Bible Quizzing- Mini Message

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
I had a great opportunity a week ago to deliver a short message to all the students at our Bible Quiz Match.  I struggled coming up with a theme for the message.  I had a month to prepare but who waited till the day before... THIS CHICK!  I have no idea why I do that... I really had been thinking about it and several times I sat down to read and seek what God wanted me to say but I remained a blank slate.  Thankfully as I sat down the day before it just all clicked and I knew what I wanted to say.  :)  BIG RELIEF!  

The youth group was going to first lead us in worship so right away I made a request for them to play "The Anthem" by Jake Hamilton.  Since I knew that song was going to be played it really allowed me to focus on delivering a message with agreeing with the many truths in that song.  

So here are my notes from what I shared... 

One thing that we have started doing as a church here at Living Well is Declarations.  We proclaim and declare with our mouths and from our tongue come good things, heavenly things, life giving words!  

Sadly as a youth pastor the number one thing I say to students is watch your tongue... there is life and death in it.  
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Proverbs 18:21---- Raise your hand if I have said that to you???

I know I have heard these many lies from your mouths...from my own mouth- “I’m a failure” “I’m ugly”  “I’m too Short”  “Too Tall”  “I’m fat”  “I’m not good enough”  “I’m getting sick”  “I’m going to fail that test”  “I CAN’T DO IT” “I can’t get a job.”  

In Matthew 12:37- “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned”   

Also in Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man think in his heart, so is he.”  

So they way we think and talk about ourselves will affect our lives!  When you came to the loving Knowledge of JESUS you need to remember who you are in Him

If we are stuck believing these lies from the enemy we are forgetting who we are in Christ.   
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
I am a princess of the most High God
I am Royalty
You have been set free
           You are made in HIS image
           I’m going to shake history
I am a world changer for Christ
           GOD does not make mistakes- He made you on purpose for a purpose
         God Loves me, Jesus Died for me
You are going to touch many lives for JESUS

So start your day declaring and remembering who you are in CHRIST!  As your in the shower declare you are the LIGHT at your SCHOOL, declare you are a world changer, Shout out that you are HIS BELOVED!  Walking from class to class or to school, or even sitting on the toilet!  SHOUT IT OUT... BELIEVE IT and don’t forget to rebuke the lies of the enemy.  YOU ARE A WINNER not a FAILURE and not matter what YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL and made in CHRIST’S Image!  I can be who God has created me to be!

Not only can we do this for ourselves but we can be proclaiming and Declaring for our school, church, neighborhood, state, nation, world!  

Today before we go back to quizzing what lie have you been believing?  REBUKE It and declare a truth over you life.  Lets go back into that awesome song and WORSHIP.  

Prayer- Anthony Worship Team

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
