Week of September 20, 2010
Greetings!
A friend of mine recently sent the
following email devotion to me.
How do we
connect with God's MORE?
MORE requires Communication
with God
Genesis 12:1 The Lord had said to
Abram...
Exodus 3:4 When the Lord saw
Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the
middle of the bush...
It always begins with communication with God. Sometimes He
initiates the conversation and other times it is the person. Either
way, communication with the LORD requires spending time...
1. Sincerely Desiring to know the person of God and the purpose of
God
2. Sincerely Seeking God's plans and Listening to God's voice
Seeking God is simply spending time in prayer and thoughtful
reflection on His Word. There is no shortcut to this step; it
requires time, stillness, and a listening heart. This is the place
where most people miss it. In doing so, they miss out on the
intimacy and freshness God wants us to experience!
1
Corinthians 2:12, 14 (NLT 1996) And God has actually given us his
Spirit so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
...But people who aren't Christians can't understand these truths
from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them because only those
who have the Spirit can understand what the Spirit
means.
Do you sincerely desire to know the person, purpose, and plans of
the LORD? Are you seriously sincere?
There is one true way to express this sincerity! Choose a quiet
time every day to be with the LORD. Seriously, choose a time and
put it on your calendar right now. Here is a promise: if you show
up at your scheduled time, He will be there!
1
Chronicles 4:10 "Oh, that you would bless me and expand my
territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all
trouble and pain!"
So how about it? Are you "seriously sincere"? What's on your
calendar?
Blessings to you,
Jan Broucinek

Last week we started our new series titled "Heart of Gold". God is seeking
those who will follow him "with all of their heart."
We invite you to join us this week as we learn how those with a
Heart of Gold, a heart after God, have a heart of a
worshiper.
Bring your friends!
Also this week, we're starting our new location name name search.
"The Barn" just doesn't seem to fit right. So we're asking that you
please write your suggestions on a 3x5 card and place them in the
ammo box at our meeting.
One of our guys, Vic Miranda is
looking for a roommate. He has a small room to rent for $350 a
month, includes utilities. Please contact him directly at
727-235-5210.

We are continuing our series by Henry Blackaby
- Experiencing
God.
Most Bible studies help people; this one changes them
forever.
For more than 15 years, God has used Experiencing God in His work,
showing believers how to know Him intimately while encouraging them
to step out in faith and join Him in His work-with miraculous
results.
Facilitated by Rich Roberts and Pastor Bill Losasso.

Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Your warrior prepares for battle
Today I claim the victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor
of God!
I put on the GIRDLE of TRUTH!
May I stand firm in the truth of YOUR WORD so that I will not be a
victim of Satan's lies.
I put on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS!
May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy,
protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.
I put on the SHOES of PEACE!
May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel so Your peace will
shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.
I take the SHIELD of FAITH!
May I be ready for Satan's fiery darts of doubt, denial, and deceit
so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.
I put on the HELMET of SALVATION!
May I keep my mind focused on YOU so that Satan will not have a
stronghold on my thoughts.
I take the SWORD of the SPIRIT!
May the two-edged sword of YOUR WORD be ready in my hands so I can
expose the tempting words of Satan.
By faith your warrior has put on the WHOLE armor of God! I am
prepared to live this day in spiritual victory!
Amen
