Mark 4:11-12

Mark 4:11-12 : And He said to them, " To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; And their sins be forgive them.

:  Here Jesus tells us that He tells His parables, not that the people may perceive not that they will understand, but that they may see and their sins be forgiven. On the mission field in Guatemala, Team Guatemala will, by Gods will, be given the chance to minister and tell people about Him and the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made so that they may have Salvation. While we are in Guat, there will be times were we may get that chance, some will listen, some will turn an walk away or call us crazy. But, no matter what the outcome may be, we shall keep pressing on in our Fathers work.We were born into this world for only one reason, so that our Father can use us as tools to bring the Good news to the masses. the news of eternal life.  We were not meant to sit around and keep the Lords light for ourselves, we were meant to share it with others out there who are walking in darkness and confusion. As we are to help the blind to cross the street, and help the deaf to learn how to talk with there hands so they know what others are saying, we are to be the light to help those out there who are walking in Spiritual darkness to see where they are going and so they may find God and find His love that never fails.

APPLICATION : While in Guatemala or on my way there on the plane, I'm going to close my eyes and pray to the Lord and thank Him for giving me the chance to tell others in another country about Him and minister to them about His divine love.

Luke 21 ;19

Luke 21:19 - By your patience, possess your souls. : Here Jesus is talking about patience. " By patience, possess your souls." Patience is key in a believers walk with our heavenly Father. If we are patient, and wait on Him, He will certainly back us up in our spiritual walk with Him, especially in our troubling  times. Our God is a just God, a awesome God who delights in the patience of His children. If we are not patient and don't wait on God, this will grieve our Father immensily . Being patient in tough circumstances is beneficial to the christians way of life. we must always remember that , our Father has our back , no matter how hard the day may be or how loud the spiritual warfare in our heads may get. APPLICATION : Tomorrow, I will be patient if spiritual warfare or conflict comes my way. i will give all my frustrations and worries to my Father in Heaven and will always keep in mind that in tough trials, He has my back, if only I cry out to Him.

Ephesians 6:1 / Colossians 3:20

Ephesians 6:1- Children, Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Colossians 3:20 - Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. : These two books contain two verses with the same exact rule that all children(and teens) should know. Both tell us to honor our mom and dad. This rule is not only mentioned in these texts, but also is one of Gods Ten Commandments that is therefore found in the book of Exodus. Exodus 20:12 says: " Honor your father and mother, that yours days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you." What do these texts mean by honoring our parents? It simply tells us that honoring our mom and dad here on earth, pleases the Lord. The Lord smiles when we obey the parents that He placed in our lives. Obedience towards parents is the most beautiful thing under the sun. If we obey our parents, we also in the long run are obeying God as well. Now, let's think about this. Is it better t

Faith

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things unseen : In this verse .it talks about how faith is the substance of things hoped for . Jesus said "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains." This is very true !!  if we believe in the Lord our God , whom is very much real but yet unseen , and if we put all our faith in Him, He can help us in the thick and thin of our every day life . Believe it or not, I learned that during my childhood. I had a childhood experience that I will never forget. I know this may sound very far fetched, but, it is the truth that I know most people who have had the same incident happen, would definitley believe. I must have been 7 years of age at the time when this took place . It was a week after my 7th birthday that me and my friend were playing with a flying disc, or as it is called ,frisby at the time in the backyard and were laughing and carrying on like children do, when my frien
