Double standards

So this has been a deja vu conversation I keep having with people is my opp ion of Facebook.
Here goes...
I see facebook as a place where a lot of people tend to be a little double faced. You can see them on Sunday morning and they are a hundred percent in love with the Lord, then you see them on facebook or myspace, and there are pictures with some more inappropriate things going. Not that I have ANY place to judge them or say what they are doing is wrong. (Working on the log in my eye first -wink-).
But think about this please...
What if we started using Facebook and myspace, and blogs as a place to glorify the Lord? How amazing would that be? If just by looking at peoples Facebooks you just felt the presence of the Holy spirit? If we had EVERY aspect of our lives being arrows pointing straight up to heaven. Instead of showing how "cool" we think we are, or how attractive and having tons of pictures with the opposite sex. We are to be blameless in the eyes of the Lord. I am by no means perfect, and I am sure there might be stuff on my facebook that might not be the best. But make a conscience effort the glorify Him with your facebook. My sisters call me up the second something is questionable on my facebook, and its great accountability. I would never want the word of my testimony killed my something silly that was in a picture, or comment. And people who are role models, with some of your things, would you want kids who look up to you doing those things? If you were in a club, and you could have not have even drink en a sip or done anything but all they see is hey they are in a bar, and I look up to them as a spiritual leader? Then they go and do it because you in that portrait have told them you approve of that. Try not to give off any appearance of evil!

1 Timothy 1:5-7
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart, and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teacher of the law, but they do not know what are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

Titus 1:7
Since an overseer is entrust with God's work, he must be blameless- not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refuse those who oppose it.

It is powerful to start trying to glorify God even in the small aspects of your life. In the things that do not seem like a big deal. Be a light for Jesus in EVERY dark place, even if it is already dimly light, make it brighter.

So God has been really pushing me about just really talking to random people (Walmart and the Daily Grind are His favorite so far, lol) He's been giving me prophetic words for some and just and urge to talk to others. So at first I was just kind of making small chat with random strangers, then just saying "God bless" at the end of the conversation. Nothing big, no mountains moving. Just trying to be a light. Well then reality check came in, I do NOT want to be a dim light I want to be His light, and His light is blinding not a timid God bless you. So I started praying for people as I would walk through stores and so on.
So here is what God has been letting me translate in the last lets say three or four weeks maybe?

So about two weeks ago I was in Walmart and this lady was checking out in front of me, and she was casually talking to the cashier, so I kept seeing a picture of the Prodigal son. Of course I quickly dismiss and kind of argue with God like "seriously? Please let me just get my stuff and be on my way..." well obviously God won the fight, so I ask the lady as she is gathering her sacks if she had a son missing. She looks at me and starts sobbing, so I ask her if I can walk to her car and pray for her. Luckily she quickly nodded her head, so I proceed to follow her to car.
She begins to tell me the story of her son, he had Leukemia when he was about 4 and had been healed through much prayer, raised in a very christian family who loved the Lord. Well when he turned 16 he got hard core into drugs, achohol, and girls. By the time he was 17 he dropped out of high school and ran away from the house. He was gone for about a year then moved in with his grandparents. He had gone the hospital several times from over dossing on drugs.
I looked at her and asked if I could pray for the Lord's restoration in the relationship, and just for God to show himself to her son. She nodded, I prayed and then gave her my number and said please never hesitate to call. Exactly ONE week later almost to the hour she called, her son had returned home, and wanted to go to rehab and get his life back on track!


I was in daily grind about a month ago and this guy walked out of the bathroom and I just randomly start talking to him (surprise surprise I will talk to any one) so I start asking him about his life, and he tells me he has just put in his resume for a full-time job working with youth at a christian company who works in high schools, I ask him if I can pray with him (John Fajuke was with me too!) and so we laid our hands on him and prayed, he emailed me on facebook the next day and had received the job!

I have a few more, but I will leave it at that!
Do not be afraid to step out in faith! God will rock your world with it!
