My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

Skillet out of Memphis Tennessee have been one of the most consistent Christian rock bands of my fantastic journey over the past 36 months. They’ve hit me hard with 6 big radio hits including “Rebirthing”, “The Last Night”, “Comatose”, “Live Free Or Let Me Die”, “Whispers In The Dark”, and “Hero”. The first 5 of those hits came from their 2006 album “Comatose”. Their hot new album “Awake” drops at retail and online next Tuesday (August 25TH), and it includes “Hero”.

I’ve purposely held on to Skillet’s “Rebirthing” to feature it on this specific week here on “My Fantastic Journey”. It’s the 3RD anniversary of my “Rebirthing”. My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ rescued me from the darkness, saved me, and led me with His open arms into the daylight. He did all of this over a short period of time, and I didn’t even realize what was going on until later when He made it all evident to me. The fantastic journey had already begun for me, as He was guiding and directing me towards a different direction. My life became a Life. I was alive. I was reborn. I experienced a “Rebirthing”. All at the age of 39.

This song was on the radio for me in the beginning:

Rebirthing now !
I wanna live for love – wanna live for You and me.
Breathe for the first time now – I come alive somehow.

Rebirthing now !
I wanna live my Life – wanna give You everything.
Breathe for the first time now – I come alive somehow.

It’s in the lyrics:

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

– It’s the middle Sunday of August of 2009.
– Homestead‘s Flagship Cinemas was the in-place to be this morning.
– That’s where we do church in a public setting.
– It’s how we roll every Sunday morning.
– Visit us at moviechurch.info for all of the 411.
– Lead Pastor Travis brought the message this morning.
– It was Week 6 of 6 of “Devastation And Redemption”.
– My two cents worth – It was the most relevant and powerful series of the year.
– Travis better bring it hard with the next message series ! 
– Today’s message was subtitled “Enjoy A Promised Land”.
– Let’s get cliché for a moment here:  No pain – No gain.
– Take any circumstance, add God, throw in contentment, and you’ve got gain.
– If it don’t hurt then you’re too comfortable.
– You can’t grow if you’re too comfortable.
– If you’re not growing then you’re dying.
– Don’t be some wooden mannequin just sitting there watching time fly by.
– Do something.
– Activate.
– Be fruitful with your God-given talents.
– Expand His Kingdom.
– Everything else must be secondary to your personal relationship with Jesus.
– When other things are placed prior to God you can expect devastation.
– But God will always welcome you back with open arms.
– That’s redemption.
– Your heart can’t be right until your money is right.
– Your money can’t be right until your heart is right.
– We are destined for the prosperity of God.
– Once we truly believe in Him it all works out in the end.

This morning’s teaching was based on the following Books, Chapters, and Verses out of The Truth:  James 1:2-4, 1 Timothy 6:6, Matthew 6:19-21, Joel 3:17-21, Revelation 21:1-7.

This week I celebrate the 3RD anniversary of my “Rebirthing”, and this Wednesday on “My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics” I’m featuring the video to the song that was there for me on the radio in the beginning. Be sure to join me as the euphoria of God’s miracle continues. Until then may God Bless each and every one of you. Go forth and love God and Man with reckless abandon.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Surrender Saved My Life”. The title of the song alone says it all, for all of this that I now have – this fantastic journey of the past 36 months – none of it would be possible if I didn’t surrender to God and acknowledge that I need Him in my Life. Once I put pride aside and made the admission it all turned around for me. A new Life began. The euphoria continues. This is the Renaissance of my Life !

1 Peter 1:23 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new Life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.

– I am like so totally stuffed right now.
– I just returned home from the LongHorn SteakHouse.
– I enjoyed the mother of all MASSIVE meals big and small.
– It was fun indulging with Patricia, Venus, Leo, and Martine.
– I think that I surpassed the 5,000 calorie mark with that one meal.
– But before all of that good food we dove in to the Good News LPC-style.
– Pastor Travis led us through Week 5 of our current study of the Book of Joel.
– It’s all about the “Devastation And Redemption”.
– My opinion – I think that this has been one of the most powerful series in awhile.
– I’ll remember this message series several months into the future.
– God saves us to use us to help save others.
– We serve God by expanding His Kingdom.
– Look up towards Christ, for you can’t lose when you’ve got Him in charge.
– May the God of all creation be inside each and every one of us.
– The Lord will return, and on that day we will be judged.
– Does the Holy Spirit truly live within our hearts and our souls ?
– He that wins souls is the wise One.
– God created us to raze hell.
– God created us to be His hands and His feet on His creation.
– Let’s roll !
