God is amazing! He protects and blesses us in the most unusual ways! Check out this 2 minute video to see how he just did that for me tonight at WaWa! God’s timing is always, always perfect!

Eat green, to save some green!

Take it from me weight lose is not always is easy! In this video my nephew Nick shows us how he lost sixteen pounds in just two weeks! Basically he replaced one meal with this special shake that he shows us how to make. Add a little walking and you’re going to be on your way to getting back in shape in no time!

Why would we want to do this? Well for one the bible tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, meaning when you accept Christ as your Savior the Spirit of God lives within in you.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

The Holy Spirit is your guide, sort of like a compass. And the more sensitive you become to Him, the Spirit of God, the better off you’ll be.

So taking care of our bodies is pleasing to God or it wouldn’t be in the bible. Not to mention all the health benefits we get from taking better care of ourselves. By the way, Nicky stated you might burp a few times, everyone is different but I didn’t burp once. Another added bonus is saving money. When you eat fruits and veggies you save some green.

Were talking replacing one meal a day with this shake. So consult your doctor, see if your body is ready to start exercising and drinking healthy shakes. Then give it a go! 

Lord of the harvest

By Chris Einwechter in : Practical Prayers // Feb 16 2012

Many of us often wonder what can we do to change our cities, our towns and even our country, so yea what can we do? Or better yet what is the most powerful thing we can do?

Well the bible says in Matthew 9 that there is a harvest, a way to help folks, a way to forever change lives. And it involves leading folks to the Savior, and God says that potential harvest is huge.

But Jesus goes on to say in Matthew 9:37-38 that although the harvest is huge, the workers are few. Meaning there are not many who are helping bring that harvest home.

So what’s the solution? Jesus said therefore we should all pray, all of us, that the Lord of the harvest would send out more workers,

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Matt 9.38 NIV

Jesus is saying pray, and pray for help for your city, your town by asking God to send out folks who will work that harvest! That’s how your going to bring change to a hurting and violent world.

See you in prayer.

The desires of your heart

By Chris Einwechter in : Practical Prayers // Jan 31 2012

When will God, as He says in Psalm 37:4, grant you the desire of your heart? When we take delight in Him and Him alone. That’s what the bible says,

Take delight in the LORD, 
   and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

But when will that happen? When we delight in Him, by doing the right thing, even when we don’t feel like it. Beware of feelings, waiting for the right feeling to serve the Lord and to put Him first. If your waiting that feeling may never come. So no, put the “D” word before your feelings, put discipline and obedience before feelings and the joy of the Lord will come! Put God first, even if you don’t feel like it and He’ll show up! 

Somebody’s blessing!
