joy, Peace and Purpose
(for more than 40 days)...
Instead of anger and resentment...

i'll spare Ya the scriptures...
i'm sure you've "heard them before"...

Is walking with God "in the spirit" different
than how you were taught ?

i'm sure you heard it correctly,
but i'll bet you were taught a bunch of other stuff that
"grounds" you
"in the flesh"...

There were a lot of "requirements"...
Before Christ...

How does one "let go"
and hope for freedom ?

Again... God Declares It...
"Believing" you're a "Child Of God"
"transforms the mind" the fastest way.

Question...
Can One... Believe and Trust God To Keep Her Word ???
Yes, No, Maybe... Final Answer ??? Yes... Yipee !!!

How can i learn to please others
so they won't be "mad at you" ...

Again... Be "Like God" ...

Jesus didn't "please or heal everyone"
You don't have to either...

He even got "bitched out" by Mary
for getting there "too late" to save
Lazarus from dying... It worked out OK...
Hey... the guy didn't have a watch or PDA back then...

Hell... Jesus had people "mad at Him"
all the time,
He wasn't what they "expected"...
That's still kind of a problem today...

Dare to Dream Again ???

Don't Dare...
Just "Do It" (shameless Nike plug)

Plan a trip out here...
Take in a Cubs game...
Get a Pappa John's Pizza (the only pizza Jesus eats)
Breath Deep... then...

Whisper, scream, shout or think...
(It's all a "prayer" to God)...

"God... cause me to dream again"...

Trust me... You will...

Peace and Love...

Will The Worship Team Please Come Up...
And "NO TRAINWRECKS" ...
If anyone needs prayer please come up...
i don't "charge"
but i will receive a "LOVE" offering...
Sure... cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover... Hmmmmmmm...
Not a bad career...
Can You say "MegaChurch" ???
