Honor's Reward

We visited Capital Christian Church in Meridian this past Sunday (one of the many advantages of a Saturday night service). My close friend and brother in Christ, Dimitri Nosarev had mentioned to me that a very well known speaker John Bevere would be there. I enjoy hearing good messages so mw wife and I joined his family, and man am I GLAD WE DID! It was an incredible message. The way the Holy Spirit gave him the passages and insight into the Word was amazing. We subsequently have purchased the book and study guide which are both very, very good as well. I wanted to share this sermon with you as I feel like it is an extremely worth while view.

I also wanted to share with you the amazing message that Dusty Taylor gave on Saturday night. It was definetly Holy Spirit driven. We have been doing a worship series and this message is titled "Worshipping in Spirit and Truth". It is definitely worth the listen...

The Battle Rages On

We are engaged in a VERY REAL BATTLE.

Now I know that this is probably not an epiphany to most, but hang with me here, because I think the Holy Spirit was speaking to me...

It struck me that if we are engaged in an active, literal, battle, what should every action look like? Imagine if this was a physical battle (i.e. we are living in a war zone with enemy troops all around us) If you look at it from this military stand point, wouldn't our lives be different? I think if we look at our lives in this light we would demonstrate some of these characteristics in every aspect of our lives:

- we would be highly aware (rarely get complacent)
- Interactions with our officers/enlistees (read church leaders/volunteers or followers of Christ) and with our opponent (Satan and those following his influence) would be very strategic
- Every action would be completed with urgency
- Every opportunity would be considered an opportunity to either advance or be advanced upon

We who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ (our General) need to first gain the awareness to look at EVERY interaction with a person as an opportunity to either advance the kingdom, or continue in the status quo. And let me break this out here because I think this is REALLY IMPORTANT...

Maintaining the status quo with someone who is either:
- not a follower of Christ (a lost soul),
- a back-slidden Christian (one who is completely complacent) or
- a Christ follower who's walk has plateaued

IS BEING ADVANCED UPON!!!

Imagine if a physical enemy had their opponent convinced they were not in a war. They would be able to walk right in to town un-detected and take over! The enemy would love nothing less than to have their enemy have a bunch of people who did not know that they were in the middle of a battle.

There are people all around us who are being slain and we are not even paying attention!?!

Yet, We have the advantage of knowing the outcome! We KNOW that our Father wins!

So lets make every action count! Lets take every opportunity to inflict damage on our enemy by showing and proclaiming the love of Jesus Christ with boldness! Lets stop hiding behind the barracks of our four church walls and take the fight to the enemy! Lets band together as a body, a literal 'Band of Brothers' and stake our Fathers flag in our streets, our neighborhoods, our region, our nation, our WORLD! Why are we hunkered down and on the defensive? Lets get out there and start inflicting some mortal wounds on our enemy by passionately proclaiming the name of the one true God, by reviving past brothers, and by saving the lost!


Will YOU join me?

If you are with me let me know! What else can we do to damage the enemy?

Thoughts on Praying in Faith

Hope you enjoy my quick thoughts on Praying in Faith. You can check out our ~weekly devotional videos at ConnectionVids and more vids at www.imconnected.org I would love to hear your thoughts on prayer and how God is moving in you.

Not sure how the image that came up was my toungue sticking out, but *rasberry to you :)

Welcome to my blog

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Jeremy Wight. In this post I will try and explain my intentions for this blog, and what to expect.

I believe that technology, if applied correctly, has the potential to unify us in ways that up until recently could not have even been fathomable. For example, with one quick message I can communicate with ALL of my friends and family all over the world. I have the opportunity to be mentored by the likes of John Maxwell, Michael Hyatt, etc. people that in no other circumstances would have the time to be personally mentoring me. In turn, I have the incredible opportunity to mentor others all over the world. Crazy to think about!!!

I believe I have something to give that is of value to others. I want to be as effective as possible at delivering that value, and I believe that this is one tool that will help me to accomplish that goal.

So what is it that you have to give? I'm glad you asked :)

- Insights that God has revealed to me through His Holy Spirit
- Devotionals
- Leadership Guidance

The above items will be the 'meat' of my posts. I will also spend time updating you on what God is doing in my life. God desires us to encourage one another. I hope and pray that God will use me to encourage you to: seek to KNOW the God of the Universe more and more, experience His CRAZY Love, and last but definitely not least, share the same with others.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and please connect with me via Twitter, FaceBook and your Blog. I truly want to build a relationship with those I come into contact with.

Blessings!

Jeremy Wight
