If you feel unqualified for Gods work,than you just qualified

1 John 3:1 NIV
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

You are a child of God, His treasured possession. He created you in His own image. He chose the day for you to be born. He has a plan and a purpose for your life. Cherish your birthverse.

God want's us to do His work. He want's us to let the words he breathed to live in us and become one with Him, to do and become more like His Son ,Jesus. If you feel low or not qualified enough, than your qualified to do God's work today... The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember... Noah was a drunk Abraham was too old Isaac was a daydreamer Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal

Do you know what your super power is in God?

Is it administrative, speaking, cooking whatever it is it's given to you by your Heavenly Father. You should be building it up for God and using it for His purpose.



1. Identify your SUPER POWERS

Judges 4:4-6

4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

4:5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

4:6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam… Continue

What Makes You Hazardously Unique?

Have you ever thought that being a Christian is hazardous to your being, you can actually die from it. Most of us just wonder through this life avoiding to be hurt or let down. Never really taking in the circumstances of their actions until it's to late. " I should have done this or that", has crossed all of our minds more than needs to. Only leaving us to feel guilty and self condemnation against your own soul. Now what will the consequences be I wonder. Did I fail Jesus? Wow that could the gre… Continue

Letting Go

Letting Go


Jesus lived and died so He could be Lord over life and death.

Matthew 6:24

No one can have two masters, either he will hate the one and love the other ,or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Romans 14:7

For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

Luke 7

Consider the centurions servant healed, "Lord just say the word, and my servant will be healed". Just a whisper the breath of Jesus is life.

Isaiah-66

Stand Your Ground

Stand Your Ground


I once was dying, now I'm Living. Unless we stand for something ,we will fall for anything.

The devil wants death, illusion, destuction. In the midst, God stands. We need to take back what was stolen from us. We need to stand our ground.

If we do not stand our ground we will fall, not from salvation but from spirit. We will not back down, keep this world from turning you around. Is quote from Tom Petty song "stand my ground". You have just one life to make a choice What wil… Continue

God Spoke to me!!!

This morning I was troubled very deeply within my being ..... The feeling of being seperated from God the very essence of what humanity and relationship should extend upon. I asked Him ,Father speak to me please, I need to hear your voice.. And like an eagle's speed ,He spoke mat 24:11. Many False prophets will arise and will meslead many. I believe God spoke this to me , in regards to the Oprah church that has started. This is the largest church in the world with nearly 2 million attending week… Continue

The Word Discovers Our Condition

Hebrews 4:11-13

11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

12 For the… Continue

Freedom Stealers..

This will most likley be short and sweet I have been reading alot lately about surprising faithfulness and what keeps popping out at me and what really gets my blood boiling is what I call freedom stealers, you know those people who always continue to knock you down before you can even stand up. Well, as a once famous cartoon said "I have taken all I can stands and I can't stands no more."(Popeye)

I would like to talk to you about those who wan't to take away your freedom. Of course, Satan want… Continue

Does God Know Who You Really Are?

To realize that knowing God is more than just knowing about Him but is also a matter of personally dealing with Him at some point. The concept that God knew each of us individually before we knew Him is also introduced.

Scripture Basis:

Rom 10:14, 1 John 2:4 & Jer 1:5

References: Packers "Knowing God" chapter 3 / McDowell's "Evidence That Demands a Verdict", Vol 1

Inclusion Activity:

Some people today believe in a Creator and some do not. Do you?

This study makes some basic assumptions… Continue

Come Back To Me

The story is one of several very well-known parables of Jesus that are only found in Luke's gospel; and like the others, it expresses Luke's distinctive theology of the inclusive love and grace of God. The forgiveness of the son is not conditional on good works, since he has plainly done nothing "good" throughout the story, other than to return home, symbolic of repentance; and although he formulates the intention of admitting his guilt to his father, his father accepts him even before he gets t… Continue

A look into a soul of a lost lamb finding his way Home..

Its really is a journey to find ones self in Christ. I sit here and refelct on how much Christ our Lord ,praise be His name has given me so much to live for, not to mention His forgivness that none of us deserve. On the other end of the spectrum how much I screw up every single day sinning like crazy, knowing what i'm doing is wrong when I do it. and yet I'm continually being blessed and know that i am blessed when really I dont deserve what Im getting in return. It's so hard when I dont have co… Continue

Youthfull Evangelical's

Ok, everyone it's time again to let you know that I have been doing some serious thinking about Youth Evangelicals and how I think we are going to make an impact on this earth. For many years most politics have been based around religion and the has been used as the "edge" for most campaigns , which I think is absoltley a ridiculous meaasure to get some votes. If you've noticed liked me there has been a great fallen away of these mega churches where young people such as myself are no longer affi… Continue

Are you really Free 2

The Subject is freedom-and why we're not free. You've heard that Christ has made you free. You may have told others of your freedom. And you probably use the concept of freedom in your witness to those who don't yet know Christ. Sometimes however I fear that we define freedom in a way the restricts and binds more than it frees.

When Jesus used the word free(as in,"the truth will make you free"), he employed a term that means, "liberation from bondage". In other words, the Greek word for free me… Continue

Are you really Free

Some of us think that being christians we are supposedly free, can you tell me what we are free from? As you ponder on that I wan't to take away the kicker. The Bible is quite radical, but most of us dont understand how radical it really is.

Paul writes " I know and I am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in it self, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean" Rom 14:14. Paul writes again "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,there is freedom"… Continue

Ministry

You know this is a topic that I have always found to be amazing, alot of us think that in order to do great things for God that we should be in the forefront of everything all the time so everyone will see what we have done for Him. This really hits home for me as someone trying to figure out what my spirtual gift is and when studying this matter I have come to realize that I may have a calling into Ministry which is one of the Gifts From The Father.

