Pastor Tim’s Blog

While reading in Judges today I couldn’t help feel prompted about the line, “Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord.”  It is repeated many times through the book.  I felt the Lord impressing on my heart that what we see today is His people being controlled by others.  His people are being punished because they have not turned from their evil ways.  We have allowed the enemy to distract us with other gods. (media, sex, drugs, alcohol, possessions, and power)  The church will not be delivered completely by God until we have purified ourselves by confessing our sins on the altar of God.  Until we turn away from the other gods that we have unconsciously placed before the one and true God.  It will be at that moment when God will once again completely release His anointing on His church.  It will be at that moment the Church will again be able to expand the territory of  the Kingdom of God.

I have not been faithful at all at updating this blog.  Recently I have been reading and really feeling God leading me to commit to trying to update this blog a few times a week.  I believe He is doing this to help me put into words what He is showing me through my personal prayer and study time as well as what I see Him doing in the lives of the teenagers that I have the privilege of ministering to.  I believe that this is going to be a year of battling for our youth ministry.  Just in the first few months the enemy has tried to break our spirits by attacking different families in our ministry.  I have been praying for God’s protection over our ministry and the families that are involved.  I know that my God will come out victorious over the enemy.  That is the truth that I am holding onto during difficult times.  Make sure to check back for updates and feel free to leave comments.  God bless all of you.
