How well do you know your God?

Guest Speaker: Vitaly

Time flies and we all group up, during your youth years we don’t think about the future, that we may have children and that they might follow our foot steps and make those horrible mistakes that we did.

People sometimes go out and try to find happiness elsewhere. When I was 15 I left home and never when back to my parents. I did a lot of things that I shouldn’t have, but that whole time my parents prayed for me. Each one of you is hear because your parents care and pray for you; provide everything for you. Due to your parent, you have a good life. Who told you that life is easy? Life is not easy; there is a saying “easy comes, easy goes”. That describes life! Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of us, it was not an easy way, he paid a big price for us.

I did not want to listen to church or my parents no matter how hard they forced me. One day my mother told me that Jesus will come soon and take his people and that I must repent or else I’ll be left behind. One day I came to my parents home and no one was there, the lights were on, pot of boiling water, and that really scared me, I thought that Jesus had come and I was left behind, I encourage all of you to get closer to Christ so you don’t have to worry about being left behind.

One day every one will meet Jesus and every knee will bow, every tong confess, I encourage everyone to profess his name before you have to bow your knees in front of him.

Proven fact that teens think mainly about the opposite sex, they think about it so much that they can’t even concentrate on Christ and ministry. God is looking for people every day that will take the word of God all over the country.

There are so many people right now that don’t know were they are, they are stuck in the middle, not sure if they are with Christ or with the world. People who have know God and stepped away get angry at times and tell God to leave them alone, but God says “no” I love and want you near me.

Every one of us who has met the Lord, they are given a talent by the Lord; question is, why don’t people use that talent and do Gods work.

People who are in the selling business always encounter with buyers asking to lower the price and bargain with the seller. You can compare that to Christianity, they may be in church but bargain with God and convince themselves that things they do out of church is not bad.

People blame God for them not being happy, they want to go out and party with friends but parents stop you by saying that is not Christian, or God is against that, we blame God and say that God doesn’t want me to have happiness.

God is looking for people, and is desperately looking for all of you. However, it is all but to us, will you reach the destination that God has planned out for each one of you?

Matthew 22:37: what does this verse mean? Devote your self to God, start with believing with your mind/heart, then spirit and soul.

         Are you ready to get to know the Lord with you mind, heart, soul, and spirit? God needs you and loves you. He has a plan for your life.

God wrote a book of your life before you were born, it is waiting for you to step up and accomplish the things God has planned for you!
