Sunday Reflections!!!

Man!!! NewSpring was rockin today. It was another successful day for God at NewSpring! 106 people came to Christ today and the count to 1000 rises. Yesterday NewSpring held an event at the church for the teens called PULSE!! 1300 teens made an appearance and 270 of those received Christ. This is a definite GOD THING, theres really no other way to say it. Today God spoke on Rev. 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." No matter what we have done in our lives, God always longs to have a personal relationship with us. In this verse, you see that there is no work required on the part of man. God does it all for us!! He knocks at our door, and all he asks us to do is open it, Yes it really is that simple!! Covenant is a word that you heat a lot of times in the Bible, 290 times to be in fact. Covenant was a promise made by two people. To symbolize sealing the deal so to speak, they would build a sacrifice and one person would walk one direction and the other would walk in the opposite direction. Once they met at the middle that was it, the deal was sealed, but when God made a covenant he would walk both directions symbolizing it was all on him. Salvation is a covenant made by in which requires nothing of us. All we have to do is simply open the door.

I am a professed Christian, but that doesn't mean that God never knocks at the door of my heart. In fact he was and has been doing so for along time now. He knocks at my door and says, "Kaleb, you should really give that up"or "You know what my calling for you is, so why don't you do it." God initially knocks at the door of our heart so that we will let him in. Once he is in, he then knocks on the door of our heart for us to let him out. What I mean by that, is once God is in our heart he doesn't intend for us to keep him there. He wants us to share him, his word, love, and mercy with others all over the world. There is only two things that matter in life, 1) accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. and 2) Tell others about him, so that they will accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Basically, the only thing that matters in life is people having a relationship with Christ. It doesn't matter what you do, if you aren't using your gift to spread the word of God and make his name more famous, you are wasting your time (1Cor. 3:12-15). If we have accepted the King of Kings into our heart, we get we should be letting him out every chance we get!!
