Praise God!

Today I witnessed an answer to a prayer that I've had for a while! A little over a year ago I moved to Taylor. Since I started ministering here my prayer has been that God would raise up an army of young people that love Him more than anything/one else & that will take their city for Christ. I know that those things begin & end in prayer, after all we're only as strong as our prayer life is. So I know that I was praying that students would develop strong prayer lives. It seemed hard at first to get people together to pray, not because they were forced to but because they wanted to. Today, even as I type this, there are 7 or 8 students & young adults in our youth room praying & seeking God!

2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

God is moving in the Taylor & Downriver area! The battle is on!

On my knees fighting,

Luis

Think Different

I was reading the book of Daniel & there were a few things that jumped out at me. God's chosen people have always been "different" people. Ever wonder why you might think a little different than other people? Why you might be a little strange? Well, there are some people who are just strange but God's people are are strange because we weren't created to be like everyone else we were created to be like God.

Daniel 3:-8 - ³Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring in some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility – ⁴young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king's palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. ⁵The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king's table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king's service. ⁶Among these were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. ⁷The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. ⁸But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.

v. 8 - but Daniel chose to "Think Different"...

God's people think different because we were created to make a difference. It's the people who think different that make a difference. "Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - apple computers

Are you crazy enough to believe you can make a difference for God? Are you even crazier to live that difference?

Crazy enough to think (& live) different,