Matthew 6:4 "So when you give to the poor, d… Continue

God Loves Ugly

Have you ever felt ugly in front of God?


This is something extemely important to me and others who feel there not quite put together the right way either physically or mentally. The feeling of lonliness and heartache can take a toll on your well being. Imagine for a sec...what Jesus felt like living in a world pretty much alone, surrounded by ugly,immoral and a lost civilization. I want to say your not alone.


This is an encouraging note,

God loves ugly, He uses the most ugly, unrightous peo… Continue

A letter from satan to you.

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.
You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact,
you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going
to bed last night. You are so unthankful. I like that about you.

I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed
your way of living. Fool! You are mine. Remember, you and I
have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet.
As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only
using you to get even w… Continue

A Love Letter From Jesus To You

My little child, I love you. (John 15:9)

I have called you by your name, you are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)

Before I formed you, I knew you. And before you were born, I consecrated you. (Jeremiah 1:5).

You did not choose me, I chose you. (John15:16).

Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers. (3rd John 2).

Because you are precious to me, and honored, I love you. (Isaiah 43:4).

I have loved you with an everlasting love and I will continue m… Continue

A response to another blogger who doesn't know why many christians think they are better than the rest.

Well at this point i can see your thought process is very engaging in the fact that myself being a radical Christian can in somwwhat even more resound this message louder. If you have seen some of my blogs you'll get why. The fact is this the basis for all Christians and Christianity is Jesus and Him only, God the form of man (Jesus) died for our sins and wrong doings weather your gay,straight,twisted, or sideways. it doesnt matter in retrospect of the past ,present or future .Yours Mine and the… Continue

Jesus Loves the church and so should you.

Why is it that so many Christians try to defile other Christians while trying to preach Christianity. And if thats not enough to drive a somewhat normal Christian Crazy , I don't know what is. I just finished an interview about Joel Osteen, and if your like most people and you think he's some kind of a false extremist, your probably thinking to yourselves. "he's a fake". Well your gonna have to get over it and heres why. We are to love the church, just as Jesus loved and still loves the church t… Continue

Hey man, I'm getting back on this site to connect with my brothers in Christ, so hit me up again when you get the chance! I've been doing alright, but I want to become more open and honest in my walk with both my hometown brothers and others who can benefit from my life's journey! Praise God! For His mercy endures forever!

Hey Joe,
Was going thru the members and saw your pic--I am all of those things too. Your site is great--thanks for the music and the pictures. I am a new member but read Nate's book last year and it jolted me to do some cleaning house in my life. The Lord is good -always and He loves us even when we feel far away. I hope you are doing well and hope we can talk soon. Yours in Christ,
Brother Rich

Hey Joe...I stopped by to say hello and noticed that it had been a while since you have been by. I hope you are doing well. I hope that you have your arms tightly wrapped around the neck of God and you are basking in His embrace. By the way I live in Spring Hill, Fl as well and would love to get to know you. Troy

Joe- I have not been on sampson in a while, but I was thinking about you bro and wondering how your summer was going?

I have hit a little period of uncertainty and alone time. God is good though. My family is doing well. I am 40 and looking for my purpose w/ God as some things I used to serve in have faded out... not sure what God is doing? I am on a shelf? I need to just read my Bible more, worship and trust Him. As well as, work out more :) and play w/ the kids. More later...

Hey Joe!

How the heck are you brother? Things have been like a whirlwind in the life of Mike this week/weekend........it's a shame that it's time to go back to work again tomorrow. How was your weekend? I ended up getting severly delayed coming home from Madrid on saturday......like 5 hrs! Needless to say I missed my last flight home saturday night so it kind of slammed everything together on sunday. I finally am getting some time to catch up. Have you ever had those days where you feel like you are getting closer to God but satan is so coming at you even harder than in the past and sometimes it feels like you're a failure in His eyes? I have been like that lately........the ol' devil is pulling out all the stops lately.......I just pray that tomorrow is a new and fresh day that I can fight a little harder........you're in my prayers bro.........keep on keeping on:) I'm headed out to Glasgow tomorrow night and then to Manchester again :P Sometimes routine is good, but sometimes it is so monotonous. Hope all is good and I'll talk to you soon! C ya bro!

Hey Bro!

How's life treatin' ya today? Liked the road sign.........good stuff........need one that say's "Caution-Battles ahead" :) I had the honestly most awesome day. It was a day of solitude and getting to talk to God and listen and see. You know God will just show you His amazing love for you in the most inatimate of objects and settings sometimes. I got up a little bit earlier than usual today and went for an amazing hike over Edinburgh. It was honestly a perfect day for it. Just being out there in God's nature just Him and I wandering.......wandering to the next hill or crest in the mountain(they were little mountains) and seeing where I wanted to go and doing it! It's something about being in what God created and being one with it......it's so cool bro! It's great that it is so close to the city of Edinburgh. That's one thing that I wish Florida had was a couple of good mountains to climb :) Can't have it all I guess..........That would be great to get you up to JAX for a visit.........it's not the most exciting city, but we have some good people and some good beaches......I'm ususally home on the weekends if you want to come up you're welcome to crash on my couch(sorry I only got a 1 br condo).......you're right this going to take us places and meet people that we maybe would have never met before.......but that is the cool part.......the random/not really randomness of Jesus Christ! I tell you sometimes God's gives you that mountain to climb so you can see where you've come from........so you can see what's ahead...........for a moment.........Bro I hope that you are having a great start of the week...........look at what it is that JC is pouring out on you right now and realize just what an incredible, merciful God HE IS! Take care bro, talk to you soon!
