Men of great faith and their Visions

Part 2


As i said below David was loved by God very much. But he made horrible mistakes that cost him alot of pain and grief. He lost a baby, and there was war within his household. 1 chronicles 22 is about Solomon and Davids talk b4 Davids death.

David says to Solomon that it was in his heart to build a temple for God. But God told him because all the shed blood he was not to build the temple. Now he started collecting the tools and things need to build, but was not to build the temple. But his son Solomon was appointed by God to build the temple.

David had the vision but never Got to see it through, because of his sins were so great.But because Davids unconditional love for God, David had prayed and repented for his sins. God forgave him but, David still had to live with the consequences of the sin.

Moses was another great man of God and made mistakes. He was told by God to do something a certain way and did it another way and out of anger. So in the end he had to suffer the consquences and never enter into the promised land. Moses could see it in the distance but never got to be a part of the joy and blesssings of the vision God had given him. But he still lead the people in the right direction of the vision God had given. Moses suffered the consequences of his actions in the end just as David and just as all of us will.

Now God forgave both men. Just as he will with us, but we all will have to suffer the consequences of our actions. David and Moses both had visions that they started but never got to carryout. Someone else finished the vision. But they still where forgiven. So If God forgave these men who are we to judge our neighbor and condem them. We should be praying for them.

Remember:1 Corinthians 3:16.
16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
As long as u ask yourself this Question b4 u do anything u will be fine. Also be looking for God's fingerprints in everything you do.

David a man of God

Part 1

David a man of God

David a Godly man, who was far from perfect. He not only sinned he sinned big. But God called him a man after his own heart. 1 sam13:14

David and Bathsheba had an affair while Bathsheba’s husband was away at war. He was a solider of David’s army.

1. Bathsheba became pregnant

a. David tried to cover it up

i. He sent for Uriah while he was in the field to come home. David got him drunk and told him to go b with his wife. Uriah did not he was faithful to the cause and the men he was on the line with. He would not indulge in pleasure until the war was over.

ii. David ha Uriah to be placed in the heat of the battle were he could be killed. And was killed.

The Lord sent Nathan to David to show him his mistakes and wrongs. Without hesitation, David asks for forgiveness and accepts the consequences of his sins.

2samuel13-14 shows the consequences for his actions. But he took what was coming to him without trying to run and hide from his mistakes. Also because he didn’t come to God with his problems at the beginning he suffered harder consequences.

Yet David still one the Lords favor and became the model king for kings to come. Later Jesus became a descendant of David. That’s the line I would be proud to have. David showed his love to God by worship and praise, prayers, and just by acknowledge & proclaiming his love. Psalms is David talks and his relationship with God. Psalms speaks of David’s love & worship for God. He took time to praise and thank God for everything. By David’s faith and words we learn how to become favor of the Lord. If we need help praying or having trouble listen for Gods voice, David’s words can help us.

1 Samuel focus on David’s life b4 he became king

2 Samuel is his rule as king

1 Kings is his death “beginning of kings”

1 Chronicles speaks a little on David

There may b more but this is all I no

VISION

David worshiped the Lord so much he wanted to build a temple to honor him. He had a vision and a heart for God.

More on David’s vision later

Everyone has Faith

How often do we just want to be notice? How often do we just want people to just see something special in us? We all believed in ourselves at some point in our lives. But somewhere down the line we lose faith in ourselves. Why? Because he said, she said. Faith is the hardest thing to have for humans. Why? because we are so easliy infulenced by others. We tend to lose faith because it is to much to handle, or it takes to much work. We even lose faith beacause we had no success with a prior issue. We want things to happen right away, with a huge impact.
Most of us if not all have takin a leap of faith and it has failed. We also have taken a leap that has succeeded. Yet some may keep faith in there life and others give up on faith. The glass is hafe full and the glass is hafe empty. Which one are you?
We all want to have faith and beleive and achieve.
Sometimes we just dont know how?
Sometimes we are afraid?
We all want our lives to be better and we all dream of a better tmw.
We sometimes give up quick and sometimes try to reach it.

When was the last time some has trusted me or believed I could do that?
Why can't I achieve that? I wish that was me.

When was the last time I belived in someone?
When was the last time I help someone else?
but why would I beleive in them they or nobody has ever me.
We must recognize our lives cannot center around ourselves. when we try and fail it makes it even harder for us later.
Hebrews 3:13 13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

Trust me if u feel this way at anypoint or recall these thoughts, or something similiar to them there is no difference in you and the happiest person in the world.
Everyone has faith its just the matter of what and where u put it.


Every religion teaches us something and is a leap of faith. Every belief changes our hearts, minds and souls. Be careful on what u chose in you life because it affects u and everyone around you?
Only one faith can teach us love, faith, respect, forgiveness, hope, and gives us what we need as well as others around us. It teaches us How to servive and shows us unconditional Love. It tells us to bless others and we will be blesssed. It teaches us forgiveness and shows us that we all can do it and we all have someone who believes in us.
Luke 18:27 Jesus replied,"what is impossible with men IS POSSIBLE with God.
so what we believe is never gonna happen will and can through God and faith in Jesus.

Philippians2:3-4 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

When we fail ourselves it hurts us more then someone else who fail us. When someone else fails us it sometimes hurts and sometimes doesnt. God never fails us and never gives up on us.
Our friends and family may give up on us and leave us. Only one man is said to never give up on us and it is Jesus.
Can u imagin what it is like to have Unconditional Love for someone that u would die for them. How about for people that u never met? We all mess up in our lives and because of that mess up we may not be accepted somewhere or at some point. whouldnt that be great if we would be forgiven and given another chance and to feel special and loved. Only on way of life can do that and its not a religion its a way u live ur life and where u choose to put ur faith. What does jesus teach?
How to forgive and Love others. To beleive in others and show them that through faith in Jesus they can have it all. It all in the matter of how we choose to live our lives. God wants us to take that step forward and that leap of faith and show the world that Love can beat anything and in the end Love will win. We all have free will in the end and we all can do what we want but why not do the one thing in this world that doesnt show hate and greed and doubt. Why not take that leap of faith and trust in Jesus.

Anyhow I can go on 4 ever but i'm pregnant and i need my rest so Good nite!!
