A Look Into Kenny's Life

A message from God laid on my heart. Read in its entirety.

For the times we struggle with everything in life...With sin, with school, with work, with anything else that may be thrown at us, we need to just give it to God. That’s the only way it's gonna happen! That’s the only way things are gonna get fixed. The only way we're gonna live happy lives is if we give it to God. I need to give it ALL to God. Thank you Lord as YOU are the God of second chances, for everything you've forgiven all of us for! For all the worries you have taken, for all the lies you've erased, for all the hatred that has melted intlove. Foror some reason, God told me to post what was on my heart. The sin that has so invaded our world sickens me. With all the stuff floating around the internet, the newspapers, magazines and the television, how can this world turn back to Him?! The only way the world will be able to turn back to HIM is if we turn back to Him fully surrendering our lives to the one who created us and gave us that choice. I've been told that here on campus there are too many hypocrites. I have seen it to. I really don't like what I see. We are to be a school that reflects the life and the ways of Christ. Yes, nobody is perfect, but I have seen and heard too much.

If I, in anyway have offended anyone on campus, I give you my sincere apologies. I regret it if I have. I am to be a model for Christ, one following after Him in EVERYTHING I do. If I have said something to somebody, that has personally offended you, please come tell me. If I have said something that you believe is questionable, please come talk to me! If there was ever a doubt in your mind of something I've said or done, please forgive me. I have seen, as I said earlier, too much noChristianan actions, heard to many noChristianan words and it needs to stop. God tells us to be the initiators of what he wants to get rolling, so hergoes. I.I believe that God has something GREAT in store for this University. I believe that there is something that we can do to change this campus and the world around us. I have had too many conversations with people who are NOT satisfied with the life here on campus. With the lack of encouragement from each other, with being confused about what to do next. People, STEP UP AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON! LOOK AROUND YOU AT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE FALLING! God calls us to life those up that are falling for the way of the world or that are falling away from God due to the lack of Christ-like attitude.
I REALLY don't want to see this campus get a bad reputation from anything! I really believe there is a wonderful group of faculty/staff and students that live, commute and learn here. I really believe that something can be done about the world around us that is literally falling apart. I can see Jesus right now, standing in the Heavens, crying, begging, pleading that we turn to HIM! There is only one way the world will be changed; it's if WE start the fire. If WE start the revolution. If WE change our ways to fit the way the LORD has told us and intended us to live. In order for this to happen, We need to end our ways of lust, hatred, malice, lies, and any other sin that can come to your head. You know what you have done! You know what God has forgiven you of, leave it with HIM once you give it up! DON'T GIVE IT BACK! We need to have our hearts clear to do what God has given us to do.

Colossians 3:8 "But now rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips."

Colossians 3:12-14 "Therefore, as god's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against each other. Forgive as the Lord forgave youAndnd over all these virtues put on LOVE, which binds them all together in PERFECT unity."

Too many times, I have heard of grudges being held on campus. In this passage it CLEARLY states that this is not as it should be! There have been steps taken to rid this aspect of sin off campus that I have seen and I applaud those who are making an effort to live for Christ. I thank all of you who HAVE fully surrendered you lives to Christ, who are striving for perfection in Christ, even though you know it will never be done until heaven. I applaud all of you who attend the discipleship meetings, the prayer groups, the devotionals, the study groups and the small groups here on campus anoff. Thesese are examples of how we are to live our lives. John the Baptist, Paul, Stephen (in Acts chapter 7), Abraham, Daniel, Esther, the Apostle John, Deborah, and Moses. The list goes on! I think there is a way we can take care of these problems. Model you lives after these men and women mentioned in this paragraph. None of them were perfect, but thestripeded for perfection, toward the prize that was in the end. Other than Jesus Christ himself, these were some of the most faithful men and women in the Bible, we really could learn something from them.

I will leave you all this morning with a prayer to Our Heavenly Father, asking HIM to bring his peace guidance, wisdom, and mercy upon this campus.

Dear God, Father, Master, Lover of our Souls, thank you for the things you lay on our hearts. Thank you for the way you provide. Right now this campus is in trouble. I ask that in the coming weeks, months, and years, however long this process takes to heal and work itself out, that you would give guidance to the staff, the faculty, the trustees, and most importantly the students here at SWU. I ask right now Father, that you would cover this campus, guard this campus from the evils of the world. Guard the students for those that proclaim your message throughout the area and those that travel across the world to give it to those who have never heard of Jesus Christ. I ask that the spiritual battle that is ensuing amongst the many students here on and off campus would be fought with your mighty hosts, and not alone. I ask that you would have everyone think before they say, look before they do and seek after you. I thank you for the efforts that have been made to move toward your love and your life Lord. I thank you for the mercy that you have given us, the strength from day to day to deal with everything. As the semester is closing out, I ask that you would give everyone here a peace. Give everyone here the patience and the focus to get done what needs to be done for the semester. For those whose time has ended here, I ask that you would guide and direct their every move as the move on out of the college life, into the real world. I ask now that you would give all of us a sense of community, the best part, in my opinion, of college, the campus life. Please let your spirit hover over us as we strive to learn more about you, strive to learn more about your love and more about your mercy toward us. I thank you Father for the strength you give us day to day. For the faith you give us day by day. Thank you for the Spirit you have guided to this place. I am always in awe and wonder of the love you show us. I ask and give all of this in your precious Son's, Holy Name, Jesus Christ, Amen.

After reading this, make sure you give the effort to strive more toward Him. Make sure you strive more to give Him your everything.

Kenny
