Ever wonder what it would be like to be a superhero? Just imagine all of the powers, and all the amazing things superhero's did. They saved lives, protected the world and devoted there time to making a bigger difference. Could you imagine devoting your life to a greater purpose such as saving the world? Theres a superhero that doesn't get as much credit as he deserves. This is the Ultimate Superhero! His name is Jesus Christ. He could walk on water, heal the sick, make the blind see, the deaf hear, cast demons out of people, and even bring people back to life. What if I told you that the great powers Jesus had didn't die at the cross? What if I told you that things unimaginable are happening around you that you may not even realize? Things like supernatural healing, lives being completely changed, true prophets roaming the earth today telling what will happen in different individuals lives. You would either agree with me and say yeah I know that happens, or think I am crazy and that nothing like that ever happens.
According to the bible we have the ability to give the blind sight, make the deaf hear, and heal any injuries God wants healed in ourselves and others. Now before I go on I would like to give you some evidence because I too didn't think God would allow me to do anything that AWESOME! Acts 1:4-8 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom of Israel?" He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior all of your sins are washed away as long as you ask forgiveness. When the Holy Spirit comes on you, you have the ability to radically change the world! God gives you the ability to heal, save, and prophecy over anyones life. This is something truly amazing and powerful. It is much easier to keep the communication with God open and full when you try to live by his rules, and give him everything you have and everything you are. God speaks to your heart, mind, body, and soul. With the clutter of society it is sometimes hard to hear Gods voice or Gods message in our lives. We sometimes tune him out and thinks hes not there when really all along he has been there for us.
So let me ask you something what if you had the ability to be a superhero for God, would you do it? God gave us choices its your call on what you choose.
God Bless!

What if I told you, that you were going to die soon?
From a faithful aspect to a connection with God do you believe that through faith we can have such a strong connection between someone else that we feel their pain and emotions? Sometimes life throws curves at us and even though we feel alone we aren't. God is always with us but more than that others are with us as well. Just recently I have been going through a very challenging time of confusion, frustration, and lost hope. All along I felt like I could overcome all of it, but I knew it would be a challenge. The power of prayer is more powerful than I can even know. I saw God work through me to help someone else when in actuality I was the one needing his guidance.
A few individuals prayed for me and that made a world of difference but I didn't realize it until after everything had happened. I didn't realize the effectiveness of prayer. Why our are lives being clustered into confusion, and busyness that we can't take fifteen minutes out of our day to pray for someone else? Why is it that most individuals be it Christians, or anyone in the United States choose to not regularly read the bible? Why is it that we plan for our future? "Well we plan for our future to have a life for ourselves and provide for our families." My next question then is if your family is so important to you would you save there lives if you could? If you answered yes to that then read on, if you answered no then there is still hope. Yes means that you care and you want to save someones temporary life, but what if you care more than just protecting them for a few days or years? What if you had the opportunity to give someone ETERNAL LIFE?
To get Eternal life doesn't mean you have to act like a prep, go to church every Sunday, and pray breakfast lunch and dinner. NO it simply means doing whats right, believing in God, and accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. In fact the more you learn about christianity, the more you learn that God actually wants us to be Warriors or Beauties. If you think of an angel you may think of something with wings that is beautiful and comes to save your life. When in actuality when angels were seen first hand from the bible, whoever saw one was terrified. They feared because these angels were HUGE, they were sent by God to fight battles, and were WARRIORS. The angels would have to tell them not to fear, and that God sends them to tell that person a message.
If thats not enough evidence then look at Jesus. He flipped tables and raised his voice! He didn't walk in and say now guys come on please don't use the church money in a bad way. Hey you probably shouldn't do that. NOPE he went and flipped tables. Now you may or may not know this but Jesus was an absolutely compassionate person, loving, caring, and sacrificing everything for everyone.
What if someone came up to you today and told you that you had 3 months to live? Would you come back to this post and ask about eternal life? Maybe or maybe you would go to a church out of curiosity. Maybe you already know what is going to happen to you when you leave this temporary life... maybe not. Well let me just tell you one thing if you take 15-30 minutes out of your day to devote to God, your life will truly be different. Maybe you want to spend the time praying, maybe you want to spend the time reading your bible, maybe you just want to sit and collect your thoughts about God. You have 1440 minutes in a day I don't think a few of those are going to kill you to be spent on a greater purpose.
I bet an average American watches 4 hours of television a day. With most of the time being commercials, but most Americans wont save there own life. It just astonishes me the way that society feels is normal, and just. I am not forcing you to do anything I am just letting you know that you have a choice, and this choice is BIG so think hard on your decision.
What if I told you, that you were going to do soon?
